These devices feature very low quiescent current (typ.75µA), and very low dropout voltage (typ.45mV at light loads and 380mV at 150mA) thus prolonging battery life. The quiescent current increases only slightly in dropout. The AMS2950/AMS2951 has positive transient protection up to 60V and can survive unregulated input transient up to 20V below ground. The AMS2950 and AMS2951 were designed to include a tight initial tolerance (typ. 0.5%), excellent load and line regulation (typ. 0.05%), and a very low output voltage temperature coefficient, making these devices useful as a low-power voltage reference. The AMS2950 is offered in the 3-pin TO-92 package. AMS2951 is available in 8-pin plastic SOIC and DIP packages and offers three major additional system features. An error flag output warns of a low output voltage, often due to failing batteries on input. The AMS2951 also features the logic-compatible shutdown input which enables the regulator to be switched on and off. The AMS2951 device may be pin-strapped for a 5.0V, 3.3V, 3.0V or 2.5 output, or programmed from 1.24V to 29V with an external pair of resistors.

Operating Ratings are conditions under which operation of the device is guaranteed. Operating Ratings do not imply guaranteed performance limits. For guaranteed performance limits and associated test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics tables. Note 2: Unless otherwise specified all limits guaranteed for VIN = ( VONOM +1)V, IL = 100 µA and CL = 1 µF for 5V versions and 2.2µF for 3V and 3.3V versions. Limits appearing in boldface type apply over the entire junction temperature range for operation. Limits appearing in normal type apply for TA = TJ = 25°C Additional conditions for the 8-pin versions are FEEDBACK tied to VTAP, OUTPUT tied to SENSE and VSHUTDOWN ≤ 0.8V. Note 3: Guaranteed and 100% production tested. Note 4: Guaranteed but not 100% production tested. These limits are not used to calculate outgoing AQL levels. Note 5: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100 mV below its nominal value measured at 1V differential. At very low values of programmed output voltage, the minimum input supply voltage of 2V ( 2.3V over temperature) must be taken into account. Note 6: Comparator thresholds are expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the feedback terminal below the nominal reference voltage measured at VIN = ( VONOM +1)V. To express these thresholds in terms of output voltage change, multiply by the error amplifier gain = Vout/Vref = (R1 + R2)/R2. For example, at a programmed output voltage of 5V, the error output is guaranteed to go low when the output drops by 95 mV x 5V/1.235 = 384 mV. Thresholds remain constant as a percent of Vout as Vout is varied, with the dropout warning occurring at typically 5% below nominal, 7.5% guaranteed. Note 7: Vref ≤Vout ≤ (Vin - 1V), 2.3 ≤Vin≤30V, 100µA≤IL≤ 150 mA, TJ ≤ TJMAX. 3 Advanced Monolithic Systems http://www.ams-semitech.com µA AMS2950/1 Note 8: The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance are as follows:180°C/W and 160°C/W for the TO-92 (N) package with 0.40 inch and 0.25 inch leads to the printed circuit board (PCB) respectively, 105°C/W for the molded plastic DIP (P) and 160°C/W for the molded plastic SO-8 (S). The above thermal resistances for the N, S and P packages apply when the package is soldered directly to the PCB. Note 9: May exceed input supply voltage. Note 10: When used in dual-supply systems where the output terminal sees loads returned to a negative supply, the output voltage should be diode-clamped to ground. Note 11: Vshutdown ≥ 2V, Vin ≤ 30V, Vout =0, Feedback pin tied to 5VTAP. Note 12: Output or reference voltage temperature coefficients defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range. Note 13: Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time T after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load or line regulation effects. Specifications are for a 50mA load pulse at VIN =30V (1.25W pulse) for T =10 ms. Note 14: Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature, using pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered under the specification for thermal regulation. Note 15: Line regulation for the AMS2951 is tested at 150°C for IL = 1 mA. For IL = 100 µA and TJ = 125°C, line regulation is guaranteed by design to 0.2%. See typical performance characteristics for line regulation versus temperature and load current. Note 16: All AMS2950 devices have the nominal output voltage coded as the last two digits of the part number. In the AMS2951 products, the 2.5V 3.0V and 3.3V versions are designated by the last two digits, but the 5V version is denoted with no code of the part number.

(µs) 40 50 25 30 AMS2950/1 APPLICATION HINTS External Capacitors Since the AMS2951’s dropout voltage is load dependent (see curve in typical performance characteristics), the input voltage trip point (about 5V) will vary with the load current. The output voltage trip point (approx. 4.75V) does not vary with load. The error comparator has an open-collector output which requires an external pull-up resistor. This resistor may be returned to the output or some other supply voltage depending on system requirements. In determining a value for this resistor, note that the output is rated to sink 400µA, this sink current adds to battery drain in a low battery condition. Suggested values range from 100K to 1MΩ. The resistor is not required if this output is unused. A 1.0 µF or greater capacitor is required between output and ground for stability at output voltages of 5V or more. At lower output voltages, more capacitance is required (2.2µ or more is recommended for 3V and 3.3V versions). Without this capacitor the part will oscillate. Most types of tantalum or aluminum electrolytic works fine here; even film types work but are not recommended for reasons of cost. Many aluminum types have electrolytes that freeze at about -30°C, so solid tantalums are recommended for operation below -25°C. The important parameters of the capacitor are an ESR of about 5 Ω or less and resonant frequency above 500 kHz parameters in the value of the capacitor. The value of this capacitor may be increased without limit. At lower values of output current, less output capacitance is required for stability. The capacitor can be reduced to 0.33 µF for currents below 10 mA or 0.1 µF for currents below 1 mA. Using the adjustable versions at voltages below 5V runs the error amplifier at lower gains so that more output capacitance is needed. For the worst-case situation of a 200mA load at 1.23V output (Output shorted to Feedback) a 3.3µF (or greater) capacitor should be used. Unlike many other regulators, the AMS2950, will remain stable and in regulation with no load in addition to the internal voltage divider. This is especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive applications. When setting the output voltage of the AMS2951 version with external resistors, a minimum load of 1µA is recommended. A 1µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor should be placed from the AMS2950/AMS2951 input to the ground if there is more than 10 inches of wire between the input and the AC filter capacitor or if a battery is used as the input. Stray capacitance to the AMS2951 Feedback terminal can cause instability. This may especially be a problem when using a higher value of external resistors to set the output voltage. Adding a 100 pF capacitor between Output and Feedback and increasing the output capacitor to at least 3.3 µF will fix this problem. Programming the Output Voltage (AMS2951) The AMS2951 may be pin-strapped for the nominal fixed output voltage using its internal voltage divider by tying the output and sense pins together, and also tying the feedback and VTAP pins together. Alternatively, it may be programmed for any output voltage between its 1.235V reference and its 30V maximum rating. As seen in Figure 2, an external pair of resistors is required. The complete equation for the output voltage is: Vout = VREF × (1 + R1/ R2)+ IFBR1 where VREF is the nominal 1.235 reference voltage and IFB is the feedback pin bias current, nominally -20 nA. The minimum recommended load current of 1 µA forces an upper limit of 1.2 MΩ on value of R2, if the regulator must work with no load (a condition often found in CMOS in standby) IFB will produce a 2% typical error in VOUT which may be eliminated at room temperature by trimming R1. For better accuracy, choosing R2 = 100k reduces this error to 0.17% while increasing the resistor program current by 12 µA. Since the AMS2951 typically draws 60 µA at no load with Pin 2 open-circuited, this is a small price to pay. Reducing Output Noise Error Detection Comparator Output In reference applications it may be an advantageous to reduce the AC noise present at the output. One method is to reduce the regulator bandwidth by increasing the size of the output capacitor. This is the only way that noise can be reduced on the 3 lead AMS2950 but is relatively inefficient, as increasing the capacitor from 1 µF to 220 µF only decreases the noise from 430 µV to 160 µV rms for a 100 kHz bandwidth at 5V output. Noise could also be reduced fourfold by a bypass capacitor across R1, since it reduces the high frequency gain from 4 to unity. Pick The comparator produces a logic low output whenever the AMS2951 output falls out of regulation by more than approximately 5%. This figure is the comparator’s built-in offset of about 60 mV divided by the 1.235 reference voltage (Refer to the block diagram). This trip level remains “5% below normal” regardless of the programmed output voltage of the 2951. For example, the error flag trip level is typically 4.75V for a 5V output or 11.4V for a 12V output. The out of regulation condition may be due either to low input voltage, current limiting, or thermal limiting. Figure 1 gives a timing diagram depicting the ERROR signal and the regulator output voltage as the AMS2951 input is ramped up and down. For 5V versions the ERROR signal becomes valid (low) at about 1.3V input. It goes high at about 5V input (the input voltage at which Vout = 4.75 ). CBYPASS ≅ 1 / 2πR1 × 200 Hz or about 0.01 µF. When doing this, the output capacitor must be increased to 3.3 µF to maintain stability. These changes reduce the output noise from 430 µV to 100 µV rms for a 100 kHz bandwidth at 5V output. With the bypass capacitor added, noise no longer scales with output voltage so that improvements are more dramatic at higher output voltages. 9 Advanced Monolithic Systems http://www.ams-semitech.com AMS2950/1 APPLICATION HINTS (Continued) +VIN OUTPUT VOLTAGE 4.75V 8 100k VOUT 1.2 30V +VIN 5 ERROR* ERROR OUPUT ERROR* 5V INPUT VOLTAGE 3 **SHUTDOWN INPUT VOUT AMS2951 SD R1 GND 4 1.3V 1 FB 7 3.3µF 1.23V VREF FIGURE 1. ERROR Output Timing * + .01 µF R2 FIGURE 2. Adjustable Regulator *When VIN ≤1.3V the error flag pin becomes a high impedance, and the error flag voltage rises to its pull-up voltage. Using Vout as the pull-up voltage (see Figure 2), rather than an external 5V source, will keep the error flag voltage under 1.2V (typ.) in this condition. The user may wish to drive down the error flag voltage using equal value resistors (10 kΩ suggested), to ensure a lowlevel logic signal during any fault condition, while still allowing a valid high logic level during normal operation. *See Application Hints.

It’s error flag becomes active when VIN≤ 5.7V. When VIN drops below 5.3V, the error flag of Reg.#2 becomes active and via Q1 latches the main output off. When VIN again exceeds 5.7V Reg.#1 is back in regulation and the early warning signal rises, unlatching Reg.#2 via D3. VOUT = 1.23V(1+R1/R2) For 5V VOUT, use internal resistors.
