Advanced Power Electronics Corp. APE8873 1.6X LINEAR REGULATOR FOR DC FAN DRIVER CONTROL FEATURES DESCRIPTION Low Dropout Voltage: [email protected] VO Follows 1.6 times of VSET Enable/Shutdown function Stable with Low ESR Ceramic Capacitors Current-Limit and Thermal Shutdown Protection SOP-8 Pb-Free Package The APE8873 is a low dropout linear regulator which is designed to power a DC fan and delivers up to 500mA output current. The output voltage follows the 1.6 times of VSET voltage and typical dropout voltage is only 150mV (typical) at 500mA output current. The V SET voltage must be larger than 1V to guarantee V O 1.6 times of VSET. An enable pin further reduces power dissipation while shut-down. The features of current limit (with fold back current) and over temperature protection protect the device against current over-loads and over temperature. The APE8873 is available in a SOP-8 package.

BLOCK DIAGRAM VO VIN Current Limit and Short Protection - + Error Amp Thermal Shutdown EN Enable GND VSET FUNCTION DESCRIPTION Output Voltage Regulation The Output Voltage is set by VSET voltage. VO output voltage follows the 1.6 times of VSET voltage until it reaches VIN voltage. Current-Limit The APE8873 monitors the current via the output PMOS and limits the maximum current to prevent load and APE8873 from damages during overload or short circuit conditions. Short Current Protection When the output voltage drops below 0.6V (typical), which is caused by over load or short circuit, the fold back current limit circuitry limits the output current to 500mA. The fold back current limit is used to reduce the power dissipation during short circuit condition. Thermal Shutdown A thermal shutdown circuit limits the junction temperature of APE8873. When the junction temperature exceeds +150°C, a thermal sensor turns off the output PMOS, allowing the device to cool down. The regulator regulates the output again through initiation of a new soft-start cycle after the junction temperature cools by 40°C, resulting in a pulsed output during continuous thermal overload conditions. 3 Advanced Power Electronics Corp. APE8873 APPLICATION INFORMATION Capacitor Selection Normally, use a 2.2uF capacitor on the input and a 2.2uF capacitor on the output of the APE8873. In order to insure the circuit stability, the proper output capacitor value should be larger than 1uF. With X5R and X7R dielectrics, 2.2uF is sufficient at all operating temperatures. Thermal Considerations The APE8873 series can deliver a current of up to 500mA over the full operating junction temperature range. However, the maximum output current must be dated at higher ambient temperature to ensure the junction temperature does not exceed 125°C. With all possible conditions, the junction temperature must be within the range specified under operating conditions. Power dissipation can be calculated based on the output current and the voltage drop across regulator. PD = (VIN - VO) IO The final operating junction temperature for any set of conditions can be estimated by the following thermal equation: PD (MAX) = (TJ (MAX) - TA) / Rthja Where TJ (MAX) is the maximum junction temperature of the die (125° C) and TA is the maximum ambient temperature. The junction to ambient thermal resistance (Rthja) for SOP-8L package at recommended minimum footprint is 60°C/W. Visit our website in which “Recommended Footprints for Soldering Surface Mount Packages” for detail. PCB Layout 1. Please place the input capacitors close to the VIN 2. Ceramic capacitors for load must be placed near the load as close as possible 3. To place APE8873 and output capacitors near the load is good for performance. 4. Large current paths that VIN and Output lines must have wide tracks. 5. GND connect large copper area can reduced IC temperature. 4 ADVANCED POWER ELECTRONICS CORP.
