Advanced Power Electronics Corp. APE8977MP 2.5A LINEAR REGULATOR DESCRIPTIOON FEATURES The APE8977MP is a simple, cost-effective and high-speed linear regulator. The regulator is capable of actively sinking or sourcing up to 2.5A while regulating an output voltage to within 40mV. The desired output voltage can be programmed by two external voltage divider resistors of the REFEN pin. The APE8977MP also incorporates a high-speed differential amplifier to provide ultra-fast response in line/load transient. Other features include extremely low initial offset voltage, excellent load regulation, current limiting in bi-directions and on-chip thermal shut-down protection. Built-in soft-start function avoids a misoperation by inrush current. The APE8977MP are available in the ESOP-8 (Exposed Pad) surface mount packages. Sink and Source up to 2.5Amp Integrated Power MOSFETs High Accuracy Output Voltage at Full-Load Output Adjustment by Two External Resistors Built-in Soft-start Function Current Limiting Protection On-Chip Thermal Protection Available in ESOP-8 (Exposed Pad) Packages VIN and VCNTL Under Voltage Protection RoHS Compliant and 100% Lead (Pb)-Free Halogen Free Product APPLICATION Desktop PCs, Notebooks, and Workstations Graphics Card Memory Termination Set Top Boxes, Digital TVs, Printers Embedded Systems Active Termination Buses TYPICAL APPLICATION VCNTL VIN VIN CIN VCNTL R1 CCNTL APE8977MP RTT VOUT REFEN VOUT Shutdown R2 CSS GND COUT RDUMMY Enable R1 = R 2 = 100 K Ω , RTT = 50Ω / 33 Ω / 25 Ω COUT = 10 uF ( + 100 uF under the worst case testing condition ) CSS = 1 uF , CIN = 470 uF (Low ESR ) , CCNTL = 47 uF Data and specifications subject to change without notice 1 20130104V1.1 Advanced Power Electronics Corp.

APE8977MP APPLICATION INFORMATION Input Capacitor and Layout Consideration Place the input bypass capacitor as close as possible to the APE8977MP. A low ESR capacitor larger than 470uF is recommended for the input capacitor. Use short and wide traces to minimize parasitic resistance and inductance. Inappropriate layout may result in large parasitic inductance and cause undesired oscillation between APE8977MP and the preceding powe converter. Consideration while designs the resistance of voltage divider Make sure the sinking current capability of pull-down NMOS if the lower resistance was chosen so that the voltage on VREFEN is below 0.15V. In addition, the capacitor and voltage divider form the lowpass filter. There are two reasons doing this design; one is for output voltage softstart while another is for noise immunity. Thermal Consideration APE8977MP regulators have internal thermal limiting circuitry designed to protect the device during overload conditions.For continued operation, do not exceed maximum operation junction temperature 125 oC. The power dissipation definition in device is: P D = (VIN - VOUT) x IOUT + VIN x IQ The maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of IC package, PCB layout, the rate of surroundings airflow and temperature difference between junction to ambient. The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by following formula: P D(MAX) = ( TJ(MAX) -TA ) / Rthja Where TJ(MAX) is the maximum operation junction temperature 125oC, TA is the ambient temperature and the Rthja is the junction to ambient thermal resistance. The junction to ambient thermal resistance (Rthja is layout dependent) for ESOP-8 package (Exposed Pad) is 75oC/W on standard JEDEC 51-7 (4 layers, 2S2P) thermal test board. The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25oC can be calculated by following formula: P D(MAX) = (125oC - 25oC) / 75oC/W = 1.33W The thermal resistance Rthja of ESOP-8 (Exposed Pad) is determined by the package design and the PCB design. However, the package design has been decided. If possible, it's useful to increase thermal performance by the PCB design. The thermal resistance can be decreased by adding copper under the expose pad of ESOP-8 package. We have to consider the copper couldn't stretch infinitely and avoid the tin overflow. 4 Advanced Power Electronics Corp.
