Note 2: Dropout voltage is defined as the minimum differential voltage between Vin and Vout required to maintain regulation at Vout. It is measured when the output voltage drops 1% below its nominal value. 2 MIN TYP 3.267 3.300 3.234 3.300 1.1 MAX 3.333 3.366 0.2 0.4 1.3 5 10 % % V A mA 0.01 0.02 %/W 1.6 60 70 0.2 0.5 0.3 0.003 5 1 UNITS V dB µA % % %Vo Note 3: Minimum load current is defined as the minimum current required at the output in order for the output voltage to maintain regulation.

Rev. 1.1 06/29/01 IRU1015-33 PIN DESCRIPTIONS PIN # PIN SYMBOL PIN DESCRIPTION 1 Gnd This pin must be connected to ground plane using a low inductance short connection. 2 Vout The output of the regulator. A minimum of 10µF capacitor must be connected from this pin to ground to insure stability. 3 Vin The input pin of the regulator. Typically a large storage capacitor is connected from this pin to ground to insure that the input voltage does not sag below the minimum drop out voltage during the load transient response. This pin must always be 1.3V higher than Vout in order for the device to regulate properly.

Typical designs for microprocessor applications use standard electrolytic capacitors with a typical ESR in the range of 50 to 100mΩ and an output capacitance of 500 to 1000µF. Fortunately as the capacitance increases, the ESR decreases resulting in a fixed RC time constant. The IRU1015-33 takes advantage of this phenomena in making the overall regulator loop stable. For most applications a minimum of 100µF aluminum electrolytic capacitor such as Sanyo MVGX series, Panasonic FA series as well as the Nichicon PL series insures both stability and good transient response.
