Note2:When Iout varies between 0~3A,Vin-Vout varies between 1.5V~6V under constant junction temperature, the parameter is satisfied the criterion in table. If temperature varies between -50℃≤TA≤140℃，it needs output current to be larger than 10mA to satisfy the criterion. Note3:Dropout Voltage is tested under Iout=3A and the following testing conditions: First step is to find out the Vout value(Vout1) when Vin1=Vout+1.5V, second step is to decrease Vin(Vin2) until Vout value is equal to 99%*Vout1(Vout2). Vdropout=Vin2-Vout2. Note4:Minimum Load Current is defined as the minimum output current required to maintain regulation. When 1.5V≦Vin-Vout≦6V，the device is guaranteed to regulate if the output current is greater than 10mA. Detailed Description ACE1085 is a series of low dropout voltage, three terminal regulators. Its application circuit is very simple: the fixed version only needs two capacitors and the adjustable version only needs two resistors and two capacitors to work. It is composed of some modules including start-up circuit, bias circuit, bandgap, thermal shutdown, current limit, power transistors and its driver circuit and so on. The thermal shut down and current limit modules can assure chip and its application system working safety when the environment temperature is larger than 140℃ or output current is larger than 3.2A. The bandgap module provides stable reference voltage, whose temperature coefficient is compensated by careful design considerations. The temperature coefficient is under 100ppm/℃.And the accuracy of output voltage is guaranteed by trimming technique. Typical Application Circuit ACE1085 has an adjustable version and fixed versions, Chart 1 is its typical application. Vin ACE1085 Vin Vout Vout ADJ R1 125 ohm 10uF Tan 22uF Tan R2 Vout=Vref * (1+R2/R1)+Iadj * R2 VER 1.2 4 ACE1085 Technology 3A Low Dropout Linear Regulator ACE1085 Typical application of ACE1085 Application Hints 1. Recommend using 10uF tan capacitor as bypass capacitor for all application circuit. 2. Recommend using 22uF tan capacitor to assure circuit stability. 3. Using a bypass capacitor(CAdj) between the adjust terminal and ground can improve ripple rejection, This bypass capacitor prevents ripple from being amplified as the output voltage is increased. The impedance of CAdj should be less than the resistor’s(R1) which is between output and adjust pins to prevent ripple from being amplified at any ripple frequency. As R1 is normally in the range of 120Ω~200Ω,the value of CAdj should satisfy this equation: 2*Fripple*CAdj<R1. Recommend using 10uF tan capacitor. Output Voltage of Adjustable Version The ACE1085 adjustable version provide 1.25V Reference Voltage. Any output voltage between 1.25V~13.8V can be available by choosing two external resistors (connection method is shown in chart 1). In chart 1, R1,R2 is the two external resistors. Explanation The output voltage of adjustable version satisfies this followed equation: Vout=VRef*(1+R2/R1)+IAdj*R2. We can ignore IAdj because IAdj(about 50uA) is much less than the current of R1(about 4mA). How to choose R1：The value of R1 should be in the range of 120Ω～200Ω to assure chip working normally without any load. To assure the electrical performance showed in table 1, the output current should be larger than 5mA. If R1 is too large, the minimum output current should be larger than 4mA , The best working condition is to assure that the output current exceeds 10mA.
