APPLICATION
(Figure 1)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AQ120 is a linear LDO voltage regulator controller. It drives a discrete PNP transistor while
comparing the output to a 1.25V reference. The output voltage is programmable through an external
resistor divider. VOUT can be set to any value above 1.25 Volts. The collector of the external PNP
transistor provides the output current to the load. Vin range is 2.5V to 18V. The Maximum Load current
is Beta of the PNP times IDRIVE. IDRIVE range is 0.1 mA to 20 mA (max).
SETTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The AQ120 VREF pin is the input to an amplifier comparing to a precision 1.25V reference.
With VREF tied back to the output, it will drive the base of the external PNP to maintain output voltage
with changing load current and VCC. The regulated output voltage can be set by selecting the proper
ratio of R1 and R2.
The Output Voltage is set by:
Vout = VREF ∗

SELECTION OF PNP PASS DEVICE
In the application of (figure 1) above, an FMMT549 SOT223 package was used.
However, selection of the PNP pass device is based on Vin max, Iout max, and Power dissipation for
your particular application.
VIN max
BVCEO and BVCBO minimum rating of the PNP transistor must exceed the maximum Vin of the
application. The AQ120 will stand off 18V max. Therefore the maximum voltage the PNP will
experience is 18V.
Iout max
Beta of the PNP transistor will dictate the maximum output current as per the equation:
Iout max = Idrive max(20mA) ∗ BetaExt.PNP
Higher beta of the PNP will improve the Vout variation due to change in load (load reg.) Minimizing the
Idrive required will also minimize the Load reg. as Vout will decrease by .15% per mA of Idrive.
Therefore, delta 10mA of Idrive will cause a delta 1.5% of Vout.
Power dissipation
Selection of the external PNP package is based on size requirements and power dissipation. Consult
the transistor data sheet for power considerations.
