al
id
The AS1376 is a Dual Supply Rail Linear Regulator designed to
deliver 1A of load current while consuming only 67µA (typ) of ground
current. In the typical post regulation application VBIAS is directly
connected to the main input supply, (range 2.5V...5.5V) and VIN is
supplied by the output voltage of a host DC-DC Converter (range
0.7V...4.5V).
2 Key Features
lv
1 General Description
In shutdown, a 100 (typ) discharge path is connected between
output and ground to provide rapid discharge of the overall load
capacitance connected to the AS1376 output terminal. Autodischarge minimizes the possibility that VOUT > VIN during
shutdown. When VOUT > VIN, reverse current flows through the
inherent body diode of the N-channel series pass transistor.
The AS1376 also features internal protection against overtemperature, over-current and under-voltage conditions.
The device is available in an 8-pin 2x2 TDFN package and is
qualified for operation over the -40ºC to +85ºC temperature range.
The device is available in fixed output voltages from 0.5V up to 2.2V
in 100mV steps (50mV from 0.5V to 1.1V). See Ordering Information
on page 18.
Minimal external components required
Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C
8-pin 2x2mm TDFN Package
2 weeks availability for non-standard devices between 0.5V and
1.1V in 50mV steps and between 1.1V and 2.2V in 100mV
steps.
3 Applications
The devices are ideal for powering cordless and mobile phones,
MP3 players, CD and DVD players, PDAs, hand-held computers,
digital cameras and any other hand-held and/or battery-powered
device.

8 Detailed Description
The AS1376 is a low-dropout, low-quiescent-current linear regulator intended for LDO regulator applications where output current load
requirements range from no load to 1A. All devices come with fixed output voltage from 0.5V to 3.3V. (see Ordering Information on page 18).
Shutdown current for the whole regulator is typically 20nA. The device has integrated short-circuit and over current protection. Under-Voltage
lockout prevents erratic operation when the input voltage is slowly decaying (e.g. in a battery powered application). Thermal Protection shuts
down the device when die temperature reaches 150°C. This is a useful protection when the device is under sustained short circuit conditions.
al
id
As illustrated in Figure 17, the devices comprise voltage reference, error amplifier, N-channel MOSFET pass transistor, internal voltage divider,
current limiter, thermal sensor and shutdown logic.
lv
The bandgap reference is connected to the inverting input of the error amplifier. The error amplifier compares this reference with the feedback
voltage and amplifies the difference. If the feedback voltage is lower than the reference voltage, the N-channel MOSFET gate is pulled higher,
allowing more current to pass to the output, and increases the output voltage. If the feedback voltage is too high, the pass-transistor gate is
pulled down, allowing less current to pass to the output.
When the adjustable output variant is selected, an external resistor voltage divider is connected to FB pin and a sample of the output is
compared to the 500mV reference.

lc s
on A
te G
nt
st
il
When a fixed output variant is chosen, FB must be connected to the Output pin. Depending upon the variant chosen, the internal reference is
trimmed to the final output voltage. See Electrical Characteristics (page 4) for final voltages and tolerances.

8.1 Output Voltages
Standard products are factory-set with output voltages from 0.5V to 2.2V. A two-digit suffix of the part number identifies the nominal output (see
Ordering Information on page 18). Non-standard devices are available.

8.2 Advantages of Dual Supply Architecture vs Traditional Single Supply Approach
al
id
Compared to the traditional single supply approach, employing a P-channel series pass MOSFET, the dual rail architecture ensures improved
performances in a LDO when operating at very low input voltages below the threshold of the internal series power N-channel MOSFET. The
extra supply voltage at VBIAS (VBIAS > VIN) ensures that the N-channel MOSFET always operates above its threshold voltage.
Figure 18 shows simplified block diagrams of single supply P-channel LDO and dual rail N-channel series pass architectures.

The P-channel LDO uses a PMOS output transistor connected in a common source configuration. During regulation, the P-channel gate-source
voltage moves between VIN and GND as the load demands. The dual supply approach is based on an N-channel output transistor in common
drain configuration where the source is connected to the regulated output. During regulation, the N-channel gate source voltage increases from
VOUT to VBIAS as the load demands. As the drain voltage is not shared with the remaining blocks of the circuit, its value can be chosen
independently. The N-channel source follower design allows improved efficiency and dropout at low input voltages and provides faster load
transient response.

9 Application Information
9.1 Dropout Voltage
Dropout is the input to output voltage difference, below which the linear regulator ceases to regulate. At this point, the output voltage change
follows the input voltage change. Dropout voltage may be measured at different currents and, in particular at the regulator maximum one. From
this is obtained the MOSFET maximum series resistance over temperature etc. More generally:
V DROPOUT = I LOAD  R SERIES
al
id
(EQ 1)
Dropout is probably the most important specification when the regulator is used in a battery application. The dropout performance of the
regulator defines the useful “end of life” of the battery before replacement or re-charge is required.

ca
Figure 19 shows the variation of VOUT as VIN is varied for a certain load current. The practical value of dropout is the differential voltage (VOUTVIN) measured at the point where the LDO output voltage has fallen by 100mV below the nominal, fully regulated output value. The nominal
regulated output voltage of the LDO is that obtained when there is 500mV (or greater) input-output voltage differential.
9.2 Auto-Discharge
ni
AS1376 features an auto-discharge function that discharges the load capacitance through a 100 (typ) path to ground when the device is
placed in shutdown. This helps to minimizes the possibility that VOUT > VIN during shutdown caused by differing capacitance discharge rates at
VIN and VOUT terminals.
ch
When VOUT > VIN, reverse current flows through the inherent body diode of the N-channel series pass transistor. This current should be limited
to 50mA or less. If this is not possible, then an external Schottky diode should be connected between VOUT (anode) and VIN (cathode) to
bypass the discharge current around the AS1376.
Te
9.3 Efficiency
Low quiescent current and low input-output voltage differential are important in battery applications amongst others, as the regulator efficiency is
directly related to quiescent current and dropout voltage. Efficiency is given by:

9.4 Power Dissipation
Maximum power dissipation (PD) of the LDO is the sum of the power dissipated by the internal series MOSFET and the quiescent current
required to bias the internal voltage reference and the internal error amplifier, and is calculated as:
PD  MAX   Seriespass  = I LOAD  MAX   V IN  MAX  – V OUT  MIN   Watts
(EQ 3)
Internal power dissipation as a result of the bias current for the internal voltage reference and the error amplifier is calculated as:
PD  MAX   Bias  = V IN  MAX  I Q Watts
al
id
(EQ 4)
Total LDO power dissipation is calculated as:
PD  MAX   Total  = PD  MAX   Seriespass  + PD  MAX   Bias  Watts
(EQ 5)
9.5 Junction Temperature
lv
Under all operating conditions, the maximum junction temperature should not be allowed to exceed 125ºC (unless the data sheet specifically
allows). Limiting the maximum junction temperature requires knowledge of the heat path from junction to case (JCºC/W fixed by the IC
manufacturer), and adjustment of the case to ambient heat path (CAºC/W) by manipulation of the PCB copper area adjacent to the IC position.

Setting Accuracy
(EQ 11)
ca
Accuracy of the final output voltage is determined by the accuracy of the ratio of R1 and R2, the reference accuracy and the input offset voltage
of the error amplifier. When the regulator is supplied pre-trimmed, the output voltage accuracy is fully defined in the output voltage specification.
When the regulator has a SET terminal, the output voltage may be adjusted externally. In this case, the tolerance of the external resistor network
must be incorporated into the final accuracy calculation. Generally:

Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)
V OUT
V IN
PSSR = 20Log ---------------- dB using lower case  to indicate AC values
(EQ 14)
Power supply rejection ratio is fixed by the internal design of the regulator. Additional rejection must be provided externally.
9.7.2
al
id
Known also as Ripple Rejection, this specification measures the ability of the regulator to reject noise and ripple beyond DC. PSRR is a
summation of the individual rejections of the error amplifier, reference and AC leakage through the series pass transistor. The specification, in
the form of a typical attenuation plot with respect to frequency, shows up the gain bandwidth compromises forced upon the designer in low
quiescent current conditions. Generally:
Output Capacitor ESR
lv
The series regulator is a negative feedback amplifier, and as such is conditionally stable. The ESR of the output capacitor is usually used to
cancel one of the open loop poles of the error amplifier in order to produce a single pole response. Excessive ESR values may actually cause
instability by excessive changes to the closed loop unity gain frequency crossover point. The range of ESR values for stability is usually shown
either by a plot of stable ESR versus load current, or a limit statement in the datasheet.

te G
nt
st
il
Some ceramic capacitors exhibit large capacitance and ESR variations with temperature and DC bias. Z5U and Y5V capacitors may be required
to ensure stability at temperatures below TAMB = -10ºC. With X7R or X5R capacitors, a 1µF capacitor should be sufficient at all operating
temperatures.
Larger output capacitor values (10µF max) help to reduce noise and improve load transient-response, stability and power-supply rejection.
9.7.3
Input Capacitor
If the AS1376 is used stand alone, an input capacitor at VIN is required for stability. It is recommended that a 1.0µF capacitor be connected
between the AS1376 power supply input pin VIN and ground (capacitance value may be increased without limit).
This capacitor must be located at a distance of not more than 1cm from the VIN pin and returned to a clean analog ground. Any good quality
ceramic, tantalum, or film capacitor may be used at the input.
A capacitor at VBIAS is not required if the distance to the supply does not exceed 5cm.
If the AS1376 device is used in the typical application as post regulator after a DC-DC regulator, no input capacitors are required at all as the
capacitors of the DC-DC regulator (CIN and COUT) are sufficient if both components are mounted close to each other and a proper GND plane
is used. If the distance between the output capacitor of the DC-DC regulator and the VIN pin of the AS1376 is larger than 5cm, a capacitor at VIN
is recommended.
9.7.4
Noise
9.7.5
ca
The regulator output is a DC voltage with noise superimposed on the output. The noise comes from three sources; the reference, the error
amplifier input stage, and the output voltage setting resistors. Noise is a random fluctuation and if not minimized in some applications, will
produce system problems.
Transient Response
ni
The series regulator is a negative feedback system, and therefore any change at the output will take a finite time to be corrected by the error
loop. This “propagation time” is related to the bandwidth of the error loop. The initial response to an output transient comes from the output
capacitance, and during this time, ESR is the dominant mechanism causing voltage transients at the output. More generally:
ch
V TRANSIENT = I OUTPUT  R ESR
Units are Volts, Amps, Ohms.
(EQ 15)
Thus an initial +50mA change of output current will produce a -12mV transient when the ESR=240m. Remember to keep the ESR within
stability recommendations when reducing ESR by adding multiple parallel output capacitors.
Te
After the initial ESR transient, there follows a voltage droop during the time that the LDO feedback loop takes to respond to the output change.
This drift is approx. linear in time and sums with the ESR contribution to make a total transient variation at the output of:
T
V TRANSIENT = I OUTPUT   R ESR + ----------------

C LOAD
Units are Volts, Seconds, Farads, Ohms.

CLOAD is output capacitor
T = Propagation delay of the LDO

Revision 1.4

AS1376
Datasheet
This shows why it is convenient to increase the output capacitor value for a better support for fast load changes. Of course the formula holds for
t < “propagation time”, so that a faster LDO needs a smaller cap at the load to achieve a similar transient response. For instance 50mA load
current step produces 50mV output drop if the LDO response is 1usec and the load cap is 1µF.
There is also a steady state error caused by the finite output impedance of the regulator. This is derived from the load regulation specification
discussed above.
9.7.6
Exit from Shutdown Delay
9.7.7
al
id
This specification defines the time taken for the LDO to awake from shutdown. The time is measured from the release of the enable pin to the
time that the output voltage is within 5% of the final value. It assumes that the voltage at VIN is stable and within the regulator min and max limits.
Shutdown reduces the quiescent current to very low, mostly leakage values (<1µA).

9.7.8
lv
To prevent operation under extreme fault conditions, such as a permanent short circuit at the output, thermal protection is built into the device.
Die temperature is measured, and when a 150ºC threshold is reached, the device enters shutdown. When the die cools sufficiently, the device
will restart (assuming input voltage exists and the device is enabled). Hysteresis of 25ºC prevents low frequency oscillation between start-up and
shutdown around the temperature threshold.
The AS1376 requires two different supply voltages active at the same time for correct operation. They are as given below.
1. VIN, the power input voltage, that is regulated to provide the fixed output voltage.
2. VBIAS, the bias input voltage, supplies internal circuitry.
It's important that VIN does not exceed VBIAS at any time. If the device is used in the typical post regulation application as shown in Figure 1, the
sequencing of the two power supplies is not an issue as VBIAS supplies both, the DC-DC regulator and the AS1376. The output voltage of the
DC-DC regulator will take some time to rise up and supply VIN of AS1376. In this application VIN will always ramp up more slowly than VBIAS. In
case VIN is shorted to VBIAS, the voltages at the two supply pins will ramp up simultaneously causing no problem. Only in applications with two
independent supplies connected to the AS1376 special care must be taken to guarantee that VIN is always = VBIAS.
9.7.9
Auto-Discharge
When the AS1376 is placed in shutdown, a 100 path to ground is connected at the output. This path speeds up the discharge of the
capacitor(s) connected to the regulator output. Assuming that VIN remains constant and always >VOUT, output discharge time is calculated from
the following relationship:
V  t  = V REG e
t
– -------RC
(EQ 17)
ca
Where:
t = specified time after regulator shutdown (sec)
VREG = Regulated output voltage (initial condition)
R = 100 (typ) discharge resistance
C = Output capacitance (Farad)
Te
ch
ni
In other words, the output discharge will reach 90% below the regulated output voltage in 2.2RC seconds; R and C defined as above.
