ACUTECH AQ533CY-M5-AJ-TR Ultra-low dropout 500ma voltage regulator Datasheet

AQ533
Ultra-Low Dropout
500mA Voltage Regulator
Product Specification
Revision 1.7
General Description
The AQ533 is an ultra-low dropout voltage
regulator capable of delivering 500 mA to the
load. It is adjustable and can set a precise
voltage from 1.22V to 12V with two external
resistors. The AQ533 meets all specifications
down to 1.22V output, unlike CMOS LDO’s which
loose performance with outputs below 2.25V.
The enable pin provides a remote turn-off for low
power consumption. It draws virtually zero current
in shutdown mode and implements Sequential,
Ratiometric,
or
Simultaneous
sequencing
schemes. This also allows for a separate bias
connection from the pass transistor in order to
achieve ultra low dropout from VIN to VOUT.
Reverse current protection blocks current
flowing from VOUT to VIN when the AQ533 is
disabled. No current flows.
To assure accuracy within 1.5% over
temperature, the heart of the AQ533 is a selfcorrecting AcuRef™ bandgap reference.
On-chip current limit and thermal shutdown with
hysteresis protects against any combination of
overload and ambient temperature that might
cause the junction temperature to exceed safe
limits.

Application Notes
1. Typical Application
Notes:
1. Output voltage is 1.22V * (R1 +R2)/R2
2. Input and output capacitors should be located close to the device.
3. The AQ533 will remain stable with C1 and C3 as low as 0.1 µF and 1.0 µF respectively.
Overall transient performance is improved with increased capacitance and the addition of C2.
4. The output is fully enabled when Enable is 950 mV above the expected VOUT. EN may
be driven by either a digital or analog signal to control either turn-on time or to give full
control of risetime.
5. Enable, tied to any separate source >0.95V + VOUT, will insure Ultra-low drop out voltage
(350mV@ 500mA) from VIN to VOUT. Or, Enable, tied to Vin will support a low drop out
voltage (0.95V).
2. Stability
An Enable capacitor is recommended. A 100nF capacitor is a suitable input bypass for
almost all applications. A larger capacitor is also suitable depending on the cleanliness of the
Enable source.
A Vin Capacitor is also recommended. A 1µF capacitor is a bypassing for almost all applications.
A larger capacitor is also suitable depending on the cleanliness of the VIN source.
The Output capacitor is critical in maintaining regular stability. The AQ533 is stable with an
output capacitor greater than 1µF. Any increase of the output capacitor will merely improve
the loop stability and the load transient response.
Tantalum Capacitors exhibit the best stability over a wide range of loads and are recommended.
3. Output Voltage
The AQ533 meets all specifications down to 1.22V output. It does not suffer from
performance degradation issues such as experienced with CMOS LDO’s. Drop out voltage
will be less than 350 mV at 500 mA load with the ENABLE pin held greater than 0.95V + Vout,
The AQ533 develops a 1.22V reference voltage between the adjust pin terminal and ground.
This voltage is applied across the resistor R2 to generate a constant current (I2). The current

from the adjust terminal could introduce error to the output, but since it is very small (<0.5µA)
compared with the current I2 and very constant with line and load changes, the error can be
ignored. The constant current I2 then flows through resistor R1 and sets the output voltage to
the desired level.
The AQ533 regulates the voltage that appears between its output and ground pins or
between its adjust and ground pins. In some cases, line resistances can introduce errors to
the voltage across the load. To obtain the best load regulation a few precautions are needed.
For example, it is important to minimize the line resistances to the load. So, the load itself
should be tied directly to the output terminal on the positive side and directly to the ground
terminal on the negative side.
The best performance is obtained with the positive side of the resistor R1 tied near the load
and with the ground side of the resistor R2 tied near the ground of the regulator. This will
provide remote output sensing which will optimize regulation at the load.
4. Enable/Sequencing
The AQ533 provides an enable function. The EN pin has to be at least 950 mV higher than
the output voltage for the device to be fully turned on. When the voltage of the EN pin is low
the device is in shutdown mode and it will not draw any current from the VIN terminal.

(1V/div vertical, 200us/div horizontal)
In addition the enable function includes a sequencing feature, because when the enable pin
ramps in voltage the output voltage follows (it will be around 900 mV less than the enable
voltage until it reaches the regulation voltage) as shown in Fig. 2 above.
In applications where multiple regulated supply rails are required, it is often required that the
relationship between the various supply voltages be controlled during start-up and shutdown.
To this end, the AQ533 allows for an analog control of the output voltage via the ENABLE pin.
This allows for sequential, ratio-metric and simultaneous sequencing schemes.
5. Reverse Current Protection

Rev. 1.7

The AQ533 provides Reverse Current Protection. When the AQ533 is turned off, no
current will flow from the output to input. A small current will flow from output to ground
through the Vout set resistors R1 and R2. The need for protection diodes is eliminated.
6. Thermal Considerations
When an integrated circuit operates with an appreciable current, its junction temperature is
elevated. It is important to quantify its thermal limits in order to achieve acceptable
performance and reliability. This limit is determined by summing the individual parts
consisting of a series of temperature rises from the semiconductor junction to the operating
environment. The heat generated at the device junction flows through the die to the die
attach pad, through the lead frame to the surrounding case material, to the printed circuit
board, and eventually to the ambient environment.
The AQ533 regulators have internal thermal shutdown to protect the device from overheating. Under all possible operating conditions, the junction temperature of the AQ533
must be lower than 125°C. A heatsink may be required depending on the maximum power
dissipation and maximum ambient temperature of the application.
To determine if a heatsink is needed, the power dissipated by the regulator, PD, must be
calculated:
PD= (VIN-VOUT) IL
where the IL is the load current.
The next parameter, which must be calculated, is the max. allowable temperature rise, T(max):
T(max)=TJ(max)-TA(max)
where TJ(max) is the maximum allowable junction temperature (125°C), and TA(max) is the
maximum ambient temperature, which will be encountered in the application.
Using the calculated values for T(max) and PD, the maximum allowable value for the
junction to ambient thermal resistance (θJA) can be calculated:
θJA=T(max)/ PD
If the maximum allowable value for θJA is found to be greater than the junction to ambient
thermal resistance for the package used, no heatsink is needed since the package alone will
dissipate enough heat to satisfy these requirements.
7. Ultra low Dropout Operation
The AQ533 allows for ultra low dropout operation by connecting the pin ENABLE to >0.95V + Vout.
This results in a dropout of 350 mV at 500 mA of load current, between Vin and VOUT.
This feature is important when the supply voltage is dropping near the output regulated voltage.
Furthermore if the voltage dropout is low, the internal power dissipation is also reduced and the
thermal requirements of the device are less stringent.
