AP7175 3A ULTRA LOW DROPOUT LINEAR REGULATOR WITH ENABLE Description Pin Assignments The AP7175 is a 3.0A ultra low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator that features an enable input and a power-good output. The enable input and power-good output allow users to configure power management solutions that can meet the sequencing requirements of FPGAs, DSPs, and other applications with different NEW PRODUCT start-up and power-down requirements. The AP7175 features two supply inputs, for power conversion supply and control. With the separation of the control and the power input very low dropout voltages can be reached and power dissipation is reduced. A precision reference and feedback control deliver 1.5% accuracy over load, line, and operating temperature ranges. The AP7175 is available in SO-8EP and MSOP-8EP package with an exposed PAD to reduce the junction to case resistance and extend the temperature range it can be used in.

An internal delay timer is started after the PG voltage threshold (VTHPG) on the FB pin is reached. At the end of the delay time an internal NMOS of the PG is turned off to indicate that the power at the output is good (PG). This monitoring function is continued during operation and if VFB falls 8% (typ) below VTHPG, the NMOS of the PG is turned on after a delay time of typical 10µs to avoid oscillating of the PG signal. NEW PRODUCT Power On Reset AP7175 monitors both supply voltages, VCNTL and VIN to ensure operation as intended. A Soft-Start process is initiated after both voltages exceed their POR threshold during power on. During operation the POR component continues to monitor the supply voltage and pulls the PG low to indicate an out of regulation supply. This function will engage without regard to the status of the output. Soft-Start AP7175 incorporates an internal Soft-Start function. The output voltage rise is controlled to limit the current surge during start-up. The typical Soft-Start time is 0.6ms. Current-Limit Protection AP7175 monitors the current flow through the NMOS and limits the maximum current to avoid damage to the load and AP7175 during overload conditions. Short Circuit Current-Limit Protection AP7175 incorporates a current limit function to reduce the maximum current to 1.1A (typ) when the voltage at FB falls below 0.2V (typ) during an overload or short circuit situation. During start-up period, this function is disabled to ensure successful heavy load start-up. Enable Control If the enable pin (EN) is left open, an internal current source of ~5µA pulls the pin up and enables the AP7175. This will reduce the bill of material saving an external pull up resistor. Driving the enable pin low disables the device. Driving the pin high subsequently initiates a new Soft-Start cycle. Output Voltage Regulation Output Voltage is set by resistor divider from VOUT via FB pin to GND. Internally VFB is compared to a 0.8V temperature compensated reference voltage and the NMOS pass element regulates the output voltage while delivering current from VIN to VOUT. Setting the Output Voltage A resistor divider connected to FB pin programs the output voltage. R1 ⎞ ⎛ ⎟V V OUT = VREF * ⎜1 + R2 ⎠ ⎝ R1 is connected from VOUT to FB with Kelvin sensing connection. R2 is connected from FB to GND. To improve load transient response and stability, a bypass capacitor can be connected in parallel with R1. (optional in typical application circuit) Power Sequencing AP7175 requires no specific sequencing between VIN and VCNTL. However, care should be taken to avoid forcing VOUT for prolonged times without the presence of VIN. Conduction through internal parasitic diode (from VOUT to VIN) could damage AP7175. Thermal Shutdown The PCB layout and power requirements for AP7175 under normal operation condition should allow enough cooling to restrict the junction temperature to +125°C. The packages for AP7175 have an exposed PAD to support this. These packages provide better connection to the PCB and thermal performance. Refer to the layout considerations. If AP7175 junction temperature reaches +170°C a thermal protection block disables the NMOS pass element and lets the part cool down. After its junction temperature drops by 50°C (typ), a new Soft-Start cycle will be initiated. A new thermal protection will start, if the load or ambient conditions continue to raise the junction temperature to +170°C. This cycle will repeat until normal operation temperature is maintained again. AP7175 Document number: DS35606 Rev. 3 - 2 9 of 14 www.diodes.com December 2012 © Diodes Incorporated AP7175 Application Information (cont.) Output Capacitor An output capacitor (COUT) is needed to improve transient response and maintain stability. The ESR (equivalent series resistance) and capacitance drives the selection. Care needs to be taken to cover the entire operating temperature range. The output capacitor can be an Ultra-Low-ESR ceramic chip capacitor or a low ESR bulk capacitor like a solid tantalum, POSCap or aluminum NEW PRODUCT electrolytic capacitor. COUT is used to improve the output stability and reduces the changes of the output voltage during load transitions. The slew rate of the current sensed via the FB pin in AP7175 is reduced. If the application has large load variations, it is recommended to utilize low-ESR bulk capacitors. It is recommended to place ceramic capacitors as close as possible to the load and the ground pin and care should be taken to reduce the impedance in the layout. Input Capacitor To prevent the input voltage from dropping during load steps it is recommended to utilize an input capacitor (CIN). As with the output capacitor the following are acceptable, Ultra-Low-ESR ceramic chip capacitor or low ESR bulk capacitor like a solid tantalum, POSCap or aluminum electrolytic capacitor. Typically it is recommended to utilize an capacitance of at least 10µF to avoid output voltage drop due to reduced input voltage. The value can be lower if VIN changes are not critical for the application. Layout Considerations For good ground loop and stability, the input and output capacitors should be located close to the input, output, and ground pins of the device. No other application circuit is connected within the loop. Avoid using vias within ground loop. If vias must be used, multiple vias should be used to reduce via inductance. The regulator ground pin should be connected to the external circuit ground to reduce voltage drop caused by trace impedance. Ground plane is generally used to reduce trace impedance. Wide trace should be used for large current paths from VIN to VOUT, and load circuit. Place the R1, R2, and C1(optional) near the LDO as close as possible to avoid noise coupling. R2 is placed close to device ground. Connect the ground of the R2 to the GND pin by using a dedicated trace. Connect the pin of the R1 directly to the load for Kelvin sensing. No high current should flow through the ground trace of feedback loop and affect reference voltage stability. For the packages with exposed pads, heat sinking is accomplished using the heat spreading capability of the PCB and its copper traces. Suitable PCB area on the top layer and thermal vias(0.3mm drill size with 1mm spacing, 4~8 vias at least) to the Vin power plane can help to reduce device temperature greatly.
