The amount of the capacitance may be increased without limit. A lower ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) capacitor allows the use of less capacitance, while higher ESR type requires more capacitance. This input capacitor should be located as close as possible to the device to assure input stability and less noise. For PCB layout, a wide copper trace is required for both IN and GND. VIN VOUT IN CIN OUT 100kOhm POK COUT R1 AP7168 FB R2 Enable EN GND Output Capacitor The output capacitor is required to stabilize and help the transient response of the LDO. The AP7168 is designed to have excellent transient response for most applications with a small amount of output capacitance. The AP7168 is stable for all available types and values of output capacitors ≥ 4.7μF. The device is also stable with multiple capacitors in parallel, which can be of any type of value. Additional capacitance helps to reduce undershoot and overshoot during transient. This capacitor should be placed as close as possible to OUT and GND pins for optimum performance. The output voltage is calculated by: ⎛ R ⎞ VOUT = VREF ⎜⎜1 + 1 ⎟⎟ R2 ⎠ ⎝ Where VREF=0.8V (the internal reference voltage) Rearranging the equation will give the following equation to find the approximate resistor divider values: ⎞ ⎛V R1 = R 2 ⎜⎜ OUT − 1⎟⎟ ⎠ ⎝ VREF Adjustable Operation The AP7168 provides output voltage from 0.8V to 5.0V through external resistor divider as shown below. AP7168 Document number: DS32019 Rev. 2 - 2 To maintain the stability of the internal reference voltage, R2 needs to be kept smaller than 250kΩ. 7 of 11 www.diodes.com September 2010 © Diodes Incorporated AP7168 1.2A LOW DROPOUT REGULATOR WITH POK NEW PRODUCT Application Note (Continued) No Load Stability Wide Output Range Other than external resistor divider, no minimum load is required to keep the device stable. The device will remain stable and regulated in no load condition. The AP7168, with a wide output range of 0.8V to 5.0V, provides a versatile solution for many portable and low power applications. ENABLE/SHUTDOWN Operation Thermal Shutdown Protection The AP7168 is turned on by setting the EN pin high, and is turned off by pulling it low. If this feature is not used, the EN pin should be tied to IN pin to keep the regulator output on at all time. To ensure proper operation, the signal source used to drive the EN pin must be able to swing above and below the specified turn-on/off voltage thresholds listed in the Electrical Characteristics section under VIL and VIH. Thermal protection disables the output when the junction temperature rises to approximately +145°C, allowing the device to cool down. When the junction temperature reduces to approximately +120°C the output circuitry is enabled again. Depending on power dissipation, thermal resistance, and ambient temperature, the thermal protection circuit may cycle on and off. This cycling limits the heat dissipation of the regulator, protecting it from damage due to overheating. POWER-OK The Power-Ok (POK) pin is an active high open-drain output. It can be connected to any 5.5V or lower rail through an external pull-up resistor. The recommended sink current of POK pin is up to 4mA, so the pull-up resistor for POK should be in the range of 10kΩ to 1MΩ. If output voltage monitoring is not needed, the POK pin can be left floating. Power Dissipation The device power dissipation and proper sizing of the thermal plane that is connected to the thermal pad is critical to avoid thermal shutdown and ensuring reliable operation. Power dissipation of the device depends on input voltage and load conditions and can be calculated by: PD = ( VIN − VOUT )xIOUT Current Limit Protection When output current at OUT pin is higher than current limit threshold, the current limit protection will be triggered and clamp the output current to approximately 1.6A (1.2A min) to prevent over-current and to protect the regulator from damage due to overheating. Short Circuit Protection When OUT pin is short-circuited to GND or OUT pin voltage is less than 200mV, short circuit protection will be triggered and clamp the output current to approximately 750mA. This feature protects the regulator from overcurrent and damage due to overheating. The AP7168 is available in the SO-8EP packages, both with exposed pad, which is the primary conduction path for heat to the printed circuit board (PCB). The pad can be connected to ground or be left floating; however, to ensure the device will not overheat, it should be attached to an appropriate amount of copper PCB area. However, the maximum power dissipation that can be handled by the device depends on the maximum junction to ambient thermal resistance, maximum ambient temperature, and maximum device junction temperature, which can be approximated by the equation below: Low Quiescent Current The AP7168, consuming only around 150µA for all input range and output loading, provides great power saving in portable and low power applications.
