Other features include low quiescent current, typically 95µA, and low dropout voltage which is typically less than 140mV at full output current. The
device is output short-circuit protected and has a
thermal shutdown circuit for additional protection
under extreme conditions.
The AAT3215 also features a low-power shutdown
mode for extended battery life. A reference bypass
pin has been provided to improve PSRR performance and output noise by connecting an external
capacitor from the AAT3215's reference output to
ground.
The AAT3215 is available in a Pb-free, space-saving
5-pin SOT23 or 8-pin SC70JW package in ten factory-programmed voltages: 2.5V, 2.6V, 2.7V, 2.8V,
2.85V, 2.9V, 3.0V, 3.1V, 3.3V, or 3.6V.

Functional Description
The AAT3215 is intended for LDO regulator applications where output current load requirements
range from no load to 150mA.
The advanced circuit design of the AAT3215 provides excellent input-to-output isolation, which
allows for good power supply ripple rejection characteristics. To optimize for very low output self
noise performance, a bypass capacitor pin has
been provided to decrease noise generated by the
internal voltage reference. This bypass capacitor
will also enhance PSRR behavior. The two combined characteristics of low noise and high PSRR
make the AAT3215 a truly high performance LDO
regulator especially well suited for circuit applications which are sensitive to their power source.
8
The LDO regulator output has been specifically
optimized to function with low-cost, low-ESR
ceramic capacitors. However, the design will allow
for operation over a wide range of capacitor types.
The device enable circuit is provided to shut down the
LDO regulator for power conservation in portable
products. The enable circuit has an additional output
capacitor discharge circuit to assure sharp application circuit turn-off upon device shutdown.
This LDO regulator has complete short-circuit and
thermal protection. The integral combination of
these two internal protection circuits gives the
AAT3215 a comprehensive safety system during
extreme adverse operating conditions. Device
power dissipation is limited to the package type
and thermal dissipation properties. Refer to the
Thermal Considerations section of this datasheet
for details on device operation at maximum output
current loads.

Applications Information
greater for COUT. If desired, COUT may be increased
without limit.
To assure the maximum possible performance is
obtained from the AAT3215, please refer to the following application recommendations.
In low output current applications where output
load is less than 10mA, the minimum value for
COUT can be as low as 0.47µF.
Input Capacitor
Bypass Capacitor and Low Noise
Applications
Typically, a 1µF or larger capacitor is recommended for CIN in most applications. A CIN capacitor is
not required for basic LDO regulator operation.
However, if the AAT3215 is physically located more
than three centimeters from an input power source,
a CIN capacitor will be needed for stable operation.
CIN should be located as closely to the device VIN
pin as practically possible. CIN values greater than
1µF will offer superior input line transient response
and will assist in maximizing the highest possible
power supply ripple rejection.
Ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic capacitors may be selected for CIN. There is no specific
capacitor ESR requirement for CIN. However, for
150mA LDO regulator output operation, ceramic
capacitors are recommended for CIN due to their
inherent capability over tantalum capacitors to withstand input current surges from low impedance
sources such as batteries in portable devices.
Output Capacitor
For proper load voltage regulation and operational
stability, a capacitor is required between pins VOUT
and GND. The COUT capacitor connection to
the LDO regulator ground pin should be made as
direct as practically possible for maximum device
performance.
The AAT3215 has been specifically designed to
function with very low ESR ceramic capacitors.
Although the device is intended to operate with
these low ESR capacitors, it is stable over a very
wide range of capacitor ESR, thus it will also work
with higher ESR tantalum or aluminum electrolytic
capacitors.
However, for best performance,
ceramic capacitors are recommended.
Typical output capacitor values for maximum output
current conditions range from 1µF to 10µF.
Applications utilizing the exceptionally low output
noise and optimum power supply ripple rejection
characteristics of the AAT3215 should use 2.2µF or
3215.2006.05.1.6
A bypass capacitor pin is provided to enhance the
very low noise characteristics of the AAT3215 LDO
regulator. The bypass capacitor is not necessary
for operation of the AAT3215. However, for best
device performance, a small ceramic capacitor
should be placed between the bypass pin (BYP)
and the device ground pin (GND). The value of
CBYP may range from 470pF to 10nF. For lowest
noise and best possible power supply ripple rejection performance, a 10nF capacitor should be
used. To practically realize the highest power supply ripple rejection and lowest output noise performance, it is critical that the capacitor connection
between the BYP pin and GND pin be direct and
PCB traces should be as short as possible. Refer
to the PCB Layout Recommendations section of
this document for examples.
There is a relationship between the bypass capacitor value and the LDO regulator turn-on time. In
applications where fast device turn-on time is
desired, the value of CBYP should be reduced.
In applications where low noise performance and/
or ripple rejection are less of a concern, the bypass
capacitor may be omitted. The fastest device turnon time will be realized when no bypass capacitor
is used.
DC leakage on this pin can affect the LDO regulator output noise and voltage regulation performance. For this reason, the use of a low leakage,
high quality ceramic (NPO or C0G type) or film
capacitor is highly recommended.
Capacitor Characteristics
Ceramic composition capacitors are highly recommended over all other types of capacitors for use
with the AAT3215. Ceramic capacitors offer many
advantages over their tantalum and aluminum electrolytic counterparts. A ceramic capacitor typically
has very low ESR, is lower cost, has a smaller PCB
9
AAT3215
150mA CMOS High Performance LDO
footprint, and is non-polarized. Line and load transient response of the LDO regulator is improved by
using low ESR ceramic capacitors. Since ceramic
capacitors are non-polarized, they are not prone to
incorrect connection damage.
Equivalent Series Resistance: ESR is a very
important characteristic to consider when selecting a
capacitor. ESR is the internal series resistance associated with a capacitor that includes lead resistance,
internal connections, size and area, material composition, and ambient temperature. Typically, capacitor
ESR is measured in milliohms for ceramic capacitors
and can range to more than several ohms for tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors.
Ceramic Capacitor Materials: Ceramic capacitors less than 0.1µF are typically made from NPO
or C0G materials. NPO and C0G materials generally have tight tolerance and are very stable over
temperature. Larger capacitor values are usually
composed of X7R, X5R, Z5U, or Y5V dielectric
materials. Large ceramic capacitors (i.e., greater
than 2.2µF) are often available in low-cost Y5V and
Z5U dielectrics. These two material types are not
recommended for use with LDO regulators since
the capacitor tolerance can vary more than ±50%
over the operating temperature range of the device.
A 2.2µF Y5V capacitor could be reduced to 1µF
over temperature; this could cause problems for circuit operation. X7R and X5R dielectrics are much
more desirable. The temperature tolerance of X7R
dielectric is better than ±15%.
Capacitor area is another contributor to ESR.
Capacitors that are physically large in size will have
a lower ESR when compared to a smaller sized
capacitor of an equivalent material and capacitance
value. These larger devices can improve circuit transient response when compared to an equal value
capacitor in a smaller package size.
Consult capacitor vendor datasheets carefully
when selecting capacitors for LDO regulators.
age on the EN pin falls below 0.6 volts. If the
enable function is not needed in a specific application, it may be tied to VIN to keep the LDO regulator in a continuously on state.
When the LDO regulator is in shutdown mode, an
internal 1.5kΩ resistor is connected between VOUT
and GND. This is intended to discharge COUT when
the LDO regulator is disabled. The internal 1.5kΩ
has no adverse effect on device turn-on time.
Short-Circuit Protection
The AAT3215 contains an internal short-circuit protection circuit that will trigger when the output load
current exceeds the internal threshold limit. Under
short-circuit conditions, the output of the LDO regulator will be current limited until the short-circuit
condition is removed from the output or LDO regulator package power dissipation exceeds the
device thermal limit.
Thermal Protection
The AAT3215 has an internal thermal protection circuit which will turn on when the device die temperature exceeds 150°C. The internal thermal protection circuit will actively turn off the LDO regulator
output pass device to prevent the possibility of overtemperature damage. The LDO regulator output
will remain in a shutdown state until the internal die
temperature falls back below the 150°C trip point.
The combination and interaction between the shortcircuit and thermal protection systems allows the
LDO regulator to withstand indefinite short-circuit
conditions without sustaining permanent damage.
No-Load Stability
The AAT3215 is designed to maintain output voltage regulation and stability under operational noload conditions. This is an important characteristic
for applications where the output current may drop
to zero.
Enable Function
The AAT3215 features an LDO regulator enable/
disable function. This pin (EN) is active high and is
compatible with CMOS logic. To assure the LDO
regulator will switch on, the EN turn-on control level
must be greater than 2.0V. The LDO regulator will
go into the disable shutdown mode when the volt10
Reverse Output-to-Input Voltage
Conditions and Protection
Under normal operating conditions, a parasitic
diode exists between the output and input of the
LDO regulator. The input voltage should always
remain greater than the output load voltage, main3215.2006.05.1.6
AAT3215
150mA CMOS High Performance LDO
taining a reverse bias on the internal parasitic
diode. Conditions where VOUT might exceed VIN
should be avoided since this would forward bias
the internal parasitic diode and allow excessive
current flow into the VOUT pin, possibly damaging
the LDO regulator.
In applications where there is a possibility of VOUT
exceeding VIN for brief amounts of time during normal operation, the use of a larger value CIN capacitor is highly recommended. A larger value of CIN
with respect to COUT will effect a slower CIN decay
rate during shutdown, thus preventing VOUT from
exceeding VIN. In applications where there is a
greater danger of VOUT exceeding VIN for extended
periods of time, it is recommended to place a
Schottky diode across VIN to VOUT (connecting the
cathode to VIN and anode to VOUT). The Schottky
diode forward voltage should be less than 0.45V.
Thermal Considerations and High
Output Current Applications
The AAT3215 is designed to deliver a continuous
output load current of 150mA under normal operating conditions.
The limiting characteristic for the maximum output
load current safe operating area is essentially
package power dissipation and the internal preset
thermal limit of the device. In order to obtain high
operating currents, careful device layout and circuit
operating conditions need to be taken into account.
where TA = 85°C, under normal ambient conditions
TA = 25°C. Given TA = 85°C, the maximum package power dissipation is 211mW. At TA = 25°C, the
maximum package power dissipation is 526mW.
The maximum continuous output current for the
AAT3215 is a function of the package power dissipation and the input-to-output voltage drop across
the LDO regulator. Refer to the following simple
equation:
IOUT(MAX) <
For example, if VIN = 5V, VOUT = 3V, and TA = 25°C,
IOUT(MAX) < 264mA. If the output load current were
to exceed 264mA or if the ambient temperature
were to increase, the internal die temperature
would increase. If the condition remained constant, the LDO regulator thermal protection circuit
would activate.
To determine the maximum input voltage for a
given load current, refer to the following equation.
This calculation accounts for the total power dissipation of the LDO regulator, including that caused
by ground current.
PD(MAX) = (VIN - VOUT)IOUT + (VIN · IGND)
This formula can be solved for VIN to determine the
maximum input voltage.
The following discussions will assume the LDO regulator is mounted on a printed circuit board utilizing
the minimum recommended footprint as stated in
the Layout Considerations section of this datasheet.
At any given ambient temperature (TA), the maximum package power dissipation can be determined by the following equation:
PD(MAX) =
TJ(MAX) - TA
θJA
Constants for the AAT3215 are TJ(MAX), the maximum junction temperature for the device which is
125°C, and ΘJA = 190°C/W, the package thermal
resistance. Typically, maximum conditions are calculated at the maximum operating temperature

From the discussion above, PD(MAX) was determined to equal 526mW at TA = 25°C.

AAT3215
150mA CMOS High Performance LDO
Thus, the AAT3215 can sustain a constant 2.5V output at a 150mA load current as long as VIN is ≤ 6.00V
at an ambient temperature of 25°C. 6.0V is the
absolute maximum voltage where an AAT3215
would never be operated, thus at 25°C, the device
would not have any thermal concerns or operational
VIN(MAX) limits.
For a 150mA output current and a 2.7V drop
across the AAT3215 at an ambient temperature of
85°C, the maximum on-time duty cycle for the
device would be 85.54%.
The following family of curves show the safe operating area for duty-cycled operation from ambient
room temperature to the maximum operating level.
This situation can be different at 85°C. The following is an example for an AAT3215 set for a 2.5V
output at 85°C:

Duty Cycle (%)
Higher input-to-output voltage differentials can be
obtained with the AAT3215, while maintaining device
functions within the thermal safe operating area. To
accomplish this, the device thermal resistance must
be reduced by increasing the heat sink area or by
operating the LDO regulator in a duty-cycled mode.

For example, an application requires VIN = 4.2V

VIN is greater than 3.90V, which is the maximum
safe continuous input level for VOUT = 2.5V at
150mA for TA = 85°C. To maintain this high input
voltage and output current level, the LDO regulator

150mA CMOS High Performance LDO
High Peak Output Current Applications
Some applications require the LDO regulator to
operate at continuous nominal level with short
duration, high-current peaks. The duty cycles for
both output current levels must be taken into
account. To do so, first calculate the power dissipation at the nominal continuous level, then factor
in the additional power dissipation due to the short
duration, high-current peaks.
For example, a 2.5V system using a AAT3215IGV2.5-T1 operates at a continuous 100mA load current level and has short 150mA current peaks. The
current peak occurs for 378µs out of a 4.61ms period. It will be assumed the input voltage is 4.2V.
First, the current duty cycle in percent must be calculated:
% Peak Duty Cycle: X/100 = 378µs/4.61ms
% Peak Duty Cycle = 8.2%
The LDO regulator will be under the 100mA load
for 91.8% of the 4.61ms period and have 150mA
peaks occurring for 8.2% of the time. Next, the
continuous nominal power dissipation for the
100mA load should be determined then multiplied
by the duty cycle to conclude the actual power dissipation over time.
PD(MAX)
PD(100mA)
PD(100mA)
= (VIN - VOUT)IOUT + (VIN · IGND)
= (4.2V - 2.5V)100mA + (4.2V · 150µA)
= 170.6mW
PD(91.8%D/C) = %DC · PD(100mA)
PD(91.8%D/C) = 0.918 · 170.6mW
PD(91.8%D/C) = 156.6mW
The power dissipation for 100mA load occurring for
91.8% of the duty cycle will be 156.6mW. Now the
power dissipation for the remaining 8.2% of the
duty cycle at the 150mA load can be calculated:
PD(MAX)
PD(150mA)
PD(150mA)
= (VIN - VOUT)IOUT + (VIN · IGND)
= (4.2V - 2.5V)150mA + (4.2V · 150mA)
= 255.6mW
PD(8.2%D/C) = %DC · PD(150mA)
PD(8.2%D/C) = 0.082 · 255.6mW
PD(8.2%D/C) = 21mW
The power dissipation for 150mA load occurring for
8.2% of the duty cycle will be 21mW. Finally, the
two power dissipation levels can summed to deter-
3215.2006.05.1.6
mine the total true power dissipation under the varied load.
PD(total) = PD(100mA) + PD(150mA)
PD(total) = 156.6mW + 21mW
PD(total) = 177.6mW
The maximum power dissipation for the AAT3215
operating at an ambient temperature of 85°C is
211mW. The device in this example will have a total
power dissipation of 177.6mW. This is well within
the thermal limits for safe operation of the device.
Printed Circuit Board Layout
Recommendations
In order to obtain the maximum performance from
the AAT3215 LDO regulator, careful consideration
should be given to the printed circuit board (PCB)
layout. If grounding connections are not properly
made, power supply ripple rejection, low output self
noise, and transient response can be compromised.
Figure 1 shows a common LDO regulator layout
scheme. The LDO regulator, external capacitors
(CIN, COUT, and CBYP), and the load circuit are all
connected to a common ground plane. This type of
layout will work in simple applications where good
power supply ripple rejection and low self noise are
not a design concern. For high performance applications, this method is not recommended.
The problem with the layout in Figure 1 is the
bypass capacitor and output capacitor share the
same ground path to the LDO regulator ground pin,
along with the high current return path from the
load back to the power supply. The bypass capacitor node is connected directly to the LDO regulator
internal reference, making this node very sensitive
to noise or ripple. The internal reference output is
fed into the error amplifier, thus any noise or ripple
from the bypass capacitor will be subsequently
amplified by the gain of the error amplifier. This
effect can increase noise seen on the LDO regulator output, as well as reduce the maximum possible
power supply ripple rejection. There is PCB trace
impedance between the bypass capacitor connection to ground and the LDO regulator ground connection. When the high load current returns
through this path, a small ripple voltage is created,
feeding into the CBYP loop.

Evaluation Board Layout
Figure 2 shows the preferred method for the bypass
and output capacitor connections. For low output
noise and highest possible power supply ripple
rejection performance, it is critical to connect the
bypass and output capacitor directly to the LDO regulator ground pin. This method will eliminate any
load noise or ripple current feedback through the
LDO regulator.
