The advanced circuit design of the AAT3221/2 has been optimized for very low quiescent or ground current consumption, making it ideal for use in power management systems for small battery-operated devices. The typical quiescent current level is just 1.1µA. AAT3221/2 devices also contain an enable circuit which has been provided to shut down the LDO regulator for additional power conservation in portable products. In the shutdown state, the LDO draws less than 1µA from input supply. The LDO also demonstrates excellent power supply ripple rejection (PSRR) and load and line transient response characteristics. The AAT3221/2 3221.2005.12.1.11 high performance LDO regulator is especially well suited for circuit applications that are sensitive to load circuit power consumption and extended battery life. The LDO regulator output has been specifically optimized to function with low-cost, low-ESR ceramic capacitors. However, the design will allow for operation with a wide range of capacitor types. The AAT3221/2 has complete short-circuit and thermal protection. The integral combination of these two internal protection circuits gives the AAT3221/2 a comprehensive safety system to guard against 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 document for details on device operation at maximum output load levels. 9 AAT3221/2 150mA NanoPower™ LDO Linear Regulator Applications Information The total output capacitance required can be calculated using the following formula: To ensure that the maximum possible performance is obtained from the AAT3221/2, please refer to the following application recommendations. Input Capacitor A 1µF or larger capacitor is typically recommended for CIN in most applications. A CIN capacitor is not required for basic LDO regulator operation. However, if the AAT3221/2 is physically located any distance more than one or two centimeters from the 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 power supply ripple rejection. Ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic capacitors may be selected for CIN, as there is no specific capacitor ESR requirement. 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 AAT3221/2 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 wide range of capacitor ESR, thus it will also work with some higher ESR tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors. However, for best performance, ceramic capacitors are recommended. The value of COUT typically ranges from 0.47µF to 10µF; however, 1µF is sufficient for most operating conditions. If large output current steps are required by an application, then an increased value for COUT should be considered. The amount of capacitance needed can be calculated from the step size of the change in output load current expected and the voltage excursion that the load can tolerate. 10 COUT = ∆I × 15µF ∆V Where: ∆I = maximum step in output current ∆V = maximum excursion in voltage that the load can tolerate Note that use of this equation results in capacitor values approximately two to four times the typical value needed for an AAT3221/2 at room temperature. The increased capacitor value is recommended if tight output tolerances must be maintained over extreme operating conditions and maximum operational temperature excursions. If tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors are used, the capacitor value should be increased to compensate for the substantial ESR inherent to these capacitor types. Capacitor Characteristics Ceramic composition capacitors are highly recommended over all other types of capacitors for use with the AAT3221/2. 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 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 less prone to damage if incorrectly connected. Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR): ESR is a very important characteristic to consider when selecting a capacitor. ESR is the internal series resistance associated with a capacitor, which includes lead resistance, internal connections, capacitor 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 are typically tight tolerance and very stable over temperature. Larger capacitor values are typically composed of X7R, X5R, Z5U, and Y5V dielectric materials. Large 3221.2005.12.1.11 AAT3221/2 150mA NanoPower™ LDO Linear Regulator ceramic capacitors, typically 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 the full operating temperature range. This can cause problems for circuit operation and stability. 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 equivalent material and capacitance value. These larger devices can also 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 use with LDO regulators. Enable Function The AAT3221/2 features an LDO regulator enable / disable function. This pin (EN) is compatible with CMOS logic. Active high or active low options are available (see Ordering Information). For a logic high signal, the EN control level must be greater than 2.4 volts. A logic low signal is asserted when the voltage on the EN pin falls below 0.6 volts. For example, the active high version AAT3221/2 will turn on when a logic high is applied to the EN pin. If the enable function is not needed in a specific application, it may be tied to the respective voltage level to keep the LDO regulator in a continuously on state; e.g., the active high version AAT3221/2 will tie VIN to EN to remain on. Short-Circuit Protection and Thermal Protection The AAT3221/2 is protected by both current limit and over-temperature protection circuitry. The internal short-circuit current limit is designed to activate when the output load demand exceeds the maximum rated output. If a short-circuit condition were to continually draw more than the current limit threshold, the LDO regulator's output voltage will drop to a level necessary to supply the current demanded by the load. Under short-circuit or other over-current operating conditions, the output voltage will drop and the AAT3221/2 die temperature 3221.2005.12.1.11 will rapidly increase. Once the regulator's power dissipation capacity has been exceeded and the internal die temperature reaches approximately 140°C, the system thermal protection circuit will become active. The internal thermal protection circuit will actively turn off the LDO regulator output pass device to prevent the possibility of over-temperature damage. The LDO regulator output will remain in a shutdown state until the internal die temperature falls back below the 140°C trip point. The interaction between the short-circuit and thermal protection systems allows the LDO regulator to withstand indefinite short-circuit conditions without sustaining permanent damage. No-Load Stability The AAT3221/2 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. An output capacitor is required for stability under no-load operating conditions. Refer to the output capacitor considerations section of this document for recommended typical output capacitor values. Thermal Considerations and High Output Current Applications The AAT3221/2 is designed to deliver a continuous output load current of 150mA under normal operating conditions. The limiting characteristic for the maximum output load 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. The following discussions will assume the LDO regulator is mounted on a printed circuit board utilizing the minimum recommended footprint and the printed circuit board is 0.062-inch thick FR4 material with one ounce copper. 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 AAT3221/2 are TJ(MAX), the maximum junction temperature for the device which is 125°C and ΘJA = 150°C/W, the package thermal resistance. Typically, maximum conditions are cal11 AAT3221/2 150mA NanoPower™ LDO Linear Regulator culated at the maximum operating temperature where TA = 85°C, under normal ambient conditions TA = 25°C. Given TA = 85°C, the maximum package power dissipation is 267mW. At TA = 25°C, the maximum package power dissipation is 667mW. The maximum continuous output current for the AAT3221/2 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) < PD(MAX) / (VIN - VOUT) For example, if VIN = 5V, VOUT = 2.5V and TA = 25°C, IOUT(MAX) < 267mA. The output short-circuit protection threshold is set between 150mA and 300mA. If the output load current were to exceed 267mA or if the ambient temperature were to increase, the internal die temperature would increase. If the condition remained constant and the short-circuit protection did not activate, there would be a potential damage hazard to the LDO regulator since the thermal protection circuit would only activate after a short-circuit event occured on the LDO regulator output. 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 x IGND) This formula can be solved for VIN to determine the maximum input voltage. VIN(MAX) = (PD(MAX) + (VOUT x IOUT)) / (IOUT + IGND) The following is an example for an AAT3221/2 set for a 2.5 volt output: VOUT = 2.5 volts IOUT = 150mA IGND = 1.1µA VIN(MAX)=(667mW+(2.5Vx150mA))/(150mA +1.1µA) VIN(MAX) = 6.95V From the discussion above, PD(MAX) was determined to equal 667mW at TA = 25°C. Thus, the AAT3221/2 can sustain a constant 2.5V output at a 150mA load current as long as VIN is ≤6.95V at an ambient temperature of 25°C. 5.5V is the maximum 12 input operating voltage for the AAT3221/2, thus at 25°C the device would not have any thermal concerns or operational VIN(MAX) limits. This situation can be different at 85°C. The following is an example for an AAT3221/2 set for a 2.5 volt output at 85°C: VOUT = 2.5 volts IOUT = 150mA IGND = 1.1µA VIN(MAX)=(267mW+(2.5Vx150mA))/(150mA +1.1µA) VIN(MAX) = 4.28V From the discussion above, PD(MAX) was determined to equal 267mW at TA = 85°C. Higher input-to-output voltage differentials can be obtained with the AAT3221/2, while maintaining device functions in 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 = 5.0V while VOUT = 2.5V at a 150mA load and TA = 85°C. VIN is greater than 4.28V, 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 must be operated in a duty-cycled mode. Refer to the following calculation for duty-cycle operation: IGND = 1.1µA IOUT = 150mA VIN = 5.0 volts VOUT = 2.5 volts %DC = 100(PD(MAX) / ((VIN - VOUT)IOUT + (VIN x IGND)) %DC=100(267mW/((5.0V-2.5V)150mA+(5.0Vx1.1µA)) %DC = 71.2% PD(MAX) is assumed to be 267mW. For a 150mA output current and a 2.5 volt drop across the AAT3221/2 at an ambient temperature of 85°C, the maximum on-time duty cycle for the device would be 71.2%. The following family of curves shows the safe operating area for duty-cycled operation from ambient room temperature to the maximum operating level. 3221.2005.12.1.11 AAT3221/2 150mA NanoPower™ LDO Linear Regulator High Peak Output Current Applications Device Duty Cycle vs. VDROP Some applications require the LDO regulator to operate at continuous nominal levels with short duration, high-current peaks. The duty cycles for both output current levels must be taken into account. To do so, one would first need to calculate the power dissipation at the nominal continuous level, then factor in the addition power dissipation due to the short duration, high-current peaks.

The current peak occurs for 378µs out of a 4.61ms period. It will be assumed the input voltage is 5.0V. First, the current duty cycle percentage must be calculated: % Peak Duty Cycle: X/100 = 378ms/4.61ms % Peak Duty Cycle = 8.2% Device Duty Cycle vs. V DROP (VOUT = 2.5V @ 50°C) 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.

Now the power dissipation for the remaining 8.2% of the duty cycle at the 150mA load can be calculated: PD(MAX) = (VIN - VOUT)IOUT + (VIN x IGND) PD(150mA) = (5.0V - 2.5V)150mA + (5.0V x 1.1mA) PD(150mA) = 375mW PD(8.2%D/C) = %DC x PD(150mA) PD(8.2%D/C) = 0.082 x 375mW PD(8.2%D/C) = 30.75mW The power dissipation for a 150mA load occurring for 8.2% of the duty cycle will be 20.9mW. Finally, the two power dissipation levels can summed to determine the total true power dissipation under the varied load: PD(total) = PD(100mA) + PD(150mA) PD(total) = 229.5mW + 30.75mW PD(total) = 260.25mW Printed Circuit Board Layout Recommendations In order to obtain the maximum performance from the AAT3221/2 LDO regulator, very careful attention must be considered in regard to the printed circuit board layout. If grounding connections are not properly made, power supply ripple rejection and LDO regulator transient response can be compromised. The LDO regulator external capacitors CIN and COUT should be connected as directly as possible to the ground pin of the LDO regulator. For maximum performance with the AAT3221/2, the ground pin connection should then be made directly back to the ground or common of the source power supply. If a direct ground return path is not possible due to printed circuit board layout limitations, the LDO ground pin should then be connected to the common ground plane in the application layout. The maximum power dissipation for the AAT3221/2 operating at an ambient temperature of 85°C is 267mW. The device in this example will have a total power dissipation of 260.25mW. This is within the thermal limits for safe operation of the device. 14 3221.2005.12.1.11 AAT3221/2 150mA NanoPower™ LDO Linear Regulator Ordering Information Output Voltage 1.6V 1.7V 1.8V 1.9V 2.0V 2.3V 2.4V 2.5V 2.6V 2.7V 2.8V 2.85V 2.9V 3.0V 3.1V 3.3V 3.5V 1.5V 1.6V 1.7V 1.8V 1.9V 2.0V 2.3V 2.4V 2.5V 2.6V 2.7V 2.8V 2.85V 2.9V 3.0V 3.1V 3.2V 3.3V 3.5V Enable Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high high Package Marking1 Part Number (Tape and Reel)2 SOT23-5 SOT23-5 SOT23-5 SOT23-5 SOT23-5 SOT23-5 SOT23-5 SOT23-5 SOT23-5 SOT23-5 SOT23-5 SOT23-5 SOT23-5 SOT23-5 SOT23-5 SOT23-5 SOT23-5 SC70JW-8 SC70JW-8 SC70JW-8 SC70JW-8 SC70JW-8 SC70JW-8 SC70JW-8 SC70JW-8 SC70JW-8 SC70JW-8 SC70JW-8 SC70JW-8 SC70JW-8 SC70JW-8 SC70JW-8 SC70JW-8 SC70JW-8 SC70JW-8 SC70JW-8 GYXYY GBXYY BBXYY CGXYY BLXYY FLXYY FMXYY AKXYY GPXYY GDXYY AQXYY BYXYY JCXYY ALXYY GVXYY AMXYY BMXYY AAT3221IGV-1.6-T1 AAT3221IGV-1.7-T1 AAT3221IGV-1.8-T1 AAT3221IGV-1.9-T1 AAT3221IGV-2.0-T1 AAT3221IGV-2.3-T1 AAT3221IGV-2.4-T1 AAT3221IGV-2.5-T1 AAT3221IGV-2.6-T1 AAT3221IGV-2.7-T1 AAT3221IGV-2.8-T1 AAT3221IGV-2.85-T1 AAT3221IGV-2.9-T1 AAT3221IGV-3.0-T1 AAT3221IGV-3.1-T1 AAT3221IGV-3.3-T1 AAT3221IGV-3.5-T1 AAT3221IJS-1.5-T1 AAT3221IJS-1.6-T1 AAT3221IJS-1.7-T1 AAT3221IJS-1.8-T1 AAT3221IJS-1.9-T1 AAT3221IJS-2.0-T1 AAT3221IJS-2.3-T1 AAT3221IJS-2.4-T1 AAT3221IJS-2.5-T1 AAT3221IJS-2.6-T1 AAT3221IJS-2.7-T1 AAT3221IJS-2.8-T1 AAT3221IJS-2.85-T1 AAT3221IJS-2.9-T1 AAT3221IJS-3.0-T1 AAT3221IJS-3.1-T1 AAT3221IJS-3.2-T1 AAT3221IJS-3.3-T1 AAT3221IJS-3.5-T1 BBXYY CGXYY BLXYY FLXYY FMXYY AKXYY GPXYY GDXYY AQXYY BYXYY JCXYY ALXYY GVXYY LEXYY AMXYY BMXYY 1.
