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.
3215.2002.03.0.91
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 shutdown 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 give 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 discussion in the section for
details on device operation at maximum output current loads.

AAT3215
150mA CMOS High Performance LDO
Applications Information
To assure the maximum possible performance is
obtained from the AAT3215, please refer to the following application recommendations.
Input Capacitor
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 3 centimeters from an input power source, a
CIN capacitor will be needed for stable operation.
CIN should be located as close 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
greater for COUT. If desired, COUT may be increased
without limit.
8
In low output current applications where output
load is less then 10mA, the minimum value for
COUT can be as low as 0.47µF.
Bypass Capacitor and Low Noise
Applications
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 turn
on 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 COG 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
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.
3215.2002.03.0.91
AAT3215
150mA CMOS High Performance LDO
Applications Information
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, 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
COG materials. NPO and COG materials are typically tight tolerance very stable over temperature.
Larger capacitor values are typically composed of
X7R, X5R, Z5U and Y5V dielectric materials. Large
ceramic capacitors, typically greater then 2.2µF are
often available in the 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 which 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 data sheets carefully
when selecting capacitors for LDO regulators.
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 2.0 volts. The LDO regulator
will go into the disable shutdown mode when the
voltage 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.
3215.2002.03.0.91
When the LDO regulator is in the 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 over
temperature 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 short
circuit and thermal protection systems allow 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.
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 then the output load voltage maintaining 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.
9
AAT3215
150mA CMOS High Performance LDO
Applications Information
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 0.45 volts.
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.
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 the document.
pation 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 = 3V and TA = 25°,
IOUT(MAX) < 264mA. If the output load current were to
exceed 264mA or if the ambient temperature were to
increase, the internal die temperature will increase.
If the condition remained constant, the LDO regulator thermal protection circuit will activate.
To figure what the maximum input voltage would be
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 AAT3215 set for
a 2.5 volt output:
From the discussion above, PD(MAX) was determined to equal 526mW at TA = 25°C.
VOUT = 2.5 volts
IOUT = 150mA
IGND = 150µA
At any given ambient temperature (TA) the maximum package power dissipation can be determined by the following equation:
VIN(MAX)=(526mW+(2.5Vx150mA))/(150mA +150µA)
PD(MAX) = [TJ(MAX) - TA] / Θ JA
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.
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
where TA = 85°C, under normal ambient conditions
TA = 25°C. Given TA = 85°, 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 dissi-
10
VIN(MAX) = 6.00V
This situation can be different at 85°C. The following is an example for an AAT3215 set for a 2.5 volt
output at 85°C:
From the discussion above, PD(MAX) was determined to equal 211mW at TA = 85°C.
3215.2002.03.0.91
AAT3215
150mA CMOS High Performance LDO
Applications Information
VIN(MAX) = 3.90V
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
while VOUT = 2.5V at a 150mA load and TA = 85°C.
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
must be operated in a duty cycled mode. Refer to
the following calculation for duty cycle operation:

IGND = 150µA

150mA CMOS High Performance LDO
Applications Information
High Peak Output Current Applications
two power dissipation levels can summed to determine the total true power dissipation under the varied load.
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, one would first need to calculate the power dissipation at the nominal continuous level, then factor in the additional power dissipation due to the short duration high current peaks.
PD(total) = PD(100mA) + PD(150mA)
PD(total) = 156.6mW + 21mW
PD(total) = 177.6mW
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.
Printed Circuit Board Layout
Recommendations
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) = (VIN - VOUT)IOUT + (VIN x IGND)
PD(100mA) = (4.2V - 2.5V)100mA + (4.2V x 150µA)
PD(100mA) = 170.6mW
PD(91.8%D/C) = %DC x PD(100mA)
PD(91.8%D/C) = 0.918 x 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) = (VIN - VOUT)IOUT + (VIN x IGND)
PD(150mA) = (4.2V - 2.5V)150mA + (4.2V x 150mA)
PD(150mA) = 255.6mW
PD(8.2%D/C) = %DC x PD(150mA)
PD(8.2%D/C) = 0.082 x 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

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.
In order to obtain the maximum performance from
the AAT3215 LDO regulator, very careful attention
must be considered in regard 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.

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.
