Smaller capacitors can be used if the output current step size, or rate of change, is less. (See graph titled Output Capacitance vs. Load Current Step Size.) In addition, if adequate bypassing is used at the load, the output capacitor near the LDO can be reduced. The AAT3232 has been optimized for operation with capacitors that are not of the low series resistance type. There are two benefits of using an LDO designed to work with series resistance. First, capacitors sized 10 µF or greater with low ESR are generally more expensive than the higher ESR types such as tantalum and electrolytic. Secondly, output capacitors need not be placed next to the regulator. Most applications use a large higher-ESR capacitor placed near the 10 9 Capacitance (uF) The AAT3232 is intended for use in systems where minimal current consumption is desired. During steady state operation, ground current is 30 µA typical. All remaining current is available to run the load. This part can also be run with drop out voltages as small as 300 mV allowing very efficient systems to be designed. Several compromises have been made for this device to operate with both low steady state current consumption and very low drop out voltage. The primary compromise is the requirement of larger capacitors over those required by other power hungry high performance LDO’s. Since the AAT3232 has considerably faster response than some ultra low current consumption LDOs available, it should not be considered a low performance LDO. The second compromise is the inability to sink current. If current is sourced by the load rather than sunk by the load, the AAT3232 will simply stop supplying current rather than actively reducing the output voltage. As long as the output voltage does not exceed the absolute maximum specification, the AAT3232 will not be damaged.

In cases where very compact design is desirable, a small 1206 case size ceramic capacitor and the load are placed and connected immediately adjacent to the LDO and the trace from the output pin to the output capacitor should have at least 5 milliohms of resistance. For example at least ten squares should be used on a one ounce copper layer. Also see Layout Tips, below. Enable The enable pin is the on/off switch for the LDO. When it is a logic high, the LDO is functioning normally. When it is a logic low, the LDO is in a low power, shut down mode. It has standard CMOS voltage levels set by the AAT3232 input voltage. Voltages at this terminal should be within the absolute maximum rating (-0.5V, to Vin + 0.5V). The enable pin is internally pulled up so that it may be left floating for normal operation. However, since the pull up current is only 500 nA, if open drain logic is used to drive the enable pin, several hundred microseconds may be required for the enable voltage to reach a logic high level. Cnoise The LDO's internal reference can be bypassed by connecting a capacitor from BYP to GND, reducing most of the internally generated noise seen at the output. (See graph titled Output Noise in the previous section.) A large capacitor on Cnoise also improves the PSRR of the AAT3232. (See graph titled Power Supply Rejection Ratio) In addition, a large capacitor Advanced Analogic Technologies, Inc. 1250 Oakmead Pkwy, Suite 310, Sunnyvale, CA 94086 (408)524-9684 Fax (408)524-9689 1-48 3232.2000.05.0.98 $1$/2*,& 7(&+ TM AAT3232 300mA CMOS Low Drop Out Linear Regulator slows down the rate at which the reference turns on. The result is that output voltage climbs slowly when the LDO is turned on either by applying power to the input terminal or by activating Enable. (See graph titled Turn On / Turn Off.) As a result, Cnoise can also be used as a soft start adjustment. Input Capacitor The input capacitor has two purposes: The first is to prevent load current surges from injecting noise onto the line. The second is to prevent line noise from affecting the operation of the regulator. In most circuits, the same value capacitor is used for input and output capacitors. If cost and space are an issue, a ceramic capacitor of a few microfarads works well. Additional PSRR In cases where greater PSRR than normally provided by the AAT3232 is required, additional filtering may be placed on the input line. This allows the filter to drop voltage without affecting the load voltage. For example, if the maximum load required is 100mA, and a drop out voltage of 1.5 volts is available, then a 10 ohm resistor and a 6.8uF capacitor can be used as an input filter. For optimal results, the input filter should be designed to reject signals above one kilohertz, which is where the AAT3232’s PSRR rolls off. Layout Since the AAT3232 is designed to operate with series resistance, it is not necessary to have the regulator close to the output capacitor. However, if a ceramic output capacitor is used, a small amount of ESR should be placed between the output capacitor and the regulator; 10 squares of trace on 1 oz. copper (about 5 mΩ ) is enough, but 10 mΩ gives better results. The load should be connected to the output capacitor’s side of the resistive trace rather than the regulator’s side of the resistive trace. PC board layout guidelines (in order of importance): 1. Cnoise capacitor to BYP and GND: Traces should be kept short. 2. Input capacitor to Vin and GND: Traces should be wide and short. 3. Filter resistor to Input capacitor (for the case of additional PSRR filtering): Connection need not be short but other loads should not be connected to the LDO side of the resistor. 4. Enable is not sensitive to position.
