AAT AAT3221IGV-1.8-T1

AAT3221/2
150mA NanoPower™ LDO Linear Regulator
General Description
Features
The AAT3221 and AAT3222 PowerLinear
NanoPower low dropout (LDO) linear regulators
are ideal for portable applications where extended
battery life is critical. These devices feature
extremely low quiescent current, typically 1.1µA.
Dropout voltage is also very low, typically less than
200mV at the maximum output current of 150mA.
The AAT3221/2 have an enable pin feature which,
when asserted, will enter the LDO regulator into
shutdown mode, removing power from its load and
offering extended power conservation capabilities
for portable battery-powered applications.

The AAT3221/2 have output short-circuit and overcurrent protection. In addition, the devices also
have an over-temperature protection circuit, which
will shut down the LDO regulator during extended
over-current events. The devices are available
with active high or active low enable input.
The AAT3221 and AAT3222 are available in Pb-free,
space-saving 5-pin SOT23 packages. The AAT3221
is also available in a Pb-free, 8-pin SC70JW package. The device is rated over the -40°C to +85°C
temperature range. Since only a small, 1µF ceramic output capacitor is recommended, often the only
space used is that occupied by the AAT3221/2 itself.
The AAT3221/2 provide a compact and cost-effective voltage conversion solution.

Functional Description
The AAT3221 and AAT3222 are intended for LDO
regulator applications where output current load
requirements range from no load to 150mA. 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.

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.

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.

Duty Cycle (%)
For example, a 2.5V system using an AAT3221/
2IGV-2.5-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 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.

AAT3221/2
150mA NanoPower™ LDO Linear Regulator
The power dissipation for a 100mA load occurring
for 91.8% of the duty cycle will be 229.5mW. 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.
