GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP3303A is a member of the ADP330x family of precision low dropout anyCAP voltage regulators. The ADP3303A
stands out from conventional LDOs with a novel architecture,
an enhanced process and a new package. Its patented design
requires only a 1 µF output capacitor for stability. This device is
insensitive to output capacitor ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance), and is stable with any good quality capacitor, including
ceramic types (MLCC) for space restricted applications. The
ADP3303A achieves exceptional accuracy of ± 0.8% at room
temperature and ± 1.4% overall accuracy over temperature, line
and load variations. The dropout voltage of the ADP3303A is
only 150 mV (typical) at 200 mA.
In addition to the new architecture and process, ADI’s new
proprietary thermally enhanced package (Thermal Coastline)
can handle 1 W of power dissipation without an external heat
sink or large copper surface on the PC board. This keeps PC
board real estate to a minimum and makes the ADP3303A very
attractive for use in portable equipment.
The ADP3303A operates over an input voltage range of 3.2 V
to 12 V and delivers a load current in excess of 200 mA. The
output voltage can be adjusted from 2.2 V to 10 V using an
external resistor divider. It also features an error flag that signals
when the device is about to lose regulation or when the short
circuit or thermal overload protection is activated. Other features include shutdown and optional noise reduction capabilities.

THEORY OF OPERATION
noise rejection and very high regulator gain, which leads to excellent line and load regulation. An impressive ±1.4% accuracy is
guaranteed over line, load and temperature.
The new anyCAP LDO ADP3303A uses a single control loop
for regulation and reference functions. The output voltage is
sensed by a resistive voltage divider consisting of R1 and R2,
which is varied to provide the available output voltage options.
Feedback is taken from this network by way of a series diode
(D1) and a second resistor divider (R3 and R4) to the input of
an amplifier.
INPUT
As the chip’s temperature rises above 165°C, the circuit activates a soft thermal shutdown, indicated by a signal low on the
ERR Pin, to reduce the current to a safe level.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The ADP3303A is very easy to use. The only external component required for stability is a small 1 µF bypass capacitor on the
output. If the shutdown feature is not used, the shutdown pin
(Pin 8) should be tied to the input pin.

CAPACITOR SELECTION
Bypass Capacitor (C1): connecting a 0.47 µF capacitor from the
IN pins (Pins 10 and 11) to ground greatly improves its line
transient response and reduces the circuit’s sensitivity to PC
board layout. A larger capacitor could be used if line transients
of longer duration are expected.
GND
Figure 20. Functional Block Diagram
A very high gain error amplifier is used to control this loop. The
amplifier is constructed in such a way that at equilibrium it
produces a large, temperature proportional input “offset voltage”
that is repeatable and very well controlled. The temperatureproportional offset voltage is combined with the complementary
diode voltage to form a “virtual bandgap” voltage, implicit in
the network, although it never appears explicitly in the circuit.
Ultimately, this patented design makes it possible to control the
loop with only one amplifier. This technique also improves the
noise characteristics of the amplifier by providing more flexibility on the trade-off of noise sources that leads to a low noise
design.
Output Capacitor (C2): as will all members of the anyCAP low
dropout regulator family, the ADP3303A is stable with any type
of output capacitor down to zero ESR. A small 1 µF output
capacitor is required for stability. Larger capacitors with low
ESR are recommended for improved load transient response.
For space limited applications, Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors
(MLCC) are a good choice. For low temperature operations
OS-CON capacitors offer better performance.
Noise Reduction Capacitor (CNR): to reduce the ADP3303A’s
low output noise by 6 dB–10 dB, a noise gain limiting capacitor
can be connected between the feedback (FB) pin (Pin 6) and
the OUT pins as shown in Figure 21. Low leakage capacitors
in the 100 pF–500 pF range provide the best performance.
Larger capacitors will slow down the output transient response.
CNR is not needed in low noise applications where fast load
transients are not expected.
The R1, R2 divider is chosen in the same ratio as the bandgap
voltage to the output voltage. Although the R1, R2 resistor
divider is loaded by the diode D1, and a second divider consisting of R3 and R4, the values are chosen to produce a temperature stable output. This unique arrangement specifically corrects
for the loading of the divider so that the error resulting from
base current loading in conventional circuits is avoided.
The patented amplifier controls a new and unique noninverting
driver that drives the pass transistor, Q1. The use of this special
noninverting driver enables the frequency compensation to
include the load capacitor in a pole splitting arrangement to
achieve reduced sensitivity to the value, type and ESR of the
load capacitance.

Most LDOs place strict requirements on the range of ESR values for the output capacitor because they are difficult to stabilize due to the uncertainty of load capacitance and resistance.
Moreover, the ESR value, required to keep conventional LDOs
stable, changes depending on load and temperature. These ESR
limitations make designing with LDOs more difficult because
of their unclear specifications and extreme variations over
temperature.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE SELECTION
The ADP3303A is characterized by having the output voltage
divider placed externally. The output voltage will be divided by
R1 and R2 and fed back to the FB pin.
This is no longer true with the ADP3303A anyCAP LDO. It
can be used with virtually any capacitor, with no constraint on
the minimum ESR. The innovative design allows the circuit to
be stable with just a small 1 µF capacitor on the output. Additional advantages of the pole splitting scheme include superior line
In order to have the lowest possible sensitivity of output voltage
versus any temperature variation, it is important that the parallel
resistance of R1 and R2 is always 44 kΩ.

OUTPUT CURRENT LIMITING
Short circuit protection is provided by limiting the pass transistors base drive current. Maximum output current is limited to
200 mA.
THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The ADP3303A is protected against damage due to excessive
power dissipation by its thermal overload protection circuit,
which limits the die temperature to a maximum of 165°C.
Under extreme conditions (i.e., high ambient temperature and
power dissipation), where die temperature starts to rise above
165°C, the output current is reduced until the die temperature
has dropped to a safe level. The output current is restored when
the die temperature is reduced.
Current and thermal limit protections are intended to protect
the device against accidental overload conditions. For normal
operation, device power dissipation should be externally limited
so that junction temperatures will not exceed 125°C.
CALCULATING JUNCTION TEMPERATURE
Device power dissipation is calculated as follows:
PD = (VIN – VOUT) ILOAD + (VIN) IGND
Where ILOAD and IGND are load current and ground current, VIN
and VOUT are input and output voltages, respectively.
Assuming ILOAD = 200 mA, IGND = 4 mA, VIN = 5.5 V and
VOUT = 3.0 V, device power dissipation is:
PD = (5.5 V – 3.0 V ) 0.2 + 5.5 × 0.004 = 0.522 W
The proprietary thermal coastline TSSOP-14 package of the
ADP3303A, in conjunction with the recommended PCB layout
shown in Figure 21, yields a thermal resistance of 96°C/W. As a
result, the die temperature rise for the example circuit is:
∆T = TJ – TA = PD × θJA = 0.522 × 96 = 50.1°C
If the maximum ambient temperature is 50°C, this yields a
maximum junction temperature of TJMAX = 100.1°C, which is
below the 125°C maximum operating junction temperature
rating.
REV. A
The rate at which heat is transferred is directly proportional to
the temperature differential between the die and PC board.
Once heat is transferred to the PC board, it should be dissipated
to the air or other medium.
Surface mount components rely on the conductive traces or
pads to transfer heat away from the device. Appropriate PC
board layout technique should be used to remove heat from
immediate vicinity of the package.
The following general guidelines will be helpful when designing
a board layout:
1. PC board traces with larger cross section areas will remove
more heat. For optimum results, use PC’s with thicker copper and or wider traces.
2. Increase the surface area exposed to open air so heat can be
removed by convection or forced air flow.
3. Do not solder mask or silk screen the heat dissipating traces.
Black anodizing will significantly improve heat reduction by
means of increased radiation.
Figure 22 shows the recommended board layout for the
ADP3303A. Although it is not critical, make sure R1 is connected right at the pin or the point you want to regulate in order
to realize a proper kelvin connection. This will improve overall
precision and stability. The same consideration is valid for the
R2 connection to the ground pin, but a short connection is
strongly suggested. No other components can be connected to
the FB pin except an optional 10 nF–100 nF capacitor (CNR) in
parallel to R1 that serves as a noise reduction capacitor.
SHUTDOWN MODE
Applying a TTL high signal to the shutdown pin, or tying it to
the input pin, will turn the output ON. Pulling the shutdown
pin down to 0.3 V or below, or tying it to ground, will turn the
output OFF. In shutdown mode, quiescent current is reduced
to less than 1 µA.
INPUT–OUTPUT DROPOUT VOLTAGE AND DROPOUT
DETECTOR
The ADP3303A maintains a regulated output with an input
voltage as low as 150 mV above the nominal output voltage.
Input voltage falling below this level will generate an error signal
indicating that the error amplifier output is reaching its saturated state and will not be able to drive the pass transistor any
harder. Lowering the input voltage any further will result in
output voltage reduction and loss of regulation.
The input voltage threshold which generates the error output
signal depends on the load current. At the rated output current,
it is slightly lower than the nominal output voltage plus the
dropout voltage. However, the threshold is much lower at
lighter loads.
APPLICATION CIRCUITS
Crossover Switch
The circuit in Figure 23 shows that two ADP3303As can be
used to form a mixed supply voltage system. The output
switches between two different levels selected by an external
digital input. Output voltages can be any combination of voltages from the Ordering Guide.

The ADP3303A can source up to 200 mA without any heatsink
or pass transistor. If higher current is needed, an appropriate
pass transistor can be used, as in Figure 24, to increase the
output current to 1 A.

The circuit in Figure 25 provides high precision with low dropout for any regulated output voltage. It significantly reduces the
ripple from a switching regulator while providing a constant
dropout voltage, which limits the power dissipation of the LDO
to 60 mW. The ADP3000 used in this circuit is a switching
regulator in the step-up configuration.
