They are very easy to use. It requires only 2 external resistors to set the output voltage for adjustable version. The AS2885 are designed for low voltage applications that offers lower dropout voltage and faster transient response. This device is an excellent choice for use in powering low voltage microprocessor that require a lower dropout, faster transient response to regulate from +2.5V to 3.8V supplies and as a post regulator for switching supplies applications. The AS2885 features low dropout of a maximum of 1.2 volts. The AS2885 offers full protection against over-current faults, reversed input polarity, reversed load insertion, and positive and negative transient voltage. On-Chip trimming adjusts the reference voltage to 1%. The IQ of this device flows into load, which increases efficiency. The AS2885 are offered in 3-pin TO-220 and TO-263 packages compatible with other 3 terminal regulators. For a similar 5A low dropout voltage regulator refer to the AS2850 datasheet.

Note 2: Fixed Version Only Note 3: Adjustable Version Only Rev. 9/29/00 AS2885 APPLICATION HINTS The AS2885 incorporates protection against over-current faults, reversed load insertion, over temperature operation, and positive and negative transient voltage. However, the use of an output capacitor is required in order to insure the stability and the performances. Reducing parasitic resistance and inductance One solution to minimize parasitic resistance and inductance is to connect in parallel capacitors. This arrangement will improve the transient response of the power supply if your system requires rapidly changing current load condition. Stability The output capacitor is part of the regulator’s frequency compensation system. Either a 220µF aluminum electrolytic capacitor or a 47µF solid tantalum capacitor between the output terminal and ground guarantees stable operation for all operating conditions. However, in order to minimize overshoot and undershoot, and therefore optimize the design, please refer to the section ‘Ripple Rejection’. Thermal Consideration Although the AS2885 offers some limiting circuitry for overload conditions, it is necessary not to exceed the maximum junction temperature, and therefore to be careful about thermal resistance. The heat flow will follow the lowest resistance path, which is the Junction-to-case thermal resistance. In order to insure the best thermal flow of the component, a proper mounting is required. Note that the case of the device is electrically connected to the output. In case the case has to be electrically isolated, a thermally conductive spacer can be used. However do not forget to consider its contribution to thermal resistance. Ripple Rejection Ripple rejection can be improved by adding a capacitor between the ADJ pin and ground. When ADJ pin bypassing is used, the value of the output capacitor required increases to its maximum (220µF for an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, or 47µF for a solid tantalum capacitor). If the ADJ pin is not bypass, the value of the output capacitor can be lowered to 100µF for an electrolytic aluminum capacitor or 15µF for a solid tantalum capacitor. However the value of the ADJ-bypass capacitor should be chosen with respect to the following equation: C = 1 / ( 6.28 * FR * R1 ) Where C = value of the capacitor in Farads (select an equal or larger standard value), FR = ripple frequency in Hz, R1 = value of resistor R1 in Ohms. If an ADJ-bypass capacitor is use, the amplitude of the output ripple will be independent of the output voltage. If an ADJbypass capacitor is not used, the output ripple will be proportional to the ratio of the output voltage to the reference voltage: M = VOUT / VREF Where M = multiplier for the ripple seen when the ADJ pin is optimally bypassed. VREF = Reference Voltage Assuming: VIN = 7V, VOUT = 5V, IOUT = 1.5A, TA = 50°C/W, θHeatsink Case= 6°C/W, θHeatsink Case = 0.5°C/W, θ JC = 3°C/W Power dissipation under this condition PD = (VIN – VOUT) * IOUT = 7.5W Junction Temperature TJ = TA + PD * (θ Case- HS + θ HS + θ JC) For the Control Sections TJ = 50 + 7.5*(0.5+6=3) = 121.25°C 121.25°C < TJ(max) for the Control & Power Sections. In both case reliable operation is insured by adequate junction temperature.

The resistance R1 generates a constant current flow, normally the specified load current of 10mA. This current will go through the resistance R2 to set the overall output voltage. The current IADJ is very small and constant. Therefore its contribution to the overall output voltage is very small and can generally be ignored Load Regulation Parasitic line resistance can degrade load regulation. In order not to affect the behavior of the regulator, it is best to connect directly the R1 resistance from the resistor divider to the case, and not to the load. For the same reason, it is best to connect the resistor R2 to the Negative side of the load.
