NEW PRODUCT
The AP7363 is a 1.5A adjustable output voltage linear
regulator with ultra-low dropout. The device includes pass
element, error amplifier, band-gap, current limit and thermal
shutdown circuitry.
ADJ/NC OUTOUT OUT
The characteristics of low dropout voltage and fast transient
response to step changes in load make it suitable for low
voltage microprocessor applications. The typical quiescent
current is approximately 0.5mA and changes little with load
current. The built-in current-limit and thermal-shutdown
functions prevent IC from damage in fault conditions.

Application Note
Input Capacitor
A minimum 2.2μF ceramic capacitor is recommended
between IN and GND pins to decouple input power
supply glitch and noise. The amount of the capacitance
may be increased without limit. Larger input capacitor like
10μF will provide better load transient response. This
input capacitor must be located as close as possible to
the device to assure input stability and reduce noise. For
PCB layout, a wide copper trace is required for both IN
and GND pins. A lower ESR capacitor type allows the
use of less capacitance, while higher ESR type requires
more capacitance.
Output Capacitor
The output capacitor is required to stabilize and help the
transient response of the LDO. The AP7362 is stable with
any type of capacitor, with no limitations on minimum or
maximum ESR. The device is designed to have excellent
transient response for most applications with a small
amount of output capacitance. The device is also stable
with multiple capacitors in parallel, which can be of any
type of value. Additional capacitance helps to reduce
undershoot and overshoot during transient loads. This
capacitor should be placed as close as possible to OUT
and GND pins for optimum performance.
The output voltage is calculated by:
⎛
R ⎞
VOUT = VREF ⎜ 1 + 1 ⎟
⎜
R 2 ⎟⎠
⎝
Where VREF=0.6V (the internal reference voltage)
Rearranging the equation will give the following that is
used for adjusting the output to a particular voltage:
⎛V
⎞
R1 = R 2 ⎜ OUT − 1⎟
⎜V
⎟
⎝ REF
⎠
Adjustable Operation
The AP7362 provides output voltage from 0.6V to 5.0V
through external resistor divider as shown below.
To maintain the stability of the internal reference voltage,
R2 need to be kept smaller than 10kΩ.

NEW PRODUCT
Stability and Phase Margin
Any regulator which operates using a feedback loop must
be compensated in such a way as to ensure adequate
phase margin, which is defined as the difference between
the phase shift and -180 degrees at the frequency where
the loop gain crosses unity (0 dB). For most LDO
regulators, the ESR of the output capacitor is required to
create a zero to add enough phase lead to ensure stable
operation. The AP7362 has a internal compensation
circuit which maintains phase margin regardless of the
ESR of the output capacitor, any type of capacitos can be
used.
Below two charts show the gain/phase plot of the
AP7362 with an output of 1.2V, 10 μF ceramic output
capacitor, delivering 1.5A load current and no load. It can
be seen the phase margin is about 90° (which is very
stable).
140
100
PHASE MARGIN( °)
Other than external resistor divider, no minimum load is
required to keep the device stable. The device will remain
stable and regulated in no load condition.
When output current at OUT pin is higher than current
limit threshold, the current limit protection will be
triggered and clamp the output current to prevent overcurrent and to protect the regulator from damage due to
overheating.
Thermal Shutdown Protection
Thermal protection disables the output when the junction
temperature rises to approximately +170°C, allowing the
device to cool down. When the junction temperature
reduces to approximately +160°C the output circuitry is
enabled again. Depending on power dissipation, thermal
resistance, and ambient temperature, the thermal
protection circuit may cycle on and off. This cycling limits
the heat dissipation of the regulator, protecting it from
damage due to overheating.
Low Quiescent Current
The AP7362, consuming only around 0.5mA for all input
range, provides great power saving in portable and low
power applications.

Application Note (cont.)
Output Noise
NEW PRODUCT
This is the integrated value of the output noise over a
specified frequency range. Input voltage and output load
current are kept constant during the measurement.
Results are expressed in μVrms or μV √Hz.
The AP7362 is a low noise regulator and needs no
external noise reduction capacitor. Output voltage noise
is typically 100μVrms overall noise level between 100 Hz
and 100 kHz
Noise is specified in two ways:
Output noise density is the RMS sum of all noise
sources, measured at the regulator output, at a specific
frequency (measured with a 1Hz bandwidth). This type of
noise is usually plotted on a curve as a function of
frequency.
Output noise voltage is the RMS sum of spot noise over
a specified bandwidth. Spot noise is measured in units
μV/√Hz or nV/√Hz and total output noise is
measured in μV(rms). The primary source of noise in
low-dropout regulators is the internal reference.
Power Dissipation
The device power dissipation and proper sizing of the
thermal plane that is connected to the thermal pad is
critical to avoid thermal shutdown and ensure reliable
operation. Power dissipation of the device depends on
input voltage and load conditions and can be calculated
by:
PD = (VIN - VOUT) X IOUT
The maximum power dissipation, handled by the device,
depends on the junction to ambient thermal resistance,
and maximum ambient temperature, which can be
calculated by the equation in the following:
PD _ max =
( +150°C - TA )
