 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AX6631 is a low noise, high output current, low quiescent current and low dropout
linear regulator. The Device includes pass element, error amplifier, band-gap, current limit
and thermal shutdown circuitry. The output current is up to 1.2A, the characteristics of low
dropout voltage and less quiescent current make it good for some critical current application,
and for example, some battery powered devices. The typical quiescent current is
approximately 50µA. In the shutdown mode, the maximum supply current is less than 1uA.
Built-in current-limit, Short current protection and thermal-shutdown functions prevent any
fault condition from IC damage.

 FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS

A minimum of 2.2µF capacitor must be connected from VOUT to ground to insure

stability. Typically a large storage capacitor is connected from V IN to ground to ensure that
the input voltage does not sag below the minimum dropout voltage during the load transient
response. This pin must always be dropout voltage higher than VOUT in order for the device
to regulate properly.

Enable Function

The AX6631 features an LDO regulator enable/disable function. To assure the LDO
regulator will switch on; the EN turn on control level must be greater than 2.0 volts. The LDO
regulator will go into the shutdown mode when the voltage on the EN pin falls below 0.6
volts. For to protecting the system, the AX6631 have a quick-discharge function. If the
enable function is not needed in a specific application, it may be tied to VIN to keep the LDO
regulator in a continuously on state.

FB Function

The output is an adjustable version, the FB voltage is 0.8V. The output voltage can
be set by outside resistances. The output voltage, VOUT, is then given by the following
equation:

VOUT = 0.8* (1 + R1/R2)

For the reasons of reducing power dissipation and loop stability, R2 is recommending
to choose 50K~300KΩ.

 APPLICATION INFORMATION

Like any low-dropout regulator, the AX6631 requires input and output decoupling
capacitors. The device is specifically designed for portable applications requiring minimum
board space and smallest components. These capacitors must be correctly selected for
good performance (see Capacitor Characteristics Section). Please note that linear regulators
with a low dropout voltage have high internal loop gains which require care in guarding
against oscillation caused by insufficient decoupling capacitance.

Capacitor Selection

Normally, use a 2.2µF capacitor on the input and a 2.2µF capacitor on the output of
the AX6631. Larger input capacitor values and lower ESR (X5R, X7R) provide better
supply-noise rejection and transient response. A higher- value output capacitor (4.7µF) may
be necessary if large, fast transients are anticipated and the device is located several inches
from the power source.

Input-Output (Dropout) Voltage

A regulator's minimum input-to-output voltage differential (dropout voltage) determines

the lowest usable supply voltage. In battery-powered systems, this determines the useful
end-of-life battery voltage. Because the device uses a PMOS, its dropout voltage is a
function of drain-to source on-resistance, RDS (ON), multiplied by the load current:

VDROPOUT = VIN -VOUT = RDS (ON) x IOUT

Current Limit and Short-Circuit Protection

The AX6631 used a current sense-resistor to monitor the output current. A portion of
the PMOS output transistor’s current is mirrored to a resistor such that the voltage across
this resistor is proportional to the output current. Once the output current exceeds limit
threshold, AX6631 would be protected with a limited output current. Further more, when the
output is short to ground, the output current would be folded-back to a less limit.

Thermal Considerations

The AX6631 series can deliver a current of up to 1.2A over the full operating junction
temperature range. However, the maximum output current must be dated at higher ambient
temperature to ensure the junction temperature does not exceed 125°C. With all possible
conditions, the junction temperature must be within the range specified under operating
conditions. Power dissipation can be calculated based on the output current and the voltage
drop across regulator.

PD = (VIN - VOUT) IOUT

The final operating junction temperature for any set of conditions can be estimated by
the following thermal equation:

PD (MAX) = (TJ (MAX) - TA) / θJA

Where TJ (MAX) is the maximum junction temperature of the die (125°C) and TA is the
maximum ambient temperature. The junction to ambient thermal resistance (θJA) for SOP-8L
package at recommended minimum footprint is 60°C/W. Visit our website in which
“Recommended Footprints for Soldering Surface Mount Packages” for detail.

PCB Layout

An input capacitance of ≅ 2.2µF is required between the AX6631 input pin and ground
(the amount of the capacitance may be increased without limit), this capacitor must be
located a distance of not more than 1cm from the input and return to a clean analog ground.
Input capacitor can filter out the input voltage spike caused by the surge current due to the
inductive effect of the package pin and the printed circuit board’s routing wire. Otherwise, the
actual voltage at the VIN pin may exceed the absolute maximum rating. The output capacitor
also must be located a distance of not more than 1cm from output to a clean analog ground.
Because it can filter out the output spike caused by the surge current due to the inductive
effect of the package pin and the printed circuit board’s routing wire.
