n Detailed Description
contain a PMOS pass transistor, voltage reference, error
amplifier, over-current protection, and thermal shutdown.
error amplifier, over-current shutdown, and thermal pro-
tection circuits. During normal operation, the error ampli-
fier compares the output voltage to a precision reference.
Over-current and Thermal shutdown circuits become ac-
tive when the junction temperature exceeds 150
the current exceeds 600mA. During thermal shutdown,
the output voltage remains low. Normal operation is re-
stored when the junction temperature drops below 120
to current mode when the load exceeds the rated output
current. This prevents over-stress. The AME8806/8809/
8842 also incorporates current foldback to reduce power
dissipation when the output is short circuited. This fea-
ture becomes active when the output drops below 0.8
volts, and reduces the current flow by 65%. Full current
is restored when the voltage exceeds 0.8 volts.
n External Capacitors
pacitor to ground of 2.2 F or greater. Ceramic capacitors
have the lowest ESR, and will offer the best AC perfor-
mance. Conversely, Aluminum Electrolytic capacitors
exhibit the highest ESR, resulting in the poorest AC re-
sponse. Unfortunately, large value ceramic capacitors are
comparatively expensive. One option is to parallel a 0.1 F
ceramic capacitor with a 10 F Aluminum Electrolytic. The
benefit is low ESR, high capacitance, and low overall cost.

be at least 0.1 F to have a beneficial effect.

Polyester Film variety between the value of 0.001 ~
0.01 F. A larger capacitor improves the AC ripple rejec-
tion, but also makes the output come up slowly. This
"Soft" turn-on is desirable in some applications to limit
turn-on surges.
