Designed specifically to meet the requirement for extended operation of battery-powered equipment such as cordless and cellular telephones, the A8220SLH thru A8233SLH voltage regulators offer the
reduced dropout voltage and quiescent current essential for maximum
battery life. Applicable also to palmtop computers and personal data
assistants, these devices deliver a regulated output at up to 100 mA
(transient), which is limited only by package power dissipation. Regulated output voltages of 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3.0 and 3.3 are currently
provided. Other voltages, down to 2.0 volts, are available on special
order.

A PMOS pass element provides a typical dropout voltage of only
125 mV at 50 mA of load current. The low dropout voltage permits
deeper battery discharge before output regulation is lost. Quiescent
current does not increase significantly as the dropout voltage is approached, an ideal feature in standby/resume power systems where data
integrity is crucial. Regulator accuracy and excellent temperature
characteristics are provided by a bandgap reference. The A8220SLH
thru A8233SLH include ENABLE inputs to give the designer complete
control over power up, standby, or power down.
These devices are supplied in a thermally enhanced 5-lead smalloutline plastic package similar to the SOT-23, and fitting the SC-74A
footprint. All devices are rated for operation over a temperature range
of -20°C to +85°C.

* Absolute maximum peak output current rating is 100 mA; absolute maximum input voltage is 7 V.
† IO = (TJ – TA)/([VI – VO] RθJA x dc) = (150 – TA)/([VI – VO] x 220 x 1.00)
Output current rating can be increased (to 100 mA maximum) by additional heat sinking or reducing the duty cycle.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Linear regulators require input and output capacitors in order to
maintain over-all loop stability. The recommended minimum
value for the input capacitor is 0.1 µF. The output capacitor is
the dominant pole that provides the high-frequency compensation required for over-all regulator loop stability. These devices
are stable with as little as 1 µF. However, to ensure stable
operation under all conditions and capacitor types, the recommended minimum value is 4.7 µF. The output capacitor may be
partially distributed through the load circuits. However, at least
1 µF should be connected at the regulator using the shortest and
widest foil pattern possible.
Thermal Considerations
These devices are intended to provide up to 100 mA of load
current in a very small package. The table on page 2 of this data
sheet gives the maximum allowable average output current for a
worst-case printed circuit design (RθJA = 220°C/W with a
minimum footprint). Performance improvement is easily
accomplished with the addition of 1 square inch of copper at
terminal 2 (RθJA = 170°C/W).
