The APE8839A is an efficient, precise dual-channel CMOS
LDO regulator optimized for ultra-low-quiescent applications.
Regulators output1 and output2 are capable of sourcing 600mA
of output current. The regulators are stable with output
capacitors as low as 1μF, including current limit, thermal
shutdown protection, fast transient response, low dropout
voltage, high output accuracy, current limiting protection, and
high ripple rejection ratio. The APE8839A contains internal pull

FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS
Enable Function
3
The APE8839A is a highly accurate, dual, low noise, CMOS LDO voltage
regulators with enable function. The output voltage for each regulator is set
independently by fuse trimming. As illustrated in function block diagram, it consists of
a reference, error amplifier, a P-channel pass transistor, an ON/OFF control logic and
an internal feedback voltage divider. The band gap reference is connected to the error
amplifier, which compares the reference with the feedback voltage and amplifies the
voltage difference. If the feedback voltage is lower than the reference voltage, the
pass- transistor gate is pulled lower, which allows more current to pass to the VOUT
pin and increases the output voltage. If the feedback voltage is too high, the pass
transistor gate is pulled up to decrease the output voltage. The output voltage is feed
back through an internal resistive divider connected to VOUT pin. Additional blocks
include an output current limiter, thermal sensor, and shutdown logic.
EN1 and EN2 pin start and stop the corresponding outputs independently. Those
pins are internal pull high. When the EN pin is switched to the power off level, the
operation of all internal circuit stops, the build-in P-channel MOSFET output transistor
between pins VIN and VOUT is switched off, allowing current consumption to be
drastically reduced.

For senstitive applications, due to the high internal pull-high resistance value, we
recommend add the external pull-high resistor to reduce any external influence, such
as the side effect brought by high humidity environment.

Application Information
Input Capacitor
4
An input capacitance of 1μF is required between input pin and ground directly
(the amount of the capacitance may be increased without limit). The input capacitor
must be located less than 1cm from the device to assure input stability. A lower ESR
capacitor allows the use of less capacitance, while higher ESR type (like aluminum
electrolytic) requires more capacitance. Capacitor types (aluminum, ceramic and
tantalum) can be mixed in parallel, but the total equivalent input capacitance/ ESR
must be defined as above to stable operation. There are no requirements for the ESR
on the input capacitor, but tolerance and temperature coefficient must be considered
when selecting the capacitor to ensure the capacitance will be 1μF over the entire
operating temperature range.
Like any low-dropout regulator, the APE8839A 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.
Thermal Shutdown protection limits total power dissipation of APE8839A. When
the junction temperature exceeds TJ = +150°C, a thermal sensor turns off the pass
transistor, allowing the IC to cool down. The thermal sensor turns the pass transistor
on again after the junction temperature cools down by 25°C, resulting in a pulsed
output during continuous thermal shutdown conditions.
Thermal shutdown protection is designed to protect the APE8839A in the event of
fault conditions. For continuous operation, the absolute maximum operating junction
temperature rating of TJ = +125°C should not be exceeded.
Each channel of APE8839A includes a fold back current limiter. It monitors and
controls the pass transistor’s gate voltage, estimates the output current, and limits the
output current minimum 700mA.
A regulator’s minimum input-output voltage differential, or dropout voltage,
determines the lowest usable supply voltage. The APE8839A use a P- channel
MOSFET pass transistor, its dropout voltage is function of drain-to-source on-
resistance RDS (ON) multiplied by the load current.

Thermal Considerations
5
The APE8839A series can deliver a current of up to 600mA/channel over the full
operating junction temperature range. However, the maximum output current must be
debated 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 + VIN x IQ
The final operating junction temperature for any set of conditions can be estimated
by the following thermal equation:
PD (MAX) = (TJ (MAX) - TA) / RthJA
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 (RthJA)
ESOP-8 package at recommended minimum footprint is 45°C/W that is connect 1 in2
PCB copper area to exposed pad.
The APE8839A is designed specifically to work with very small ceramic output
capacitors. A ceramic capacitor (temperature characteristics X7R, X5R) in 1μF is
suitable for the APE8839A application. The recommended minimum capacitance for
the device is 1μF, X5R or X7R dielectric ceramic, between VOUT and GND for
stability, but it may be increased without limit. Higher capacitance values help to
improve transient. The output capacitor's ESR is critical because it forms a zero to
provide phase lead which is required for loop stability.
