General Description
The APL5325 is a P-channel low dropout linear regulator
which needs only one input voltage from 3 to 6V, and
delivers current up to 300mA to set output voltage. It also
can work with low ESR ceramic capacitors and is ideal for
using in the battery-powered applications such as note-
book computers and cellular phones. Typical dropout volt-
age is only 300mV at 300mA loading.
Current limit with current foldback and thermal shutdown
functions protect the device against current over-loads
and over temperature. The APL5325 is available in a SOT-
23-5 package.

Function Description
+=R2
R1
10.8 VOUT
Where R1 is connected from VOUT to SET with Kelvin
sensing and R2 is connected from SET to GND. The rec-
ommended value of R2 is in the range of 100 to100k.
An error amplifier works with a temperature compensated
0.8V reference and an output PMOS regulates the output
to the presetting voltage. The error amplifier is designed
with high bandwidth and DC gain provides very fast tran-
sient response and less load regulation. It compares the
reference with the feedback voltage and amplifies the dif-
ference to drive the output PMOS which provides load
current from VIN to VOUT.
Output Voltage Regulation
The APL5325 is an adjustable low dropout linear
regulator. The output voltage set by the resistor-divider is
determined by:
Thermal Shutdown
A thermal shutdown circuit limits the junction tempera-
ture of APL5325. When the junction temperature exceeds
+160οC, a thermal sensor turns off the output PMOS, al-
lowing the device to cool down. The regulator regulates
the output again through initiation of a new soft-start cycle
after the junction temperature is cooled down by 40oC.
The thermal shutdown is designed with a 40oC hyster-
esis to lower the average junction temperature during
continuous thermal overload conditions, extending life-
time of the device.
For normal operation, device power dissipation should
be externally limited so that junction temperature will not
exceed 125oC.
Shutdown Control
The APL5325 has an active-low shutdown function. Force
SHDN high (>1.6V) enables the VOUT; force SHDN low
(<0.4V) disables the VOUT. SHDN is internally pulled low
by a resistor (3m typical). If it is not used, connect to VIN
for normal operation.

Application Information
Where the unit of COUT is µF and VOUT is V. Figure 1 shows
the curve of maximum output capacitor over the output
voltage. The output voltage range is from 0.8 to 5.5V and
the output capacitor value should under the line. Output
capacitors must be placed at the load and the ground pin
as close as possible and the impedance of the layout
must be minimized.
PD = (TJ - TA) / θJA
where (TJ-TA) is the temperature difference between the
junction and ambient air. θJA is the thermal resistance
between Junction and ambient air. Assuming the
TA=25oC and maximum TJ=160oC (typical thermal limit
threshold), the maximum power dissipation is calcu-
lated as:
PD(max)=(160-25)/240
= 0.56(W)
For normal operation, do not exceed the maximum junc-
tion temperature rating of TJ = 125 oC. The calculated power
dissipation should less than:
PD =(125-25)/240
= 0.41(W)
The GND provides an electrical connection to the ground
and channels heat away. Connect the GND to the ground
by using a large pad or a ground plane.
Output Capacitor (µF)
Output Voltage (V)
Figure 1
Input Capacitor
The APL5325 requires proper input capacitors to supply
surge current during stepping load transients to prevent
the input rail from dropping . Because the parasitic induc-
tor from the voltage sources or other bulk capacitors to
the VIN limit the slew rate of the surge current, place the
Input capacitors near VIN as close as possible. Input ca-
pacitors should be larger than 1µF and a minimum ce-
ramic capacitor of 1µF is necessary.
Output Capacitor
The APL5325 needs a proper output capacitor to main-
tain circuit stability and to improve transient response over
temperature and current. In order to insure the circuit
stability, the proper output capacitor value should be larger
than 2.2µF. With X5R and X7R dielectrics, 2.2µF is suffi-
cient at all operating temperatures. Large output capaci-
tor value can reduce noise and improve load-transient
response and PSRR, however, it also affects power on
issue. Equation (1) shows the relationship between the
maximum COUT value and the VOUT.

Operation Region and Power Dissipation
The APL5325 maximum power dissipation depends on
the thermal resistance and temperature difference be-
tween the die junction and ambient air. The power dissi-
pation PD across the device is:
Layout Consideration
Figure 2 illustrates the layout. Below is a checklist for
your layout:
1. Please place the input capacitors close to the VIN.
2. Ceramic capacitors for load must be placed near the
load as close as possible.
3. To place APL5325 and output capacitors near the load
is good for performance.
4. Large current paths, the bold lines in figure 2, must
have wide tracks.
5. Divider resistor R1 and R2 must be placed near the
SET as close as possible.
