GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP165/ADP166 evaluation boards are used to demonstrate
the functionality of the ADP165/ADP166 series of linear
regulators.
Simple device measurements such as line and load regulation,
dropout voltage, and ground current can be demonstrated with
only a single voltage supply, a voltmeter, an ammeter, and load
resistors.
Complete specifications for the ADP165/ADP166 linear regulators
are available in the ADP165/ADP166 data sheet available from
Analog Devices, Inc., and should be consulted in conjunction
with this user guide when using the evaluation boards.

EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE
EVALUATION BOARD CONFIGURATIONS
The ADP165/ADP166 evaluation boards come supplied with
different components, depending on the version ordered.
Components common to all versions are C1, C2, and J1.
Resistors R1 and R2 and Jumper J2 are used for the adjustable
output ADP165/ADP166, the 6-lead LFCSP and 5-lead TSOT
options. Figure 4, Figure 5, and Figure 6 show the schematics of
these evaluation board configurations. Table 1 describes the
components.
The adjustable ADP165/ADP166 has an output voltage range of
1.2 V to 4.2 V. The output voltage is set by the ratio of two external
resistors, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 6. The device servos the
output to maintain the voltage at the ADJ pin at 1.0 V referenced
to ground. The current in R1 is then equal to 1.0 V/R2, and the
current in R1 is the current in R2 plus the ADJ pin bias current.
The ADJ pin bias current, 10 nA at 25°C, flows through R1 into
the ADJ pin.
Calculate the output voltage using the following equation:
VOUT = 1.0 V(1 + R1/R2) + (ADJI-BIAS)(R1)
The value of R1 must be less than 200 kΩ to minimize errors in
the output voltage caused by the ADJ pin bias current. For example,
when R1 and R2 each equal 200 kΩ, the output voltage is 2.0 V.
The output voltage error introduced by the ADJ pin bias current
is 1 mV or 0.05%.
To minimize quiescent current in the ADP165/ADP166, use
high values of resistance for R1 and R2. Using a value of 1 MΩ
for R2 keeps the total, no load quiescent current below 2 μA.
However, high values of resistance introduce a small output
voltage error. For example, assuming that R1 and R2 are 1,
the output voltage is 2 V. Taking into account the nominal
ADJ pin bias current of 10 nA, the output voltage error is 0.25%.
Note that when the device is in shutdown, the output turns off,
and the divider current is zero.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS
Figure 7. Output Voltage Measurement Setup, TSOT
Figure 8. Output Voltage Measurement Setup, WLCSP
Figure 7 and Figure 8 show how the evaluation board can be
connected to a voltage source and a voltmeter for basic output
voltage accuracy measurements. Note that the LFCSP
measurement setup is the same as the TSOT setup.
A resistor can be used as the load for the regulator. Ensure that
the resistor has a power rating that is adequate to handle the power
expected to dissipate across it. An electronic load can also be
used as an alternative. Ensure that the voltage source can supply
enough current for the expected load levels.
Follow these steps to connect the evaluation board to a voltage
source and voltmeter:
1. Connect the negative terminal (−) of the voltage source to
one of the GND pads on the evaluation board.
2. Connect the positive terminal (+) of the voltage source to
the VIN pad on the evaluation board.
3. Connect a load between the VOUT pad and one of the
GND pads on the evaluation board.
4. Connect the negative terminal (−) of the voltmeter to one
of the GND pads on the evaluation board.
5. Connect the positive terminal (+) of the voltmeter to the
VOUT pad on the evaluation board.
When these steps are completed, the voltage source can be turned
on. If J1 is inserted (connecting EN to VIN for automatic startup),
the regulator powers up.
If the load current is large, the user must connect the voltmeter
as close as possible to the output capacitor to reduce the effects
of IR drops.

LINE REGULATION MEASUREMENTS
For line regulation measurements, the output of the regulator
is monitored while its input is varied. For good line regulation,
the output must change as little as possible with varying input
levels. To ensure that the device is not in dropout mode during line
regulation measurement, VIN must be varied between VOUTNOM +
0.4 V (or 2.2 V, whichever is greater) and VINMAX. For example,
for an ADP165 with a fixed 3.3 V output, VIN must be varied
between 2.7 V and 5.5 V. This measurement can be repeated under
different load conditions. Figure 9 shows the typical line regulation
performance of an ADP165 with a fixed 3.3 V output.
Figure 9. Output Voltage (VOUT) vs. Input Voltage (VIN) at
VOUT = 3.3 V, TA = 25°C
LOAD REGULATION MEASUREMENTS
For load regulation measurements, the output of the regulator is
monitored while the load is varied. For good load regulation, the
output must change as little as possible with varying load. The input
voltage must be held constant during load regulation measurement.
The load current can be varied from 0 mA to 150 mA. Figure 10
shows the typical load regulation performance of an ADP165
with a fixed 3.3 V output for an input voltage of 3.8 V.
Figure 10. Output Voltage (VOUT) vs. Load Current (IOUT) at
VIN = 3.8 V, VOUT = 3.3 V, TA = 25°C
DROPOUT VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS
The dropout voltage can be measured using the configurations
shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8. Dropout voltage is defined as
the input to output voltage differential when the input voltage is
set to the nominal output voltage. The ADP165/ADP166 only
enter dropout mode for output voltages higher than 2.2 V; for
lower voltage outputs, the ADP165/ADP166 shut down. The
dropout voltage increases with larger loads.
For accurate measurements, use a second voltmeter to monitor
the input voltage across the input capacitor. The input supply
voltage may need adjusting to account for IR drops, especially
when using large load currents. Figure 11 shows the typical curve
of dropout voltage measurements with different load currents.

GROUND CURRENT MEASUREMENTS
Figure 12. Ground Current Measurement Setup, TSOT
Figure 13. Ground Current Measurement Setup, WLCSP
Figure 12 and Figure 13 show how the evaluation board can be
connected to a voltage source and an ammeter for ground
current measurements. Note that the LFCSP measurement
setup is the same as the TSOT setup
A resistor can be used as the load for the regulator. Ensure that
the resistor has a power rating that is adequate to handle the
power expected to be dissipated across it. An electronic load
can be used as an alternative. Ensure that the voltage source can
supply enough current for the expected load levels.
Follow these steps to connect the evaluation board to a voltage
source and ammeter:
1. Connect the positive terminal (+) of the voltage source to
the VIN pad on the evaluation board.
2. Connect the positive terminal (+) of the ammeter to one of
the GND pads on the evaluation board.
3. Connect the negative terminal (−) of the ammeter to the
negative terminal (−) of the voltage source.
4. Connect a load between the VOUT pad on the evaluation
board and the negative terminal (−) of the voltage source.
When these connection steps are completed, the voltage source
can be turned on. If J1 is inserted (connecting EN to VIN for
automatic startup), the regulator powers up.

GROUND CURRENT CONSUMPTION
Ground current measurements can determine how much
current the internal circuits of the regulator consume while the
circuits perform the regulation function. To be efficient, the
regulator must consume as little current as possible. Typically,
the regulator uses the maximum current when supplying its
largest load level (150 mA). Figure 14 shows the typical ground
current consumption for various load levels at VOUT = 3.3 V and
TA = 25°C.
When the device is disabled (EN = GND), the ground current
drops to less than 50 nA.
