AAT3221/AAT3222: 150 mA NanopowerTM LDO Linear
Regulator
Applications
Description
The AAT3221 and AAT3222 NanoPower™ Low Drop Out (LDO)
linear regulators are ideal for portable applications where
extended battery life is critical. These devices feature extremely
low quiescent current, typically 1.1 µA. Dropout voltage is also
very low, typically less than 200 mV at the maximum output
current of 150 mA. The AAT3221/3222 have an enable pin which,
when asserted, places the LDO regulator into shutdown mode,
removing power from its load and offering extended power
conservation capabilities for portable battery-powered
applications.
• Cellular phones
• Digital cameras
• Handheld electronics
• Notebook computers
• PDAs
• Portable communication devices
• Remote controls
The AAT3221/3222 have output short-circuit and over-current
protection. In addition, the devices also have an over-temperature
protection circuit that shuts down the LDO regulator during
extended over-current events. Both devices are available with
active high or active low enable input.
Features
• Quiescent current: 1.1 µA
• Low dropout: 200 mV (typical)
• Guaranteed output: 150 mA
• High accuracy: ±2%
The AAT3221 and AAT3222 are available in Pb-free, space-saving
5-pin SOT23 packages. The AAT3221 is also available in a
Pb-free, 8-pin SC70JW package. Since only a small, 1 µF
ceramic output capacitor is recommended, often the only space
used is that occupied by the AAT3221 or AAT3222. The
AAT3221/3222 provide a compact and cost-effective voltage
conversion solution.
• Current limit protection
• Over-temperature protection
• Extremely low power shutdown mode
• Low temperature coefficient
• Factory-programmed output voltages: 1.5 V to 3.5 V
• Stable operation with virtually any output capacitor type
• Active high or low enable pin
Both devices are similar to the AAT3220, with the exception that
they offer further power savings with an enable pin.
A typical application circuit is shown in Figure 1. The pin
configuration is shown in Figures 2, 3, and 4. Signal pin
assignments and functional pin descriptions are provided in
Table 1.
