To guarantee the performance of the ADP160/ADP161, it is
imperative that the effects of dc bias, temperature, and tolerances
on the behavior of the capacitors are evaluated for each.

ENABLE FEATURE
The ADP160/ADP161 use the EN pin to enable and disable the
VOUT pin under normal operating conditions. As shown in
Figure ꢀꢀ, when a rising voltage on EN crosses the active threshold,
VOUT turns on. When a falling voltage on EN crosses the inactive
threshold, VOUT turns off.

As shown in Figure ꢀꢀ, the EN pin has hysteresis built in. This
prevents on/off oscillations that can occur due to noise on the
EN pin as it passes through the threshold points.

The EN pin active/inactive thresholds are derived from the VIN
voltage. Therefore, these thresholds vary with changing input
voltage. Figure ꢀ4 shows typical EN active/inactive thresholds
when the input voltage varies from 2.2 V to 5.5 V.

CURRENT LIMIT AND THERMAL OVERLOAD
PROTECTION
The ADP160/ADP161 are protected against damage due to
excessive power dissipation by current and thermal overload
protection circuits. The ADP160/ADP161 are designed to
current limit when the output load reaches ꢀ20 mA (typical).
When the output load exceeds ꢀ20 mA, the output voltage is
reduced to maintain a constant current limit.

Thermal overload protection is included, which limits the junction
temperature to a maximum of 150°C (typical). Under extreme
conditions (that is, high ambient temperature and power dissipation),
when the junction temperature starts to rise above 150°C, the
output is turned off, reducing the output current to zero. When
the junction temperature drops below 1ꢀ5°C, the output is turned
on again and the output current is restored to its nominal value.
