GENERAL D ESCRIP TIO N
ADP3334
T he ADP3334 is a member of the ADP333x family of precision
low dropout anyCAP voltage regulators. The ADP3334 operates
with an input voltage range of 2.6 V to 11 V and delivers a
continuous load current up to 500 mA. T he novel anyCAP
architecture requires only a very small 1 µF output capacitor for
stability, and the LDO is insensitive to the capacitor’s equiva-
lent series resistance (ESR). This makes ADP3334 stable with any
capacitor, including ceramic (MLCC) types for space restricted
applications.

Figure 1. Typical Application Circuit
T he ADP3334 achieves exceptional accuracy of ±0.9% at room
temperature and ±1.8% over temperature, line, and load. T he
dropout voltage of the ADP3334 is only 200 mV (typical) at
500 mA. T his device also includes a safety current limit, ther-
mal overload protection and a shutdown feature. In shutdown
mode, the ground current is reduced to less than 1 µA. T he
ADP3334 has low quiescent current 90 µA (typical) in light
load situations.
T he ADP3334 also features ADI’s thermally enhanced T hermal
Coastline package. This allows 1 W of power dissipation without
any external heat sinking.
