AS1360
1.5µA Low-Power, Positive Voltage R e g u lator
www.austriamicrosystems.com/LDOs/AS1360 Revision 1.07 1 - 13
Datasheet
1 General Description
The AS1360 low-power, positive voltage regulator was designed to
deliver up to 250mA while consuming only 1.5µA of quiescent cur-
rent. The device is available in fixed output voltages of 1.8, 2.1, 2.5,
3.0, 3.3, 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0V.
The device features integrated short-circuit and overcurrent protec-
tion.
The wide input voltage range, low-dropout voltage, and high-accu-
racy output voltage makes the device perfectly suited for 2- and 3-
cell battery-powered and portable applications.
The low dropout voltage (650mV) prolongs battery life and allows
high current in small applications when operated with minimum
input-to-output voltage differentials.
The device features very stable output voltage (using only 1µF tanta-
lum or aluminum-electrolytic capacitors), strict output voltage regula-
tion tolerances (±0.5%), and excellent line-regulation.
The AS1360 is available in a 3-pin SOT23 package.

8 Detailed Description
The AS1360 is a low-power, positive voltage regulator designed in such a way that the supply current is independent from the load current. The
device regulates the output by comparing the output voltage to an internally generated reference voltage.
The device is available in fixed output voltages of 1.8, 2.5, 3.0, 3.3, and 5.0V. Fixed output voltages are generated using the internal resistor
divider network (see Figure 1 on page 1).
Short Circuit/Overcurrent Protection
The AS1360 monitors current flow through the p-channel MOSFET. In short-circuit or overcurrent conditions, the integrated short-circuit protec-
tion circuitry will limit output current.
Note: Thermal Dissipation according to Absolute Maximum Ratings on page 3 must be considered.

Figure 14. AS1360 - Typical Application Diagram
Power Dissipation
Power dissipation (PD) of the AS1360 is the sum of the power dissipated by the p-channel MOSFET and the quiescent current required to bias
the internal voltage reference and the internal power amplifier, and is calculated as:
PD (P-Channel MOSFET) = (V
IN
- V
OUT
)I
OUT
(EQ 1)
Internal power dissipation as a result of the bias current for the internal voltage reference and the error amplifier is calculated as:
PD (Bias) = V
IN
I
GND
(EQ 2)
Total AS1360 power dissipation is calculated as:
PD(Total) = PD (P-Channel MOSFET) + PD (Bias) (EQ 3)
The internal quiescent bias current (2µA, typ) is such that the PD(Bias) term of (EQ 3) can be disregarded and the maximum power dissipation
can be estimated using V
IN(MAX)
and V
OUT(MIN)
to obtain a maximum voltage differential between V
IN
and V
OUT
, and multiplying the maxi-
mum voltage differential by the maximum output current:
PD = (V
IN(MAX)
V
OUT(MIN)
)I
OUT(MAX)
(EQ 4)
Where:
V
IN
= 3.3 to 4.1V
V
OUT
= 3.0V ±2%
I
OUT
= 1 to 100mA
T
AMB(MAX)
= 55ºC
P
MAX
= (4.1V - (3.0V x 0.98)) x 100mA = 116.0mW
Junction Temperature
The AS1360 junction temperature (T
J
) can be determined by first calculating the thermal resistance from junction temperature-to-ambient tem-
perature.
Note: Thermal resistance is estimated to be the junction temperature-to-air temperature R
ΦJA
, and is approximately 230°C/W or 335ºC/W
(when mounted on 1 square inch of copper). R
ΦJA
will vary depending on PCB layout, air-flow and application specific conditions.
The AS1360 junction temperature is determined by calculating the rise in T
J
above T
AMB
, and then adding the increase of T
AMB
:
T
J
= P
D(MAX)
x R
Φ
JA
+ T
AMB
(EQ 5)
From (EQ 5), the value of T
J
can be calculated as:

= 116.0mW x 230ºC/W + 55ºC
Therefore:

= 81.68ºC

External Component Selection
Input Capacitor
In applications where input impedance is approximately 10Ω, a 1µF capacitor is sufficient for C
IN
(see Figure 14 on page 8).
In cases where the AS1360 is operated from a battery, or when there is significant distance between the input source to the AS1360, larger val-
ues for C
IN
may be required for output stability.
Note: For values of C
OUT
> 1µF, the value of C
IN
should be increased to prevent high source-impedance oscillations.
Output Capacitor
In most applications for the AS1360, a 1µF capacitor (ESR > 0.1Ω/< 5Ω, f
RES
> 1MHz) is sufficient for C
OUT
(see Figure 14 on page 8).
For improved power supply noise rejection and device transient response, larger values can be used for C
OUT
.
Note: For values of C
OUT
> 1µF, the input impedance must not be so large that it causes high-input impedance oscillations.
