General Description
APE1086 is a low dropout positive adjustable or
fixed-mode regulator with minimum of 1.5A output
current capability. The product is specifically
designed to provide well-regulated supply for low
voltage IC applications such as high-speed bus
termination and low current 3.3V logic supply.
APE1086 is also well suited for other applications
such as VGA cards. APE1086 is guaranteed to have
<1.4V dropout at full load current making it ideal to
provide well-regulated outputs of 1.25V to 5.0V with
4.7 to 12V input supply by different output voltage.

Vout O 2
The output of the regulator. A minimum of 10uF capacitor must be
connected from this pin to ground to insure stability.
Vin I 3
The input pin of regulator. Typically a large storage capacitor is
connected from this pin to ground to insure that the input voltage does
not sag below the minimum dropout voltage during the load transient
response. This pin must always be 1.4V higher than Vout in order for
the device to regulate properly.

Note 1: See thermal regulation specifications for changes in output voltage due to heating effects. Line and load regulation are measured at a constant
junction temperature by low duty cycle pulse testing. Load regulation is measured at the output lead = 1/18” from the package.
Note 2:Line and load regulation are guaranteed up to the maximum power dissipation of 15W. Power dissipation is determined by the difference in input and
output and the output current. Guaranteed maximum power dissipation will not be available over the full input/output range.
Note 3:Quiescent current is defined as the minimum output current required in maintaining regulation. At 12V input/output differential the device is
guaranteed to regulate if the output current is greater than 10mA.

Functional Description
Introduction
The APE1086 adjustable or fixed-mode Low Dropout
(LDO) regulator is a 3 terminal device which can
easily be programmed by internal mask change to
any voltages within the range of 1.25V to Vin-1.4V.
The APE1086 only needs 1.4V differential between
Vin and Vout to maintain output regulation. In
addition, the output voltage tolerances are also
extremely tight and they include the transient
response as part of the specification. For example,
Intel VRE specification calls for a total of +/- 100mV
including initial tolerance, load regulation and 0 to
1.5A load step.
The APE1086 is specifically designed to meet the
fast current transient needs as well as providing an
accurate initial voltage, reducing the overall system
cost with the need for fewer output capacitors.
Load Regulation
Since the APE1086 is only a 3 terminal device, it is
not possible to provide true remote sensing of the
output voltage at the load. But it can supply good
load regulation by internal feedback bypass the
external loss such as adjustable mode.
Stability
The APE1086 requires the use of an output capacitor
as part of the frequency compensation in order to
make the regulator stable. For most applications a
minimum of 10uF aluminum electrolytic capacitor
insures both stability and good transient response.
Thermal Design
The APE1086 incorporates an internal thermal
shutdown that protects the device when the junction
temperature exceeds the maximum allowable
junction temperature. Although this device can
operate with junction temperatures in the range of
150oC, it is recommended that the selected heat
sink be chosen such that during maximum
continuous load operation the junction temperature
is kept below the temperature.
Layout Consideration
The output capacitors must be located as close to
the Vout terminal of the device as possible. It is
recommended to use a section of a layer of the PC
board as a plane to connect the Vout pin to the
output capacitors to prevent any high frequency
oscillation that may result due to excessive trace
inductance.
