General Description
The APL5317 is a low dropout linear regulator which only
needs a single input voltage supply from 2.8 to 6V, and it
can deliver current up to 300mA to a set output voltage. It
can work with low ESR ceramic capacitors that make it
ideal for using in the battery-powered applications, such
as notebook computers and cellular phones. Its typical
dropout voltage is only 230mV at 300mA loading. The
APL5317 provides two output voltage operation modes,
the fixed output voltage mode and the adjustable output
voltage, controlled by the SET pin for setting the output
voltage. The fixed output voltage mode sets the output to
a preset voltage (only 1.2V available now) in the chip by
connecting SET pin to the ground, and the adjustable
output voltage mode needs two resistors as a voltage
divider connected to SET pin to define the output. The
current-limit with current foldback and thermal shutdown
functions protect the device against current over-loads
and over temperature. The APL5317 is available in a SOT-
23-5 package.

Function Description
+=R2
R1
10.8 VOUT
Where R1 is connected from VOUT to SET with Kelvin
sensing and R2 is connected from SET to GND. The rec-
ommended value of R2 is in the range of 100 to 100k.
An error amplifier works with a temperature compensated
0.8V reference and an output PMOS regulates the output
to the presetting voltage. The error amplifier is designed
with high bandwidth and DC gain provides very fast tran-
sient response and less load regulation. It compares the
reference with the feedback voltage and amplifies the dif-
ference to drive the output PMOS which provides load
current from VIN to VOUT.
Internal Soft-Start
An internal soft-start function controls rising rate of the
output voltage to limit the surge current at start-up. The
typical soft-start interval is about 80µs.
Output Voltage Regulation
The APL5317 can work in either fixed or adjustable mode
by connecting the SET to GND or a resistor-divider which
receives the feedback voltage of the regulator. The output
voltage set by the resistor-divider is determined by:
Thermal Shutdown
A thermal shutdown circuit limits the junction tempera-
ture of APL5317. When the junction temperature exceeds
+160οC, a thermal sensor turns off the output PMOS, al-
lowing the device to cool down. The regulator regulates
the output again through initiation of a new soft-start cycle
after the junction temperature is cooled by 40οC.The ther-
mal shutdown is designed with a 40οC hysteresis to lower
the average junction temperature during continuous ther-
mal overload conditions, extending lifetime of the device.
For normal operation, device power dissipation should
be externally limited, so that junction temperature will not
exceed 125οC.
Under-Voltage Lock Out (UVLO)
The APL5317 monitors the input voltage to prevent wrong
logic control. The UVLO function initiates a soft-start pro-
cess after input voltage exceeds its rising UVLO thresh-
old during power on. The UVLO function also shuts off
the output when the input voltage falls below its falling
threshold. Typical UVLO hysteresis voltage is 0.8V.
Shutdown Control
The APL5317 has an active-low shutdown function. Force
SHDN high (>1.6V) enables the VOUT; force SHDN low
(<0.4V) disables the VOUT. SHDN is internally pulled low
by a resistor (3M typical). If SHDN is not used, it will
connect to VIN for normal operation.

Application Information
Input Capacitor
The APL5317 needs a proper output capacitor to main-
tain circuit stability and improve transient response over
temperature and current. In order to insure the circuit
stability, the proper output capacitor value should be larger
than 2.2µF. With X5R and X7R dielectrics, 2.2µF is suffi-
cient at all operating temperatures. Large output capaci-
tor value can reduce noise and improve load-transient
response and PSRR, however, it also affects power on
issue. Equation (1) shows the relationship between the
maximum COUT value and VOUT.
Where the unit of COUT is µF and VOUT is V, Figure 1 shows
the curve of maximum output capacitor over the output
voltage. The output voltage range is from 0.8 to 5.5V and
the output capacitor value should be under the line. Out-
put capacitors must be placed at the load and the ground
pin as close as possible and the impedance of the layout
must be minimized.
The APL5317 maximum power dissipation depends on
the thermal resistance and temperature difference be-
tween the die junction and ambient air. The power dissi-
pation PD across the device is:
PD = (TJ - TA) / θJA
where (TJ-TA) is the temperature difference between the
junction and ambient air. θJA is the thermal resistance
between junction and ambient air. Assuming the TA=25oC
and maximum TJ=160oC (typical thermal limit threshold),
the maximum power dissipation is calculated as:
PD(max)=(160-25)/240
= 0.56(W)
For normal operation, do not exceed the maximum junc-
tion temperature rating of TJ = 125 oC. The calculated
power dissipation should less than:
PD =(125-25)/240
= 0.41(W)
The GND provides an electrical connection to ground and
channels heat away. Connect the GND to the ground by
using a large pad or a ground plane.
Figure 2 illustrates the layout. Below is a checklist for
your layout:
1. Please place the input capacitors close to the VIN.
2. Ceramic capacitors for load must be placed near
the load as close as possible.
3. To place APL5317 and output capacitors near the
load is good for performance.
4. Large current paths, the bold lines in figure 2,
must have wide tracks.
5. Divider resistor R1 and R2 must be placed near
the SET as close as possible.
The APL5317 requires proper input capacitors to supply
surge current during stepping load transients to prevent
the input rail from dropping. Because the parasitic induc-
tor from the voltage sources or other bulk capacitors to
the VIN limit the slew rate of the surge current, place the
Input capacitors near VIN as close as possible. Input ca-
pacitors should be larger than 1µF and a minimum ce-
ramic capacitor of 1µF is necessary.
