Figure 2. ADP7104 with Adjustable Output Voltage, 5 V
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP7104 is a CMOS, low dropout linear regulator that oper-
ates from 3.3 V to 20 V and provides up to 500 mA of output
current. This high input voltage LDO is ideal for regulation of
high performance analog and mixed signal circuits operating
from 19 V to 1.22 V rails. Using an advanced proprietary archi-
tecture, it provides high power supply rejection, low noise, and
achieves excellent line and load transient response with just a
small 1 µF ceramic output capacitor.
The ADP7104 is available in seven fixed output voltage options
and an adjustable version, which allows output voltages that range
from 1.22 V to VIN − VDO via an external feedback divider.
The ADP7104 output noise voltage is 15 μV rms and is inde-
pendent of the output voltage. A digital power-good output
allows power system monitors to check the health of the output
voltage. A user programmable precision undervoltage lockout
function facilitates sequencing of multiple power supplies.
The ADP7104 is available in 8-lead, 3 mm × 3 mm LFCSP
and 8-lead SOIC packages. The LFCSP offers a very compact
solution and also provides excellent thermal performance for
applications requiring up to 500 mA of output current in a
small, low-profile footprint.

2 Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to-output voltage differential when the input voltage is set to the nominal output voltage. This applies only for output
voltages above 3.0 V.
3 Start-up time is defined as the time between the rising edge of EN to VOUT being at 90% of its nominal value.
4 Current limit threshold is defined as the current at which the output voltage drops to 90% of the specified typical value. For example, the current limit for a 5.0 V
output voltage is defined as the current that causes the output voltage to drop to 90% of 5.0 V, or 4.5 V.

Stresses at or above those listed under Absolute Maximum
Ratings may cause permanent damage to the product. This is a
stress rating only; functional operation of the product at these
or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Operation beyond
the maximum operating conditions for extended periods may
affect product reliability.
THERMAL DATA
Absolute maximum ratings apply individually only, not in
combination. The ADP7104 can be damaged when the junction
temperature limit is exceeded. Monitoring ambient temperature
does not guarantee that TJ is within the specified temperature
limits. In applications with high power dissipation and poor
thermal resistance, the maximum ambient temperature may
have to be derated.
In applications with moderate power dissipation and low PCB
thermal resistance, the maximum ambient temperature can
exceed the maximum limit as long as the junction temperature
is within specification limits. The junction temperature (TJ) of
the device is dependent on the ambient temperature (TA), the
power dissipation of the device (PD), and the junction-to-ambient
thermal resistance of the package (θJA).
Maximum junction temperature (TJ) is calculated from the
ambient temperature (TA) and power dissipation (PD) using the
formula
TJ = TA + (PD × θJA)
Junction-to-ambient thermal resistanceJA) of the package is
based on modeling and calculation using a 4-layer board. The
junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is highly dependent on
the application and board layout. In applications where high
maximum power dissipation exists, close attention to thermal
board design is required. The value of θJA may vary, depending
on PCB material, layout, and environmental conditions. The
specified values of θJA are based on a 4-layer, 4 in. × 3 in. circuit
board. See JESD51-7 and JESD51-9 for detailed information on
the board construction. For additional information, see the
AN-617 Application Note, MicroCSP Wafer Level Chip Scale
Package, available at www.analog.com.
ΨJB is the junction-to-board thermal characterization parameter
with units of °C/W. The packages ΨJB is based on modeling and
calculation using a 4-layer board. The JESD51-12, Guidelines for
Reporting and Using Electronic Package Thermal Information,
states that thermal characterization parameters are not the same
as thermal resistances. ΨJB measures the component power
flowing through multiple thermal paths rather than a single
path as in thermal resistance, θJB. Therefore, ΨJB thermal paths
include convection from the top of the package as well as
radiation from the package, factors that make ΨJB more useful
in real-world applications. Maximum junction temperature (TJ)
is calculated from the board temperature (TB) and power
dissipation (PD) using the formula
TJ = TB + (PD × ΨJB)
See JESD51-8 and JESD51-12 for more detailed information
about ΨJB.
THERMAL RESISTANCE
θJA and ΨJB are specified for the worst-case conditions, that is, a
device soldered in a circuit board for surface-mount packages. θJC
is a parameter for surface-mount packages with top mounted
heatsinks. θJC is presented here for reference only.

1 VOUT Regulated Output Voltage. Bypass VOUT to GND with a 1 μF or greater capacitor.
2 SENSE/ADJ
Sense (SENSE). Measures the actual output voltage at the load and feeds it to the error amplifier.
Connect SENSE as close as possible to the load to minimize the effect of IR drop between the
regulator output and the load. This function applies to fixed voltages only.
Adjust Input (ADJ). An external resistor divider sets the output voltage. This function applies to
adjustable voltages only.
3 GND Ground.
4 NC Do Not Connect to this Pin.
5 EN/UVLO
Enable Input (EN). Drive EN high to turn on the regulator; drive EN low to turn off the regulator.
For automatic startup, connect EN to VIN.
Programmable Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO). When the programmable UVLO function is used,
the upper and lower thresholds are determined by the programming resistors.
6 GND Ground.
7 PG Power Good. This open-drain output requires an external pull-up resistor to VIN or VOUT. If the
part is in shutdown, current limit, thermal shutdown, or falls below 90% of the nominal output
voltage, PG immediately transitions low. If the power-good function is not used, the pin may be
left open or connected to ground.
8 VIN Regulator Input Supply. Bypass VIN to GND with a 1 μF or greater capacitor.
EPAD
Exposed Pad. Exposed paddle on the bottom of the package. The EPAD enhances thermal
performance and is electrically connected to GND inside the package. It is highly recommended
that the EPAD be connected to the ground plane on the board.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADP7104 is a low quiescent current, low-dropout linear
regulator that operates from 3.3 V to 20 V and provides up to
500 mA of output current. Drawing a low 1 mA of quiescent
current (typical) at full load makes the ADP7104 ideal for
battery-operated portable equipment. Typical shutdown
current consumption is 40 μA at room temperature.
Optimized for use with small 1 µF ceramic capacitors, the
ADP7104 provides excellent transient performance.

Figure 60. Adjustable Output Voltage Internal Block Diagram
Internally, the ADP7104 consists of a reference, an error amplifier, a
feedback voltage divider, and a PMOS pass transistor. Output
current is delivered via the PMOS pass device, which is controlled
by the error amplifier. The error amplifier compares the reference
voltage with the feedback voltage from the output and amplifies
the difference. If the feedback voltage is lower than the reference
voltage, the gate of the PMOS device is pulled lower, allowing
more current to pass and increasing the output voltage. If the
feedback voltage is higher than the reference voltage, the gate
of the PMOS device is pulled higher, allowing less current to
pass and decreasing the output voltage.
The ADP7104 is available in seven fixed output voltage options,
ranging from 1.5 V to 9 V and in an adjustable version with an
output voltage that can be set to between 1.22 V and 19 V by an
external voltage divider. The output voltage can be set according
to the following equation:
VOUT = 1.22 V(1 + R1/R2)
VOUT = 5V
VIN = 8V

Figure 61. Typical Adjustable Output Voltage Application Schematic
The value of R2 should be less than 200 kΩ to minimize errors
in the output voltage caused by the ADJ pin input current. For
example, when R1 and R2 each equal 200 kΩ, the output voltage
is 2.44 V. The output voltage error introduced by the ADJ pin input
current is 2 mV or 0.08%, assuming a typical ADJ pin input
current of 10 nA at 25°C.
The ADP7104 uses the EN/UVLO pin to enable and disable
the VOUT pin under normal operating conditions. When
EN/UVLO is high, VOUT turns on, when EN is low, VOUT
turns off. For automatic startup, EN/UVLO can be tied to VIN.
The ADP7104 incorporates reverse current protections circuitry
that prevents current flow backwards through the pass element
when the output voltage is greater than the input voltage. A
comparator senses the difference between the input and output
voltages. When the difference between the input voltage and
output voltage exceeds 55 mV, the body of the PFET is switched
to VOUT and turned off or opened. In other words, the gate is
connected to VOUT.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
CAPACITOR SELECTION
Output Capacitor
The ADP7104 is designed for operation with small, space-saving
ceramic capacitors but functions with most commonly used
capacitors as long as care is taken with regard to the effective series
resistance (ESR) value. The ESR of the output capacitor affects the
stability of the LDO control loop. A minimum of 1 µF capacitance
with an ESR of 1 Ω or less is recommended to ensure the stability
of the ADP7104. Transient response to changes in load current is
also affected by output capacitance. Using a larger value of output
capacitance improves the transient response of the ADP7104 to
large changes in load current. Figure 62 shows the transient
responses for an output capacitance value of 1 µF.

the circuit sensitivity to printed circuit board (PCB) layout,
especially when long input traces or high source impedance
are encountered. If greater than 1 µF of output capacitance is
required, the input capacitor should be increased to match it.
Input and Output Capacitor Properties
Any good quality ceramic capacitors can be used with the
ADP7104, as long as they meet the minimum capacitance and
maximum ESR requirements. Ceramic capacitors are manufac-
tured with a variety of dielectrics, each with different behavior
over temperature and applied voltage. Capacitors must have a
dielectric adequate to ensure the minimum capacitance over
the necessary temperature range and dc bias conditions. X5R
or X7R dielectrics with a voltage rating of 6.3 V to 25 V are
recommended. Y5V and Z5U dielectrics are not recommended,
due to their poor temperature and dc bias characteristics.
Figure 63 depicts the capacitance vs. voltage bias characteristic
of an 0402, 1 µF, 10 V, X5R capacitor. The voltage stability of a
capacitor is strongly influenced by the capacitor size and voltage
rating. In general, a capacitor in a larger package or higher voltage
rating exhibits better stability. The temperature variation of the
X5R dielectric is ~±15% over the −40°C to +85°C temperature
range and is not a function of package or voltage rating.

Figure 63. Capacitance vs. Voltage Characteristic
Use Equation 1 to determine the worst-case capacitance accounting
for capacitor variation over temperature, component tolerance,
and voltage.
CEFF = CBIAS × (1 − TEMPCO) × (1 − TOL) (1)
where:
CBIAS is the effective capacitance at the operating voltage.
TEMPCO is the worst-case capacitor temperature coefficient.
TOL is the worst-case component tolerance.
In this example, the worst-case temperature coefficient (TEMPCO)
over −40°C to +8C is assumed to be 15% for an X5R dielectric.
The tolerance of the capacitor (TOL) is assumed to be 10%, and
CBIAS is 0.94 μF at 1.8 V, as shown in Figure 63.
Substituting these values in Equation 1 yields
CEFF = 0.94 μF × (1 − 0.15) × (1 − 0.1) = 0.719 μF
Therefore, the capacitor chosen in this example meets the
minimum capacitance requirement of the LDO overtemper-
ature and tolerance at the chosen output voltage.
To guarantee the performance of the ADP7104, it is imperative
that the effects of dc bias, temperature, and tolerances on the
behavior of the capacitors be evaluated for each application.

PROGRAMMABLE UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
(UVLO)
The ADP7104 uses the EN/UVLO pin to enable and disable the
VOUT pin under normal operating conditions. As shown in
Figure 64, when a rising voltage on EN crosses the upper threshold,
VOUT turns on. When a falling voltage on EN/ UVLO crosses
the lower threshold, VOUT turns off. The hysteresis of the
EN/UVLO threshold is determined by the Thevenin equivalent
resistance in series with the EN/UVLO pin.

Figure 64. Typical VOUT Response to EN Pin Operation
The upper and lower thresholds are user programmable and can
be set using two resistors. When the EN/UVLO pin voltage is
below 1.22 V, the LDO is disabled. When the EN/UVLO pin
voltage transitions above 1.22 V, the LDO is enabled and 10 µA
hysteresis current is sourced out the pin raising the voltage, thus
providing threshold hysteresis. Typically, two external resistors
program the minimum operational voltage for the LDO. The
resistance values, R1 and R2 can be determined from:
R1 = VHYS/10 μA
R2 = 1.22 V × R1/(VIN − 1.22 V)
where:
VIN is the desired turn-on voltage.
VHYS is the desired EN/UVLO hysteresis level.
Hysteresis can also be achieved by connecting a resistor in
series with EN/UVLO pin. For the example shown in Figure 65,
the enable threshold is 2.44 V with a hysteresis of 1 V.

Figure 64 shows the typical hysteresis of the EN/UVLO pin.
This prevents on/off oscillations that can occur due to noise
on the EN pin as it passes through the threshold points.
The ADP7104 uses an internal soft-start to limit the inrush current
when the output is enabled. The start-up time for the 3.3 V option
is approximately 580 μs from the time the EN active threshold is
crossed to when the output reaches 90% of its final value. As
shown in Figure 66, the start-up time is dependent on the
output voltage setting.

POWER-GOOD FEATURE
The ADP7104 provides a power-good pin (PG) to indicate
the status of the output. This open-drain output requires an
external pull-up resistor to VIN or VOUT. If the part is in
shutdown mode, current-limit mode, or thermal shutdown, or
if it falls below 90% of the nominal output voltage, the power-
good pin (PG) immediately transitions low. During soft-start,
the rising threshold of the power-good signal is 93.5% of the
nominal output voltage.
The open-drain output is held low when the ADP7104 has suffi-
cient input voltage to turn on the internal PG transistor. The PG
transistor is terminated via a pull-up resistor to VOUT or VIN.
Power-good accuracy is 93.5% of the nominal regulator output
voltage when this voltage is rising, with a 90% trip point when
this voltage is falling. Regulator input voltage brownouts or
glitches trigger power no good signals if VOUT falls below 90%.
A normal power-down causes the power-good signal to go low
when VOUT drops below 90%.
Figure 67 and Figure 68 show the typical power-good rising and
falling threshold over temperature.

NOISE REDUCTION OF THE ADJUSTABLE ADP7104
The ultralow output noise of the fixed output ADP7104 is
achieved by keeping the LDO error amplifier in unity gain
and setting the reference voltage equal to the output voltage.
This architecture does not work for an adjustable output
voltage LDO. The adjustable output ADP7104 uses the more
conventional architecture where the reference voltage is fixed
and the error amplifier gain is a function of the output voltage.
The disadvantage of the conventional LDO architecture is that
the output voltage noise is proportional to the output voltage.
The adjustable LDO circuit may be modified slightly to reduce
the output voltage noise to levels close to that of the fixed
output ADP7104. The circuit shown in Figure 69 adds two
additional components to the output voltage setting resistor
divider. CNR and RNR are added in parallel with RFB1 to reduce
the ac gain of the error amplifier. RNR is chosen to be equal to
RFB2, this limits the ac gain of the error amplifier to approxi-
mately 6 dB. The actual gain is the parallel combination of RNR
and RFB1 divided by RFB2. This ensures that the error amplifier
always operates at greater than unity gain.
CNR is chosen by setting the reactance of CNR equal to RFB1
RNR at a frequency between 50 Hz and 100 Hz. This sets the
frequency where the ac gain of the error amplifier is 3 dB
down from its dc gain.

CURRENT LIMIT AND THERMAL OVERLOAD
PROTECTION
The ADP7104 is protected against damage due to excessive
power dissipation by current and thermal overload protection
circuits. The ADP7104 is designed to current limit when the
output load reaches 600 mA (typical). When the output load
exceeds 600 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/or
high 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
135°C, the output is turned on again, and output current is
restored to its operating value.
Consider the case where a hard short from VOUT to ground
occurs. At first, the ADP7104 current limits, so that only 600 mA
is conducted into the short. If self heating of the junction is
great enough to cause its temperature to rise above 150°C,
thermal shutdown activates, turning off the output and reducing
the output current to zero. As the junction temperature cools
and drops below 135°C, the output turns on and conducts
600 mA into the short, again causing the junction temperature
to rise above 150°C. This thermal oscillation between 135°C
and 150°C causes a current oscillation between 600 mA and
0 mA that continues as long as the short remains at the output.
Current and thermal limit protections are intended to protect
the device against accidental overload conditions. For reliable
operation, device power dissipation must be externally limited
so the junction temperature does not exceed 125°C.
THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
In applications with low input-to-output voltage differential, the
ADP7104 does not dissipate much heat. However, in applications
with high ambient temperature and/or high input voltage, the
heat dissipated in the package may become large enough that
it causes the junction temperature of the die to exceed the
maximum junction temperature of 125°C.
When the junction temperature exceeds 150°C, the converter
enters thermal shutdown. It recovers only after the junction
temperature has decreased below 135°C to prevent any permanent
damage. Therefore, thermal analysis for the chosen application
is very important to guarantee reliable performance over all
conditions. The junction temperature of the die is the sum of
the ambient temperature of the environment and the tempera-
ture rise of the package due to the power dissipation, as shown
in Equation 2.
To guarantee reliable operation, the junction temperature of
the ADP7104 must not exceed 125°C. To ensure that the
junction temperature stays below this maximum value, the
user must be aware of the parameters that contribute to
junction temperature changes. These parameters include
ambient temperature, power dissipation in the power device,
and thermal resistances between the junction and ambient air
JA). The θJA number is dependent on the package assembly
compounds that are used and the amount of copper used to
solder the package GND pins to the PCB.
Table 6 shows typical θJA values of the 8-lead SOIC and 8-lead
LFCSP packages for various PCB copper sizes. Table 7 shows
the typical ΨJB values of the 8-lead SOIC and 8-l e a d L F C SP.

The junction temperature of the ADP7104 is calculated from the
following equation:
TJ = TA + (PD × θJA) (2)
where:
TA is the ambient temperature.
PD is the power dissipation in the die, given by
PD = [(VIN VOUT) × ILOAD] + (VIN × IGND) (3)
where:
ILOAD is the load current.
IGND is the ground current.
VIN and VOUT are input and output voltages, respectively.
Power dissipation due to ground current is quite small and can
be ignored. Therefore, the junction temperature equation
simplifies to the following:
TJ = TA + {[(VIN VOUT) × ILOAD] × θJA} (4)
As shown in Equation 4, for a given ambient temperature, input-
to-output voltage differential, and continuous load current,
there exists a minimum copper size requirement for the PCB
to ensure that the junction temperature does not rise above 125°C.
Figure 70 to Figure 77 show junction temperature calculations
for different ambient temperatures, power dissipation, and areas
of PCB copper.

In the case where the board temperature is known, use the
thermal characterization parameter, ΨJB, to estimate the
junction temperature rise (see Figure 76 and Figure 77).
Maximum junction temperature (TJ) is calculated from
the board temperature (TB) and power dissipation (PD)
using the following formula:
TJ = TB + (PD × ΨJB) (5)
The typical value of ΨJB is 15.1°C/W for the 8-lead LFCSP package

PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Heat dissipation from the package can be improved by increasing
the amount of copper attached to the pins of the ADP7104.
However, as listed in Table 6, a point of diminishing returns
is eventually reached, beyond which an increase in the copper
size does not yield significant heat dissipation benefits.
Place the input capacitor as close as possible to the VIN and
GND pins. Place the output capacitor as close as possible to the
VOUT and GND pins. Use of 0805 or 0603 size capacitors and
resistors achieves the smallest possible footprint solution on
boards where area is limited.
