AAT3258
300mA LDO Linear Regulator with µP Reset
General Description
The AAT3258 combines a high performance, low
noise, 300mA low dropout (LDO) linear regulator
with a microprocessor reset monitor. The 300mA
output capability of the LDO regulator makes this
device ideal for use with microprocessors and DSP
cores in portable products. The microprocessor
reset monitor section has very low quiescent cur-
rent consumption and has an active low reset out-
put. The AAT3258 has separate input pins for the
reset monitor and LDO regulator so they may be
operated from independent sources for increased
design flexibility. This device features very low qui-
escent current, typically less than 71µA.
The LDO regulator has low dropout voltage, typical-
ly 400mV at the full output current level, making it
ideal for portable applications where extended bat-
tery life is critical. The AAT3258 LDO regulator sec-
tion has complete over-current/short-circuit and
over-temperature protection circuits to guard against
extreme operating conditions. The device also has
an active output pull down function when disabled.
The AAT3258 is available in a Pb-free, space-sav-
ing 8-pin TSOPJW package. This device is capa-
ble of operation over a -40°C to +85°C temperature
range.

Function
LDO voltage regulator input pin. This pin should be decoupled with 1µF or
greater capacitor. See application information.
LDO voltage regulator shutdown pin. This pin should not be left floating.
When connected low, all the internal circuitry is powered down. When high, it
is in normal operation.
Microprocessor reset input power supply pin. It may be connected to V
IN
.
Manual reset active low input. A logic low signal on MR asserts a reset condi-
tion. Asserted reset continues as long as MR is low and for a minimum of
150ms after MR returns high.
Reset output remains low while V
DET
is below the reset threshold and remains
so for a minimum of 150ms after V
DET
rises above the reset threshold.
Ground connection pin.
LDO voltage regulator bypass capacitor connection. To improve AC ripple
rejection and decrease LDO regulator self noise, connect a 10nF ceramic
capacitor between this pin and GND.
LDO voltage regulator output pin; should be decoupled with a 2.2µF or
greater value low ESR ceramic capacitor.
