GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AMS500 series consists of positive fixed and adjustable voltage regulators ideally suited for use in battery-powered systems.
These devices feature very low quiescent current of 0.8mA or less when supplying 50mA loads. This unique characteristic and the
low input-output differential required for proper regulation (0.2V for output currents of 100mA) make the AMS500 ideal to use
for standby power systems.
Internal circuitry of AMS500 is protected from input fault conditions caused by input voltages that exceed maximum rated input
voltage. During line transients, when the input voltage to the regulator can momentarily exceed the specified maximum operating
voltage, the regulator will automatically shut down to protect both internal circuits and the load. The AMS500 series also includes
internal current limiting, thermal shutdown.
The AMS500 is offered in 3 lead TO-92, SOT-89, SOT-223 and 5 leads SOT-23 packages.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. For guaranteed performance limits and associated test conditions,
see the Electrical Characteristics tables.
Note 2:
To ensure constant junction temperature, low duty cycle pulse testing is used.
Note 3:
Limits appearing in
boldface
type apply over the entire junction temperature range for operation. Limits appearing in normal type apply for T
A
= T
J
=
25°C.
Note 4:
The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature T
J
(MAX), the junction-to ambient thermal resistance
θ
J-A
and the ambient temperature TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated using:
P(MAX)
=
T
J
(MAX) - T
A
θ
J - A
Where the value of the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance are as follows: 195°C/W for TO-92 (N), 110°C/W for SOT-89 (L), 90°C/W for SOT-223 and
220°C/W for 5 lead SOT-23.
