GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AMS2501/AMS2502 series of adjustable and fixed low dropout voltage regulators are designed to provide 1A output
The
current. The dropout voltage of the device is 100mV at light loads and rising to 200mV at 500mA output current. A second
input voltage of 1.2V or greater than the output is required to achieve this dropout. The AMS2501/AMS2502 can also be used
as a single supply device by connecting pin1 and pin 8 together. In this case the dropout voltage will be typically 1.2V.
New features have been added to the AMS2501: a remote Sense pin is brought out virtually eliminating output voltage
variations due to load changes. AMS2502 has an additional feature of an On/Off pin to keep the device in stand-by mode.
The typical load regulation, measured at the Sense pin, for a load current step of 100mA to 1A is less than 1mV.
The AMS2501/AMS2502 series has fast transient response. On the AMS2502 the reference voltage is brought out to allow
the user to add a bypass capacitor for lower noise and transient response improvement.
The AMS2501/AMS2502 series are ideal for generating supplies of 1.25V to 3V where both 5V and 3.3V supplies are
available.
The AMS2501/AMS2502 devices are offered in 8 lead SOIC package.

Note 4:
For the adjustable device the minimum load current is the minimum current required to maintain regulation. Normally the current in the resistor divider
used to set the output voltage is selected to meet the minimum load current requirement.
Note 5:
The control pin current is the drive current required for the output transistor. This current will track output current with a ratio of about 1:100. The
minimum value is equal to the quiescent current of the device.
PIN FUNCTIONS
V
POWER
(Pin 1):
This pin is the collector to the power
device of the AMS2501/AMS2502. The output load
current is supplied through this pin. The voltage at this
pin must be between 0.1V and 0.8V greater than the
output voltage for the device to regulate.
Output (Pin 2 and 3):
These are the power output of the
device. Pin 2 and 3 are fused together and with the
package paddle serving also as heat sink.
Sense (Pin 4):
This pin is the positive side of the
reference voltage for the device. With this pin it is
possible to Kelvin sense the output voltage at the load.
On/Off (Pin 5 AMS2502 only):
This pin puts the device
in a stand-by mode.
Reference (Pin 7 AMS2502 only):
This pin allows the
user to add a bypass capacitor on the reference voltage.
Adjust (Pin 6):
This pin is the negative side of the
reference voltage for the device. Adding a small bypass
capacitor from the Adjust pin to ground improves the
transient response. For fixed voltage devices the Adjust
pin is also brought out to allow the user to add a bypass
capacitor.
GND (Pin 6):
For fixed voltage devices this is the
bottom of the resistor divider that sets the output
voltage.
V
CONTROL
(Pin 8):
This pin is the supply pin for the
control circuitry of the device. The current flow into
this pin will be about 1% of the output current. The
voltage at this pin must be between 1.0V and 1.3V
greater than the output voltage for the device to
regulate.

AMS2501/AMS2502
APPLICATION HINTS
The AMS2501/AMS2502 series of adjustable and fixed
regulators is designed to make use of multiple power supplies,
existing in most systems, to reduce the dropout voltage. One of
the advantages of the two supply approach is maximizing the
efficiency.
The second supply is at least 1.2V greater than output voltage and
is providing the power for the control circuitry and supplies the
drive current to the NPN output transistor. This allows the NPN
to be driven into saturation; thereby reducing the dropout voltage
by a V
BE
compared to conventional designs. For the control
voltage the current requirement is small, equal to about 1% of the
output current or approximately 10mA for a 1A load. Most of this
current is drive current for the NPN output transistor. This drive
current becomes part of the output current. The maximum voltage
on the Control pin is 13V. The maximum voltage at the Power
pin is 7V. Ground pin current for fixed voltage devices is typical
6mA and is constant as a function of load. Adjust pin current for
adjustable devices is 40µA at 25°C and varies proportional to
absolute temperature.
The improved frequency compensation of AMS2501/AMS2502
permits the use of capacitors with very low ESR. Output voltage
tolerances are tighter and include transient response as part of the
specification. Designed to meet the fast current load step, the
AMS2501/AMS2502 also saves total cost by needing less output
capacitance to maintain regulation.
Careful design of the AMS2501/AMS2502 has eliminated any
supply sequencing issues associated with a dual supply system.
The output voltage will not turn on until both supplies are
operating. If the control voltage comes up first, the output current
will be limited to a few milliamperes until the power input
voltage comes up. If power input comes up first the output will
not turn on at all until the control voltage comes up. The output
can never come up unregulated. By tying the control and power
inputs together the AMS2501/AMS2502 can also be operated as a
single supply device. In single supply operation the dropout will
be determined by the minimum control voltage.
Both the fixed and adjustable versions have remote sense pins,
permitting very accurate regulation of output voltage at the load,
rather than at the regulator. As a result, over an output current
range of 100mA to 1A with a 2.5V output, the typical load
regulation is less than 1mV. For AMS2502 the reference voltage
is brought out to pin 7, allowing the user to improve transient
response by bypassing the internal resistor divider. Optimum
transient response is provided using a capacitor in the range of
0.1µF to 1µF for bypassing the Reference pin. The value chosen
will depend on the amount of output capacitance in the system.
This devices can hold 1% accuracy over the full temperature
range and load current range, guaranteed, when combined with
ratiometrically accurate internal divider resistors and operating
with an input/output differential of well under 1V.
Typical applications for the AMS2501/AMS2502 include 3.3V to
2.5V conversion with a 5V control supply, 5V to 4.2V conversion
with a 12V control supply or 5V to 3.6V conversion with a 12V
control supply. Capable of 1A of output current with a maximum
dropout of 0.8V the AMS2501/AMS2502 also has a fast transient
response that allows it to handle large current changes. The
device is fully protected against overcurrent and overtemperature
conditions.
Grounding and Output Sensing
The AMS2501/AMS2502 allows true Kelvin sensing for both the
high and low side of the load. As a result the voltage regulation at
he load can be easily optimized. Voltage drops due to parasitic
resistances between the regulator and the load can be placed
inside the regulation loop of the AMS2501/AMS2502. The
advantages of remote sensing are illustrated in figures 1 through
3.
Figure 1 shows the device connected as a conventional 3 terminal
regulator with the Sense lead connected directly to the output of
the device. R
P
is the parasitic resistance of the connections
between the device and the load. R
P
is made up of the PCB traces
and /or connector resistances (in the case of a modular regulator)
between the regulator and the load. Trace A of figure 3 illustrates
the effect of R
P
. Very small resistances cause significant load
regulation steps.
Figure 2 shows the device connected to take advantage of the
remote sense feature. The Sense pin and the top of the resistor
divider are connected to the top of the load; the bottom of the
resistor divider is connected to the bottom of the load. R
P
is now
connected inside the regulation loop of the AMS2501/AMS2502
and for reasonable values of R
P
the load regulation at the load
will be negligible. The effect on output regulation can be seen in
trace B of figure 3.

Some of the loads generate large high frequency current
transients. The load current step contains higher order frequency
components than the output coupling network must handle until
the regulator throttles to the load current level. Because they
contain parasitic resistance and inductance, capacitors are not
ideal elements. These parasitic elements dominate the change in
output voltage at the beginning of a transient load step change.
The ESR of the output capacitors produces an instantaneous step
in output voltage (∆V=∆I)(ESR). The ESL of the output
capacitors produces a droop proportional to the rate of change of
the output current (V= L)(∆I/∆t). The output capacitance
produces a change in output voltage proportional to the time until
the regulator can respond (∆V=∆t) (∆I/C). Figure 4 illustrates
these transient effects.

Voltage drops due to R

are not eliminated; they will add to the
dropout voltage of the regulator regardless of whether they are
inside or outside the regulation loop. The AMS2501/AMS2502
can control the voltage at the load as long as the input-output
voltage is greater than the total of the dropout voltage of the
device plus the voltage drop across R
P
.
Stability
The circuit design used in the AMS2501/AMS2502 series
requires the use of an output capacitor as part of the device
frequency compensation. The addition of
150
µF
aluminum
electrolytic or a 22µF solid tantalum on the output will ensure
stability for all operating conditions. For best frequency response
use capacitors with an ESR of less than 1Ω.
In order to increase the transient response larger value capacitors
are needed. To limit the high frequency noise generated by the
load high quality bypass capacitors must be used. In order to limit
parasitic inductance (ESL) and resistance (ESR) in the capacitors
to acceptable limits, multiple small ceramic capacitors in addition
to high quality solid tantalum capacitors are required.
When the adjustment terminal is bypassed to improve the ripple
rejection, the requirement for an output capacitor increases. The
reference voltage is brought out specifically to allow this
capability.
The AMS2501/AMS2502 series develops a 1.25V reference
voltage between the Sense pin and the Adjust pin (Figure5).
Placing a resistor between these two terminals causes a constant
current to flow through R1 and down through R2 to set the
overall output voltage. In general R1 is chosen so that this current
is the specified minimum load current of 10mA.The current out
of the Adjust pin is small, typically 40µA and it adds to the
current from R1. Because I
ADJ
is very small it needs to be
considered only when very precise output voltage setting is
required. For best regulation the top of the resistor divider should
be connected directly to the Sense pin.
