1 . 5 A C M O S L o w D ro p o u t Vo l t ag e R e g u l a t o r
The GJ2138 series of positive, linear regulators feature low quiescent current (45 A typ.) with low dropout
voltage, making them ideal for battery applications.
These rugged devices have both Thermal Shutdown, and Current Fold-back to prevent device failure under
the “Worst” of operating conditions.
The GJ2138 is stable with an output capacitance of 4.7 F or greater.

The GJ2138 series of COMS regulators contain a PMOS pass transistor, voltage reference, error amplifier,
over-current protection, and thermal shutdown.
The P-channel pass transistor receives data from the error amplifier, over-current shutdown, and thermal
protection circuits. During normal operation, the error amplifier compares the output voltage to a precision
reference. Over-current and Thermal shutdown circuits become active when the junction temperature exceeds
150 : , or the current exceeds 2.2A. During thermal shutdown, the output voltage remains low. Normal
operation is restored when the junction temperature drops below 120 : .
The GJ2138 behaves like a current source when the load reaches 2.2A. However, if the load impedance drops
below 0.3 , the current drops back to 600mA to prevent excessive power dissipation. Normal operation is
restored when the load resistance exceeds 0.75 .
Detailed Description
The GJ2138 is stable with an output capacitance to ground of 4.7 F or greater. Ceramic capacitors have the
lowest ESR, and will offer the best AC performance. Conversely, Aluminum Electrolytic capacitors exhibit the
highest ESR, resulting in the poorest AC response. Unfortunately, large value ceramic capacitors are
comparatively expensive. One option is to parallel a 0.1 F ceramic capacitor with a 10 F Aluminum Electrolytic.
The benefit is low ESR, high capacitance, and low overall cost.
A second capacitor is recommended between the input and ground to stabilize Vin. The input capacitor should
be at least 0.1 F to have a beneficial effect.
All capacitors should be placed in close proximity to the pins. A “Quiet” ground termination is desirable. This
can be achieved with a “Star” connection.
