Note1:The Parameters of Line Regulation and Load Regulation in Table1 are tested under constant junction temperature.
Note2:When Iout varies between 0~3A,Vin-Vout varies between 1.5V~6V under constant junction temperature, the parameter is
satisfied the criterion in table. If temperature varies between -50
℃
≤
TA≤140℃,it needs output current to be larger than 10mA to
satisfy the criterion.
Note3:Dropout Voltage is tested
Vdropout=Vin2-Vout2.
Note4:Minimum Load Current is defined as the minimum output current required to maintain regulation.
When 1.5V≦Vin-Vout≦6V,the device is guaranteed to regulate if the output current is greater than 10mA.
under Iout=3A and
the following testing conditions: First step is to find out the Vout
value(Vout1) when Vin1=Vout+1.5V, second step is to decrease Vin(Vin2) until Vout value is equal to 99%*Vout1(Vout2).
Detailed Description
ACE1085 is a series of low dropout voltage, three terminal regulators. Its application circuit is very simple:
the fixed version only needs two capacitors and the adjustable version only needs two resistors and two
capacitors to work. It is composed of some modules including start-up circuit, bias circuit, bandgap,
thermal shutdown, current limit, power transistors and its driver circuit and so on.
The thermal shut down and current limit modules can assure chip and its application system working
safety when the environment temperature is larger than 140
℃
or output current is larger than 3.2A.
The bandgap module provides stable reference voltage, whose temperature coefficient is compensated
by careful design considerations. The temperature coefficient is under 100ppm/℃.And the accuracy of
output voltage is guaranteed by trimming technique.
Typical Application Circuit
ACE1085 has an adjustable version and fixed versions, Chart 1 is its typical application.

Typical application of ACE1085
Application Hints
1. Recommend using 10uF tan capacitor as bypass capacitor for all application circuit.
2. Recommend using 22uF tan capacitor to assure circuit stability.
3. Using a bypass capacitor(CAdj) between the adjust terminal and ground can improve ripple rejection,
This bypass capacitor prevents ripple from being amplified as the output voltage is increased. The
impedance of CAdj should be less than the resistor’s(R1) which is between output and adjust pins to
prevent ripple from being amplified at any ripple frequency. As R1 is normally in the range of
120Ω~200Ω,the value of CAdj should satisfy this equation: 2*Fripple*CAdj<R1. Recommend using 10uF
tan capacitor.
Output Voltage of Adjustable Version
The ACE1085 adjustable version provide 1.25V Reference Voltage. Any output voltage between
1.25V~13.8V can be available by choosing two external resistors (connection method is shown in chart 1).
In chart 1, R1,R2 is the two external resistors.
Explanation
The output voltage of adjustable version satisfies this followed equation:
Vout=VRef*(1+R2/R1)+IAdj*R2. We can ignore IAdj because IAdj(about 50uA) is much less than the
current of R1(about 4mA).
How to choose R1:The value of R1 should be in the range of 120Ω½200Ω to assure chip working
normally without any load. To assure the electrical performance showed in table 1, the output current
should be larger than 5mA. If R1 is too large, the minimum output current should be larger than 4mA , The
best working condition is to assure that the output current exceeds 10mA.
