General Description
AP1184 is a 4A regulator with extremely low
dropout voltage. This product is specifically
designed to provide well regulated supply for
applications requiring 2.8V or lower voltages from
3.3V ATX power supplies where high efficiency of
the switch can be achieved without the cost and
complexity associated with switching regulator. One
such application is the new graphic chipsets that

Functional Descriptions
Introduction
The AP1184 regulator is 5 terminal device designed
specifically to provide extremely low dropout
voltages comparable to the PNP type without the
disadvantage of the extra power dissipation due to
the base current associated with PNP regulators.
This is done by bringing out the control pin of the
regulator that provides the base current to the
power NPN and connecting it to a voltage that is
greater than the voltage present at the Vin pin. This
flexibility makes the AP1184 ideal for applications
where dual inputs are available such as a computer
motherboard with an ATX style power supply that
provides 5V and 3.3V to the board. One such
application is the new graphic chip sets that require
anywhere from 2.4V to 2.7V supply. The AP1184
can easily be programmed with the addition of two
external resistors to any voltages within the range
of 1.25V to 15.5V. Another major requirement of
these graphic chips is the need to switch the load
current from zero to several amps in tens of
nanoseconds at the processor pins, which
translates to an approximately 300 to 500ns of
current step at the regulator. In addition, the output
voltage tolerances are also extremely tight and they
include the transient response as part of the
specification.
The AP1184 is specifically designed to meet the
fast current transient needs as well as providing an
accurate initial voltage, reducing the overall system
cost with the need for fewer number of output
capacitors. Another feature of the device is its true
remote sensing capability that allows accurate
voltage setting at the load rather than at the device.
Output Voltage Setting
The AP1184-ADJ can be programmed to any
voltages in the range of 1.25V to 15.5V with the
addition of R1 and R2 external resistors according
to the following formula:

The AP1184-ADJ keeps a constant 1.25V between
the Vsense pin and the Adj pin. By placing a
resistor R1 across these two pins and connecting
the Vsense ans Vout pin together, a constant
current flows through R1, adding to the Iadj current
and into the R2 resistor producing a voltage equal
to the (1.25/R1)*R2 + Iadj*R2. This voltage is then
added to the 1.25V to set the output voltage. This is
summarized in the above equation. Since the
minimum load current requirement of the
AP1184-ADJ is 10mA, R1 is typically selected to be
a 121
Ω
resistor so that it automatically satisfies
this condition. Notice that since the Iadj is typically
in the range of 50uA it only adds a small error to the

output voltage and should be considered when very
precise output voltage setting is required.
Load Regulation
Since the AP1184 has separate pins for the output
(Vout) and the sense (Vsense), it is ideal for
providing true remote sensing of the output voltage
at the load. This means that the voltage drops due
to parasitic resistance such as PCB traces between
the regulator and the load are compensated for
using remote sensing. Figure following shows a
typical application of the AP1184-ADJ with remote
sensing.

Stability
The AP1184-XXX requires the use of an output
capacitor as part of the frequency compensation in
order to make the regulator stable. Typical designs
for the microprocessor applications use standard
electrolytic capacitors with typical ESR in the range
of 50 to 100m
Ω
and an output capacitance of
100uF to 1000uF. Fortunately as the capacitance
increases, the ESR decreases resulting in a fixed
RC time constant. The AP1184-XXX takes
advantage of the phenomena in making the overall
regulator loop stable. For most applications a
minimum of 100uF aluminum electrolytic capacitor
insures both stability and good transient response.
