The AMS3120 is a high performance linear regulator
with very low dropout voltage and excellent transient
response. It is designed to operate with wide input
voltage range of 1.5 – 7Volts making it ideal for two
step conversion while maintaining high efficiency for
many power sensitive applications. The device is
capable of supplying 2A of output current with a
typical dropout voltage of 550mV at 2A. The product
is available in either fixed or adjustable output
voltage.
The linear regulator has been optimized for noise
sensitive applications.
The device includes an
Enable pin for electrical on/off of the regulator.
Forcing the Enable pin to logic low shuts down the
LDO and reduces the supply current to less than
1µA.
The product includes
complete short-circuit and
thermal protection. The combination of these two
internal protection circuits gives the device a
comprehensive safety system to safe guard against
extreme adverse operating conditions.
The AMS3120 is available in a thermally enhanced
SOIC-8 EDP package, and it is rated for -40°C to
+125°C temperature range.

No connection
Enable pin. It controls the electrical on/off of the device. When connected to logic
low, the device shuts off and consumes 1µA of current. A logic high will resume
normal operation.

with at ceramic capacitor from this pin to ground.
No Connection
Power Good pin. It is an open collector, active high output that indicates the status
of the output voltage. When output voltage (V
OUT
) exceeds the PG trip threshold,
the PG pin goes in to a high impedance state. When the device is out of regulation
or shutdown, the PG pin is pulled low. A 10KΩ to 1MΩ resistor should be
connected from PG to V

Stresses above those listed in Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device.
Measured on approximately 1” square of 1 oz. copper.
The total power dissipation for SO-8 EDP package is recommended to 2.5W rated at 25⁰C ambient temperature. The thermal resistance Junction to Case
is 45⁰C/W. Total power dissipation for the switching regulator and the LDO should be taken in consideration when calculating the output current capability
