AQ111
Low Dropout
1 Amp Voltage Regulator
Product Specification
Revision 1.5
September 13, 2006
General Description
The AQ111 is a low dropout three terminal
voltage regulator, offered in popular fixed options
or an adjustable version that can set a precise
voltage from 1.22V to 12V with two external
resistors.
AQ111 is the only 1 Amp LDO regulator offered
in the tiny PSOT-23 package. PSOT-23 is
modified for lower thermal resistance and fits in
the standard SOT-23 foot print. With a dropout
voltage of less than one volt, the AQ111 can be
used in applications where drop out voltage and
size are an issue.
To assure accuracy within 1.5% over
temperature the heart of the AQ111 is a self-
correcting AcuRef™ bandgap reference.
On-chip current limit and thermal shutdown with
hysteresis protects against any combination of
overload and ambient temperature that might
cause the junction temperature to exceed safe
limits.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stress greater than those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the
device. These stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any conditions beyond
those indicated under recommended Operating Conditions is not implied. Exposure to “Absolute Maximum
Rating” for extended periods may affect device reliability. Use of standard ESD handling precautions is
required.
