SS8027G
3.3V 1A Low Dropout Regulator
FEATURES
Dropout voltage typically 0. 8V @ I
O
= 1A
Output current in excess of 1A
Output voltage accuracy ±2%
Quiescent current, typically 600µA
Internal short circuit current limit
Internal over temperature protection
DESCRIPTION
The SS8027G positive 3.3V voltage regulator features
the ability to source 1A of output current with a drop-
out voltage of typically 0.8V over the entire operating
temperature range. A low quiescent current is pro-
vided over the entire output current range. The typical
quiescent current is 0.6mA. Furthermore, quiescent
current is reduced when the regulator is in the
dropout mode (V
IN
< 3.3V).
Familiar regulat or features such as over-temperature
and over-current protection circuits are provided to
prevent the device from being damaged by abnormal
operating conditions.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Con-
ditions are conditions under which the device functions but the specifications might not be guaranteed.
For guaranteed specifications and test conditions see the Electrical Characteristics.
Note 2:
The maximum power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, T
Jmax
, total thermal
resistance,
θ
JA
, and ambient temperature T
A
. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient
temperature is T
jmax
-T
A
/
θ
JA
. If this dissipation is exceeded, the die temperature will rise above 150°C
and IC will go into thermal shutdown. For the SS8027G in the SOT-223 package,
θ
JA
is 156°C/W; in the
TO-252 pac kage,
θ
JA
is 125°C/W; in the TO-263 package,
θ
JA
is 75°C/W, and in the TO-220 package,
θ
JA
is 60°C/W (no heat sink). [See Recommended Minimum Footprint] If the TO-220 package is used
with a heat sink,
θ
JA
is the sum of the package thermal resistance junction-to-case (θ
JC
) of 3°C/W and
the thermal resistance added by the heat sink and thermal interface.The thermal resistance can be
reduced by increasing the P.C. board copper area thermally connected to the pac kage. The safe op-
eration area of SOT-223, TO-252, TO-263 or TO-220 packages can be seen in “Typical Performance
Characteristics” (Safe Operating Area).
Note3:
Low duty-cycle pulse techniques are used during test to maintain the junction temperature as close
to ambient temperature as possible.
Note4:
The output capacitor should be a tantalum or aluminum type.

Definitions
Dropout Voltage
The input/output voltage differential at which the regu-
lator output no longer maintains regulation against
further reductions in input voltage. Measured when the
output drops 100mV below its nominal value, dropout
voltage is affected by junction temperature, load cur-
rent and minimum input supply requirements.
Line Regulation
The change in output voltage for a change in input
voltage. The measurement is made under conditions
of low dissipation or by using pulse techniques, so
that average chip temperature is not significantly af-
fected.
Load Regulation
The change in output voltage for a change in load cur-
rent at constant chip temperature. The measurement
is made under conditions of low dissipation or by u
s-
ing pulse techniques, so that average chip tempera-
ture is not significantly affected.
Maximum Power Dissipation
The maximum total device dissipation for which the
regulator will operate within specifications.
Quiescent Bias Current
Current which is used to operate the regulator chip
and is not delivered to the load.
