AS13985
Micropower 150mA Low-Noise LDO
1 General Description
The AS13985 is a high-performance low-dropout 150mA
voltage regulator designed for use with very-low ESR out-
put capacitors. The device can deliver superior perfor-
mance in all specifications critical to battery-powered
designs, and is perfectly suited for mobile phones, PDAs,
MP3 players, and other battery powered devices.
Stability is guaranteed with a ceramic output capacitor from
1 to 22µF. The low equivalent series resistance of these
capacitors ensures low output impedance at high frequen-
cies.
Automatic sleep mode requires less than 1µA quiescent
current when pin EN is pulled low.
Regulation performance is excellent even under low drop-
out conditions, when the power transistor has to operate in
linear mode.
A 10nF bypass capacitor can be added to reduce output
noise to 30µV. The low-noise performance allows direct
connection of noise sensitive circuits without additional fil-
tering networks.
Multiple output voltage options are available as standard
products. Contact austriamicrosystems AG for details.
The AS13985 is available in a 5-bump WLP package and a
5-pin SOT23 package.

5 Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses beyond those listed in
Table 2
may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only,
and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in Section 6 Electrical
Characteristics on page 4 is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may
affect device reliability.

1. The output PNP structure contains a diode between pins V
IN
and V
OUT
that is normally reverse-biased. revers-
ing the polarity of pins V
IN
and V
OUT
will activate this diode.
2. The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature (T
J(MAX
), the
junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (Θ
JA
), and the ambient temperature (T
AMB
). The maximum allowable
power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated as:
P
(MAX)
= (T
J(MAX)
- (T
AMB
))/
Θ
JA
Where:
The value of
Θ
JA
for the SOT23 package is 220ºC/W in a typical PC-board mounting.
The value of
Θ
JA
for the WLP package is 225ºC/W.
Note:
Exceeding the maximum allowable dissipation will cause excessive device temperature and the regula-
tor will go into thermal shutdown.

1. Temperature variations are included within the output voltage accuracy.
2. Guaranteed by design.
3. Dropout voltage is the input-to-output voltage difference at which the output voltage is 100mV below its nominal
value (does not apply to input voltages below 2.5V).
4. EN must be driven with a t
R
= t
F
< 10ms.
5. Turn on time is time measured between the enable input just exceeding the V
EN
high value and the output volt-
age just reaching 95% of its nominal value.
6. Typical thermal protection hysteresis is 20ºC.
Note:
All limits are guaranteed. The parameters with min and max values are guaranteed with production tests or
SQC (Statistical Quality Control) methods.
