1 General Description
The AS1371 low input voltage, positive voltage regulator is designed
to deliver up to 400mA while consuming typically only 15µA of
quiescent current. The device operates from input voltages of 1.2V
to 3.6V, and is available in fixed output voltages between 0.6V and
3.3V (programmable in 50mV steps).
Operation at the full 400mA load current is dependent upon the
maximum power dissipation available from package and
environment.
The low input voltage and ultra-low dropout voltage (20mV @
100mA load and 80mV @ 400mA load) supports single primary cell
operation in small applications, when operated with minimum input-
to-output voltage differentials. In addition, the regulator provides a
power management life extension by operating from pre-existing
1.8V and 2.5V outputs to provide low output voltages for new
generation portable processor cores.
The device features stable output voltage with ceramic capacitors
down to a value of 1µF, strict output voltage regulation tolerances
(±1%), and good line- and load-regulation.
The AS1371 is available in a 6-pin 2x2 TDFN package and is
qualified for -40°C to +85°C operation.

Description
LDO Input.
Input voltage range: 1.2V to 3.6V. Bypass with 1µF to GND.
Power-OK Output.
Active-low, open-drain output indicates an out-of-regulation condition.
Connect a 100k pull-up resistor to pin OUT for logic levels. Leave this pin unconnected if the
Power-OK feature is not used.
Active-High Enable Input.
A logic low reduces the supply current to < 1µA.
Connect to pin IN for normal operation.
Ground.
This pin also functions as a heat sink. Solder it to a large pad or to the circuit-board
ground plane to maximize power dissipation.
Sense Input.
Represents the input for the Power-OK behavior. If connected to GND the POK
output is related to OUT.
LDO Output.
Bypass with 1µF to GND.
Exposed Pad.
This pin also functions as a heat sink. Solder it to a large pad or to the circuit-
board ground plane to maximize power dissipation. Internally it is connected GND.

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.

Temperature Ranges and Storage Conditions
Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is very
dependent on application and board-layout. In
situations where high maximum power
dissipation exists, special attention must be paid
to thermal dissipation during board design.
