1 General Description
The AS1376 is a Dual Supply Rail Linear Regulator designed to
deliver 1A of load current while consuming only 67µA (typ) of ground
current. In the typical post regulation application V
BIAS
is directly
connected to the main input supply, (range 2.5V...5.5V) and V
IN
is
supplied by the output voltage of a host DC-DC Converter (range
0.7V...4.5V).
The device offers excellent dropout (120mV @ 1A) and transient
performance.
In shutdown (Enable pin pulled low), the device turns off and reduces
quiescent current consumption to 10nA (typ) at both V
BIAS
and V
IN
terminals.
In shutdown, a 100 (typ) discharge path is connected between
output and ground to provide rapid discharge of the overall load
capacitance connected to the AS1376 output terminal. Auto-
discharge minimizes the possibility that V
OUT
> V
IN
during
shutdown. When V
OUT
> V
IN
, reverse current flows through the
inherent body diode of the N-channel series pass transistor.
The AS1376 also features internal protection against over-
temperature, over-current and under-voltage conditions.

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.

Revision 1.4
Norm: MIL 883 E method 3015
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.
The reflow peak soldering temperature (body
temperature) specified is in accordance with
IPC/
JEDEC J-STD-020 “Moisture/Reflow Sensitivity
Classification for Non-Hermetic Solid State
Surface Mount Devices”.
The lead finish for Pb-free leaded packages is
matte tin (100% Sn).
