AS1372
350mA Dual Rail Linear Regulator
1 General Description
The AS1372 is a Dual Supply Rail Linear Regulator designed for
powering very-low voltage circuits from a single Li-Ion cell or 3 cell
NiMH batteries. In the typical post regulation application V
BIAS
is
directly connected to the battery (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 and transient features combined
with very low quiescent currents. 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 100ohms (typ) discharge path is connected between
output and ground to provide rapid discharge of the overall load
capacitance connected to the AS1372 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 AS1372 also features internal protection against over-
temperature, over-current and under-voltage conditions.
The device is available in a tiny 5-bump CS-WLP package and is
qualified for operation over the -40ºC to +85ºC temperature range.
2 Key Features
Input Voltage: 0.7V to 4.5V
Output Voltage: 0.5V to 2.2V in 100mV steps
Output Voltage Accuracy: ±1.5%

The device is available in fixed output voltages from 0.5V up to 2.2V
in 100mV steps (50mV from 0.5V to 1.1V). See
Ordering Information
on page 18.

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
Electrical Characteristics on page 4
is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Revision 1.4
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).
