if the programming current is accidentally overranged.
Assembly considerations for this package requires that
the fixed internal current limit circuit be bypassed at all times.
An external current limit resistor set to a maximum of 2.7A
must be used. Failure to do so on this package can result in
damage to the device.
Shutdown of the regulator output is guaranteed when the
program current is less than 1µA, allowing external logic
control of output voltage.

NOTES:
1. Stresses greater than those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only
and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operation section of this specification is not
implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect reliability.
2. Reference voltage is quaranteed both at nominal conditions (no load, 25°C) and at worst-case conditions of load, line, power, and temperature.
An intermediate value can be calculated by adding the effects of these variables in the actual application.
3. Dropout voltage is tested by reducing input voltage until the output drops 1% below its nominal value. Tests are done at 0.5A and 2.7A. The
power transistor looks basically like a pure resistance in this range so that minimum differential at any intermediate current can be calculated by
interpolation; V
DROPOUT
= 0.25V + 0.25W • I
OUT
. For load current less than 0.5A, see graph.
4. “Minimum input voltage” is limited by base emitter voltage drive of the power transistor section, not saturation as measured in Note 3. For
output voltages below 4V, “minimum input voltage” specification may limit dropout voltage before transistor saturation limitation.
5. Supply current is measured on the ground pin, and does not include load current, R
LIM
, or output divider current.
6. The 25W power level is guaranteed for an input-output voltage of 8.3V to 17V. At lower voltages the 2.7A limit applies, and at higher voltages
the internal power limiting may restrict regulator power below 25W. See graphs.
7. Line and load regulation are measured on a pulse basis with a pulse width of »2ms, to minimize heating. DC regulation will be affected by thermal
regulation and temperature coefficient of the reference.
8. Guaranteed by design and correlation to other tests, but not tested.

SETTING OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The AS1185 output voltage is set by two external resistors
(see Figure 2). Internal reference voltage is trimmed to 2.37V so
that a standard 1% 2.37k resistor (R1) can be used to set divider
current at 1mA. R2 is then selected from:

External Current Limit
The AS1185 requires a resistor to set current limit. The value
of this resistor is 15k divided by the desired current limit (in
amps). The resistor for 2A current limit would be 15k/2A = 7.5k.
Tolerance over temperature is ±10%, so current limit is normally
set 15% above maximum load current. Foldback limiting can be
employed if short-circuit current must be lower than full load
current (see Typical Applications).
The AS1185 has internal current limiting which will override
external current limit if power in the pass transistor is
excessive. The internal limit is
≈
3.6A with a foldback
characteristic which is dependent on input-output voltage, not
output voltage
per se
(see Typical Performace Characteristics).
Assembly considerations for this package requires that
the fixed internal current limit circuit be bypassed at all times.
An external current limit resistor set to a maximum of 2.7A
must be used. Failure to do so on this package can result in
damage to the device.
