Drop-out voltage is defined as the minimum
differential voltage between Vin and Vout required to main-

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Introduction
The US1010 adjustable Low Dropout (LDO) regulator is
a 3 terminal device which can easily be programmed
with the addition of two external resistors to any volt-
ages within the range of 1.25 to 5.5 V.This regulator
unlike the first generation of the 3T regulators such as
LM117 that required 3V differential between the input
and the regulated output,only needs 1.3V differential to
maintain output regulation. This is a key requirement for
today’slow voltage IC applications that typically need
3.3V supply and are often generated from the 5V sup-
ply. Other applications such as high speed memory ter-
mination need to switch the load current from zero to full
load in tens of nanoseconds at the their pins ,which
translates to an approximately 300 to 500 nS current
step at the regulator . In addition, the output voltage tol-
erances are sometimes tight and they include the tran-
sient response as part of the specification.
The US1010 is specifically designed to meet the fast
current transient needs as well as providing an accurate
initial voltage , reducing the overall system cost with the
need for fewer output capacitors.

Output Voltage Setting
The US1010 can be programmed to any voltages in the
range of 1.25V to 5.5V with the addition of R1 and R2
external resistors according to the following formula:

as shown in figure 2
regulation is achieved when the bottom side of R2 is
connected to the load and the top side of R1 resistor is
connected directly to the case or the Vout pin of the
regulator and not to the load. In fact , if R1 is connected
to the load side, the effective resistance between the
regulator and the load is gained up by the factor of (1+R2/
R1) ,or the effective resistance will be ,Rp(eff)=Rp*(1+R2/
R1).It is important to note that for high current applica-
tions, this can represent a significant percentage of the
overall load regulation and one must keep the path from
the regulator to the load as short as possible to mini-
mize this effect.

Figure 2 - Typical application of the US1010
for programming the output voltage.
The US1010 keeps a constant 1.25V between the out-
put pin and the adjust pin. By placing a resistor R1 across
these two pins a constant current flows through R1, add-
ing to the Iadj current and into the R2 resistor producing
a voltage equal to the (1.25/R1)*R2 +
I
adj*R2 which will
be added to the 1.25V to set the output voltage. This is
summarized in the above equation. Since the minimum
load current requirement of the US1010 is 10 mA , R1 is
typically selected to be 121
Ω
resistor so that it auto-
matically satisfies the minimum current requirement.
Notice that since Iadj is typically in the range of 50uA it
only adds a small error to the output voltage and should
only be considered when a very precise output voltage
setting is required. For example, in a typical 3.3V appli-
cation where R1=121
Ω
and R2=200
Ω
the error due to
Iadj is only 0.3% of the nominal set point.

Stability
The US1010 requires the use of an output capacitor as
part of the frequency compensation in order to make the
regulator stable. Typical designs for microprocessor ap-
plications use standard electrolytic capacitors with a
typical ESR in the range of 50 to 100 m
Ω
and an output
capacitance of 500 to 1000uF. Fortunately as the ca-
pacitance increases, the ESR decreases resulting in a
fixed RC time constant. The US1010 takes advantage of
this phenomena in making the overall regulator loop
stable.For most applications a minimum of 100uF alu-
minum electrolytic capacitor such as Sanyo MVGX se-
ries ,Panasonic FA series as well as the Nichicon PL
series insures both stability and good transient response.
Load Regulation
Since the US1010 is only a 3 terminal device , it is not
possible to provide true remote sensing of the output
voltage at the load.Figure 3 shows that the best load

Thermal Design
The US1010 incorporates an internal thermal shutdown
that protects the device when the junction temperature
exceeds the maximum allowable junction temperature.
Although this device can operate with junction tempera-
tures in the range of 150
°
C ,it is recommended that the
selected heat sink be chosen such that during maxi-
mum continuous load operation the junction tempera-
ture is kept below this number. The example below for
a SCSI terminator application shows the steps in se-
lecting the proper regulator in a surface mount pack-
age .(See US1015 for non surface mount packages)

Layout Consideration
The output capacitors must be located as close to
the Vout
terminal of the device as possible. It is recom-
mended to use a section of a layer of the PC board as a
plane to connect the Vout pin to the output capacitors to
prevent any high frequency oscillation that may result
due to excessive trace inductance.
