Description
RE024 is a dual mode Low Drop Out (LDO) voltage regulator macrocell with a fixed
2.8V output voltage, rated for loads up to 160 mA in full power mode and 5 mA in low
power mode. (Both modes can be selected by the LP2 signal.) It is designed to be
integrated with other analog cells, digital logic, microcontrollers, DSP cores and mem-
ory blocks into system-on-chip products.
The circuit consists of a PMOS pass device, an error amplifier and a feedback resis-
tive network, sized to achieve the required closed loop gain. These blocks make up
the regulating loop. An over-current and short circuit protection circuit has been
included to limit the output current delivered by the regulator, thus avoiding destruction
in case of a short circuit.
An external reference voltage V
BG
(bandgap voltage) is necessary for correct function-
ality. The target reference voltage is 1.231V delivered, for example, by BG019. Double
pads on the supply voltage V
BAT2C
/V
BAT2CC
and output voltage V
MEMA
/V
MEMAA
are used
to reduce the total output resistance. Current reference is generated inside the cell
through a circuit supplied by a 2.5V 0.1V of regulated input voltage on V
SAUVC
.
Remote sense terminal V
MEMS
provides regulation of the load by connecting it to the
output terminal near a critical point to improve performance of the regulator (e.g., con-
necting it to the package pin by double-bonding, thus avoiding the bonding resistance
influence). A ceramic capacitor of 2.2 F connected from V
MEMA
/V
MEMAA
to ground is
needed as external compensation.
A low-leakage current switch has been added to charge a second external capacitor
(2.2 F - 10 F) to V
MEMA
/V
MEMAA
. This voltage, called V
BACKUP
, is used to guarantee
30 minutes of operation time for the internal system clock and calendar in backup
mode when the main battery is unplugged.
