LOW DROPOUT CMOS VOLTAGE REGULATOR
S-814 Series
Seiko Instruments Inc.
1

The S-814 Series is a low dropout voltage, high output
voltage accuracy and low current consumption positive
voltage regulator developed utilizing CMOS technology.
Built-in low ON-resistance transistors provide low dropout
voltage and large output current. A shutdown circuit ensures
long battery life.
Various types of output capacitors can be used in the S-814
Series compared with the past CMOS voltage regulators.
(i.e., Small ceramic capacitors can also be used in the S-814
Series.)
The SOT-23-5 miniaturized package and the SOT-89-3 and
the SOT-89-5 packages are recommended to use for
configuring portable devices and large output current
applications, respectively.
Features
Low current consumption
At operation mode:
Typ. 30
A, Max. 40 A
At shutdown mode:
Typ. 100 nA, Max. 500 nA
Output voltage:
0.1 V steps between 2.0 and 6.0 V
High accuracy output voltage:
2.0 %
Output current:
110 mA capable: 3.0 V output product, at V
IN
=4 V
*1
180 mA capable: 5.0 V output product, at V
IN
=6 V
*1
Low dropout voltage:
Typ. 170 mV:
5.0 V output product, at I
OUT
=60 mA
Built-in shutdown circuit
Selection without a shutdown function is possible. (S-814AxxAUA
Series)
Built-in short-circuit protection
Low ESR capacitor, e.g. a ceramic capacitor of 0.47 F or more, can be used as the output capacitor.
Small package:
SOT-23-5, SOT-89-3, and SOT-89-5

*1. Attention should be paid to the power dissipation of the package when the output current is large.
Applications
Power source for battery-powered devices, personal communication devices, and home electric/electronic
appliances.
Packages

Technical Terms
1. Low dropout voltage regulator
The low dropout voltage regulator is a voltage regulator featuring a low dropout voltage characteristic due
to its internal low ON-resistance characteristic transistors.
2. Low ESR
ESR is the abbreviation for Equivalent Series Resistance. The low ESR output capacitor (C
L
) can be
used in the S-814 Series.
3. Output voltage (V

Operation
1. Basic operation
Figure 13 shows the block diagram of the S-814 Series.
The error amplifier compares a reference voltage V
ref
with part of the output voltage divided by the
feedback resistors R
s
and R
f
. It supplies the output transistor with the gate voltage, necessary to ensure
certain output voltage free of any fluctuations of input voltage and temperature.

2. Output transistor
The S-814 Series uses a low on-resistance Pch MOS FET as the output transistor.
Be sure that V
OUT
does not exceed V
IN
+0.3 V to prevent the voltage regulator from being broken due to
inverse current flowing from VOUT pin through a parasitic diode to VIN pin.

3. ON/OFF pin (Shutdown pin)
*1
This pin starts and stops the regulator.
When the shutdown pin is switched to the shutdown level, the operation of all internal circuits stops, the
built-in Pch MOSFET output transistor between VIN pin and VOUT pin is shutdown, allowing current
consumption to be drastically reduced. The VOUT pin enters the Vss level due to internally divided
resistance of several M
between VOUT pin and VSS pin.
Furthermore, the structure of the ON/OFF pin is as shown in Figure 14. Since the ON/OFF pin is neither
pulled down nor pulled up internally, do not use it in the floating state. In addition, please note that current
consumption increases if a voltage of 0.3 V to V
IN
-0.3 V is applied to the shutdown pin. When the
ON/OFF pin is not used, connect it to the VIN pin in case of the product type is `"A" and to the VSS pin in
case of "B".

4. Short-circuit protection circuit
The S-814 Series incorporates a short-circuit protection circuit to protect the output transistor against
short-circuiting between VOUT pin and VSS pin.
The short-circuit protection circuit controls output current as shown in "1. Output voltage vs. Output
current (When load current increases)
" curve in " Characteristics", and prevents output current of
approx. 70 mA or more from flowing even if VOUT pin and VSS pin are shorted. However, the short-
circuit protection circuit does not protect thermal shutdown. Be sure that input voltage and load current do
not exceed the specified power dissipation level.
When output current is large and a difference between input and output voltages is large even if not
shorted, the short-circuit protection circuit may start functioning and the output current may be controlled
to the specified amperage. For details, refer to "3. Maximum output current vs. Input voltage" curve in
" Characteristics".

Selection of Output Capacitor (C
L
)
Mount an output capacitor between VOUT pin and VSS pin for phase compensation. The S-814 Series
enables customers to use a ceramic capacitor as well as a tantalum or an aluminum electrolytic capacitor.
A ceramic capacitor or an OS capacitor:
Use a capacitor of 0.47
F or more.
A tantalum or an aluminum electrolytic capacitor:
Use a capacitor of 0.47
F or more and ESR of 10 or less.
Pay special attention not to cause an oscillation due to an increase in ESR at low temperatures, when
you use the aluminum electrolytic capacitor. Evaluate the capacitor taking into consideration its
performance including temperature characteristics.
Overshoot and undershoot characteristics differ depending upon the type of the output capacitor you
select. Refer to "C
L
dependencies of overshoot" and "C
L
dependencies of undershoot" in
" Transient Response Characteristics".
Precautions
Wiring patterns for VIN pin, VOUT pin and GND pin should be designed so that the impedance is low.
When mounting an output capacitor, the distance from the capacitor to the VOUT pin and the VSS pin
should be as short as possible.
Note that output voltage may increase when a series regulator is used at low load current. (Less than
10
A)
Generally, a series regulator may cause oscillation, depending on the selection of external parts. The
following conditions are recommended for this IC. However, be sure to perform sufficient evaluation under
the actual usage conditions to select the series regulator.
Output capacitor (C
L
):
0.47
F or more
Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR): 10
or less
Input series resistance (R
IN
):
10
or less
The voltage regulator may oscillate when the impedance of the power supply is high and the input
capacitor is small or an input capacitor is not connected.
The application conditions for input voltage and load current do not exceed the power dissipation level of
the package.
In determining the output current, attention should be paid to the output current value specified and
footnote *5 in Table 6 and Table 7 in the " Electrical Characteristics".
Do not apply an electrostatic discharge to this IC that exceeds the performance ratings of the built-in
electrostatic protection circuit.
