Voltage drops due to RP are not eliminated; they will add to the

dropout voltage of the regulator regardless of whether they are

inside or outside the regulation loop. The AMS2501/AMS2502

can control the voltage at the load as long as the input-output

voltage is greater than the total of the dropout voltage of the

device plus the voltage drop across RP.

Stability

The circuit design used in the AMS2501/AMS2502 series

requires the use of an output capacitor as part of the device

frequency compensation. The addition of 150µF aluminum

electrolytic or a 22µF solid tantalum on the output will ensure

stability for all operating conditions. For best frequency response

use capacitors with an ESR of less than 1Ω.

In order to increase the transient response larger value capacitors

are needed. To limit the high frequency noise generated by the

load high quality bypass capacitors must be used. In order to limit

parasitic inductance (ESL) and resistance (ESR) in the capacitors

to acceptable limits, multiple small ceramic capacitors in addition

to high quality solid tantalum capacitors are required.

When the adjustment terminal is bypassed to improve the ripple

rejection, the requirement for an output capacitor increases. The

reference voltage is brought out specifically to allow this

capability.

AMS2501/AMS2502

Some of the loads generate large high frequency current

transients. The load current step contains higher order frequency

components than the output coupling network must handle until

the regulator throttles to the load current level. Because they

contain parasitic resistance and inductance, capacitors are not

ideal elements. These parasitic elements dominate the change in

output voltage at the beginning of a transient load step change.

The ESR of the output capacitors produces an instantaneous step

in output voltage (∆V=∆I)(ESR). The ESL of the output

capacitors produces a droop proportional to the rate of change of

the output current (V= L)(∆I/∆t). The output capacitance

produces a change in output voltage proportional to the time until

the regulator can respond (∆V=∆t) (∆I/C). Figure 4 illustrates

these transient effects.

Output Voltage

The AMS2501/AMS2502 series develops a 1.25V reference

voltage between the Sense pin and the Adjust pin (Figure5).

Placing a resistor between these two terminals causes a constant

current to flow through R1 and down through R2 to set the

overall output voltage. In general R1 is chosen so that this current

is the specified minimum load current of 10mA.The current out

of the Adjust pin is small, typically 40µA and it adds to the

current from R1. Because IADJ is very small it needs to be

considered only when very precise output voltage setting is

required. For best regulation the top of the resistor divider should

be connected directly to the Sense pin.
