DESCRIPTION
The A4481 is a single low-dropout linear regulator with complete control, diagnostics, and protection features that address many requirements of automotive applications. It regulates input voltages from 5.25 to 40 V , down to 5 V ±1% output voltage and is able to supply up to 50 mA of load current. Diagnostic output from the A4481 includes Power OK (POK) output to alert the microprocessor that a fault has occurred. Protection features include input undervoltage lockout (UVLO), foldback overcurrent protection, output undervoltage and overvoltage protections (UV/OVP), and thermal shutdown (TSD). In addition, the output is protected from a short-to- battery event up to 32 V . The A4481 device is available in an 8-pin SOIC package with exposed pad for enhanced thermal dissipation. It is lead (Pb) free, with 100% matte-tin leadframe plating.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Enable (ENB) Input The A4481 has an enable (ENB) logic level input pin. To get the A4481 to operate, the ENB pin must be a logic high (>2 V). The ENB pin is rated to 50 V , allowing the ENB pin to be connected directly to VIN if there is no suitable logic signal available to wake up the A4481. When ENB transitions low, the A4481 waits approximately 15 µs before shutting down. This delay provides plenty of filtering to prevent the A4481 from prematurely shut- ting down because of any small glitch coupling onto the PCB trace or ENB pin.

An internal compara- tor monitors the voltage at the VOUT pin and controls the open- drain device at the POK pin. POK is high when the voltage at the VOUT pin is within 10% of the final regulation voltage. The POK output is pulled low if: (1) the ENB pin transitions low, (2) UVLO occurs, (3) TSD occurs, or (4) UV/OVP occurs. The following timing diagram shows the basic operation and fault handling of the A4481:

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Output Capacitor (COUT): The A4481 is designed to be stable with all types of output capacitors, but it must meet the minimum and maximum capacitance requirement of 3 μF and 10 μF at the intended operating temperature and working voltage. For a ceramic capacitor , X5R or X7R dielectrics with 10 V or higher voltage rating are recommended. However , if the part needs to survive short-to-battery events (e.g. to supply off-board sensors), then 50 to 100 V voltage-rated capacitors are recommended. Input Capacitor (CIN): A 2.2 μF or larger capacitor is recom- mended for an input bypass capacitor. Similarly , choose a capaci- tor that offers plenty of safety margins for known input voltage applications. Thermal Considerations The A4481 remains fully operational to 40 V . However , owing to power dissipation characteristics of the package, full output cur- rent cannot be ensured for all combinations of ambient tempera- ture and input voltage. The maximum allowable power dissipa- tion in the IC is as follows: PMAX = (TJ(MAX ) − TA ) RθJA where TJ(MAX) = maximum junction temperature, TA = ambient air temperature, and RθJA thermal = resistance from junction to ambient. (35°C/W for the 8-pin eSOIC). The power dissipated by the IC can be calculated according to the following equation: PDISS = (VIN – VOUT) × IOUT + VIN × IQ where VIN = input voltage, VOUT = output voltage, IOUT = output current, and IQ = input quiescent current (3.4 mA typical). Figure 2 shows current de-rating plot at selected input voltages based on the above calculations. 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 100 105 110 115 120 125 130 135 140 145 150 Output Current – mA Ambient Temperature – °C VIN = 5.35 V VIN = 10 V VIN = 14 V VIN = 20 V VIN = 32 V VIN = 40 V Figure 2: Output Current De-Rating vs. Input Voltage

Place the input and output capacitors as close as possible and on the same side of the PCB and IC. Place thermal vias directly under the device in a tight pattern, as shown in Figure 4, to improve dissipation.
