GENERAL DESCRIPTIONThe ADP3338 is a member of the ADP33xx family of precision
low dropout anyCAP voltage regulators. The ADP3338 oper-
ates with an input voltage range of 2.7 V to 8 V and delivers a
load current up to 1 A. The ADP3338 stands out from the
conventional LDOs with a novel architecture and an enhanced
process that enables it to offer performance advantages and
higher output current than its competition. Its patented design
requires only a 1 µF output capacitor for stability. This device
is insensitive to output capacitor Equivalent Series Resistance
(ESR), and is stable with any good quality capacitor, including
ceramic (MLCC) types for space-restricted applications. The
ADP3338 achieves exceptional accuracy of ±0.8% at room
temperature and ±1.4% over temperature, line and load varia-
tions. The dropout voltage of the ADP3338 is only 190 mV
(typical) at 1 A. This device also includes a safety current limit
and thermal overload protection. The ADP3338 has ultralow
quiescent current 110 µA (typical) in light load situations.

PIN CONFIGURATION
CAUTIONESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although
the ADP3338 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on
devices subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are
recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

THEORY OF OPERATIONThe new anyCAP LDO ADP3338 uses a single control loop for
regulation and reference functions. The output voltage is sensed
by a resistive voltage divider consisting of R1 and R2 which is
varied to provide the available output voltage option. Feedback
is taken from this network by way of a series diode (D1) and a
second resistor divider (R3 and R4) to the input of an amplifier.
Figure 2.Functional Block Diagram
A very high-gain error amplifier is used to control this loop. The
amplifier is constructed in such a way that equilibrium pro-
duces a large, temperature-proportional input, “offset voltage”
that is repeatable and very well controlled. The temperature-
proportional offset voltage is combined with the complementary
diode voltage to form a “virtual bandgap” voltage, implicit in
the network, although it never appears explicitly in the circuit.
Ultimately, this patented design makes it possible to control
the loop with only one amplifier. This technique also improves
the noise characteristics of the amplifier by providing more flexibil-
ity on the trade-off of noise sources that leads to a low noise design.
The R1, R2 divider is chosen in the same ratio as the bandgap
voltage to the output voltage. Although the R1, R2 resistor divider
is loaded by the diode D1 and a second divider consisting of R3
and R4, the values can be chosen to produce a temperature-stable
output. This unique arrangement specifically corrects for the load-
ing of the divider, thus avoiding the error resulting from base
current loading in conventional circuits.
The patented amplifier controls a new and unique noninverting
driver that drives the pass transistor, Q1. The use of this special
noninverting driver enables the frequency compensation to
include the load capacitor in a pole-splitting arrangement to
achieve reduced sensitivity to the value, type, and ESR of the
load capacitance.
Most LDOs place very strict requirements on the range of ESR
values for the output capacitor because they are difficult to stabilize
due to the uncertainty of load capacitance and resistance. More-
over, the ESR value, required to keep conventional LDOs stable,
changes depending on load and temperature. These ESR limita-
tions make designing with LDOs more difficult because of their
unclear specifications and extreme variations over temperature.
With the ADP3338 anyCAP LDO, this is no longer true. It
can be used with virtually any good quality capacitor, with no
constraint on the minimum ESR. This innovative design allows
the circuit to be stable with just a small 1 µF capacitor on the
output. Additional advantages of the pole-splitting scheme include
superior line noise rejection and very high regulator gain, which
leads to excellent line and load regulation. An impressive ±1.4%
accuracy is guaranteed over line, load, and temperature.
Additional features of the circuit include current limit and ther-
mal shutdown.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
CAPACITOR SELECTION
Output CapacitorThe stability and transient response of the LDO is a function of
the output capacitor. The ADP3338 is stable with a wide range
of capacitor values, types, and ESR (anyCAP). A capacitor as
low as 1 µF is all that is needed for stability. A higher capacitance
may be necessary if high output current surges are anticipated or
if the output capacitor cannot be located near the output and
ground pins. The ADP3338 is stable with extremely low ESR
capacitors (ESR ≈ 0), such as Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors
(MLCC) or OSCON. Note that the effective capacitance of
some capacitor types fall below the minimum over temperature
or with dc voltage.
Input CapacitorAn input bypass capacitor is not strictly required but it is recom-
mended in any application involving long input wires or high
source impedance. Connecting a 1 µF capacitor from the
input to ground reduces the circuit’s sensitivity to PC board
layout and input transients. If a larger output capacitor is neces-
sary, a larger value input capacitor is also recommended.
OUTPUT CURRENT LIMITThe ADP3338 is short-circuit protected by limiting the pass
transistor’s base drive current. The maximum output current is
limited to about 2 A. See TPC 13.
