PRODUCTION DATA
A 3.3-V, 80-mA linear regulator is integrated into the MCT8329A and is available for use by external circuitry. If VREG is connected to AVDD, then only 50 mA is available for use by external circuitry. The output of the LDO is fixed to 3.3-V. This regulator can provide the supply voltage for a low-power MCU or other circuitry with low supply current needs. The output of the AVDD regulator should be bypassed near the AVDD pin with a X5R or X7R, 1-µF, 6.3-V ceramic capacitor routed back to the AGND pin.
The power dissipated in the device by the AVDD linear regulator can be calculated as Equation 1:
For example, at a VPVDD of 24-V, drawing 20-mA out of AVDD results in a power dissipation as shown in Equation 2.
