7.3.1 Output Voltage Setting and Regulation

The simplified regulation circuit is shown in Figure 7-1, in which the input signal (VREF) is generated by the internal current source (IREF) and the external resistor (RREF). The LDO output voltage is programmed by the VREF voltage because the error amplifier is always operating in unity-gain configuration. The VREF reference voltage is generated by an internal low-noise current source driving the RREF resistor and is designed to have very low bandwidth at the input to the error amplifier through the use of a low-pass filter (CNR/SS || RREF).

The unity-gain configuration is achieved by connecting SNS to OUT. Minimize trace inductance on the output and connect COUT as close to the output as possible.

VOUT = IREF × RREF.
Figure 7-1 Simplified Regulation Circuit

This unity-gain configuration, along with the highly accurate IREF reference current, enables the device to achieve excellent output voltage accuracy. The low dropout voltage (VDO) enables reduced thermal dissipation and achieves robust performance. This combination of features make this device an excellent voltage source for powering sensitive analog low-voltage (≤ 5.5 V) devices.
