In order to have the lowest possible sensitivity of the output
voltage to temperature variations, it is important that the paral-
lel resistance of R1 and R2 is always 50 k

T hermal Overload Protection
T he ADP3334 is protected against damage from excessive power
dissipation by its thermal overload protection circuit which limits
the die temperature to a maximum of 165
°
C. Under extreme
conditions (i.e., high ambient temperature and power dissipation)
where die temperature starts to rise above 165
°
C, the output
current is reduced until the die temperature has dropped to a
safe level. T he output current is restored when the die tempera-
ture is reduced.
Current and thermal limit protections are intended to protect
the device against accidental overload conditions. For normal
operation, device power dissipation should be externally limited
so that junction temperatures will not exceed 150
°
C.

Where

Assuming I

T he proprietary package used in the ADP3334 has a thermal
resistance of 86.6
°
C /W, significantly lower than a standard
SOIC-8 package. Assuming a 4-layer board, the junction tem-
perature rise above ambient temperature will be approximately

Printed Circuit Board Layout Consideration
All surface mount packages rely on the traces of the PC board to
conduct heat away from the package.
In standard packages the dominant component of the heat resis-
tance path is the plastic between the die attach pad and the
individual leads. In typical thermally enhanced packages one or
more of the leads are fused to the die attach pad, significantly
decreasing this component. T o make the improvement mean-
ingful, however, a significant copper area on the PCB must be
attached to these fused pins.
T he patented thermal coastline lead frame design of the ADP3334
uniformly minimizes the value of the dominant portion of the
thermal resistance. It ensures that heat is conducted away by all
pins of the package. T his yields a very low 86.6
°
C/W thermal
resistance for an SOIC-8 package, without any special board
layout requirements, relying only on the normal traces connected
to the leads. T his yields a 15% improvement in heat dissipation
capability as compared to a standard SOIC-8 package. T he
thermal resistance can be decreased by, approximately, an addi-
tional 10% by attaching a few square cm of copper area to the
IN or OUT pins of the ADP3334 package.
It is not recommended to use solder mask or silkscreen on the
PCB traces adjacent to the ADP3334
’
s pins since it will increase
the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the package.
Shutdown Mode
Applying a T T L high signal to the shutdown (SD) pin or tying
it to the input pin, will turn the output OFF. Pulling SD down
to 0.4 V or below, or tying it to ground will turn the output ON.
In shutdown mode, quiescent current is reduced to much less
than 1
μ
A.
