Application Note
Input Capacitor
A 1μF ceramic capacitor is recommended to connect between IN
and GND pins to decouple input power supply glitch and noise.
The amount of the capacitance may be increased without limit. A
lower ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) capacitor allows the
use of less capacitance, while higher ESR type requires more
capacitance. This input capacitor must be located as close as
possible to the device to assure input stability and less noise. For
PCB layout, a wide copper trace is required for both IN and GND.
Output Capacitor
The output capacitor is required to stabilize and help the transient
response of the LDO. The AP7217 is designed to have excellent
transient response for most applications with a small amount of
output capacitance. The AP7217 is stable with any small ceramic
output capacitors of 1.0μF or higher value, and the temperature
coefficients of X7R or X5R type. Additional capacitance helps to
reduce undershoot and overshoot during transient. For PCB
layout, the output capacitor must be placed as close as possible
to OUT and GND pins, and keep the leads as short as possible.
ENABLE/SHUTDOWN Operation
The AP7217 is turned on by setting the EN pin high, and is turned
off by pulling it low. If this feature is not used, the EN pin should
be tied to IN pin to keep the regulator output on at all time. To
ensure proper operation, the signal source used to drive the EN
pin must be able to swing above and below the specified
turn-on/off

Current Limit Protection
When output current at OUT pin is higher than current limit
threshold, the current limit protection will be triggered and clamp
the output current to approximately 600mA to prevent
over-current and to protect the regulator from damage due to
overheating.
Short circuit protection
When VRout pin is shorted to GND or VRout voltage is less than
200mV, short circuit protection will be triggered and clamp the
output current to approximately 50mA.
