ATA6628/ATA6630 [Preliminary]
5.6 Voltage Regulator
The voltage regulator needs an external capacitor for compensation and for smoothing the dis-
turbances from the microcontroller. It is recommended to use an electrolythic capacitor with
C > 1.8 µF and a ceramic capacitor with C = 100 nF. The values of these capacitors can be var-
ied by the customer, depending on the application.
The main power dissipation of the IC is created from the VCC output current I
VCC
, which is
needed for the application. In Figure 5-2 on page 19 the safe operating area of the
ATA6628/ATA6630 is shown.

For microcontroller programming, it may be necessary to supply the VCC output via an external
power supply while the V
S
Pin of the system basis chip is disconnected. This behavior is no
problem for the system basis chip.
