DESCRIPTION
The MP20049 is an ultra-low noise, low-dropout,
high PSRR linear regulator. Fixed output
voltage options are available between 1.2V to
4.5V with 1% accuracy while operating from a
+2.3V to +6V input. It is designed to deliver up
to 150mA of load current. Dropout voltage is
only 60mV at full load.
The MP20049 uses an internal PMOS as the
pass element, which consumes 50µA supply
current at no load condition and is suitable for
battery-power devices. New innovative design
techniques enable the MP20049 to achieve
ultra-low output voltage noise of only 16µVRMS
without a noise bypass capacitor.
The MP20049 is designed and optimized to
work with low value, low cost ceramic
capacitors. It typically requires only 1µF of
output capacitance for stability with any load.
The MP20049 features current limit and over
temperature protection and is available in a tiny
4-ball 0.8x0.8mm WLCSP package.

Notes:

2) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the
maximum junction temperature TJ (MAX), the junction-to-
ambient thermal resistance JA, and the ambient temperature
TA. The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at
any ambient temperature is calculated by PD (MAX) = (TJ
(MAX)-TA)/JA. Exceeding the maximum allowable powe
r
dissipation will cause excessive die temperature, and the
regulator will go into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal
shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent
damage.
3) Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precaution
recommended.
4) The device is not guaranteed to function outside of its
operating conditions.

OPERATION
The MP20049 is an ultra low noise, low
dropout, low quiescent current and high PSRR
linear regulator for space-restricted
applications. It is intended for use in devices
that require very low voltage, and ultra-small
footprint, such as mobile phone and MP3
players.
The MP20049 uses an internal PMOS as the
pass elements and features internal thermal
shutdown and internal current limit circuits.
Dropout Voltage
Dropout voltage is the minimum input to output
differential voltage required for the regulator to
maintain an output voltage within 100mV of its
nominal value. It determines the available end-
of-life battery voltage in battery-powered
systems. For the P-channel MOSFET pass
element, the dropout voltage is a function of
drain to source on resistance. Because the P-
channel MOSFET pass element behaves as a
low-value resistor, the dropout voltage of
MP20049 is very low.
Under Voltage Lockout
The MP20049 has an internal under-voltage
lockout circuit that disables the device when the
input voltage is less than approximately 2.3V.
This ensures that the input and the output of the
MP20049 behave in a predictable manner
during input power-up.
Enable ON/Off
The MP20049 can be switched ON or OFF by a
logic input at the EN pin. A high voltage at this
pin will turn the device on. When the EN pin is
low, the regulator output is off. The EN pin
should be tied to VIN to keep the regulator
output always on if the application does not
require the shutdown feature.
Do not float the EN pin.
Current Limit and Thermal Protection
The MP20049 includes an independent current
limit structure which monitors and controls the
P-channel MOSFET’s gate voltage to limit the
guaranteed maximum output current to 150mA.
Thermal protection turns off the P-channel
MOSFET when the junction temperature
exceeds +150ºC, allowing the IC to cool. When
the IC’s junction temperature drops by 20ºC,
the PMOS will be turned on again. Thermal
protection limits total power dissipation in the
MP20049. For reliable operation, junction
temperature should be limited to 125ºC
maximum.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Power Dissipation
The power dissipation for any package depends
on the thermal resistance of the case and circuit
board, the temperature difference between the
junction and ambient air, and the rate of airflow.
The power dissipation across the device can be
represented by the equation:
P = (VIN - VOUT) ×IOUT
The allowable power dissipation can be
calculated using the following equation:
P(MAX) = (TJunction - TAmbient) / JA
Where (TJunction - TAmbient) is the temperature
difference between the junction and the
surrounding environment, JA is the thermal
resistance from the junction to the ambient
environment. Connecting the GND pin of
MP20049 to ground with a large ground plane
will help the channel heat away.
Input Capacitor Selection
Using a capacitor whose value is >1µF on the
MP20049 input and the amount of capacitance
can be increased without limit. Larger values
will help to improve line transient response with
the drawback of increased size. Ceramic
capacitors are preferred, but tantalum
capacitors may also suffice.
Output Capacitor Selection
The MP20049 is designed specifically to work
with very low ESR ceramic output capacitor in
space-limiting and performance consideration.
Output capacitor of larger values will help to
improve load transient response and reduce
noise with the drawback of increased size. For
the application circuit, the MP20049 requires a
minimum capacitance of 0.7µF with an ESR of
1 or less.
Output Noise and PSRR
For MP20049, an internal 50pF bypass
capacitor with new innovative structure reduces
output noises greatly, without the need for an
external bypass capacitor. The power supply
rejection is 75dB at 10kHz and 55dB at 100kHz.
