Using a capacitor whose value is > 1F on the RT9198/A input and the amount of capacitance can be increased without limit. The input capacitor must be located a distance of not more than 0.5 inch from the input pin of the IC and returned to a clean analog ground. Any good quality ceramic or tantalum can be used for this capacitor. The capacitor with larger value and lower ESR (equivalent series resistance) provides better PSRR and line-transient response. The output capacitor must meet both requirements for minimum amount of capacitance and ESR in all LDOs application. The RT9198/A is designed specifically to work with low ESR ceramic output capacitor in space-saving and performance consideration. Using a ceramic capacitor whose value is at least 1F with ESR is more than 20m on the RT9198/A output ensures stability. The RT9198/A still works well with output capacitor of other types due to the wide stable ESR range. Figure 1. shows the curves of allowable ESR range as a function of load current for various output capacitor values. Output capacitor of larger capacitance can reduce noise and improve load transient response, stability, and PSRR. The output capacitor should be located with in 0.5 inch from the VOUT pin of the RT9198/A and returned to a clean analog ground.

The RT9198 LDO regulator will go into shutdown mode when the voltage on the EN pin falls below 0.4V. For RT9198A, the EN turn on control level must be lower than 0.4V to assure the RT9198A LDO regulator switch on. The RT9198A LDO regulator will go into shutdown mode when the voltage on the EN pin is higher than 1.2 V. The RT9198A equips a quick-discharge function to protect the system. When the regulator is turned off by EN pin, the internal MOSFET between VOUT and GND will be turned on to discharge output voltage quickly. If the enable function is not needed in a specific application, it may be tied to GND/VIN to keep the LDO regulator in a continuously on state. Thermal Considerations Thermal protection limits power dissipation in RT9198/A. When the operating junction temperature exceeds 165C, the OTP circuit starts the thermal shutdown function and turns the pass element off. The pass element turns on again after the junction temperature cools by 30C. For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute maximum operatiog junction temperature 125C. The power dissipation definition in device is shown as following formula : 250 The maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of IC package, PCB layout, the rate of surroundings airflow and temperature difference between junction to ambient. The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by following formula : PD(MAX) = ( TJ(MAX) - TA ) / JA Simulation Verify 100 The RT9198/A features an LDO regulator enable/disable function. PD = (VIN - VOUT) x IOUT + VIN x IQ COUT = 1uF 1.001 Enable Function 300 Where T J(MAX) is the maximum operating junction temperature 125C, TA is the ambient temperature and the JA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance. Figure 1 DS9198/A-14 April 2011 Instable www.richtek.com 9 RT9198/A For recommended operating conditions specification of RT9198/A, where T J(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature of the die (125C) and TA is the maximum ambient temperature. The junction to ambient thermal resistance (JA is layout dependent) for TSOT-23-3/TSOT23-5/SOT-23-3/SOT-23-5 package is 250C/W, SC-70-5 and SC-82 package is 333C/W and WDFN-6L 2x2 package is 165C/W on standard JEDEC 51-3 thermal test board. The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25C can be calculated by following formula : PD(MAX) = (125C - 25C)/250 = 400mW (TSOT-23-3/ TSOT-23-5/SOT-23-3/SOT-23-5) PD(MAX) = (125C - 25C)/333 = 300mW (SC-70-5/SC-82) PD(MAX) = (125C - 25C) / 165 = 606mW (WDFN-6L 2x2) The maximum power dissipation depends on operating Maximum Power Dissipation (mW) 1 ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal resistance JA.
