MIC5302 150mA ULDOTM in Ultra Small 1.2mm x 1.6mm Thin MLF(R) General Description Features The MIC5302 is an ultra small, Ultra Low Dropout CMOS regulator, ULDOTM that is ideal for today's most demanding portable applications including cellular phone RF power, camera modules, imaging sensors for digital still and video cameras, PDAs, portable media players (PMP) and PC cameras where board space is limited. It offers extremely low dropout voltage, very low output noise and can operate from a 2.3V to 5.5V input while delivering up to 150mA. It offers 2% initial accuracy, low ground current (typically 85A total), thermal and current limit protection. The MIC5302 can also be put into a zero-off-mode current state, drawing no current when disabled. The MIC5302 is available in the ultra small 4-pin 1.2mm x 1.6mm Thin MLF(R) package, occupying only 1.92mm2 of PCB area, a 50% reduction in board area compared to SC-70 and 2mm x 2mm MLF(R) packages. It's operating junction temperature range is -40C to +125C and is available in fixed output voltages in lead-free (RoHS compliant) Thin MLF(R) package.

MIC5302 The actual power dissipation of the regulator circuit can be determined using the equation: Application Information Enable/Shutdown The MIC5302 comes with an active-high enable pin that allows the regulator to be disabled. Forcing the enable pin low disables the regulator and sends it into a "zero" off-mode-current state. In this state, current consumed by the regulator goes nearly to zero. Forcing the enable pin high enables the output voltage. The active-high enable pin uses CMOS technology and the enable pin cannot be left floating; a floating enable pin may cause an indeterminate state on the output. PD = (VIN - VOUT) IOUT + VIN IGND Because this device is CMOS and the ground current is typically <100A over the load range, the power dissipation contributed by the ground current is < 1% and can be ignored for this calculation. PD = (3.6V - 2.8V) x 150mA PD = 0.12W To determine the maximum ambient operating temperature of the package, use the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the device and the following basic equation: Input Capacitor The MIC5302 is a high-performance, high bandwidth device. Therefore, it requires a well-bypassed input supply for optimal performance. A 1F capacitor is required from the input-to-ground to provide stability. Low-ESR ceramic capacitors provide optimal performance at a minimum of space. Additional high-frequency capacitors, such as small-valued NPO dielectric-type capacitors, help filter out high-frequency noise and are good practice in any RF-based circuit. PD(MAX) = TJ(MAX) - TA JA TJ(max) = 125C, the maximum junction temperature of the die JA thermal resistance = 173C/W. The table below shows junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the MIC5302 in the 4-pin 1.2mm x 1.6mm MLF(R) package. Output Capacitor The MIC5302 requires an output capacitor of 1F or greater to maintain stability. The design is optimized for use with low-ESR ceramic chip capacitors. High ESR capacitors may cause high frequency oscillation. The output capacitor can be increased, but performance has been optimized for a 1F ceramic output capacitor and does not improve significantly with larger capacitance. X7R/X5R dielectric-type ceramic capacitors are recommended because of their temperature performance. X7R-type capacitors change capacitance by 15% over their operating temperature range and are the most stable type of ceramic capacitors. Z5U and Y5V dielectric capacitors change value by as much as 50% and 60%, respectively, over their operating temperature ranges. To use a ceramic chip capacitor with Y5V dielectric, the value must be much higher than an X7R ceramic capacitor to ensure the same minimum capacitance over the equivalent operating temperature range. Package JA Recommended Minimum Footprint 4-Pin 1.2x1.6 MLF(R) 173C/W Thermal Resistance Substituting PD for PD(max) and solving for the ambient operating temperature will give the maximum operating conditions for the regulator circuit. The junction-toambient thermal resistance for the minimum footprint is 173C/W. The maximum power dissipation must not be exceeded for proper operation. For example, when operating the MIC5302-2.8YML at an input voltage of 3.6V and 150mA load with a minimum footprint layout, the maximum ambient operating temperature TA can be determined as follows: 0.12W = (125C - TA)/(173C/W) No-Load Stability Unlike many other voltage regulators, the MIC5302 will remain stable and in regulation with no load. This is especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive applications. Thermal Considerations The MIC5302 is designed to provide 150mA of continuous current. Maximum ambient operating temperature can be calculated based on the output current and the voltage drop across the part. Given that the input voltage is 3.6V, the output voltage is 2.8V and the output current = 150mA. May 2008 TA=104C Therefore, a 2.8V application with 150mA of output current can accept an ambient operating temperature of 104C in a 1.2mm x 1.6mm MLF(R) package.
