Stresses beyond those listed "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions may affect device reliability. Note 2. JA is measured at TA = 25C on a single-layer and four-layer test board of JEDEC 51. The measurement case position of JC is on the lead of the package. Note 3. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precaution is highly recommended. Note 4. The operating conditions beyond the recommended range is not guaranteed. Note 5. Quiescent, or ground current, is the difference between input and output currents. It is defined by IQ = IIN - IOUT under no load condition (IOUT = 0mA). The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of the load current plus the ground pin current. Note 6. The dropout voltage is defined as VIN -VOUT, which is measured when VOUT is VOUT(NORMAL) - 100mV. Note 7. Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature by using a 20ms current pulse. Devices are tested for load regulation in the load range from 1mA to 300mA and 500mA respectively. Copyright (c) 2017 Richtek Technology Corporation.

DS9186A-14 November 2017 RT9186A Application Information Capacitor Selection and Regulator Stability Input-Output (Dropout) Voltage Careful selection of the external capacitors for the RT9186A is highly recommended in order to remain high stability and performance. A regulator's minimum input-to-output voltage differential (dropout voltage) determines the lowest usable supply voltage. In battery-powered systems, this determines the useful end-of-life battery voltage. Because the device uses a P-MOSFET, its dropout voltage is a function of drain-tosource on-resistance, RDS(ON), multiplied by the load Regarding the Input capacitor, connecting an X7R or X5R ceramic capacitor which is 1F between input and ground is a must. Distance less than 1 cm between input pin and ground of the RT9186A is recommended to avoid any unstability. With larger value of capacitor adding on lower ESR could result in better performance for both PSRR and line transient response. Regarding the output capacitor, connecting a10F capacitor between output and ground is a must. Any capacitor is acceptable only with a highlight of relation between ESR region and Load current, shown in below. Output capacitor with larger capacitance can reduce noise and improve load transient response, stability, and PSRR. The same as Input capacitor, distance less than 1 cm between output pin and ground of the RT9186A is recommended to avoid any unstability. Region of Stable COUT ESR vs. Load Current 100.00 100 VIN = 3V COUT ESR () 10.00 10 Over-Current and Short-Circuit Protection The RT9186A continuously monitors output current to provide maximum safety. In the event of output over current or short-circuit, over-current protection function will activate and override the voltage regulation function to limit output current at 1.4A typically. Large power dissipation at this condition may cause chip temperature to raise and trigger the over temperature protection if over-current or shortcircuit is not removed in a short time Power Good The power good is an open-drain output. Connect an 100k pull up resistor to VOUT to obtain an output voltage. The power good will output high immediately after the output voltage arrives 80% of normal output voltage. See Timing Diagram and Typical Operating Characteristics. Adjustable Operation Stable The output voltage of the RT9186A is adjustable from 0.8V to 4.5V by an external voltage divider as shown in Typical Application Circuit Figure 2. The value of R2 should be less than 80k to ensure regulation. 0.10 0.10 Instable Chip Enable Operation 0.01 0.01 100 VDROPOUT = VIN - VOUT = RDS(ON) IOUT Instable 1.001 0 current : 200 300 400 Load Current (mA) 500 Pull the EN pin low to drive the device into shutdown mode. At the same time, pin 3 (PGOOD) is pulled low. During shutdown mode, the standby current drops to 0.1A (typ). The output voltage decay rate is determined by the external capacitor and load current. Drive the EN pin high to turn on the device again. Reverse Current Path Copyright (c) 2017 Richtek Technology Corporation. All rights reserved.

The inherent diode will be forward biased and conduct an unlimited current if VOUT is sufficiently higher than V IN . a Schottky diode is recommended connecting parallel with the inherent diode in the application where output voltage may be higher than input voltage as shown in Figure 4. This Schottkly will clamp the forward bias voltage to 0.3V and conduct the possible current to protect the RT9186A from damage by unlimited current. VIN VOUT Figure 3. Inherent Diode of P-MOSFET Pass Transistor 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 Where T J(MAX) is the maximum operation junction temperature 125C, TA is the ambient temperature and the JA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance. For recommended operating conditions specification of the RT9186A, where TJ(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 VDFN-8L 3x3 package, the thermal resistance JA is 105C/W on the standard JEDEC 51-3 single-layer 1S thermal test board and 70C/W on the standard JEDEC 51-7 4-layers 2S2P thermal test board. The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25C can be calculated by following formula : PD(MAX) = (125C - 25C) / 105 = 0.952W for single-layer 1S board VOUT Figure 4. Schottkly Diode Parallel with The Ingerent Diode Thermal Considerations Thermal protection limits power dissipation in the RT9186A. When the operation junction temperature exceeds 160C, the OTP circuit starts the thermal shutdown function and turns the pass element off. The pass element turn on again after the junction temperature cools by 30C. For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute maximum operation junction temperature 125C. The power dissipation definition in device is : PD = (VIN - VOUT) x IOUT + VIN x IQ The maximum power dissipation depends on operating ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal resistance JA. The Figure 5 of derating curves allows the designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature on the maximum power allowed. Maximum Power Dissipation (mW) VIN PD(MAX) = (125C - 25C) / 70 = 1.428W for 4-layers 2S2P board 1500 DFN-8L at 4-Layers PCB 1250 DFN-8L at 1-Layers PCB 1000 750 500 MSOP-8 at 1-Layers PCB 250 0 0 25 50 75 100 125 Ambient Temperature (C) Figure 5 Copyright (c) 2017 Richtek Technology Corporation.

DS9186A-14 November 2017 RT9186A Layout Consideration Good board layout practices must be used or instability can be induced because of ground loops and voltage drops. The input and output capacitors MUST be directly connected to the input, output, and ground pins of the device using traces which have no other currents flowing through them. The best way to do this is to layout CIN and COUT near the device with short traces to the VIN, VOUT, and ground pins. The regulator ground pin should be connected to the external circuit ground so that the regulator and its capacitors have a "single point ground". It should be noted that stability problems have been seen in applications where "vias" to an internal ground plane were used at the ground points of the device and the input and output capacitors. This was caused by varying ground potentials at these nodes resulting from current flowing through the ground plane. Using a single point ground technique for the regulator and it' s capacitors fixed the problem. Since high current flows through the traces going into VIN and coming from VOUT, Kelvin connect the capacitor leads to these pins so there is no voltage drop in series with the input and output capacitors. Optimum performance can only be achieved when the device is mounted on a PC board according to the MSOP-8 Board Layout diagram.
