General Description
The MIC2937A family are “bulletproof” efficient voltage regu-
lators with very low dropout voltage (typically 40mV at light
loads and 300mV at 500mA), and very low quiescent current
(160µA typical). The quiescent current of the MIC2937A in-
creases only slightly in dropout, thus prolonging battery life.
Key MIC2937A features include protection against reversed
battery, fold-back current limiting, and automotive “load dump”
protection (60V positive transient).
The MIC2937 is available in several configurations. The
MIC2937A-xx devices are three pin fixed voltage regulators
with 3.3V, 5V, and 12V outputs available. The MIC29371 is
a fixed regulator offering logic compatible ON/OFF switching
input and an error flag output. This flag may also be used as
a power-on reset signal. A logic-compatible shutdown input
is provided on the adjustable MIC29372, which enables the
regulator to be switched on and off.

Note 1: Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Electrical specifications do not
apply when operating the device outside of its rated operating conditions. The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the
maximum junction temperature, TJ (MAX), the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θJA, and the ambient temperature, TA. The maximum
allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated using: P(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) – TA) / θJA. Exceeding the maximum allowable
power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown.
Note 2: Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range.
Note 3: Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Changes in output voltage due to
heating effects are covered by the thermal regulation specification.
Note 4: Dropout Voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100 mV below its nominal value
measured at 1V differential. At low values of programmed output voltage, the minimum input supply voltage of 4.3V over temperature must
be taken into account. The MIC2937A operates down to 2V of input at reduced output current at 25°C.
Note 5: Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the source is the sum of the load current
plus the ground pin current.
Note 6: The MIC2937A family features fold-back current limiting. The short circuit (VOUT = 0V) current limit is less than the maximum
current with normal output voltage.
Note 7: Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time T after a change in power dissipation is applied, exclud-
ing load or line regulation effects. Specifications are for a 200mA load pulse at VIN = 20V (a 4W pulse) for T = 10ms.
Note 8: VREF ≤ VOUT ≤ (VIN – 1 V), 4.3V ≤ VIN ≤ 26V, 5mA < IL ≤ 750 mA, TJ ≤ TJ MAX.
Note 9: Comparator thresholds are expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the Adjust terminal below the nominal reference voltage
measured at 6V input (for a 5V regulator). To express these thresholds in terms of output voltage change, multiply by the error amplifier
gain = VOUT /VREF = (R1 + R2)/R2. For example, at a programmed output voltage of 5V, the Error output is guaranteed to go low when
the output drops by 95 mV x 5V/1.235 V = 384 mV. Thresholds remain constant as a percent of VOUT as VOUT is varied, with the dropout
warning occurring at typically 5% below nominal, 7.7% guaranteed.
Note 10: Circuit of Figure 3 with R1 ≥ 150kΩ. VSHUTDOWN ≥ 2V and VIN ≤ 26V,VOUT = 0.
Note 11: When used in dual supply systems where the regulator load is returned to a negative supply, the output voltage must be diode
clamped to ground.
Note 12: Maximum positive supply voltage of 60V must be of limited duration (< 100ms) and duty cycle ( ≤ 1%). The maximum continu-
ous supply voltage is 26V.

Applications Information
External Capacitors
A 10µF (or greater) capacitor is required between the MIC2937A
output and ground to prevent oscillations due to instability. Most
types of tantalum or aluminum electrolytics will be adequate;
film types will work, but are costly and therefore not recom-
mended. Many aluminum electrolytics have electrolytes that
freeze at about –30°C, so solid tantalums are recommended
for operation below –25°C. The important parameters of the
capacitor are an effective series resistance of about 5Ω or
less and a resonant frequency above 500kHz. The value of
this capacitor may be increased without limit.
At lower values of output current, less output capacitance is
required for output stability. The capacitor can be reduced to
0.5µF for current below 10mA or 0.15µF for currents below
1 mA. Adjusting the MIC29372 to voltages below 5V runs the
error amplifier at lower gains so that more output capacitance
is needed. For the worst-case situation of a 750mA load at
1.23V output (Output shorted to Adjust) a 22µF (or greater)
capacitor should be used.
The MIC2937A/29371 will remain in regulation with a minimum
load of 5mA. When setting the output voltage of the MIC29372
version with external resistors, the current through these resis-
tors may be included as a portion of the minimum load.
A 0.1µF capacitor should be placed from the input to ground
if there is more than 10 inches of wire between the input and
the AC filter capacitor or if a battery is used as the input.
Error Detection Comparator Output (MIC29371)
A logic low output will be produced by the comparator when-
ever the MIC29371 output falls out of regulation by more than
approximately 5%. This figure is the comparator’s built-in
offset of about 75mV divided by the 1.235V reference volt-
age. (Refer to the block diagram on Page 1). This trip level
remains “5% below normal” regardless of the programmed
output voltage of the MIC29371. For example, the error flag
trip level is typically 4.75V for a 5V output or 11.4V for a 12V
output. The out of regulation condition may be due either to
low input voltage,extremely high input voltage, current limit-
ing, or thermal limiting.
Figure 1 is a timing diagram depicting the ERROR signal
and the regulated output voltage as the MIC29371 input is
ramped up and down. The ERROR signal becomes valid (low)
at about 1.3V input. It goes high at about 5V input (the input
voltage at which VOUT = 4.75). Since the MIC29371’s dropout
voltage is load-dependent (see curve in Typical Performance
Characteristics), the input voltage trip point (about 5V) will
vary with the load current. The output voltage trip point (ap-
proximately 4.75V) does not vary with load.
* SEE APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Figure 1. ERROR Output Timing
The error comparator has an NPN open-collector output which
requires an external pull-up resistor. Depending on system
requirements, this resistor may be returned to the 5V output
or some other supply voltage. In determining a value for this
resistor, note that while the output is rated to sink 250µA, this
sink current adds to battery drain in a low battery condition.
Suggested values range from 100k to 1MΩ. The resistor is
not required if this output is unused.
Programming the Output Voltage (MIC29372)
The MIC29372 may programmed for any output voltage be-
tween its 1.235V reference and its 26V maximum rating. An
external pair of resistors is required, as shown in Figure 3.
The complete equation for the output voltage is
VOUT = VREF x { 1 + R1/R2 } – |IFB| R1
where VREF is the nominal 1.235 reference voltage and IFB is
the Adjust pin bias current, nominally 20nA. The minimum rec-
ommended load current of 1µA forces an upper limit of 1.2MΩ
on the value of R2, if the regulator must work with no load (a
condition often found in CMOS in standby), IFB will produce
a –2% typical error in VOUT which may be eliminated at room
temperature by trimming R1. For better accuracy, choosing
R2 = 100k reduces this error to 0.17% while increasing the
resistor program current to 12µA. Since the MIC29372 typically
draws 100µA at no load with SHUTDOWN open-circuited,
this is a negligible addition.
Reducing Output Noise
In reference applications it may be advantageous to reduce
the AC noise present at the output. One method is to reduce
the regulator bandwidth by increasing the size of the output
capacitor. This is relatively inefficient, as increasing the capaci-
tor from 1µF to 220µF only decreases the noise from 430µV
to 160µVRMS for a 100kHz bandwidth at 5V output. Noise can
be reduced by a factor of four with the adjustable regulators

Automotive Applications
The MIC2937A is ideally suited for automotive applications
for a variety of reasons. It will operate over a wide range of
input voltages with very low dropout voltages (40mV at light
loads), and very low quiescent currents (100µA typical). These
features are necessary for use in battery powered systems,
such as automobiles. It is a “bulletproof” device with the abil-
ity to survive both reverse battery (negative transients up to
20V below ground), and load dump (positive transients up to
60V) conditions. A wide operating temperature range with low
temperature coefficients is yet another reason to use these
versatile regulators in automotive designs.

with a bypass capacitor across R1, since it reduces the high
frequency gain from 4 to unity. Pick
or about 0.01µF. When doing this, the output capacitor must
be increased to 10µF to maintain stability. These changes
reduce the output noise from 430µV to 100µVRMS for a 100
kHz bandwidth at 5V output. With the bypass capacitor added,
noise no longer scales with output voltage so that improve-
ments are more dramatic at higher output voltages.
