Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device. 2. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating. 3. The maximum allowable power dissipation of any TA (ambient temperature) is PD(max) = (TJ(max)-TA)/JA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. The JA of the MIC5252-x.xBM5 (all versions) is 235C/W on a PC board. See "Thermal Considerations" section for further details. 4. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended. 5. Specification for packaged product only. 6. Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Parts are tested for load regulation in the load range from 0.1mA to 150mA. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered by the thermal regulation specification. 7. Dropout Voltage is defined as the input-to-output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal value measured at 1V differential. For outputs below 2.7V, dropout voltage is the input-to-output voltage differential with the minimum input voltage 2.7V. Minimum input operating voltage is 2.7V. 8. Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of the load current plus the ground pin current.

Applications Information No-Load Stability The MIC5252 will remain stable and in regulation with no load unlike many other voltage regulators. This is especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive applications. Enable/Shutdown The MIC5252 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. This part is CMOS and the enable pin cannot be left floating; a floating enable pin may cause an indeterminate state on the output. Thermal Considerations The MIC5252 is designed to provide 150mA of continuous current in a very small package. Maximum power dissipation can be calculated based on the output current and the voltage drop across the part. To determine the maximum power dissipation of the package, use the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the device and the following basic equation: T (max) - T A PD (max) = J JA Input Capacitor The MIC5252 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. TJ(max) is the maximum junction temperature of the die, 125C, and TA is the ambient operating temperature. JA is layout dependent; Table 1 shows examples of junction-toambient thermal resistance for the MIC5252. Package Output Capacitor SOT-23-5 (M5 or D5) The MIC5252 requires an output capacitor for stability. The design requires 1F or greater on the output to maintain stability. The design is optimized for use with low-ESR ceramic chip capacitors. High ESR capacitors may cause high frequency oscillation. The maximum recommended ESR is 300m. 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. JA 1" Square Copper Clad JC 235C/W 185C/W 145C/W Table 1. SOT-23-5 Thermal Resistance The actual power dissipation of the regulator circuit can be determined using the equation: PD = (VIN - VOUT) IOUT + VIN IGND Substituting PD(max) for PD and solving for the operating conditions that are critical to the application will give the maximum operating conditions for the regulator circuit. For example, when operating the MIC5252-2.8BM5 at 50C with a minimum footprint layout, the maximum input voltage for a set output current can be determined as follows: 125 C - 50 C PD (max) = 235 C/W 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. PD(max) = 315mW The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the minimum footprint is 235C/W, from Table 1. The maximum power dissipation must not be exceeded for proper operation. Using the output voltage of 2.8V and an output current of 150mA, the maximum input voltage can be determined. 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. Bypass Capacitor A capacitor is required from the noise bypass pin to ground to reduce output voltage noise. The capacitor bypasses the internal reference. A 0.01F capacitor is recommended for applications that require low-noise outputs. The bypass capacitor can be increased, further reducing noise and improving PSRR. Turn-on time increases slightly with respect to bypass capacitance. A unique quick-start circuit allows the MIC5252 to drive a large capacitor on the bypass pin without significantly slowing turn-on time. Refer to the "Typical Characteristics" section for performance with different bypass capacitors. 315mW = (VIN - 2.8V) 150mA 315mW = VIN x 150mA - 420mW 735mW = VIN x 150mA VIN(max) = 4.9V Therefore, a 2.8V application at 150mA of output current can accept a maximum input voltage of 4.9V in a SOT-23-5 package. For a full discussion of heat sinking and thermal effects on voltage regulators, refer to the "Regulator Thermals" section of Micrel's Designing with Low-Dropout Voltage Regulators handbook. Active Shutdown The MIC5252 also features an active shutdown clamp, which is an N-Channel MOSFET that turns on when the device is disabled. This allows the output capacitor and load to discharge, de-energizing the load. M9999-020305 JA Recommended Minimum Footprint 8 February 2005 MIC5252 Micrel, Inc.
