On the adjustable version as shown in Figure 4, the VREF is available externally as 1.25V between VOUT and ADJ. The voltage ratio formed by R1 and R2 should be set to conduct 10mA (minimum output load). The output voltage is given by the following equation : RT9164A requires a capacitor from VOUT to GND to provide compensation feedback to the internal gain stage. This is to ensure stability at the output terminal. Typically, 10F tantalum or 50F aluminum electrolytic with 30m to 2 range capacitor is sufficient. VOUT = VREF (1 + R2 R1 ) + IADJ R2 On fixed versions of RT9164A, the voltage divider is provided internally. The output capacitor does not have a theoretical upper limit and increasing its value will increase stability. COUT = 100F or more is typical for high current regulator design.

Basic Adjustable Regulator Input Bypass Capacitor Instable Instable 0.01 0 0.2 An input capacitor is recommended. A 10F tantalum on the input is a suitable input bypassing for almost all applications. 0.4 0.6 0.8 1 Load Current (A) Figure 5 Adjust Terminal Bypass Capacitor Load Regulation The adjust terminal can be bypassed to ground with a bypass capacitor (CADJ) to improve ripple rejection. This bypass capacitor prevents ripple from being amplified as the output voltage is increased. At any ripple frequency, the impedance of the CADJ should be less than R1 to prevent the ripple from being amplified : When the adjustable regulator is used (Figure 6), the best load regulation is accomplished when the top of the resistor divider (R1) is connected directly to the output pin of the RT9164A. When so connected, RP is not multiplied by the divider ratio. For Fixed output version, the top of R1 is internally connected to the output and ground pins can be connected to low side of the load. (2 x fRIPPLE x CADJ) < R1 The R1 is the resistor between the output and the adjust pin. Its value is normally in the range of 100-200. For example, with R1 = 124 and fRIPPLE = 120Hz, the CADJ should be > 11F. www.richtek.com 10 DS9164A-15 April 2011 RT9164A VIN RT9164A VIN VOUT ADJ RP Parasitic Line Resistance R1 (Connect R1 to VOUT or case) RL R2 Connect R2 to load Figure 6. Best Load Regulation Using Adjustable Output Regulator Thermal Protection RT9164A has thermal protection which limits junction temperature to 150C. However, device functionality is only guaranteed to a maximum junction temperature of 125C. The power dissipation and junction temperature for RT9164A are given by PD = (VIN - VOUT) x IOUT TJUNCTION = TAMBIENT + (PD x JA) Note: TJUNCTION must not exceed 125 C Current Limit Protection RT9164A is protected against overload conditions. Current protection is triggered at typically 1.8A. Thermal Consideration The RT9164A series contain thermal limiting circuitry designed to protect itself from over-temperature conditions. Even for normal load conditions, maximum junction temperature ratings must not be exceeded. As mention in thermal protection section, we need to consider all sources of thermal resistance between junction and ambient. It includes junction-to-case, case-to-heat-sink interface, and heat sink thermal resistance itself. Junction-to-case thermal resistance is specified from the IC junction to the bottom of the case directly below the die. Proper mounting is required to ensure the best possible thermal flow from this area of the package to the heat sink. The case of all devices in this series is electrically connected to the output. Therefore, if the case of the device must be electrically isolated, a thermally conductive spacer is recommended.
