MIC5205 150mA Low-Noise LDO Regulator General Description Features The MIC5205 is an efficient linear voltage regulator with ultra low-noise output, very low dropout voltage (typically 17mV at light loads and 165mV at 150mA), and very low ground current (600A at 100mA output). The MIC5205 offers better than 1% initial accuracy. Designed especially for hand-held, battery-powered devices, the MIC5205 includes a CMOS or TTL compatible enable/shutdown control input. When shut down, power consumption drops nearly to zero. Regulator ground current increases only slightly in dropout, further prolonging battery life. Key MIC5205 features include a reference bypass pin to improve its already excellent low-noise performance, reversed-battery protection, current limiting, and overtemperature shutdown. The MIC5205 is available in fixed and adjustable output voltage versions in a small SOT-23-5 package. For low-dropout regulators that are stable with ceramic output capacitors, see the Cap MIC5245/6/7 family.

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 at 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 MIC5205-xxBM5 (all versions) is 220C/W mounted on a PC board (see "Thermal Considerations" section for further details). 4. Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current plus pass transistor base current. The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of the load current plus the ground pin current. 8, Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time "t" after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load or line regulation effects. Specifications are for a 150mA load pulse at VIN = 16V for t = 10ms.

Application Information No-Load Stability The MIC5205 will remain stable and in regulation with no load (other than the internal voltage divider) unlike many other voltage regulators. This is especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive applications. Enable/Shutdown Forcing EN (enable/shutdown) high (> 2V) enables the regulator. EN is compatible with CMOS logic gates. If the enable/shutdown feature is not required, connect EN (pin 3) to IN (supply input, pin 1). See Figure 1. Thermal Considerations The MIC5205 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: Input Capacitor A 1F capacitor should be placed from IN to GND 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. Reference Bypass Capacitor BYP (reference bypass) is connected to the internal voltage reference. A 470pF capacitor (CBYP) connected from BYP to GND quiets this reference, providing a significant reduction in output noise. CBYP reduces the regulator phase margin; when using CBYP, output capacitors of 2.2F or greater are generally required to maintain stability. The start-up speed of the MIC5205 is inversely proportional to the size of the reference bypass capacitor. Applications requiring a slow ramp-up of output voltage should consider larger values of CBYP. Likewise, if rapid turn-on is necessary, consider omitting CBYP. If output noise is not a major concern, omit CBYP and leave BYP open. PD(max) = JA 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 MIC5205. Package JA JA Square Recommended Copper Clad Minimum Footprint SOT-23-5(M5) 220C/W 170C/W Table 1. SOT-23-5 Thermal Resistance JC 130C/W 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 MIC5205-3.3BM5 at room temperature with a minimum footprint layout, the maximum input voltage for a set output current can be determined as follows: Output Capacitor An output capacitor is required between OUT and GND to prevent oscillation. The minimum size of the output capacitor is dependent upon whether a reference bypass capacitor is used. 1.0F minimum is recommended when CBYP is not used (see Figure 2). 2.2F minimum is recommended when CBYP is 470pF (see Figure 1). Larger values improve the regulator's transient response. The output capacitor value may be increased without limit. The output capacitor should have an ESR (effective series resistance) of about 5 or less and a resonant frequency above 1MHz. Ultra-low-ESR capacitors can cause a low amplitude oscillation on the output and/or underdamped transient response. Most tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors are adequate; film types will work, but are more expensive. Since many aluminum electrolytics have electrolytes that freeze at about - 30C, solid tantalums are recommended for operation below -25C. At lower values of output current, less output capacitance is required for output stability. The capacitor can be reduced to 0.47F for current below 10mA or February 2006 (TJ(max) - TA ) PD(max) = (125C - 25C) 220C/W PD(max) = 455mW The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the minimum footprint is 220C/W, from Table 1. The maximum power dissipation must not be exceeded for proper operation. Using the output voltage of 3.3V and an output current of 150mA, the maximum input voltage can be determined. From the Electrical Characteristics table, the maximum ground current for 150mA output current is 2500A or 2.5mA. 455mW = (VIN - 3.3V) 150mA + VIN*2.5mA 455mW = VINx150mA - 495mW + VIN*2.5mA 950mW = VINx152.5mA 8 M9999-020806 (408) 955-1690 Micrel MIC5205 resistors set the output voltage based on the following equation: VIN(max) = 6.23V Therefore, a 3.3V application at 150mA of output current can accept a maximum input voltage of 6.2V in a SOT23-5 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. R2 VOUT = 1.242V x + 1 R1 This equation is correct due to the configuration of the bandgap reference. The bandgap voltage is relative to the output, as seen in the block diagram. Traditional regulators normally have the reference voltage relative to ground and have a different VOUT equation. Resistor values are not critical because ADJ (adjust) has a high input impedance, but for best results use resistors of 470k or less. A capacitor from ADJ to ground provides greatly improved noise performance. Fixed Regulator Applications Figure 1. Ultra-Low-Noise Fixed Voltage Application Figure 1 includes a 470pF capacitor for low-noise operation and shows EN (pin 3) connected to IN (pin 1) for an application where enable/shutdown is not required. COUT = 2.2F minimum. Figure 3. Ultra-Low-Noise Adjustable Voltage Application Figure 3 includes the optional 470pF noise bypass capacitor from ADJ to GND to reduce output noise. Figure 2. Low-Noise Fixed Voltage Application Dual-Supply Operation 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. Figure 2 is an example of a low-noise configuration where CBYP is not required. COUT = 1F minimum. Adjustable Regulator Applications The MIC5205BM5 can be adjusted to a specific output voltage by using two external resistors (Figure 3).
