MIC5355/6 Dual 500mA Cap Low Dropout, Micropower Linear Regulator General Description Features The MIC5355/6 is an advanced dual, micropower, low dropout linear regulator. The MIC5355/6 provides low quiescent current operation, using only 70A with both outputs enabled making it ideal for battery-powered systems. In shutdown, the quiescent current drops to less than 1A. The MIC5355/6 provides two independentlycontrolled high-performance 500mA LDOs with typical dropout voltage of 350mV at rated load. In addition, the MIC5355/6 is optimized to provide fast load and line transient performance with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors, requiring a minimum of only 2.2F. The MIC5356 also incorporates an active discharge feature when the part is disabled that switches in a 30 load to pull down the output of the regulator. The MIC5355/6 is available in fixed output voltages in a thermally-enhanced 8-pin ePad MSOP package or 8-pin ePad 3mm x 3mm MLF(R) package.

MIC5355/6 Application Information Enable/Shutdown The MIC5355/6 comes with two active high enable pins that allow each regulator to be disabled independently. Forcing the enable pin low disables the regulator and places it into an off mode current state drawing virtually zero current. When disabled, the MIC5356 switches an internal 30 load on the regulator output to discharge the external capacitor. Forcing the enable pin high enables the output voltage. The active high enable pin uses CMOS technology and cannot be left floating. A floating enable pin may cause an indeterminate state on the output. MIC5355/6 is a dual 500mA LDO. The MIC5356 includes an auto-discharge circuit for each LDO output that is activated when the output is disabled. The MIC5355/6 regulator is fully protected from damage due to fault conditions through linear current limiting and thermal shutdown. Input Capacitor The MIC5355/6 is a high-performance, high-bandwidth device. A 2.2F input capacitor from the input pin to ground is required to provide stability. Low-ESR ceramic capacitors provide optimal performance in small board area. 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. X5R or X7R dielectrics are recommended for the input capacitor. Y5V dielectrics lose most of their capacitance over temperature and are therefore not recommended. Thermal Considerations The MIC5355/6 is designed to provide two 500mA continuous current outputs in a small package. Maximum operating temperature can be calculated based on the output currents and the voltage drop across the part. For example, if the input voltage is 3.0V, VOUT1 = 2.5V, VOUT2 = 1.8V and each with an output current = 500mA. The actual power dissipation of the regulator circuit can be determined using the equation: Output Capacitor The MIC5355/6 requires an output capacitor of 2.2F or greater to maintain stability. The design is optimized for use with low-ESR ceramic chip capacitors. High-ESR capacitors may cause high-frequency oscillation. The output capacitor can be increased, but performance has been optimized for a 2.2F ceramic output capacitor and does not improve significantly with larger capacitance. X7R and X5R dielectric ceramic capacitors are recommended because of their temperature performance. X7R 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 = (VIN VOUT1) IOUT (VIN VOUT2) IOUT2 VIN IGND Because this is CMOS device and the ground current is typically <100A over the load range, the power dissipation contributed by the ground current is <1% which can be ignored for this calculation: PD = (3.0V - 2.5V) x 500mA + (3.0V - 1.8V) x 500mA PD = 0.85W To determine the maximum ambient operating temperature of the package, use the junction to ambient thermal resistance of the device and the following basic equation: TJ(MAX) TA PD(MAX) JA No Load Stability Unlike many other voltage regulators, the MIC5355/6 will remain stable and in regulation with no load. TJ(MAX) = 125C JA = 64.4C/W March 2012 9 M9999-031512-A Micrel, Inc. MIC5355/6 Substituting PD for PD(MAX) and solving for the ambient operating temperature will give the maximum operating conditions for the regulator circuit. The junction to ambient thermal resistance for the minimum footprint is 64.4C/W. The maximum power dissipation must not be exceeded for proper operation. For example, when operating a 2.5V/1.8V application with an input voltage of 3.0V and 500mA at each output with a minimum footprint layout, the maximum ambient operating temperature TA can be determined as follows: 0.85W = (125C - TA)/(64.4C/W) TA = 70.3C Therefore, a MIC5355-JGYMME application with 500mA at each output current can accept an ambient operating temperature of 70.3C in a small 8-pin ePad MSOP package.
