MIC5235 Application Information TJ(MAX) - TA PD(MAX) = JA Enable/Shutdown The MIC5235 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. 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 the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the MIC5235. Input Capacitor The MIC5235 has high input voltage capability up to 24V. The input capacitor must be rated to sustain voltages that may be used on the input. An input capacitor may be required when the device is not near the source power supply or when supplied by a battery. Small, surface mount, ceramic capacitors can be used for bypassing. Larger values may be required if the source supply has high ripple. Package JA Recommended Minimum Footprint SOT-23-5 235C 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 + VINIGND 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 MIC5235-3.0BM5 at 50C with a minimum footprint layout, the maximum input voltage for a set output current can be determined as follows: Output Capacitor The MIC5235 requires an output capacitor for stability. The design requires 2.2F 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 3. The output capacitor can be increased without limit. Larger valued capacitors help to improve transient response. 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 a X7R ceramic capacitor to ensure the same minimum capacitance over the equivalent operating temperature range. 125C - 50C PD(MAX) = 235C/W PD(MAX) = 319mW The junction-to-ambient (JA) thermal resistance for the minimum footprint is 235C/W, from Table 1. It is important that the maximum power dissipation not be exceeded to ensure proper operation. Since the MIC5235 was designed to operate with high input voltages, careful consideration must be given so as not to overheat the device. With very high input-to-output voltage differentials, the output current is limited by the total power dissipation. Total power dissipation is calculated using the following equation: PD = (VIN - VOUT)IOUT + VIN x IGND Due to the potential for input voltages up to 24V, ground current must be taken into consideration. If we know the maximum load current, we can solve for the maximum input voltage using the maximum power dissipation calculated for a 50C ambient, 319mV. PD(MAX) = (VIN - VOUT)IOUT + VIN x IGND 319mW = (VIN - 3V)150mA + VIN x 2.8mA Ground pin current is estimated using the typical characteristics of the device. 769mW = VIN (152.8mA) VIN = 5.03V For higher current outputs only a lower input voltage will work for higher ambient temperatures. Assuming a lower output current of 20mA, the maximum input voltage can be recalculated: No-Load Stability The MIC5235 will remain stable and in regulation with no load unlike many other voltage regulators. This is especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive applications. Thermal Considerations The MIC5235 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: May 2008 7 M9999-051508 Micrel, Inc. MIC5235 Where VREF = 1.24V. Feedback resistor R2 should be no larger than 300k. 319mW = (VIN - 3V)20mA + VIN x 0.2mA 379mW = VIN x 20.2mA VIN = 18.8V Maximum input voltage for a 20mA load current at 50C ambient temperature is 18.8V, utilizing virtually the entire operating voltage range of the device.
