MIC5353 500mA LDO in 1.6mm x 1.6mm Package General Description Features The MIC5353 is a high-performance, single-output, ultralow LDO (ULDOTM) regulator, offering a low total output noise of 30VRMS. The MIC5353 is capable of sourcing 500mA output current and offers high-PSRR and lowoutput noise, making it an ideal solution for RF applications. The MIC5353 provides 2% accuracy, extremely low dropout voltage (160mV @ 500mA), and low ground current (typically 90A) making it ideal for battery-operated applications. When disabled, the MIC5353 enters a zerooff-mode current state, thereby drawing almost no current. The MIC5353 is available in the 1.6mm x 1.6mm Thin MLF(R) package, occupying only 2.56mm2 of PCB area, a 36% reduction in board area compared to SC-70 and 2mm x 2mm Thin MLF(R) packages. The MIC5353 has an operating junction temperature range of -40C to +125C and is available in fixed and adjustable output voltages in lead-free (RoHS-compliant) Thin MLF(R) package.

MIC5353 Functional Characteristics May 2010 6 M9999-052510 Micrel, Inc. MIC5353 A unique, quick-start circuit allows the MIC5353 to drive a large capacitor on the bypass pin without significantly slowing turn-on time. Applications Information Enable/Shutdown The MIC5353 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. The active-high enable pin uses CMOS technology and the enable pin cannot be left floating; a floating enable pin may cause an indeterminate state on the output. No-Load Stability Unlike many other voltage regulators, the MIC5353 will remain stable and in regulation with no load. This is especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive applications. Adjustable Regulator Application Adjustable regulators use the ratio of two resistors to multiply the reference voltage to produce the desired output voltage. The MIC5353 can be adjusted from 1.25V to 5.5V by using two external resistors (Figure 1). The resistors set the output voltage based on the following equation: Input Capacitor The MIC5353 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. The use of additional high-frequency capacitors, such as smallvalued NPO dielectric-type capacitors, help filter out high-frequency noise and are good practice in any RFbased circuit. R1 VOUT = VREF 1 + R2 VREF = 1.25V Output Capacitor The MIC5353 requires an output capacitor of 1F 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, although performance has been optimized for a 1F ceramic output capacitor and doing so does not improve significantly with larger capacitance. X7R/X5R dielectric-type ceramic capacitors are recommended because of their temperature performance. The 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 thereby ensuring the same minimum capacitance over the equivalent operating temperature range. Figure 1. Adjustable Voltage Output Thermal Considerations The MIC5353 is designed to provide 500mA of continuous current. Maximum ambient operating temperature can be calculated based on the output current and the voltage drop across the part. Given that the input voltage is 3.3V, the output voltage is 2.8V and the output current = 500mA. The actual power dissipation of the regulator circuit can be determined using the equation: PD = (VIN - VOUT) IOUT + VIN IGND Bypass Capacitor A capacitor can be placed from the noise bypass pin-toground to reduce output voltage noise. The capacitor bypasses the internal reference. A 0.1F 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. May 2010 7 M9999-052510 Micrel, Inc. MIC5353 The maximum power dissipation must not be exceeded for proper operation. 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: For example, when operating the MIC5353-2.8YMT at an input voltage of 3.3V and 500mA load with a minimum footprint layout, the maximum ambient operating temperature TA can be determined as follows: PD = (3.3V - 2.8V) x 500mA PD = 0.25W 0.25W = (125C - TA)/(92.4C/W) 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: PD(MAX) = TA=101C Therefore, a 2.8V application with 500mA of output current can accept an ambient operating temperature of 101C in a 1.6mm x 1.6mm Thin MLF(R) 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. This information can be found on Micrel's website at: http://www.micrel.com/_PDF/other/LDOBk_ds.pdf TJ(MAX) - TA JA TJ(max) = 125C, the maximum junction temperature of the die JA thermal resistance = 92.4C/W. Thermal Resistance Substituting PD for PD(max) and solving for the ambient operating temperature will give the maximum operating conditions for the regulator circuit. The junction-toambient thermal resistance for the minimum footprint is 92.4C/W. May 2010 8 M9999-052510 Micrel, Inc.
