General Description

The MIC5233 is a 100mA highly accurate, low dropout

regulator with high input voltage and ultra-low ground

current. This combination of high voltage and low ground

current makes the MIC5233 ideal for multi-cell Li-Ion

battery systems.

A μCap LDO design, the MIC5233 is stable with either

ceramic or tantalum output capacitor. It only requires a

2.2μF capacitor for stability.

Application Information

Enable/Shutdown

The MIC5233 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.

Input Capacitor

The MIC5233 has high input voltage capability up to

36V. 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. A larger value may be required if the

source supply has high ripple.

Output Capacitor

The MIC5233 requires an output capacitor for stability.

The design requires 2.2µF 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 3Ω. 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

an X7R ceramic capacitor to ensure the same minimum

capacitance over the equivalent operating temperature

range.

No-Load Stability

The MIC5233 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 Consideration

The MIC5233 is designed to provide 100mA 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:

⎟

⎠

⎞

⎜

⎝

⎛

−

A)MAX(J

)MAX(D

TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature of the die,

125°C, and TA is the ambient operating temperature. θJA

is layout dependent; Table 1 shows examples of the

junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the MIC5233.

Minimum Footprint

SOT-23-5 235°C/W

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 + 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 MIC5233-3.0BM5 at

50°C with a minimum footprint layout, the maximum

input voltage for a set output current can be determined

as follows:

P)MAX(D

PD(MAX) = 319mW

The junction-to-ambient (θJA) thermal resistance for the

minimum footprint is 235°C/W, from Table 1. It is

important that the maximum power dissipation not be

exceeded to ensure proper operation. Since the

MIC5233 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 × IGND

Due to the potential for input voltages up to 36V, 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 50°C ambient, 319mV.

PD(MAX) = (VIN – VOUT)IOUT + VIN × IGND

319mW = (VIN – 3V)100mA + VIN x 2.8mA

Ground pin current is estimated using the typical

characteristics of the device.

619mW = VIN (102.8mA)

VIN = 6.02V

For higher current outputs only a lower input voltage will

work for higher ambient temperatures.
