MIC5375/6/7/8 Functional Characteristics January 2009 7 M9999-011309-B Micrel, Inc. MIC5375/6/7/8 Application Information Enable/Shutdown The MIC5375/6/7/8 is provided 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. MIC5375/6/7/8 is Low noise 150mA LDO. The MIC5376/8 includes an auto-discharge circuit that is switched on when the regulator is disabled through the enable pin. The MIC5375/6/7/8 regulator is protected from damage due to fault conditions, offering linear current limiting and thermal shutdown. Input Capacitor The MIC5375/6/7/8 is a high-performance, high bandwidth device. An input capacitor of 1F is required from the input to ground to provide stability. Low-ESR ceramic capacitors provide optimal performance at a minimum of space. 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. Adjustable Regulator Design The MIC5377/8 adjustable version allows setting the output voltage down to 1V with the use of two external feedback resistors. J1 VIN J5 EN J2 GND Output Capacitor For output voltages 2.5V, the MIC5375/6/7/8 requires a minimum 1F output capacitor. For output voltages below 2.5V a 2.2F minimum output capacitor is required. The design is optimized for use with low-ESR ceramic chip capacitors. High ESR capacitors are not recommended because they may cause high frequency oscillation. The output capacitor can be increased, but performance does not improve significantly with larger capacitance. 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.

Maximum ambient operating temperature can be calculated based on the output current and the voltage drop across the part. For example if the input voltage is 3.6V, the output voltage is 2.8V, and the output current = 150mA. The actual power dissipation of the regulator circuit can be determined using the equation: PD = (VIN - VOUT1) I OUT + VIN IGND 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. PD = (3.6V - 2.8V) x 150mA PD = 0.12W 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: No-Load Stability Unlike many other voltage regulators, the MIC5375/6/7/8 will remain stable and in regulation with no load. This is especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive applications. TJ(max) - TA PD(max) = JA TJ(max) = 125C, the maximum junction temperature of the die, JA thermal resistance = 250C/W for the YMT package and 256.5C/W for the SC-70-5 package. January 2009 8 M9999-011309-B Micrel, Inc. MIC5375/6/7/8 Therefore the maximum ambient operating temperature of 95C is allowed in a 1mm x 1mm TMLF(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 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 250C/W. The maximum power dissipation must not be exceeded for proper operation. For example, when operating the MIC5375-2.8YMT at an input voltage of 3.6V and 150mA load with a minimum footprint layout, the maximum ambient operating temperature TA can be determined as follows: 0.12W = (125C - TA)/(250C/W) TA = 95C January 2009 9 M9999-011309-B Micrel, Inc.
