MIC5201 Micrel, Inc. MIC5201 200mA Low-Dropout Regulator General Description Features The MIC5201 is an efficient linear voltage regulator with very low dropout voltage (typically 17mV at light loads and 200mV at 100mA), and very low ground current (1mA at 100mA output), offering better than 1% initial accuracy with a logic compatible on-off switching input. Designed especially for hand-held battery powered devices, the MIC5201 can be switched by a CMOS or TTL compatible enable signal. This enable control may be connected directly to VIN if unneeded. When disabled, power consumption drops nearly to zero. The ground current of the MIC5201 increases only slightly in dropout, further prolonging battery life. Key MIC5201 features include current limiting, overtemperature shutdown, and protection against reversed battery. The MIC5201 is available in several fixed voltages and accuracy configurations. It features the same pinout as the LT1121 with better performance. Other options are available; contact Micrel for details. * * * * * * * * * * * * * Applications * * * * * * * Ordering Information Standard Part Number PbFree High output voltage accuracy Variety of output voltages Guaranteed 200mA output Low quiescent current Low dropout voltage Extremely tight load and line regulation Very low temperature coefficient Current and thermal limiting Reversed-battery protection Load-dump protection (fixed voltage versions) Zero off-mode current Logic-controlled electronic enable Available in SO-8 and SOT-223 packages Cellular telephones Laptop, notebook, and palmtop computers Battery powered equipment PCMCIA VCC and VPP regulation/switching Bar code scanners SMPS post-regulator/ dc-to-dc modules High-efficiency linear power supplies Voltage Junction Temp.* Package MIC5201BM MIC5201YM Adj. -40C to +125C SO-8 MIC5201-3.0BM MIC5201-3.0YM 3.0V -40C to +125C SO-8 MIC5201-3.3BM MIC5201-3.3YM 3.3V -40C to +125C SO-8 MIC5201-5.0BM MIC5201-5.0YM 5.0V -40C to +125C SO-8 MIC5201-3.0BS MIC5201-3.0YS 3.0V -40C to +125C SOT-223 MIC5201-3.3BS MIC5201-3.3YS 3.3V -40C to +125C SOT-223 MIC5201-4.8BS MIC5201-4.8YS 4.8V -40C to +125C SOT-223 MIC5201-5.0BS MIC5201-5.0YS 5.0V -40C to +125C SOT-223 Other voltages available.

Coef. 1.223 1.217 20 ppm/C General Note: Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended. Note 1: Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Electrical specifications do not apply when operating the device outside of its rated operating conditions. The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, TJ(max), the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, JA, and the ambient temperature, TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated using: P(max) = (TJ(max) - AT) / JA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. The JC of the MIC5201-x.xBS is 15C/W and JA for the MIC5201BM is 160C/W mounted on a PC board (see "Thermal Considerations" section for further details). Note 2: Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst-case voltage change divided by the total temperature range. Note 3: Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Parts are tested for load regulation in the load range from 0.1mA to 200mA. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered by the thermal regulation specification. Note 4: Dropout Voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal value measured at 1V differential. Note 5: Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current plus pass transistor base current. The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of the load current plus the ground pin current. Note 6: Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time "t" after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load or line regulation effects. Specifications are for a 200mA load pulse at VIN = 26V for fixed and VIN = 16V for adjustable at t = 10ms. June 2005 3 MIC5201 MIC5201 Micrel, Inc. Block Diagrams VIN OUT IN VOUT COUT Bandgap Ref.

Applications Information VIN IN Figure 1 shows a basic fixed-voltage application with the unused enable input connected to VIN. MIC5201-x.xBM MIC5201-x.xBS VIN IN EN R1 3.3F R2 CADJ Figure 3. Decreasing Ouput Noise 1F Minimum Load The MIC5201 will remain stable and in regulation with no load unlike many other voltage regulators. This is especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive applications. Dual-Supply Systems When used in dual supply systems where the regulator load is returned to a negative supply, the output voltage must be diode clamped to ground. Thermal Considerations Layout The MIC5201-x.xBM (8-pin surface mount package) has the following thermal characteristics when mounted on a single layer copper-clad printed circuit board. Figure 1. Fixed Application Adjustable regulators require two resistors to set the output voltage. See Figure 2. MIC5201BM EN ADJ GND OUT GND IN VOUT OUT VOUT EN VIN MIC5201BM VOUT OUT ADJ GND R1 3.3F R2 R2 VOUT = 1.242V 1 + R1 Figure 2. Adjustable Application Resistors values are not critical because ADJ (adjust) has a high impedance, but for best results use resistors of 470k or less. PC Board Dielectric FR4 Ceramic Output Capacitors A 1F capacitor is recommended between the MIC5201 output and ground to prevent oscillations due to instability. Larger values serve to improve the regulator's transient response. Most types of tantalum or aluminum electrolytics will be adequate; film types will work, but are costly and therefore not recommended. Many aluminum electrolytics have electrolytes that freeze at about -30C, so solid tantalums are recommended for operation below -25C. The important parameters of the capacitor are an effective series resistance of about 5 or less and a resonant frequency above 500kHz. The value of this capacitor may be increased without limit. JA 160C/W 120C/W Multilayer boards having a ground plane, wide traces near the pads, and large supply bus lines provide better thermal conductivity. The "worst case" value of 160C/W assumes no ground plane, minimum trace widths, and a FR4 material board. Nominal Power Dissipation and Die Temperature The MIC5201-x.xBM at a 25C ambient temperature will operate reliably at up to 625mW power dissipation when mounted in the "worst case" manner described above. At an ambient temperature of 55C, the device may safely dissipate 440mW. These power levels are equivalent to a die temperature of 125C, the recommended maximum temperature for non-military grade silicon integrated circuits. At lower values of output current, less output capacitance is required for output stability. The capacitor can be reduced to 0.47F for current below 10mA or 0.33F for currents below 1mA. For MIC5201-x.xBS (SOT-223 package) heat sink characteristics, please refer to Micrel Application Hint 17, P.C. Board Heat Sinking. Input Capacitors A 1F capacitor should be placed from the MIC5201 input to ground if there is more than 10 inches of wire between the input and the ac filter capacitor or if a battery is used as the input. Noise Reduction Capacitors On adjustable devices, a capacitor from ADJ to GND will decrease high-frequency noise on the output. See Figure 3. 50 mil 245 mil 150 mil 30 mil 50 mil Figure 4. Min.
