® RT9016 500mA Peak, Thermal Folded Back CMOS LDO Regulator General Description Features The RT9016 is designed for portable RF and wireless applications with demanding performance and space requirements. The RT9016 performance is optimized for battery-powered systems to deliver ultra low noise and low quiescent current. A noise bypass pin is available for further reduction of output noise. Regulator ground current increases only slightly in dropout, further prolonging the battery life. The RT9016 also works with low-ESR ceramic capacitors, reducing the amount of board space necessary for power applications, critical in hand-held wireless devices. The RT9016 consumes less than 0.01μA in shutdown mode and has fast turn-on time less than 50μs. z RT9016 is short circuit thermal folded back protected. RT9016 lowers its OTP trip point from 165°C to 110°C when output short circuit occurs (VOUT < 0.4V) providing maximum safety to end users. The other features include ultra low dropout voltage, high output accuracy, current limiting protection, and high ripple rejection ratio.

Using a capacitor whose value is > 1μF on the RT9016 input and the amount of capacitance can be increased without limit. The input capacitor must be located a distance of not more than 0.5 inch from the input pin of the IC and returned to a clean analog ground. Any good quality ceramic or tantalum can be used for this capacitor. The capacitor with larger value and lower ESR (equivalent series resistance) provides better PSRR and line-transient response. The output capacitor must meet both requirements for minimum amount of capacitance and ESR in all LDOs application. The RT9016 is designed specifically to work with low ESR ceramic output capacitor in space-saving and performance consideration. Using a ceramic capacitor whose value is at least 1μF with ESR is > 25mΩ on the RT9016 output ensures stability. The RT9016 still works well with output capacitor of other types due to the wide stable ESR range. Figure 1 shows the curves of allowable ESR range as a function of load current for various output capacitor values. Output capacitor of larger capacitance can reduce noise and improve load transient response, stability, and PSRR. The output capacitor should be located not more than 0.5 inch from the VOUT pin of the RT9016 and returned to a clean analog ground.

All rights reserved. www.richtek.com 8 Enable Function The RT9016 features an LDO regulator enable/disable function. To assure the LDO regulator will switch on, the EN turn on control level must be greater than 1.2 volts. The LDO regulator will go into the shutdown mode when the voltage on the EN pin falls below 0.4 volts. For to protecting the system, the RT9016 have a quick-discharge function. If the enable function is not needed in a specific application, it may be tied to VIN to keep the LDO regulator in a continuously on state. Thermal Considerations Thermal protection limits power dissipation in RT9016. When the operation junction temperature exceeds 165°C, the OTP circuit starts the thermal shutdown function turn the pass element off. The pass element turn on again after the junction temperature cools by 30°C. RT9016 lowers its OTP trip level from 165°C to 110°C when output short circuit occurs (VOUT < 0.4V) as shown in Figure 2. This limits IC case temperature under 100°C and provides maximum safety to end users when output short circuit occurs. PD = (VIN−VOUT) x IOUT + VIN x IQ Unstable Region (Simulation Verity) 0 Connecting a 22nF between the BP pin and GND pin significantly reduces noise on the regulator output, it is critical that the capacitor connection between the BP pin and GND pin be direct and PCB traces should be as short as possible. There is a relationship between the bypass capacitor value and the LDO regulator turn on time. DC leakage on this pin can affect the LDO regulator output noise and voltage regulation performance. For continue operation, do not exceed absolute maximum operation junction temperature 125°C. The power dissipation definition in device is : Stable Region 0.10 Bypass Capacitor and Low Noise 500 The maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of IC package, PCB layout, the rate of surroundings airflow and temperature difference between junction to ambient. The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by following formula : is a registered trademark of Richtek Technology Corporation. DS9016-06 December 2011 RT9016 PD(MAX) = ( TJ(MAX) − TA ) /θJA 700 For recommended operating conditions specification of RT9016, where T J(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature of the die (125°C) and TA is the maximum ambient temperature. The junction to ambient thermal resistance (θJA is layout dependent) for SOT-23-5 package is 250°C/W and WDFN-6L 2x2 package is 165°C/W on standard JEDEC 51-3 thermal test board. The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated by following formula : PD(MAX) = (125°C−25°C) / 250 = 400mW (SOT-23-5) WDFN-6L 2x2 Power Dissipation (mW) Where T J(MAX) is the maximum operation junction temperature 125°C, TA is the ambient temperature and the θJA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance. 600 500 SOT-23-5 400 300 200 100 0 0 25 50 75 100 125 150 Ambient Temperature (°C) Figure 3. Derating Curve for Packages PD(MAX) = (125°C−25°C) / 165 = 606mW V(DFN-6L 2x2) The maximum power dissipation depends on operating ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal resistance θJA. For RT9016 packages, the Figure 3 of derating curves allows the designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature on the maximum power allowed.
