MICREL MIC5303

MIC5303
Single 300mA CMOS
Ultra Small ULDO™
General Description
Features
The MIC5303 is an ultra small, Ultra Low Dropout CMOS
regulator, ULDO™ that is ideal for today’s most demanding portable applications including cellular phone RF
power, camera modules, imaging sensors for digital still
and video cameras, PDAs, portable media players (PMP)
and PC cameras where board space is limited. It offers
extremely low dropout voltage, very low output noise and
can operate from a 2.3V to 5.5V input while delivering up
to 300mA.
It offers 2% initial accuracy, low ground current (typically
85µA total), thermal and current limit protection. The
MIC5303 can also be put into a zero-off-mode current
state, drawing no current when disabled.
The MIC5303 is available in the ultra small 4-pin 1.2mm x
1.6mm Thin MLF® package, occupying only 1.92mm2 of
PCB area, a 50% reduction in board area compared to
SC-70 and 2mm x 2mm MLF® packages. It’s operating
junction temperature range is –40°C to +125°C and is
available in fixed output voltages in lead-free (RoHS
compliant) Thin MLF® package.

Notes:
1. Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
2. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
3. The maximum allowable power dissipation of any TA (ambient temperature) is PD(max) = (TJ(max) - TA) / θJA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown.
4. Specification for packaged product only.
5. Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing, changes in output voltage due to heating effects are
covered by the thermal regulation specification.
6. 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.
7. Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of the load current plus the ground pin
current.

MIC5303
The actual power dissipation of the regulator circuit can
be determined using the equation:
Application Information
Enable/Shutdown
The MIC5303 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.
PD = (VIN – VOUT) IOUT + VIN IGND
Because this device is CMOS and the ground current is
typically <100µA 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) × 300mA
PD = 0.24W
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:
Input Capacitor
The MIC5303 is a high-performance, high bandwidth
device. Therefore, it requires a well-bypassed input
supply for optimal performance. A 1µF capacitor 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.
PD(MAX) =
TJ(MAX) - TA
JA
TJ(max) = 125°C, the maximum junction temperature of
the die θJA thermal resistance = 173°C/W.
The table below shows junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance for the MIC5303 in the 4-pin 1.2mm x 1.6mm
MLF® package.
Output Capacitor
The MIC5303 requires an output capacitor of 1µF 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, but performance has
been optimized for a 1µF ceramic output capacitor and
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.
Package
θJA Recommended
Minimum Footprint
4-Pin 1.2x1.6 MLF®
173°C/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
173°C/W.
The maximum power dissipation must not be exceeded
for proper operation.
For example, when operating the MIC5303-2.8YML at
an input voltage of 3.6V and 300mA load with a
minimum footprint layout, the maximum ambient
operating temperature TA can be determined as follows:
0.24W = (125°C – TA)/(173°C/W)
No-Load Stability
Unlike many other voltage regulators, the MIC5303 will
remain stable and in regulation with no load. This is
especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive
applications.
Thermal Considerations
The MIC5303 is designed to provide 300mA 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 3.6V, the output voltage is 2.8V and
the output current = 300mA.
October 2006
⎛
⎝
TA=83°C
Therefore, a 2.8V application with 300mA of output
current can accept an ambient operating temperature of
83°C in a 1.2mm x 1.6mm MLF® package. For a full
discussion of heat sinking and thermal effects on voltage
regulators, refer to the “Regulator Thermals” section of
