Exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. 4. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating ratings. 5. The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, TJ(max) the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θJA, and the ambient temperature, TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated using: PD(max) = (TJ(max) – TA) ÷ θJA, where θJA is 235°C/W. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown.

Specification for packaged product only. 8. Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range. 9. Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Parts are tested for load regulation in the load range from 100µA to 100mA. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered by the thermal regulation specification. 10. 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. 11. 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.

MIC5271 Application Information The MIC5271 is a general-purpose negative voltage regulator that can be used in a system that requires a clean negative voltage. This includes the post regulation of DC-to-DC converters (transformer or charge pump based voltage converters). These negative voltages typically require a negative low dropout voltage regulator to provide a clean output from noisy input power. Input Capacitor A 1µF input capacitor should be placed from −IN to GND if there is more than two inches of wire or trace between the input and the AC filter capacitor or if a battery is used as the input. Figure 3. Positive and Negative Enable Voltage vs. Supply Voltage Output Capacitor The MIC5271 requires an output capacitor for stable operation. A minimum of 1µF of output capacitance is required. The output capacitor can be increased without limitation to improve transient response. The output does not require ESR to maintain stability; therefore a ceramic capacitor can be used. High-ESR capacitors may cause instability. Capacitors with an ESR of 3Ω or greater at 100kHz can cause a high-frequency oscillation. Thermal Considerations Absolute values will be used for thermal calculations to clarify the meaning of power dissipation and voltage drops across the part. Proper thermal design for the MIC5271-5.0YM5 can be accomplished with some basic design criteria and some simple equations. The following information must be known to implement your regulator design: Low-ESR tantalums are recommended due to the tight capacitance tolerance over temperature. The Z5U dielectric can change capacitance value by as much 50% over temperature, and the Y5V dielectric can change capacitance value by as much as 60% over temperature. To use a ceramic chip capacitor with the Y5V dielectric, the value must be much higher than a tantalum to ensure the same minimum capacitor value over temperature. • • • • • No-Load Stability The MIC5271 does not require a load for stability. VIN = Input voltage VOUT = Output voltage IOUT = Output current TA = Ambient operating temperature IGND = Ground current Maximum power dissipation can be determined by knowing the ambient temperature (TA), the maximum junction temperature (+125°C), and the thermal resistance (junction-to-ambient). The thermal resistance for this part, assuming a minimum footprint board layout, is +235°C/W. The maximum power dissipation at an ambient temperature of +25°C can be determined with Equations 1 and 2: Enable Input The MIC5271 comes with an enable pin that allows the regulator to be disabled. Forcing the enable pin higher than the negative threshold and lower than the positive threshold 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. The MIC5271 will be in the “on” mode when the voltage applied to the enable pin is either greater than the positive threshold or less than the negative threshold. PD(MAX ) = TJ(MAX ) − TA θ JA Eq. 1 PD(MAX ) = 125°C − 25°C 235°C / W Eq. 2 Where PD(MAX) = +425mW. April 6, 2015 9 040615-2.0 (while in progress) Revision 2.0 (final document) Micrel, Inc. MIC5271 Adjustable Regulator Application The actual power dissipation of the regulator circuit can be determined using Equation 3: PD = (VIN – VOUT) × IOUT + (VIN × IGND) The MIC5271YM5 can be adjusted from −1.20V to −14V by using two external resistors (Figure 4). The resistors set the output voltage based on Equation 4. Eq. 3 Substituting PD(MAX), determined above, for PD and solving for the operating conditions that are critical to the application will give the maximum operating conditions for the regulator circuit. The maximum power dissipation number cannot be exceeded for proper operation of the device. The maximum input voltage can be determined using the output voltage of 5.0V and an output current of 100mA. Ground current, of 2mA for 100mA of output current, can be taken from the Electrical Characteristics. • • • • 425mW = (VIN − 5.0V)100mA + VIN × 2mA 425mW = (100mA × VIN + 2mA × VIN) −500mW 925mW = 102mA × VIN VIN = 9.07V (maximum) Figure 4. Adjustable Voltage Application Therefore, a –5.0V application at -100mA of output current can accept a maximum input voltage of –9.07V in a SOT-23 package.
