RT9042 Maximum 3A, Ultra Low Dropout Regulator General Description Features The RT9042 is a high performance positive voltage regulator designed for use in applications requiring very low Input voltage and extremely low dropout voltage at up to 3A(Peak). It operates with a VIN as low as 1V and VDD voltage 3V with programmable output voltage as low as 0.8V. The RT9042 features ultra low dropout that is ideal for applications where VOUT is very close to VIN. Additionally, it has an enable pin to further reduce power dissipation while shutdown and provides excellent regulation over variations in line, load and temperature. The RT9042 provides a power good signal to indicate if the voltage level of Vo reaches 90% of its rating value. The RT9042 is available in the SOP-8 and SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package with 1.05V, 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V and 2.5V internally preset outputs that are also adjustable by using external resistors. l l l l l l l Maximum 3A Low Dropout Voltage Regulator High Accuracy Output Voltage 2% Dropout Voltage Typical 230mV at 2A Power Good Output Output Voltage Pull Low Resistance when Disable Thermal and Over Current Protection RoHS Compliant and Halogen Free Applications l l Notebook PC Applications Motherboard Applications Pin Configurations (TOP VIEW) PGOOD Ordering Information RT9042 8 GND EN 2 7 ADJ VIN 3 6 VOUT VDD 4 5 NC Package Type S : SOP-8 SP : SOP-8 (Exposed Pad-Option 1) Lead Plating System G : Green (Halogen Free and Pb Free) Z : ECO (Ecological Element with Halogen Free and Pb free) Output Voltage 1K : 1.05V/Adj 12 : 1.2V/Adj 15 : 1.5V/Adj 18 : 1.8V/Adj 25 : 2.5V/Adj SOP-8 PGOOD EN 2 VIN 3 VDD 8 GND 7 ADJ GND 9 6 4 5 VOUT NC SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) Note : Richtek products are : } RoHS compliant and compatible with the current requirements of IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020. } Suitable for use in SnPb or Pb-free soldering processes.

During this condition, the pass transistor, error amplifier, and band gap are turned off, reducing the supply current to 10µA typical. The RT9042 goes into operation mode when the EN pin is in the logic high condition. If the EN pin is floating, please notice the RT9042 internal initial logic level. For RT9042, the EN pin function pulls low level internally. So the regulator will be turn off when EN pin is floating. Input Capacitor Good bypassing is recommended from input to ground to improve AC performance. A 10µF input capacitor or greater located as close as possible to the IC is recommended. Region of Stable COUT ESR vs. Output Current 10 RegionofofStable StableCCOUT Region ESR (Ω) (Ω) OUT ESR The output voltage of RT9042 is adjustable from 0.8V to VIN by external voltage divider resisters as shown in Typical Application Circuit (Figure 2). The value of resisters R1 and R2 should be more than 10kΩ to reduce the power loss. The output voltage can be calculated by the following equation : R1 VOUT = VREF × 1 + R2 where VREF is the reference voltage (0.8V typical).

Region of Stable COUT ESR vs. Output Current Current Limit The RT9042 contains an independent current limit and the short circuit current protection to prevent unexpected applications. The current limit monitors and controls the pass transistor's gate voltage, limiting the output current to higher than 3.5A typical. When the output voltage is less than 0.2V, the short circuit current protection starts the current fold back function and maintains the loading current 1.8A. The output can be shorted to ground indefinitely without damaging the part. Output Capacitor The output capacitor must meet both requirements for minimum amount of capacitance and ESR in all LDOs application. The RT9042 is designed specifically to work with low ESR ceramic output capacitor in space-saving and performance consideration. Using a ceramic capacitor which value is at least 10µF with ESR is > 15mΩ on the RT9042 output ensures stability. The RT9042 still works well with output capacitor of other types due to the wide stable ESR range. Figure 3 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 RT9042 and returned to a clean analog ground. www.richtek.com 8 Power Good The power good function is an open-drain output. Connects 100kΩ pull up resistor to VOUT to obtain an output voltage. The PGOOD pin will output high immediately after the output voltage arrives 90% of normal output voltage. Thermal Shutdown Protection Thermal protection limits power dissipation to prevent IC over temperature in RT9042. When the operation junction temperature exceeds 160°C, the over temperature protection circuit starts the thermal shutdown function and turns the pass transistor off. The pass transistor turns on again after the junction temperature cools by 30°C. RT9042 lowers its OTP trip level from 160°C to 90°C when output short circuit occurs (VOUT < 0.2V). It limits DS9042-02 March 2011 RT9042 IC case temperature under 100°C and provides maximum safety to customer while output short circuit occurring. Power Dissipation For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute maximum operation junction temperature 125°C. The power dissipation definition in device is : (a) Copper Area = (2.3 x 2.3) mm2, θJA = 75°C/W PD = (VIN − VOUT ) x IOUT + VIN x IQ The maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of IC package, PCB layout, the rate of surroundings airflow and temperature difference between junctions to ambient. The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by following formula : PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA) / θJA (b) Copper Area = 10mm2, θJA = 64°C/W 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. For recommended operating conditions specification of RT9042, the maximum junction temperature is 125°C. The junction to ambient thermal resistance for SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package is 75°C/W on the standard JEDEC 51-7 (4 layers, 2S2P) thermal test board. The copper thickness is 2oz. The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated by following formula : (c) Copper Area = 30mm2, θJA = 54°C/W P D(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (75°C/W ) = 1. 33W (SOP-8 Exposed Pad on the minimum layout) Layout Considerations The thermal resistance θJA of SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) is determined by the package design and the PCB design. However, the package design had been designed. If (d) Copper Area = 50mm2, θJA = 51°C/W possible, it's useful to increase thermal performance by the PCB design. The thermal resistance θJA can be decreased by adding a copper under the exposed pad of SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package. As shown in Figure 4, the amount of copper area to which the SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) is mounted affects thermal performance. When mounted to the standard SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) pad (Figure 4.a), θJA is 75°C/W. Adding copper area of pad under the SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) (Figure 4.b) reduces the θJA to 64°C/W. Even further, increasing the copper area of pad to 70mm2 (Figure 4.e) reduces the θJA to 49°C/W. DS9042-02 March 2011 (e) Copper Area = 70mm2, θJA = 49°C/W Figure 4. Thermal Resistance vs. Copper Area Layout Thermal Design www.richtek.com 9 RT9042 The maximum power dissipation depends on operating ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal resistance θJA. For RT9042 packages, the Figure 5 of derating curves allows the designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature on the maximum power allowed. 2.2 Power Dissipation (W) 2.0 Copper Area 70mm2 50mm2 30mm2 10mm2 Min. layout 1.8 1.6 1.4 1.2 1.0 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 JEDEC 4-Layers PCB 0.0 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 Ambient Temperature (°C) Figure 5.
