μA IQ, 250mA Low-Dropout Linear Regulator
General Description
Features
The RT9063 is a low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator that
features high input voltage, low dropout voltage, ultra-low
operating current, and miniaturized packaging. With
quiescent current as low as 1μA, the RT9063 is ideal for
battery-powered equipment.

The RT9063's stability requirements are easily met with
all types of output capacitors, including tiny ceramic
capacitors, over its wide input range and its load current
range (0mA to 250mA). The RT9063 offers standard output
voltages of 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V and 3.3V.

Operation
The RT9063 is a high input voltage linear regulator
specifically designed to minimize external components.
Current Limit
The minimum required output capacitance for stable
operation is 1μF effective capacitance after consideration
of the temperature and voltage coefficient of the capacitor.
The RT9063 provides a current limit function to prevent
damage during output over-load or shorted-circuit
conditions. The output current is detected by an internal
sensing transistor.
Output Transistor
Over-Temperature Protection
The RT9063 includes a built-in low on-resistance
P-MOSFET output transistor for low dropout voltage
applications.
The over-temperature protection function will turn off the
P-MOSFET when the internal junction temperature
exceeds 150°C (typ.) and the output current exceeds
30mA. Once the junction temperature cools down by
approximately 20°C, the regulator will automatically
resume operation.
Error Amplifier
The Error Amplifier compares the output feedback voltage
from an internal feedback voltage divider to an internal
reference voltage and controls the P-MOSFET's gate
voltage to maintain output voltage regulation.

Applications Information
Any output capacitor meeting the minimum 1mΩ ESR
(Equivalent Series Resistance) and effective capacitance
larger than 1μF requirement may be used. Place the output
capacitor close to the IC's VOUT and GND pins. Increasing
capacitance and decreasing ESR can improve the circuit's
PSRR and line transient response.
Thermal Considerations
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute the
maximum junction temperature. The maximum power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and the
allowed difference between the junction and ambient
temperatures. The maximum power dissipation can be
calculated by the following formula :
1.0
Maximum Power Dissipation (W)1
Like any low dropout linear regulator, the RT9063's external
input and output capacitors must be properly selected for
stability and performance. Use a 1μF or larger input
capacitor and place it close to the IC's VCC and GND pins.

Figure 1. Derating Curve of Maximum Power Dissipation
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA) / θJA
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA is
the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction to ambient
thermal resistance.
The recommended operating conditions specify a
maximum junction temperature is 125°C. The junction to
ambient thermal resistance, θJA, is layout dependent. On
a standard JEDEC 51-7 four-layer thermal test board ,
the thermal resistance, θJA, of the SOT-23-3 package is
243.3°C/W. For the SOT-89-3 package, the θJA, is
167.7°C/W. The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25°C
can be calculated by the following formula :
PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (243.3°C/W) = 0.41W for
SOT-23-3 package
PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (167.7°C/W) = 0.59W for
SOT-89-3 package
For a fixed T J(MAX) of 125°C, the maximum power
dissipation depends on the operating ambient temperature
and the package's thermal resistance, θJA. The derating
curve in Figure 1 shows the effect of rising ambient
temperature on the maximum recommended power
dissipation.
