MIC5248 circuitry that drives the open drain transistor to indicate a fault. Application Information Enable/Shutdown The MIC5248 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. This part is CMOS and the enable pin cannot be left floating; a floating enable pin may cause an indeterminate state on the output. Transient Response The MIC5248 implements a unique output stage to dramatically improve transient response recovery time. The output is a totem-pole configuration with a Pchannel MOSFET pass device and an N-channel MOSFET clamp. The N-channel clamp is a significantly smaller device that prevents the output voltage from overshooting when a heavy load is removed. This feature helps to speed up the transient response by significantly decreasing transient response recovery time during the transition from heavy load (100mA) to light load (100µA). Input Capacitor An input capacitor is not required for stability. A 1µF input capacitor is recommended when the bulk ac supply capacitance is more than 10 inches away from the device, or when the supply is a battery. Active Shutdown The MIC5248 also features an active shutdown clamp, which is an N-channel MOSFET that turns on when the device is disabled. This allows the output capacitor and load to discharge, de-energizing the load Output Capacitor The MIC5248 requires an output capacitor for stability. The design requires 1µF or greater on the output to maintain stability. The capacitor can be a low-ESR ceramic chip capacitor. The MIC5248 has been designed to work specifically with the low-cost, small chip capacitors. Tantalum capacitors can also be used for improved capacitance overtemperature. The value of the capacitor can be increased without bound. X7R dielectric 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 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 or a tantalum capacitor to ensure the same minimum capacitance value over the operating temperature range. Tantalum capacitors have a very stable dielectric (10% over their operating temperature range) and can also be used with this device. Thermal Considerations The MIC5248 is designed to provide 150mA of continuous current in a very small package. Maximum power dissipation can be calculated based on the output current and the voltage drop across the part. To determine the maximum power dissipation of the package, use the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the device and the following basic equation: ⎛ TJ(max) − TA PD(max) = ⎜⎜ θ JA ⎝ TJ(max) is the maximum junction temperature of the die,125°C, and TA is the ambient operating temperature. θJA is layout dependent; Table 1 shows examples of junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the MIC5248. Package θJA Recommended Minimum Footprint θJA 1” Square Copper Clad θJC SOT-23-5 (M5) 235°C/W 185°C/W 145°C/W Table 1. SOT-23-5 Thermal Resistance Power Good The Power Good output is an open-drain output. It is designed essentially to work as a power-on reset generator once the regulated voltage was up and/or a fault condition. The output of the Power Good drives low when a fault condition AND an undervoltage detection occurs. The Power Good output come back up once the output has reached 96.5% of its nominal value and a 1ms to 5ms delay has passed. See “Timing Diagram.” The MIC5248’s internal circuit intelligently monitors overcurrent, overtemperature and dropout conditions and ORs these outputs together to indicate some fault condition. This output is fed into an on-board delay August 2006 ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ ⎠ The actual power dissipation of the regulator circuit can be determined using the equation: PD = (VIN – VOUT) IOUT + VIN IGND Substituting PD(max) for PD and solving for the operating conditions that are critical to the application will give the maximum operating conditions for the regulator circuit. For example, when operating the MIC5248-1.2BM5 at 50°C with a minimum footprint layout, the maximum input voltage for a set output current can be determined as follows: ⎛ 125°C − 50°C ⎞ PD(max) = ⎜ ⎟ ⎝ 235°C/W ⎠ 7 M9999-080106 Micrel, Inc. MIC5248 Therefore, a 1.2V application at 150mA of output current can accept a maximum input voltage of 3.4V in a SOT23-5package. For a full discussion of heat sinking and thermal effects on voltage regulators, refer to the Regulator Thermals section of Micrel’s Designing with Low-Dropout Voltage Regulators handbook. PD(max) = 315mW The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the minimum footprint is 235°C/W, from Table 1. The maximum power dissipation must not be exceeded for proper operation. Using the output voltage of 1.2V and an output current of 150mA, the maximum input voltage can be determined. 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. 315mW = (VIN – 1.2V) 150mA 315mW = VIN × 150mA – 195mW 510mW = VIN × 150mA VIN(max) = 3.4V August 2006 Dual-Supply Operation When used in dual supply systems where the regulator load is returned to a negative supply, the output voltage must be diode clamped to ground. 8 M9999-080106 Micrel, Inc.
