MIC5249 300mA µCap LDO with Programmable Power-On Reset Delay General Description Features The MIC5249 is an efficient, precise 300mA CMOS voltage regulator with power on reset (POR) delay which can be implemented via an external capacitor. It offers 1% initial accuracy, extremely low dropout voltage (typically 400mV @ 300mA), and low ground current (typically 85mA) over load. Designed specifically for noise-critical applications in handheld or battery-powered devices, the MIC5249 comes equipped with a noise reduction feature to filter the output noise via an external capacitor. Other features of the MIC5249 include a logic-compatible enable pin, current limit, thermal shutdown, ultra-fast transient response, and an active clamp to speed up device turnoff. The MIC5249 also works with low-ESR ceramic capacitors, reducing the amount of board space necessary for power applications, critical in hand-held wireless devices. The MIC5249 is available in the MSOP-8 package.

MIC5249 The capacitor value required can be easily calculated using the formula: Application Information Enable/Shutdown The MIC5249 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. ⎛T ×I C DELAY = ⎜⎜ DELAY DELAY V DELAY ⎝ where IDELAY is 0.55µA and the VDELAY is 1.4V. When no capacitor is used, there will be no delay and the POR output acts like a standard error FLAG output. RESET Output The RESET output of the MIC5249 provides the poweron reset signal based on the capacitor from the DELAY pin to ground when input power is applied to the regulator. The reset signal stays low for a preset time period after power is applied to the regulator, and then goes high. The reset output is an active-low, open-drain output that drives low when a fault condition AND an undervoltage detection occurs. Internal circuitry intelligently monitors overcurrent, overtemperature and dropout conditions and ORs these outputs together to indicate some fault condition. The output of that OR gate is ANDed with an output voltage monitor that detects an undervoltage condition. The output drives an open-drain transistor to indicate a fault. This prevents chattering or inadvertent triggering of the reset. There set must be pulled up using a resistor form the RESET pin to either the input or the output. Input Capacitor The MIC5249 is a high-performance, high-bandwidth device. Therefore, it requires a well-bypassed input supply for optimal performance. A 1.0µF capacitor is required from the input to ground to provide stability. Low-ESR ceramic capacitors provide optimal performance at a minimum of space. Additional highfrequency capacitors such as small valued NPO dielectric type capacitors help to filter out high frequency noise and are good practice in any RF-based circuit. Output Capacitor The MIC5249 requires an output capacitor of 2.2µF 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 maximum recommended ESR is 300mΩ. The output capacitor can be increased, but performance has been optimized for a 2.2µF 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 anX7R ceramic capacitor to ensure the same minimum capacitance over the equivalent operating temperature range. Bypass Pin Input A bypass capacitor is required from the noise bypass pin to ground to reduce output voltage noise. The capacitor bypasses the internal reference. A 0.01µF capacitor is recommended for applications that require low-noise outputs. The bypass capacitor can be increased, further reducing noise and improving PSRR. Turn-on time increases slightly with respect to bypass capacitance. A unique quick-start circuit allows the MIC5249 to drive a large capacitor on the bypass pin without significantly slowing the turn-on time. Active Shutdown The MIC5249 also features an active shutdown clamp, which is a N-Channel MOSFET that turns on when the device is disabled. This allows the output capacitor and load to discharge, de-energizing the load. DELAY Pin Input The power-on-reset (POR) function can be implemented on the MIC5249 by adding an external capacitor from the DELAY pin to ground. This external capacitor sets the delay time (TDELAY) of the RESET output. March 2012 ⎞ ⎟⎟ ⎠ No-Load Stability The MIC5249 will remain stable and in regulation with no load unlike many other voltage regulators. This is especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive application. 5 M9999-030812 Micrel, Inc. MIC5249 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 MIC5249-3.0YMM at 50°C with a minimum footprint layout, the maximum input voltage for a set output current can be determined as follows: Thermal Considerations The MIC5249 is designed to provide 300mA 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 device. To determine the maximum power dissipation of the package, use the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the device and the following basic equation: PD(max) ⎛ TJ(max) − TA = ⎜⎜ θ JA ⎝ ⎛ 125°C − 50°C ⎞ PD(max) = ⎜ ⎟ ⎝ 160°C/W ⎠ ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ ⎠ The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the minimum footprint is 160°C/W, from Table 1. The maximum power dissipation must not be exceeded for proper operation. Using the output voltage of 3.0V, and an output current of 300mA, the maximum input voltage can be determined. Because this device is CMOS and the ground current is typically 90µA over the load range, the power dissipation contributed by the ground current is < 1.0% and can be ignored for this calculation: 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 the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the MIC5249. Package MSOP-8 θJA Recommended Minimum Footprint 160°C/W 468mW = (VIN – 3.0V) 300mA 468mW = VIN × 300mA – 900mW 1368mW = VIN × 300mA VIN(max) = 4.56V Table 1. MSOP-8 Thermal Resistance The actual power dissipation of the regulator circuit can be determined using the equation: Therefore, a 3.0V application at 300mA of output current can accept a maximum input voltage of 4.56V in the MSOP-8 package.
