MIC29150/29300/29500/29750 Series
High-Current Low-Dropout Regulators
General Description
Features
The MIC29150/29300/29500/29750 are high current, high
accuracy, low-dropout voltage regulators. Using Micrel's
proprietary Super ßeta PNP™ process with a PNP pass
element, these regulators feature 300mV to 370mV (full load)
dropout voltages and very low ground current. Designed for
high current loads, these devices also find applications in
lower current, extremely low dropout-critical systems, where
their tiny dropout voltage and ground current values are
important attributes.
The MIC29150/29300/29500/29750 are fully protected against
overcurrent faults, reversed input polarity, reversed lead
insertion, overtemperature operation, and positive and negative transient voltage spikes. Five pin fixed voltage versions
feature logic level ON/OFF control and an error flag which
signals whenever the output falls out of regulation. Flagged
states include low input voltage (dropout), output current
limit, overtemperature shutdown, and extremely high voltage
spikes on the input.
On the MIC29xx1 and MIC29xx2, the ENABLE pin may be
tied to VIN if it is not required for ON/OFF control. The
MIC29150/29300/29500 are available in 3- and 5-pin TO-220
and surface mount TO-263 packages. The MIC29750 7.5A
regulators are available in 3- and 5-pin TO-247 packages.

Notes
Note 1:
Maximum positive supply voltage of 60V must be of limited duration (<100msec) and duty cycle (≤1%). The maximum continuous supply
voltage is 26V.
Note 2:
Full Load current (IFL) is defined as 1.5A for the MIC29150, 3A for the MIC29300, 5A for the MIC29500, and 7.5A for the MIC29750 families.
Note 3:
Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to-output differential when the output voltage drops to 99% of its nominal value with VOUT + 1V applied
to VIN
Note 4:
VIN = VOUT (nominal) + 1V. For example, use VIN = 4.3V for a 3.3V regulator or use 6V for a 5V regulator. Employ pulse-testing procedures to
minimize temperature rise.
Note 5:
Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the source is the sum of the load current plus the ground
pin current.
Note 6:
Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range.
Note 7:
Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time T after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load or line
regulation effects. Specifications are for a 200mA load pulse at VIN = 20V (a 4W pulse) for T = 10ms.
Note 8:
VREF ≤ VOUT ≤ (VIN – 1 V), 2.3V ≤ VIN ≤ 26V, 10mA < IL ≤ IFL, TJ ≤ TJ MAX.
Note 9:
Comparator thresholds are expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the Adjust terminal below the nominal reference voltage measured at
6V input. To express these thresholds in terms of output voltage change, multiply by the error amplifier gain = VOUT /VREF = (R1 + R2)/R2. For
example, at a programmed output voltage of 5V, the Error output is guaranteed to go low when the output drops by 95 mV x 5V/1.240 V = 384
mV. Thresholds remain constant as a percent of VOUT as VOUT is varied, with the dropout warning occurring at typically 5% below nominal,
7.7% guaranteed.
Note 10: VEN ≤ 0.8V and VIN ≤ 26V, VOUT = 0.
Note 11: 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.

MIC29150/29300/29500/29750
Micrel
First, we calculate the power dissipation of the regulator from
these numbers and the device parameters from this datasheet.
Applications Information
The MIC29150/29300/29500/29750 are high performance
low-dropout voltage regulators suitable for all moderate to
high-current voltage regulator applications. Their 300mV to
400mV dropout voltage at full load make them especially
valuable in battery powered systems and as high efficiency
noise filters in “post-regulator” applications. Unlike older
NPN-pass transistor designs, where the minimum dropout
voltage is limited by the base-emitter voltage drop and
collector-emitter saturation voltage, dropout performance of
the PNP output of these devices is limited merely by the low
VCE saturation voltage.
A trade-off for the low dropout voltage is a varying base drive
requirement. But Micrel’s Super ßeta PNP™ process reduces this drive requirement to merely 1% of the load current.
The MIC29150–29750 family of regulators is fully protected
from damage due to fault conditions. Current limiting is
provided. This limiting is linear; output current under overload
conditions is constant. Thermal shutdown disables the device when the die temperature exceeds the 125°C maximum
safe operating temperature. Transient protection allows device (and load) survival even when the input voltage spikes
between –20V and +60V. When the input voltage exceeds
about 35V to 40V, the overvoltage sensor temporarily disables the regulator. The output structure of these regulators
allows voltages in excess of the desired output voltage to be
applied without reverse current flow. MIC29xx1 and MIC29xx2
versions offer a logic level ON/OFF control: when disabled,
the devices draw nearly zero current.
An additional feature of this regulator family is a common
pinout: a design’s current requirement may change up or
down yet use the same board layout, as all of these regulators
have identical pinouts.

Where TJ MAX ≤ 125°C and θCS is between 0 and 2°C/W.
The heat sink may be significantly reduced in applications
where the minimum input voltage is known and is large
compared with the dropout voltage. Use a series input
resistor to drop excessive voltage and distribute the heat
between this resistor and the regulator. The low dropout
properties of Micrel Super ßeta PNP regulators allow very
significant reductions in regulator power dissipation and the
associated heat sink without compromising performance.
When this technique is employed, a capacitor of at least
0.1µF is needed directly between the input and regulator
ground.
Please refer to Application Note 9 and Application Hint 17 for
further details and examples on thermal design and heat sink
specification.
Capacitor Requirements
For stability and minimum output noise, a capacitor on the
regulator output is necessary. The value of this capacitor is
dependent upon the output current; lower currents allow
smaller capacitors. MIC29150—29750 regulators are stable
with the following minimum capacitor values at full load:
Device
Full Load Capacitor
MIC29150 .............................. 10µF
MIC29300 .............................. 10µF
MIC29500 .............................. 10µF
MIC29750 .............................. 22µF
This capacitor need not be an expensive low ESR type:
aluminum electrolytics are adequate. In fact, extremely low
ESR capacitors may contribute to instability. Tantalum capacitors are recommended for systems where fast load
transient response is important.
Where the regulator is powered from a source with a high AC
impedance, a 0.1µF capacitor connected between Input and
GND is recommended. This capacitor should have good
characteristics to above 250kHz.
Minimum Load Current
The MIC29150–29750 regulators are specified between finite loads. If the output current is too small, leakage currents
dominate and the output voltage rises. The following minimum load current swamps any expected leakage current
across the operating temperature range:
VOUT

Figure 3. Linear regulators require only two capacitors
for operation.
Thermal Design
Linear regulators are simple to use. The most complicated
design parameters to consider are thermal characteristics.
Thermal design requires the following application-specific
parameters:
• Maximum ambient temperature, TA
• Output Current, IOUT
• Output Voltage, VOUT
• Input Voltage, VIN

Device
Two resistors are used. Resistors can be quite large, up to
1MΩ, because of the very high input impedance and low bias
current of the sense comparator: The resistor values are
calculated by:

MIC29300 .................................................... 7mA

Adjustable Regulator Design
Where VO is the desired output voltage. Figure 4 shows
component definition. Applications with widely varying load
currents may scale the resistors to draw the minimum load
current required for proper operation (see above).
Error Flag
MIC29xx1 and MIC29xx3 versions feature an Error Flag,
which looks at the output voltage and signals an error
condition when this voltage drops 5% below its expected
value. The error flag is an open-collector output that pulls low
under fault conditions. It may sink 10mA. Low output voltage
signifies a number of possible problems, including an overcurrent fault (the device is in current limit) and low input
voltage. The flag output is inoperative during overtemperature shutdown conditions.
Enable Input
MIC29xx1 and MIC29xx2 versions feature an enable (EN)
input that allows ON/OFF control of the device. Special
design allows “zero” current drain when the device is disabled—only microamperes of leakage current flows. The EN
input has TTL/CMOS compatible thresholds for simple interfacing with logic, or may be directly tied to ≤ 30V. Enabling the
regulator requires approximately 20µA of current.
