1A Ultra Low Dropout Linear Regulator with Programmable Current Limiting ISL80121-5 Features The ISL80121-5 is a low dropout voltage, single output LDO with programmable current limiting. This LDO operates from input voltages of 2.2V to 6V. The ISL80121-5 has a nominal output voltage of 5V. Other custom voltage options are available upon request. • ±1.8% VOUT Accuracy Guaranteed Over Line, Load and TJ = -40°C to +125°C • Very Low 130mV Dropout Voltage at VIN = 5.0V • High Accuracy Current Limit Programmable up to 1.75A • Very Fast Transient Response A sub-micron BiCMOS process is utilized for this product family to deliver the best in class analog performance and overall value. The programmable current limiting improves system reliability of end applications. An external capacitor on the soft-start pin provides an adjustable soft-starting ramp. The ENABLE feature allows the part to be placed into a low quiescent current shutdown mode. • 210µVRMS Output Noise • Power-Good Output • Programmable Soft-Start • Over-Temperature Protection • Small 10 Ld DFN Package This CMOS LDO will consume significantly lower quiescent current as a function of load compared to bipolar LDOs, which translates into higher efficiency and packages with smaller footprints.

PSRR vs LOAD Functional Description Input Voltage Requirements The ISL80121-5 is optimized for 5V output, and can operate from input voltages of 2.2V to 6V. Due to the nature of an LDO, VIN must be some margin higher than VOUT plus dropout at the maximum rated current of the application if active filtering (PSRR) is expected from VIN to VOUT. The generous dropout specification of this family of LDOs allows applications to design for a level of efficiency that can accommodate profiles smaller than the TO220/263. Programmable Current Limit 0 10 COUT = 10µF 100 1k 10k FREQUENCY (Hz) 100k 1M FIGURE 10. PSRR vs C OUT The current limit is set at 0.75A by default when the ISET pin is left floating. This limit can be increased by tying a resistor RSET from the ISET pin to ground. The current limit is determined by RSET as shown in Equation 1: 2.9 I LIMIT = 0.75 + -------------------------R SET ( kΩ ) (EQ. 1) Figure 11 shows the relationship between RSET and the current limit when the RSET is tied from ISET pin to GND. Do not short this pin to ground. Increasing the current limit past 1.75A may cause damage to the part and is highly discouraged. The ISL80121-5 protects against overcurrent due to short-circuit and overload conditions applied to the output. When this happens, the LDO performs as a constant current source. If the short-circuit or overload condition is removed, the output returns to normal voltage regulation operation. 7 FN7713.4 September 29, 2011 ISL80121-5 VIN. PG goes low when the output voltage drops below 84% of the nominal output voltage, the current limit faults, or the input voltage is too low. PG functions during shutdown, but not during thermal shutdown. For applications not using this feature, connect this pin to ground.

INCREASING ILIMIT (R SET TO GND) The soft-start circuit controls the rate at which the output voltage rises up to regulation at power-up or LDO enable. This start-up ramp time can be set by adding an external capacitor from the SS pin to ground. An internal 2µA current source charges up this CSS and the feedback reference voltage is clamped to the voltage across it. The start-up time is set by Equation 3: ( C SS x0.5 ) T start = --------------------------2μA (EQ. 3) The current limit can be decreased from the 0.75A default by tying RSET from the ISET pin to VIN. The current limit is then determined by both RSET and VIN following Equation 2: Equation 4 determines the CSS required for a specific start-up in-rush current, where VOUT is the output voltage, COUT is the total capacitance on the output and IINRUSH is the desired in-rush current. 2.9 × ( 2 × V IN – 1 ) I LIMIT = 0.75 – ----------------------------------------------R SET ( kΩ ) ( V OUT xC OUT x2μA ) C SS = -------------------------------------------------I INRUSH x0.5V (EQ. 2) Figure 12 shows the relationship between RSET and the current limit when RSET is tied from the ISET pin to VIN for VIN = 5.4V. The external capacitor is always discharged to ground at the beginning of start-up or enabling. External Capacitor Requirements 0.75 External capacitors are required for proper operation. Careful attention must be paid to the layout guidelines and selection of capacitor type and value to ensure optimal performance. 0.65 0.55 CURRENT LIMIT (A) (EQ. 4) OUTPUT CAPACITOR 0.45 0.35 0.25 0.15 0.05 -0.05 40 RSET (kΩ) 400 FIGURE 12. DECREASING I SET (RSET TO V IN) Enable Operation The ENABLE turn-on threshold is typically 800mV with 80mV of hysteresis. An internal pull-up or pull-down resistor to change these values is available upon request. As a result, this pin must not be left floating, and should be tied to VIN if not used. A 1kΩ to 10kΩ pull-up resistor is required for applications that use open collector or open drain outputs to control the ENABLE pin. The ENABLE pin may be connected directly to VIN for applications with outputs that are always on. The ISL80121-5 applies state-of-the-art internal compensation to keep the selection of the output capacitor simple for the customer. Stable operation over full temperature, VIN range, VOUT range and load extremes are guaranteed for all capacitor types and values assuming a minimum of 10µF X5R/X7R is used for local bypass on VOUT. This output capacitor must be connected to the VOUT and GND pins of the LDO with PCB traces no longer than 0.5cm. There is a growing trend to use very-low ESR multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) because they can support fast load transients and also bypass very high frequency noise from other sources. However, the effective capacitance of MLCCs drops with applied voltage, age, and temperature. X7R and X5R dieletric ceramic capacitors are strongly recommended as they typically maintain a capacitance range within ±20% of nominal voltage over full operating ratings of temperature and voltage. Additional capacitors of any value in ceramic, POSCAP, alum/tantalum electrolytic types may be placed in parallel to improve PSRR at higher frequencies and/or load transient AC output voltage tolerances. Power-Good Operation INPUT CAPACITOR PG is a logic output that indicates the status of VOUT, current limit tripping, and VIN. The PG flag is an open-drain NMOS that can sink up to 10mA during a fault condition. The PG pin requires an external pull-up resistor typically connected to the VOUT pin. The PG pin should not be pulled up to a voltage source greater than For proper operation, a minimum capacitance of 10µF X5R/X7R is required at the input. This ceramic input capacitor must be connected to the VIN and GND pins of the LDO with PCB traces no longer than 0.5cm. 8 FN7713.4 September 29, 2011 ISL80121-5 Power Dissipation and Thermals Thermal Fault Protection The junction temperature must not exceed the range specified in the “Recommended Operating Conditions” on page 4. The power dissipation can be calculated by using Equation 5: The power level and the thermal impedance of the package (+48°C/W for DFN) determine when the junction temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown temperature. In the event that the die temperature exceeds around +160°C, the output of the LDO will shut down until the die temperature cools down to about +130°C. (EQ. 5) P D = ( V IN – V OUT ) × I OUT + V IN × I GND The maximum allowable junction temperature, TJ(MAX) and the maximum expected ambient temperature, TA(MAX) determine the maximum allowable power dissipation, as shown in Equation 6: General PowerPAD Design Considerations (EQ. 6) P D ( MAX ) = ( T J ( MAX ) – T A ) ⁄ θ JA θJA is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. For safe operation, ensure that the power dissipation PD, calculated from Equation 5, is less than the maximum allowable power dissipation PD(MAX). The DFN package uses the copper area on the PCB as a heat-sink. The EPAD of this package must be soldered to the copper plane (GND plane). Figure 13 shows a curve for the θJA of the DFN package for different copper area sizes. Figure 14 shows the recommended use of vias on the thermal pad to remove heat from the IC. This typical array populates the thermal pad footprint with vias spaced three times the radius distance from the center of each via. Small via size is advisable, but not to the extent that solder reflow becomes difficult. All vias should be connected to the pad potential, with low thermal resistance for efficient heat transfer. Complete connection of the plated-through hole to each plane is important. It is not recommended to use “thermal relief” patterns to connect the vias. 46 θJA (°C/W) 44 42 40 38 FIGURE 14.
