Exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. 2. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating ratings. 3. The maximum allowable power dissipation of any TA (ambient temperature) is PD(max) = (TJ(max)–TA)/θJA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. The θJA of the MIC5253-x.xBC5 (all versions) is 400°C/W on a PC board (see ”Thermal Considerations” section for further details). 4. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended. 5. Specification for packaged product only. 6. Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Parts are tested for load regulation in the load range from 0.1mA to 100mA. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered by the thermal regulation specification. 7. Dropout Voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal value measured at 1V differential. For outputs below 2.7V, dropout voltage is the input-to-output voltage differential with the minimum input voltage 2.7V. Minimum input operating voltage is 2.7V. 8. Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of the load current plus the ground pin current.

This is especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive applications. Thermal Considerations The MIC5253 is designed to provide 100mA of continuous current in a very small package. Maximum ambient operating temperature can be calculated based on the output current and the voltage drop across the part. Given that the input voltage is 5.0V, the output voltage is 2.9V, and the output current = 100mA. The actual power dissipation of the regulator circuit can be determined using the equation: PD = (VIN – VOUT) IOUT + VIN IGND 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. PD = (5.0V – 2.9V) × 100mA PD = 0.21W To determine the maximum ambient operating temperature of the package, use the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the device and the following basic equation: Applications Information Enable/Shutdown The MIC5253 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-modecurrent 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. Input Capacitor The MIC5253 is a high performance, high bandwidth device. Therefore, it requires a well-bypassed input supply for optimal performance. A 1µF capacitor is required from the input to ground to provide stability. Low-ESR ceramic capacitors provide optimal performance at a minimum of space. Additional high-frequency capacitors, such as small valued NPO dielectric type capacitors, help filter out high frequency noise and are good practice in any RF based circuit. Output Capacitor The MIC5253 requires an output capacitor for stability. The design requires 1µF or greater on the output 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 1µF ceramic output capacitor and does not improve significantly with larger capacitance. X7R/X5R dielectric-type ceramic capacitors are recommended because of their temperature performance. X7Rtype 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 an X7R ceramic capacitor to ensure the same minimum capacitance over the equivalent operating temperature range. Bypass Capacitor A capacitor can be placed 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 MIC5253 to drive a large capacitor on the bypass pin without significantly slowing turn-on time. Refer to the “Typical Characteristics” section for performance with different bypass capacitors. Active Shutdown The MIC5253 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. August 2004 T (max) − TA PD (max) = J θ JA TJ(max) = 125°C, the max. junction temperture of the die θJA thermal resistance = 400°C/W Table 1 shows junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the MIC5253 in the SC-70 package. Package SC-70-5 (C5) θJA Recommended Minimum Footprint θJA 1" Sq. Copper Clad θJC 400°C/W 325°C 250°C/W Table 1. Thermal Resistance Substituting PD for PD(max) and solving for the ambient operating temperature will give the maximum operating conditions for the regulator circuit. The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the minimum footprint is 400°C/W, from Table 1. The maximum power dissipation must not be exceeded for proper operation. For example, when operating the MIC5253-2.9BC5 at an input voltage of 5.0V and 100mA load with a minimum footprint layout, the maximum ambient operating temperature TA can be determined as follows: 0.21W = 125°C − TA 400°C/W TA = 41°C 7 M9999-081804 MIC5253 Micrel Therefore, a 2.9V application at 100mA of output current can accept an ambient operating temperature of 41°C in a SC-70 package.
