Micrel MIC5209-4.2BS 500ma low-noise ldo regulator Datasheet

MIC5209
500mA Low-Noise LDO Regulator
General Description
Features
The MIC5209 is an efficient linear voltage regulator with very
low dropout voltage, typically 10mV at light loads and less
than 500mV at full load, with better than 1% output voltage
accuracy.
• Meets Intel® Slot 1 and Slot 2 requirements
• Guaranteed 500mA output over the full operating
temperature range
• Low 500mV maximum dropout voltage at full load
• Extremely tight load and line regulation
• Thermally-efficient surface-mount package
• Low temperature coefficient
• Current and thermal limiting
• Reversed-battery protection
• No-load stability
• 1% output accuracy
• Ultra-low-noise capability in SO-8 and TO-263-5
• Ultra-small 3mm x 3mm MLF™ package
Designed especially for hand-held, battery-powered devices,
the MIC5209 features low ground current to help prolong
battery life. An enable/shutdown pin on SO-8 and TO-2635 versions can further improve battery life with near-zero
shutdown current.
Key features include reversed-battery protection, current
limiting, overtemperature shutdown, ultra-low-noise capability
(SO-8 and TO-263-5 versions), and availability in thermally
efficient packaging. The MIC5209 is available in adjustable
or fixed output voltages.

Notes:
1. Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
2. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
3. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any TA (ambient temperature) is calculated using: 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. See Table 1 and the
“Thermal Considerations” section for details.
4. Output voltage temperature coefficient is the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range.
5. Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Parts are tested for load regulation in the load range
from 100µA to 500mA. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered by the thermal regulation specification.
6. 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.
7. Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current plus pass transistor base current. The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of the load
current plus the ground pin current.
8. VEN is the voltage externally applied to devices with the EN (enable) input pin. [SO-8 (M) and TO-263-5 (U) packages only.]
9. Thermal regulation is 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 500mA load pulse at VIN = 16V for t = 10ms.
10. CBYP is an optional, external bypass capacitor connected to devices with a BYP (bypass) or ADJ (adjust) pin. [SO-8 (M) and TO-263-5 (U) packages
only].

Applications Information
Thermal Considerations
The SOT-223 has a ground tab which allows it to dissipate
more power than the SO-8. Refer to “Slot-1 Power Supply”
for details. At 25°C ambient, it will operate reliably at 2W
dissipation with “worst-case” mounting (no ground plane,
minimum trace widths, and FR4 printed circuit board).
Enable/Shutdown
Enable is available only on devices in the SO-8 (M) and
TO-263-5 (U) packages.
Forcing EN (enable/shutdown) high (> 2V) enables the regulator. EN is compatible with CMOS logic. If the enable/shutdown
feature is not required, connect EN to IN (supply input).
Thermal resistance values for the SO-8 represent typical
mounting on a 1”-square, copper-clad, FR4 circuit board.
For greater power dissipation, SO-8 versions of the MIC5209
feature a fused internal lead frame and die bonding arrangement that reduces thermal resistance when compared to
standard SO-8 packages.
Input Capacitor
A 1µF capacitor should be placed from IN to GND if there is
more than 10 inches of wire between the input and the ac
filter capacitor or if a battery is used as the input.
Output Capacitor
Package
An output capacitor is required between OUT and GND to
prevent oscillation. The minimum size of the output capacitor
is dependent upon whether a reference bypass capacitor is
used. 1µF minimum is recommended when CBYP is not used
(see Figure 1). 2.2µF minimum is recommended when CBYP
is 470pF (see Figure 2). Larger values improve the regulator’s
transient response.

Table 1. MIC5209 Thermal Resistance
The output capacitor should have an ESR (equivalent series
resistance) of about 1Ω and a resonant frequency above
1MHz. Ultra-low-ESR capacitors can cause a low amplitude
oscillation on the output and/or underdamped transient response. Most tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors
are adequate; film types will work, but are more expensive.
Since many aluminum electrolytics have electrolytes that
freeze at about –30°C, solid tantalums are recommended
for operation below –25°C.
Multilayer boards with a ground plane, wide traces near the
pads, and large supply-bus lines will have better thermal conductivity and will also allow additional power dissipation.
At lower values of output current, less output capacitance
is needed for output stability. The capacitor can be reduced
to 0.47µF for current below 10mA or 0.33µF for currents
below 1mA.
Low-Voltage Operation
For additional heat sink characteristics, please refer to Micrel Application Hint 17, “Designing P.C. Board Heat Sinks”,
included in Micrel’s Databook. For a full discussion of heat
sinking and thermal effects on voltage regulators, refer to
Regulator Thermals section of Micrel’s Designing with LowDropout Voltage Regulators handbook.
The MIC5209-1.8 and MIC5209-2.5 require special consideration when used in voltage-sensitive systems. They
may momentarily overshoot their nominal output voltages
unless appropriate output and bypass capacitor values are
chosen.
No-Load Stability
The MIC5209 will remain stable and in regulation with no load
(other than the internal voltage divider) unlike many other
voltage regulators. This is especially important in CMOS
RAM keep-alive applications.
During regulator power up, the pass transistor is fully saturated for a short time, while the error amplifier and voltage
reference are being powered up more slowly from the output
(see “Block Diagram”). Selecting larger output and bypass
capacitors allows additional time for the error amplifier and
reference to turn on and prevent overshoot.
Reference Bypass Capacitor
BYP (reference bypass) is available only on devices in SO-8
and TO-263-5 packages.
To ensure that no overshoot is present when starting up into
a light load (100µA), use a 4.7µF output capacitance and
470pF bypass capacitance. This slows the turn-on enough
to allow the regulator to react and keep the output voltage
from exceeding its nominal value. At heavier loads, use a
10µF output capacitance and 470pF bypass capacitance.
Lower values of output and bypass capacitance can be used,
depending on the sensitivity of the system.
BYP is connected to the internal voltage reference. A 470pF
capacitor (CBYP) connected from BYP to GND quiets this
reference, providing a significant reduction in output noise
(ultra-low-noise performance). Because CBYP reduces the
phase margin, the output capacitor should be increased to
at least 2.2µF to maintain stability.
The start-up speed of the MIC5209 is inversely proportional
to the size of the reference bypass capacitor. Applications
requiring a slow ramp-up of output voltage should consider
larger values of CBYP. Likewise, if rapid turn-on is necessary,
consider omitting CBYP.
Applications that can withstand some overshoot on the output
of the regulator can reduce the output capacitor and/or reduce
or eliminate the bypass capacitor. Applications that are not
sensitive to overshoot due to power-on reset delays can use
normal output and bypass capacitor configurations.
If output noise is not critical, omit CBYP and leave BYP
open.

Please note the junction temperature range of the regulator
at 1.8V output (fixed and adjustable) is 0˚C to +125˚C.

Slot-1 Power Supply
Intel’s Pentium II processors have a requirement for a 2.5V
±5% power supply for a clock synthesizer and its associated
loads. The current requirement for the 2.5V supply is dependant upon the clock synthesizer used, the number of clock
outputs, and the type of level shifter (from core logic levels to
2.5V levels). Intel estimates a worst-case load of 320mA.

2.2µF
The MIC5209 was designed to provide the 2.5V power
requirement for Slot-1 applications. Its guaranteed performance of 2.5V ±3% at 500mA allows adequate margin for
all systems, and its dropout voltage of 500mV means that it
operates from a worst-case 3.3V supply where the voltage
can be as low as 3.0V.

A Slot-1 power supply (Figure 5) is easy to implement. Only
two capacitors are necessary, and their values are not critical. CIN bypasses the internal circuitry and should be at least
0.1µF. COUT provides output filtering, improves transient
response, and compensates the internal regulator control
loop. Its value should be at least 22µF. CIN and COUT may
be increased as much as desired.

Figure 3. Low-Noise Adjustable Voltage Regulator
The MIC5209BM/U can be adjusted to a specific output voltage by using two external resistors (Figure 3). The resistors
set the output voltage based on the equation:

Slot-1 Power Supply Power Dissipation
Powered from a 3.3V supply, the Slot-1 power supply of
Figure 5 has a nominal efficiency of 75%. At the maximum
anticipated Slot 1 load (320mA), the nominal power dissipation is only 256mW.
This equation is correct due to the configuration of the
bandgap reference. The bandgap voltage is relative to the
output, as seen in the block diagram. Traditional regulators normally have the reference voltage relative to ground;
therefore, their equations are different from the equation for
the MIC5209BM/U.
The SOT-223 package has sufficient thermal characteristics
for wide design margins when mounted on a single layer
copper-clad printed circuit board. The power dissipation of
the MIC5209 is calculated using the voltage drop across the
device × output current plus supply voltage × ground current.
Although ADJ is a high-impedance input, for best performance,
R2 should not exceed 470kΩ.

Considering worst case tolerances, the power dissipation
could be as high as:
Figure 6 shows the necessary copper pad area to obtain
specific heat sink thermal resistance (θSA) values. The θSA
values in Table 2 require much less than 500mm2 of copper,
according to Figure 6, and can easily be accomplished with
the minimum footprint.
