Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device. Note 2. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating. Note 3: The maximum allowable power dissipation at any TA (ambient temperature) is PD(max) = (TJ(max) -TA) qJA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. Note 4: Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range. Note 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 0.1mA to 150mA. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered by the thermal regulation specification. Note 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. Note 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. Note 8: 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 150mA load pulse at VIN = 16V for t = 10ms. Applications Information Enable/ Shutdown Forcing EN (enable/ shutdown) high (>2V) enables the regulator. EN is compatible with CMOS logic gates. If enable shutdown feature is not required, connect EN (pin 1) to IN (supply input, pin 5). See Figure 3. 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 . Reference Bypass Capacitor BYP (reference bypass) 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. CBYP reduces the regulator phase margin. When using CBYP, output capacitors of 2.2µF or greater are generally required to maintain stability. The start-up speed of GM6156 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. If output noise is not a major concern, omit CBYP and leave BYP open. Output Capacitor 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. 1.0µF minimum is recommended when CBYP is not used (see Figure 2). 2.2µF minimum is recommended when CBYP is 470pF (see Figure 1). Larger values improve the regulator's transient response, the output capacitor value may be increased without limit. The output capacitor should have an ESR (effective series resistance) of about 5W or less 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 ate recommended for operation below -25°C. At lower values for output current, less output capacitance is required for output stability. The capacitor can be reduced to 0.47µF for current below 10mA or 0.33µF for current below 1mA. No-Load Stability GM6156 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. Thermal Considerations GM6156 is designed to provide 150mA 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 part. To determine the maximum power dissipation of the package, use the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the device and the following basic equation: (TJ(max) - TA) RqJA TJ(max) is the maximum junction temperature of the die, 125°C, and TA is the ambient operating temperature. RqJA is layout dependent; Table 1 shows examples of junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the GM6156. GM6156 PD(max) = 5 Parameter RqJA Recommended Minimum Footprint RqJA 1" Square 220°C/ W 170°C/ W SOT-23-5 Copper Clad RqJC 130°C/ W Table 1. SOT-25 Thermal Resistance The actual power dissipation of the regulator circuit can be determined using by the equation: PD = (VIN - VOUT) IOUT + VIN IGND 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 GM6156 at room temperature with a minimum footprint layout, the maximum input voltage for a set output current can be determined as follows: (125°C - 25°C) PD(max) = 220°C/W PD(max) = 455mW The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the minimum footprint is 220°C/ W, from Table 1. The maximum power dissipation must not be exceeded for proper operation. Using the output voltage of 3.3V and an output current of 150mA, the maximum input voltage can be determined. From the Electrical Characteristics table, the maximum ground current for150mA output current is 2500µ or 2.5mA. 455mW = (VIN - 3.3V) 150mA + VIN • 2.5mA 455mW = VIN • 150mA - 495mA + VIN • 2.5mA 950mW = VIN • 152.5mA VIN(max) = 6.23V Therefore, a 3.3V application at 150mA of output current can accept a maximum input voltage of 6.2V in a SOT-25 package.

C OUT = 1µF minimum. Adjustable Regulator Applications The GM6156 can be adjusted to a specific output voltage by using two externa resistors (Figure 5). The resistors set the output voltage based on the following equation: VOUT = 1.242V X ( R2 +1) R1 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 and have a different VOUT equation. Resistor values are not critical because ADJ(adjust) has a high input impedance, but use resistors of 470kW or less for best results. A capacitor from ADJ to ground provides greatly improved noise performance. GM6156 1 2 3 VIN 5 VOUT 4 R1 470pF R2 Figure 5.
