Note 1. 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.

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. For a full discussion of heat sinking and thermal effects on voltage regulators.

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.

Dual-Supply Operation
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.
