Functional Description
Designed utilizing CMOS process technology, the
FAN2502/03 family of products are carefully optimized for
use in compact battery-powered devices, offering a unique
combination of low power consumption, extremely low
dropout voltages, high tolerance for a variety of output
capacitors, and the ability to disable the output to less than
1µA under user control. In the circuit, a difference amplifier
controls the current through a series-pass P-Channel
MOSFET, comparing the load voltage at the output with an
onboard low-drift bandgap reference. The series resistance
of the pass P-Channel MOSFET is approximately 1Ω,
resulting in an unusually low dropout voltage under load
when compared to older bipolar pass-transistor designs.
2
Protection circuitry is provided onboard for overload conditions. In conditions where the device reaches temperatures
exceeding the specified maximums, an onboard circuit shuts
down the output, where it remains suspended until it has
cooled before re-enabling. The user is also free to shut down
the device using the Enable control pin at any time.
Careful design of the output regulator amplifier assures loop
stability over a wide range of ESR values in the external
output capacitor. A wide range of values and types can be
accomodated, allowing the user to select a capacitor meeting
his space, cost, and performance requirements, and enjoy
reliable operation over temperature, load, and tolerance
variations.
REV. 1.1.6 2/11/02
FAN2502/FAN2503
Depending on the model selected, a number of control and
status functions are available to enhance the operation of the
LDO regulator. An Enable pin, available on all devices,
allows the user to shut down the regulator output to conserve
power, reducing supply current to less than 1µA. The
adjustable-voltage versions of the device utilize pin 4 to
connect to an external voltage divider which feeds back to
the regulator error amplifier, thereby setting the voltage as
desired. Two other functions are available at pin 4 in the
fixed-voltage versions: in noise-sensitive applications, an
external Bypass capacitor connection is provided that allows
the user to achieve optimal noise performance at the output,
while the Error output functions as a diagnostic flag to
indicate that the output voltage has dropped more than 5%
below the nominal fixed voltage.
PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
Bypass Capacitor (FAN2502 Only)
In the fixed-voltage configuration, connecting a capacitor
between the bypass pin and ground can significantly reduce
noise on the output. Values ranging from 470pF to 10nF can
be used, depending on the sensitivity to output noise in the
application.
At the high-impedance Bypass pin, care must be taken in the
circuit layout to minimize noise pickup, and capacitors must
be selected to minimize current loading (leakage). Noise
pickup from external sources can be considerable. Leakage
currents into the Bypass pin will directly affect regulator
accuracy and should be kept as low as possible; thus, highquality ceramic and film types are recommended for their
low leakage characteristics. Cost-sensitive applications not
concerned with noise can omit this capacitor.
Applications Information
Control Functions
External Capacitors – Selection
The FAN2502/03 allows the user to utilize a wide variety of
capacitors compared to other LDO products. An innovative
design approach offers significantly reduced sensitivity to
ESR (Effective Series Resistance), which degrades regulator
loop stability in older designs. While the improvements featured in the FAN2502/03 family greatly simplify the design
task, capacitor quality still must be considered if the designer
is to achieve optimal circuit performance. In general,
ceramic capacitors offer superior ESR performance, at a
lower cost and a smaller case size than tantalums. Those with
X7R or Y5Vdielectric offer the best temperature coefficient
characteristics. The combination of tolerance and variation
over temperature in some capacitor types can result in significant variations, resulting in unstable performance over rated
conditions.
Input Capacitor
An input capacitor of 2.2µF (nominal value) or greater,
connected between the Input pin and Ground, located in
close proximity to the device, will improve transient
response and noise rejection. Higher values will offer superior input ripple rejection and transient response. An input
capacitor is recommended when the input source, either a
battery or a regulated AC voltage, is located far from the
device. Any good quality ceramic, tantalum, or metal film
capacitor will give acceptable performance, however tantalum capacitors with a surge current rating appropriate to the
application must be selected to avoid catastrophic failure.
Output Capacitor
An output capacitor is required to maintain regulator loop
stability. Unlike many other LDO regulators, the FAN2502/
03 family of products are nearly insensitve to output capacitor ESR. Stable operation will be achieved with a wide
variety of capacitors with ESR values ranging from 10mΩ to
10Ω or more. Tantalum or aluminum electrolytic, or multilayer ceramic types can all be used. A nominal value of at
least 1µF is recommended.
REV. 1.1.6 2/11/02
Enable Pin
Applying a voltage of 0.4V or less at the Enable pin will
disable the output, reducing the quiescent output current to
less than 1µA, while a voltage of 2.0V or greater will enable
the device. If this shutdown function is not needed, the pin
can simply be connected to the VIN pin. Allowing this pin to
float will cause erratic operation.
Error Flag (FAN2503 only)
To indicate conditions such as input voltage dropout
(low VIN), overheating, or overloading (excessive output current), the ERR pin indicates a fault condition. It is an opendrain output which is HIGH when the voltage at VOUT is
greater than 95% of the nominal rated output voltage and
LOW when VOUT is less than 95% or the rated output voltage, as specified in the error trip level characteristics.
A logic pullup resistor of 100KΩ is recommended at this
output. The pin can be left disconnected if unused.
Thermal Protection
The FAN2502/03 is designed to supply high peak output currents of up to 1A for brief periods, however this output load
will cause the device temperature to increase and exceed
maximum ratings due to power dissipation. During output
overload conditions, when the die temperature exceeds the
shutdown limit temperature of 150°C, onboard thermal
protection will disable the output until the temperature drops
below this limit, at which point the output is then re-enabled.
During a thermal shutdown situation the user may assert the
power-down function at the Enable pin, reducing power
consumption to the minimum level IGND x VIN.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
Thermal Characteristics
The FAN2502/03 is designed to supply 150mA at the
specified output voltage with an operating die (junction)
temperature of up to 125°C. Once the power dissipation and
thermal resistance is known, the maximum junction
temperature of the device can be calculated. While the power
dissipation is calculated from known electrical parameters,
the thermal resistance is a result of the thermal characteristics of the compact SOT23-5 surface-mount package and the
surrounding PC Board copper to which it is mounted.
The power dissipation is equal to the product of the input-tooutput voltage differential and the output current plus the
ground current multiplied by the input voltage, or:
P D = ( V IN – V OUT )I OUT + V IN I GND
The ground pin current IGND can be found in the charts
provided in the Electrical Characteristics section.
The relationship describing the thermal behavior of the
package is:
 T J ( max ) – T A 
P D ( max ) =  ------------------------------- 
θ JA


where TJ(max) is the maximum allowable junction temperature of the die, which is 125°C, and TA is the ambient operating temperature. θJA is dependent on the surrounding PC
board layout and can be empirically obtained. While the θJC
(junction-to-case) of the SOT23-5 package is specified at
130°C /W, the θJA of the minimum PWB footprint will be at
least 235°C /W. This can be improved upon by providing a
heat sink of surrounding copper ground on the PWB.
Depending on the size of the copper area, the resulting θJA
can range from approximately 180°C /W for one square inch
to nearly 130°C /W for 4 square inches. The addition of
backside copper with through-holes, stiffeners, and other
enhancements can also aid in reducing this value. The heat
contributed by the dissipation of other devices located
nearby must be included in design considerations.
Once the limiting parameters in these two relationships have
been determined, the design can be modified to ensure that
the device remains within specified operating conditions.
If overload conditions are not considered, it is possible for
4
FAN2502/FAN2503
the device to enter a thermal cycling loop, in which the
circuit enters a shutdown condition, cools, re-enables, and
then again overheats and shuts down repeatedly due to an
unmanaged fault condition.
Operation of Adjustable Version
The adjustable version of the FAN2502/03 includes an input
pin ADJ which allows the user to select an output voltage
ranging from 1.5V to near VIN, using an external resistor
divider. The voltage VADJ presented to the ADJ pin is fed to
the onboard error amplifier which adjusts the output voltage
until VADJ is equal to the onboard bandgap reference voltage
of 1.32V(typ). The equation is:
R upper
V OUT = 1.32V × 1 + ---------------R lower
The total value of the resistor chain should not exceed
250KΩ total to keep the error amplifier biased during
no-load conditions. Programming output voltages very near
VIN need to allow for the magnitude and variation of the
dropout voltage VDO over load, supply, and temperature
variations. Note that the low-leakage FET input to the
CMOS Error Amplifier induces no bias current error to the
calculation.
General PWB Layout Considerations
To achieve the full performance of the device, careful circuit
layout and grounding technique must be observed. Establishing a small local ground, to which the GND pin, the output
and bypass capacitors are connected, is recommended, while
the input capacitor should be grounded to the main ground
plane. The quiet local ground is then routed back to the main
ground plane using feedthrough vias. In general, the highfrequency compensation components (input, bypass, and
output capacitors) should be located as close to the device as
possible. The proximity of the output capacitor is especially
important to achieve optimal noise compensation from the
onboard error amplifier, especially during high load conditions. A large copper area in the local ground will provide the
heat sinking discussed above when high power dissipation
significantly increases the temperature of the device.
Component-side copper provides significantly better thermal
performance for this surface-mount device, compared to that
obtained when using only copper planes on the underside.
