Using a capacitor whose value is > 1F/X7R on the RT9013 input and the amount of capacitance can be increased without limit. The input capacitor must be located a distance of not more than 0.5 inch from the input pin of the IC and returned to a clean analog ground. Any good quality ceramic can be used for this capacitor. The capacitor with larger value and lower ESR (equivalent series resistance) provides better PSRR and line-transient response. The output capacitor must meet both requirements for minimum amount of capacitance and ESR in all LDOs application. The RT9013 is designed specifically to work with low ESR ceramic output capacitor in space-saving and performance consideration. Using a ceramic capacitor whose value is at least 1F with ESR is > 5m on the RT9013 output ensures stability. The RT9013 still works well with output capacitor of other types due to the wide stable ESR range. Figure 1. shows the curves of allowable ESR range as a function of load current for various output capacitor values. Output capacitor of larger capacitance can reduce noise and improve load transient response, stability, and PSRR. The output capacitor should be located not more than 0.5 inch from the VOUT pin of the RT9013 and returned to a clean analog ground. Enable The RT9013 goes into sleep mode when the EN pin is in a logic low condition. During this condition, the RT9013 has an EN pin to turn on or turn off regulator, When the EN pin is logic hight, the regulator will be turned on. The supply current to 0.7A typical. The EN pin may be directly tied to VIN to keep the part on. The Enable input is CMOS logic and cannot be left floating. PSRR The power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) is defined as the gain from the input to output divided by the gain from the supply to the output. The PSRR is found to be PSRR = 20 x log Gain Error Supply Note that when heavy load measuring, supply will cause temperature. And temperature will cause output voltage. So the heavy load PSRR measuring is include temperature effect. Current limit The RT9013 contains an independent current limiter, which monitors and controls the pass transistor's gate voltage, limiting the output current to 0.6A (typ.). The output can be shorted to ground indefinitely without damaging the part.

When the operation junction temperature exceeds 170C, the OTP circuit starts the thermal shutdown function and turns the pass element off. The pass element turn on again after the junction temperature cools by 30C. 250 300 The maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of IC package, PCB layout, the rate of surroundings airflow and temperature difference between junction to ambient. The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by following formula : DS9013-10 April 2011 RT9013 PD(MAX) = ( TJ(MAX) - TA ) /JA Where T J(MAX) is the maximum operation junction temperature, TA is the ambient temperature and the JA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance. For recommended operating conditions specification of RT9013 the maximum junction temperature is 125C and TA is the operated ambient temperature. The junction to ambient thermal resistance JA (JA is layout dependent) for WDFN-6L 2x2 package is 165C/W, SOT-23-5 package is 250C/W and SC-70-5/ SC-82 package is 333C/W on the standard JEDEC 51-3 single-layer thermal test board. The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25C can be calculated by following formula : PD(MAX) = (125C - 25C) / 165C/W = 0.606 W for WDFN-6L 2x2 packages PD(MAX) = (125C - 25C) / 250C/W = 0.400 W for SOT-23-5 packages PD(MAX) = (125C - 25C) / 333C/W = 0.300 W for SC-70-5/ SC-82 packages The maximum power dissipation depends on operating ambient temperature for fixed TJ(MAX) and thermal resistance JA. For RT9013 package, the Figure 2 of derating curves allows the designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature on the maximum power dissipation allowed. 0.7 Single Layer PCB Power Dissipation (W) 0.6 0.5 WDFN-6L 2x2 SOT-23-5 0.4 0.3 SC-70-5/ SC-82 0.2 0.1 0 0 12.5 25 37.5 50 62.5 75 87.5 100 113 125 Ambient Temperature (C) Figure 2.
