High Efficiency Linear Power Supply with Pow er
Surveillance and Time-out
Description
The A6300 offers a high level of integration by combining
voltage regulation and voltage monitoring. The voltage
regulator has a low dropout ( typ. 380 mV at 100 mA ) and a
low quiescent current (100 µA). The quiescent current
increases only slightly in dropout prolonging battery life.
Built-in protection includes a positive transient absorber for
up to 60 V (load dump) and the ability to survive an
unregulated input voltage of –20 V (reverse battery). The
INPUT may be connected to ground or a reverse voltage
without reverse current flow from the OUTPUT to the
INPUT. Upon the OUTPUT voltage rising above VTH, the
reset output, whether RES or RES , will remain active (RES
= 1, RES = 0) for an additional time of 50 ms. This allows
the system voltage and the oscillator of the microprocessor
to stabilize before they becomes fully active. When VOUTPUT
falls below VTH, the reset output goes active. Threshold
voltage can be obtained in different versions: 2 V, 2.4 V, 2.8
V, 3.5 V, 4 V.

Handling Procedures
This device has built-in protection against high static
voltages or electric fields; however, it is advised that normal
precautions be taken as for any other CMOS component.
Unless otherwise specified, proper operation can only occur
when all terminal voltages are kept within the voltage range.
Unused inputs must always be tied to a defined logic
voltage level.

Functional Description
Voltage Regulator
The A6300 has a 5 V ± 2%, 100 mA, low dropout voltage
regulator. The low supply current (typ.100 µA) makes the
A6300 particularly suited to automotive systems then remain
energized 24 hours a day. The input voltage range is 2.3 V
to 26 V for operation and the input protection includes both
reverse battery (20 V below ground) and load dump
(positive transients up to 60 V). There is no reverse current
flow from the OUTPUT to the INPUT when the INPUT
equals VSS. This feature is important for systems which
need to implement (with capacitance) a minimum power
supply hold-up time in the event of power failure. To achieve
good load regulation a 22 µF capacitor (or greater) is
needed on the INPUT (see Fig. 5). Tantalum or aluminium
electrolytics are adequate for the 22 µF capacitor; film types
will work but are relatively expensive. Many aluminium
electrolytics have electrolytes that freeze at about –30 °C,
so tantalums are recommended for operation below –25 °C.
The important parameters of the 22 µF capacitor are an
effective series resistance of 5 and a resonant
frequency above 500 kHz.
A 10 µF capacitor (or greater) and a 100 nF capacitor are
required on the OUTPUT to prevent oscillations due to
instability. The specification of the 10 µF capacitor is as per
the 22 µF capacitor on the INPUT (see previous paragraph).
The A6300 will remain stable and in regulation with no
external load and the dropout voltage is typically constant as
the input voltage fall to below its minimum level (see
Table 2). These features are especially important in CMOS
RAM keep-alive applications.
Voltage Monitoring
The power-on reset and the power-down reset are
generated internally with a voltage comparison of the
voltage reference and the resistor divider (see Fig. 4).
At power-up the reset output (RES ) is held low (see Fig. 3).
After OUTPUT reaches VTH, the RES output is held low for
an additional power-on-reset (POR) delay tPOR (typically
50 ms).The power-on reset delay prevents repeated
toggling of RES even if VOUTPUT and the INPUT voltage
drops out and recovers. The POR delay allows the
microprocessor’s crystal oscillator time to stabilize and to
ensure correct recognition of the reset signal to the
microprocessor.
The RES output goes active low generating the power-
down reset whenever VOUTPUT falls below VTH. The
sensitivity or reaction time of the internal comparator to the
voltage level on VIN is typically 70 µs.
Temperature Consideration
Care must be taken not to exceed the maximum junction
temperature (+ 125 °C). The power dissipation within the
A6300 is given by the formula:
TTOTAL = (VINPUT – VOUTPUT) * IOUTPUT + (VINPUT) * ISS
The maximum continuous power dissipation at a given
temperature can be calculated using the formula:
P
max = (125 °C – TA) / Rth(j-a)
where Rth(j-a) is the termal resistance from the junction to the
ambient and is specified in Table 2. Note the Rth(j-a) given in
Table 2 assumes that the package is soldered to a PCB.
The above formula for maximum power dissipation assumes
a constant load (i.e. 100 s). The transient thermal
resistance for a single pulse is much lower than the
continuous value.
