MIC5301 Single, 150mA Cap ULDOTM General Description Features The MIC5301 is a high performance, single output ultra low LDO (ULDOTM) regulator, offering low total output noise. The MIC5301 is capable of sourcing 150mA output current and offers high PSRR and low output noise, making it an ideal solution for RF applications. For battery operated applications, the MIC5301 offers 2% accuracy, extremely low dropout voltage (40mV @ 150mA), and low ground current (typically 85A total). The MIC5301 can also be put into a zero-off-mode current state, drawing no current when disabled. The MIC5301 is available in the 1.6mm x 1.6mm Thin MLF(R) package, occupying only 2.56mm2 of PCB area, a 36% reduction in board area compared to SC-70 and 2mm x 2mm MLF(R) packages. The MIC5301 has an operating junction temperature range of -40C to +125C and is available in fixed and adjustable output voltages in lead-free (RoHS compliant) Thin MLF(R) and Thin SOT-23-5 packages.

MIC5301 Applications Information PSRR. Turn-on time increases slightly with respect to bypass capacitance. A unique, quick-start circuit allows the MIC5301 to drive a large capacitor on the bypass pin without significantly slowing turn-on time. Refer to the Typical Characteristics section for performance with different bypass capacitors. Enable/Shutdown The MIC5301 comes with an active-high enable pin that allows the regulator to be disabled. Forcing the enable pin low disables the regulator and sends it into a "zero" off-mode-current state. In this state, current consumed by the regulator goes nearly to zero. Forcing the enable pin high enables the output voltage. The active-high enable pin uses CMOS technology and the enable pin cannot be left floating; a floating enable pin may cause an indeterminate state on the output. No-Load Stability Unlike many other voltage regulators, the MIC5301 will remain stable and in regulation with no load. This is especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive applications. Input Capacitor The MIC5301 is a high-performance, high bandwidth device. Therefore, it requires a well-bypassed input supply for optimal performance. A 1F capacitor is required from the input to ground to provide stability. Low-ESR ceramic capacitors provide optimal performance at a minimum of space. Additional highfrequency capacitors, such as small-valued NPO dielectric-type capacitors, help filter out highfrequency noise and are good practice in any RFbased circuit. Adjustable Regulator Application Adjustable regulators use the ratio of two resistors to multiply the reference voltage to produce the desired output voltage. The MIC5301 can be adjusted from 1.25V to 5.5V by using two external resistors (Figure 1). The resistors set the output voltage based on the following equation: R1 VOUT = VREF 1 + R2 VREF = 1.25V Output Capacitor The MIC5301 requires an output capacitor of 1F or greater to maintain stability. The design is optimized for use with low-ESR ceramic chip capacitors. High ESR capacitors may cause high frequency oscillation. The output capacitor can be increased, but performance has been optimized for a 1F ceramic output capacitor and does not improve significantly with larger capacitance. X7R/X5R dielectric-type ceramic capacitors are recommended because of their temperature performance. X7R-type capacitors change capacitance by 15% over their operating temperature range and are the most stable type of ceramic capacitors. Z5U and Y5V dielectric capacitors change value by as much as 50% and 60%, respectively, over their operating temperature ranges. To use a ceramic chip capacitor with Y5V dielectric, the value must be much higher than an X7R ceramic capacitor to ensure the same minimum capacitance over the equivalent operating temperature range. MIC5301YMT VIN R1 1F EN ADJ GND 1F R2 Figure 1. Adjustable Voltage Output Thermal Considerations The MIC5301 is designed to provide 150mA of continuous current. Maximum ambient operating temperature can be calculated based on the output current and the voltage drop across the part. Given that the input voltage is 5.0V, the output voltage is 2.8V and the output current = 150mA. The actual power dissipation of the regulator circuit can be determined using the equation: PD = (VIN - VOUT) IOUT + VIN IGND Bypass Capacitor A capacitor can be placed from the noise bypass pin to ground to reduce output voltage noise. The capacitor bypasses the internal reference. A 0.1F capacitor is recommended for applications that require low-noise outputs. The bypass capacitor can be increased, further reducing noise and improving April 2008 VOUT VIN VOUT Because this device is CMOS and the ground current is typically <100A over the load range, the power dissipation contributed by the ground current is < 1% and can be ignored for this calculation. PD = (5V - 2.8V) x 150mA PD = 0.33W 8 M9999-042108 Micrel, Inc. MIC5301 To determine the maximum ambient operating temperature of the package, use the junction-toambient thermal resistance of the device and the following basic equation: PD(MAX) = The maximum power dissipation must not be exceeded for proper operation. For example, when operating the MIC5301-2.8YML at an input voltage of 5V and 150mA load with a minimum footprint layout, the maximum ambient operating temperature TA can be determined as follows: TJ(MAX) - TA JA 0.33W = (125C - TA)/(100C/W) TJ(max) = 125C, the maximum junction temperature of the die JA thermal resistance = 100C/W. TA=92C The table below shows junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the MIC5301 in the 6-pin 1.6mm x 1.6mm MLF(R) package. JA Recommended Minimum Footprint Package 6-Pin 1.6x1.6 MLF 6-Pin 1.6x1.6 (R) Thin MLF Therefore, a 2.8V application with 150mA of output current can accept an ambient operating temperature of 92C in a 1.6mm x 1.6mm MLF(R) package. For a full discussion of heat sinking and thermal effects on voltage regulators, refer to the "Regulator Thermals" section of Micrel's Designing with Low-Dropout Voltage Regulators handbook. This information can be found on Micrel's website at: (R) 100C/W 100C/W http://www.micrel.com/_PDF/other/LDOBk_ds.pdf Thermal Resistance Substituting PD for PD(max) and solving for the ambient operating temperature will give the maximum operating conditions for the regulator circuit. The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the minimum footprint is 100C/W. April 2008 9 M9999-042108 Micrel, Inc.
