General Description
The MIC29712 is a high-current, high-accuracy,
low-dropout voltage regulator that features fast
transient recovery from input voltage surges and output
load current changes. This regulator uses a PNP pass
element that features Microchip’s proprietary Super
ßeta PNP process.
The MIC29712 is an adjustable output voltage device.
It is fully protected against overcurrent faults, reversed
lead insertion, overtemperature operation, and positive
and negative transient voltage spikes.
A TTL-compatible enable (EN) control pin supports
external on/off control. If on/off control is not required,
the device may be continuously enabled by connecting
EN to IN.
The MIC29712 is available in the 5-pin TO-220
package with an operating junction temperature range
of 0°C to +125°C.
For applications that require even lower dropout
voltage or input voltage greater than 16V, see the
MIC29752.

MIC29712
4.0 APPLICATION INFORMATION
The MIC29712 is a high performance, low-dropout
voltage regulator suitable for all moderate to
high-current voltage regulator applications. Its 700 mV
of dropout voltage at full load make it especially
valuable in battery-powered systems and as high
efficiency noise filters in post-regulator applications.
Unlike older NPN-pass transistor designs, where the
minimum dropout voltage is limited by the base-emitter
voltage drop and collector-emitter saturation voltage,
dropout performance of the PNP output of this device
is limited merely by the low VCE saturation voltage.
Output regulation is excellent across the input voltage,
output current, and temperature ranges.
A trade-off for the low dropout voltage is a varying base
drive requirement. But Microchip’s Super ßeta PNP
process reduces this drive requirement to merely 2% to
5% of the load current.
The MIC29712 regulator is fully protected from damage
due to fault conditions. Current limiting is provided. The
output current under overload conditions is limited to a
constant value. Thermal shutdown disables the device
when the die temperature exceeds the maximum safe
operating temperature. Transient protection allows
device (and load) survival even when the input voltage
spike above and below nominal. The MIC29712 offers
a logic level ON/OFF control: when disabled, the
devices draw nearly zero current.
An additional feature of this regulator is a common
pinout: a design’s current requirement may change up
or down, but use the same board layout because all of
Microchip’s high-current Super ßeta PNP regulators
have identical pinouts.
4.1 Thermal Design
Linear regulators are simple to use. The most
complicated design parameters to consider are thermal
characteristics. Thermal design requires the following
application-specific parameters:
• Maximum ambient temperature, TA
• Output Current, IOUT
• Output Voltage, VOUT
• Input Voltage, VIN
First, calculate the power dissipation of the regulator
from these values and the device parameters from this
data sheet.
EQUATION 4-1:
PD1.03IOUT VIN VOUT
–=
Where:
Ground current is approximated by 3% of IOUT.
Then the heat sink thermal resistance is determined
with the following formula:
EQUATION 4-2:
SA TJMAX
TA
–
PD
-------------------------------- JC CS
+–=
Where:
TJ(MAX) 125°C.
CS = Between 0°C/W and 2°C/W.
The heat sink may be significantly reduced in
applications where the minimum input voltage is known
and is large compared with the dropout voltage. Use a
series input resistor to drop excessive voltage and
distribute the heat between this resistor and the
regulator. The low dropout properties of the Super ßeta
PNP regulators allow for significant reductions in
regulator power dissipation and the associated heat
sink without compromising performance. When this
technique is employed, a capacitor of at least 0.1 µF is
needed directly between the input and regulator
ground.
Please refer to Application Note 9 for further details and
examples on thermal design and heat sink
specification.
4.2 Capacitor Requirements
For stability and minimum output noise, a capacitor on
the regulator output is necessary. The value of this
capacitor depends upon the output current; lower
currents allow smaller capacitors. MIC29712 is stable
with a minimum capacitor value of 47 µF at full load.
This capacitor need not be an expensive low-ESR type:
aluminum electrolytics are adequate. In fact, extremely
low ESR capacitors may contribute to instability.
Tantalum capacitors are recommended for systems
where fast load transient response is important.
Where the regulator is powered from a source with a
high AC impedance, a 0.1 µF capacitor connected
between input and GND is recommended. This
capacitor should have good characteristics to above
250 kHz.
MIC29712
DS20006068A-page 12 2018 Microchip Technology Inc.
4.3 Transient Response and 5V to
3.3V Conversion
The MIC29712 has excellent response to variations in
input voltage and load current. By virtue of its low
dropout voltage, this device does not saturate into
dropout as readily as similar NPN-based designs. A
3.3V output Microchip LDO will maintain full speed and
performance with an input supply as low as 4.2V, and
will still provide some regulation with supplies down to
3.8V, unlike NPN devices that require 5.1V or more for
good performance and become nothing more than a
resistor under 4.6V of input. Microchip’s PNP
regulators provide superior performance in “5V to 3.3V”
conversion applications, especially when all tolerances
are considered.
4.4 Adjustable Regulator Design
The MIC29712 allows programming the output voltage
anywhere between 1.25V and the 16V maximum
operating rating. Two resistors are used. Resistors can
be quite large, up to 100 k, because of the very high
input impedance and low bias current of the sense
comparator. The resistor values are calculated using
the following equation:

4.5 Enable Input
The MIC29712 features an enable (EN) input that
allows ON/OFF control of the device. Special design
allows “zero” current drain when the device is
disabled—only micro-amperes of leakage current
flows. The EN input has TTL/CMOS compatible
thresholds for simple interfacing with logic, or may be
directly tied to VIN. Enabling the regulator requires
approximately 20 µA of current into the EN pin.
4.6 Minimum Load Current
The MIC29712 is specified between finite loads. If the
output current is to small, leakage currents dominate
and the output voltage rises. A 10 mA minimum load
current is necessary for proper regulation.
