General Description
The MIC5204 is an active terminator designed to comply with
SCSI-II specifications. The MIC5204 is enabled by a CMOS
or TTL compatible logic signal. When disabled, power
consumption drops nearly to zero and the output goes into a
high impedance state. Key MIC5204 features include protec-
tion against reversed battery, current limiting, and over-
temperature shutdown.

Note 1. Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
Note 2. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
Note 3. The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, TJ(max), the junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance, θJA, and the ambient temperature, TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated using:
P(max) = (TJ(max) TA) θJA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will
go into thermal shutdown. The θJC of the MIC5204BS is 15°C/W and θJA for the MIC5204BM is 160°C/W mounted on a PC board (see
Thermal Considerations for details).
Note 4. Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range.
Note 5. Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Parts are tested for load regulation in the load
range from 0.1mA to 100mA. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered by the thermal regulation specification.
Note 6. Dropout Voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal value measured at 1V
differential.
Note 7. Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current plus pass transistor base current. The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of
the load current plus the ground pin current.
Note 8. Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time t after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load or line
regulation effects. Specifications are for a 500mA load pulse at VIN = 6V for t = 10ms.

Thermal ConsiderationsApplications Information
External Capacitors
A 2.2µF capacitor is recommended between the MIC5204
output and ground to prevent oscillations due to instability.
Larger values serve to improve the regulator's transient re-
sponse. Most types of tantalum or aluminum electrolytics will
be adequate; film types will work. Many aluminum electrolytics
have electrolytes that freeze at about 30°C, so solid tantalums
are recommended for operation below 25°C. The important
parameters of the capacitor are an effective series resistance
of about 5 or less and a resonant frequency above 500kHz.
The value of this capacitor may be increased without limit.
A 1µF capacitor should be placed from the MIC5204 input to
ground if there is more than 10 inches of wire between the
input and the AC filter capacitor or if a battery is used as the
input.
The MIC5204 will remain stable and in regulation with no load
in addition to the internal voltage divider.
PC Board θJA
Dielectric
FR4 160°C/W
Ceramic 120°C/W
Multi-layer boards having a ground plane, wide traces near
the pads, and large supply bus lines provide better thermal
conductivity. The "worst case" value of 160°C/W assumes no
ground plane, minimum trace widths, and a FR4 material
board.
Part II. Nominal Power Dissipation and Die Temperature
The MIC5204BM at a 25°C ambient temperature will operate
reliably at up to 625mW power dissipation when mounted in
the "worst case" manner described above. At an ambient
temperature of 55°C, the device may safely dissipate 440mW.
These power levels are equivalent to a die temperature of
125°C, the recommended maximum temperature for non-
military grade silicon integrated circuits. In normal SCSI
terminator applications, the average power dissipation is very
small and this minimum geometry heat sink is suitable. The
total dissipation does not approact the 400mW to 625mW
range described above.
For MIC5204BS (SOT-223 package) heat sink characteris-
tics, please refer to Micrel Application Hint 17, P.C. Board
Heat Sinking. As with the SO-8, average power dissipation
in SCSI terminator applications is low and a minimum pad size
is generally adequate.
Part I. Layout

following thermal characteristics when mounted on a single
layer copper-clad printed circuit board.
