Ordering Information
General Description
The RT9193 is designed for portable RF and wireless
applications with demanding performance and space
requirements. The RT9193 perf ormance is optimized for
battery-powered systems to deliver ultra low noise and
low quiescent current. A noise bypa ss pin is available for
further reduction of output noise. Regulator ground current
increases only slightly in dropout, further prolonging the
battery life. The RT9193 also works with low-ESR cera mic
ca pacitors, reducing the a mount of board space necessary
for power applications, critical in hand-held wireless
devices. The RT9193 consumes less than 0.01μA in
shutdown mode and has fast turn-on time less than 50μs.
The other features include ultra low dropout voltage, high
output accuracy , current limiting protection, and high ripple
rejection ratio. Available in the SC-70-5, SOT-23-5,
TSOT -23-5, W DFN-6L 2x2 and MSOP-8 packages.

Applications Information
Like any low dropout regulator, the external capacitors
used with the RT9193 must be carefully selected for
regulator stability and performance. Using a capacitor
whose value is >1μF on the RT9193 input a nd the amount
of capacitance can be incre ased without limit. The in put
ca pacitor must be located a dista nce of not more than 0.5
inch from the input pin of the IC and returned to a clea n
analog ground. Any good quality cera mic or tantalum ca n
be used for this ca pa citor . The ca pa citor 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
a mount of capa cita nce a nd ESR in all LDOs a pplication.
The RT9193 is designed specifically to work with low ESR
ceramic output capa citor in space-saving and performance
consideration. Using a cera mic ca pa citor whose value is
at least 1μF with ESR is >1mΩ on the RT9193 output
ensures stability . The RT9193 still works well with output
ca pacitor of other types due to the wide stable ESR ra nge.
Figure 1 shows the curves of allowable ESR ra nge as a
function of load current for various output ca pacitor values.
Output ca pa citor of larger capa citance ca n reduce noise
and improve load tra nsient response, stability , a nd PSRR.
The output ca pacitor should be located not more than 0.5
inch from the VOUT pin of the RT9193 and returned to a
clean a nalog ground.
Figure 1
Bypa ss Ca pa citor and Low Noise
Connecting a 22nF between the BP pin and GND pin
significantly reduces noise on the regulator output, it is
critical that the ca pa citor connection between the BP pin
and GND pin be direct and PCB tra ces should be as short
as possible. There is a relation ship between the bypass
capacitor value and the LDO regulator turn on time. DC
leakage on this pin can affect the LDO regulator output
noise and voltage regulation performa nce.
Enable Function
The RT9193 features an LDO regulator enable/disable
function. To a ssure the LDO regulator will switch on, the
EN turn on control level must be greater than 1.2 volts.
The LDO regulator will go into the shutdown mode when
the voltage on the EN pin falls below 0.4 volts. For to
protecting the system, the RT9193 have a quick-discharge
function. If the enable function is not needed in a specific
a pplication, it may be tied to VIN to keep the LDO regulator
in a continuously on state.
Thermal Considerations
Thermal protection limits power dissipation in RT9193.
When the operation junction temperature exceeds 165°C,
the OTP circuit starts the thermal shutdown function turn
the pass element off. The pass element turn on again
after the junction temperature cools by 30°C.
For continue operation, do not exceed absolute maximum
operation junction temperature 125°C. The power
dissipation definition in device is :
PD = (VIN VOUT) x IOUT + VIN x IQ
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 a mbient. The maximum power dissipation can
be calculated by following formula :
PD(MAX) = ( TJ(MAX) TA ) /θJA
Where TJ(MAX) is the maximum operation junction
temperature 125°C, TA is the ambient temperature and
the θJA is the junction to a mbient thermal re sistance.

For recommended operating conditions specification of
RT9193, where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction
temperature of the die (125°C) and TA is the maximum
ambient temperature. The junction to ambient thermal
resistance (θJA is layout dependent) for TSOT-23-5/
SOT-23-5 package is 250°C/W, SC-70-5 package is
333°C/W, W DF N-6L 2x2 package is 165°C/W and MSOP-
8 pa ckage is 160°C/W on sta ndard JEDEC 51-3 thermal
test board. The maximum power dissi pation at TA = 25°C
can be calculated by following f ormula :
PD(MAX) = (125°C 25°C) / 333 = 300mW for
SC-70-5
PD(MAX) = (125°C 25°C) / 250 = 400mW for
TSOT-23-5/SOT-23-5
PD(MAX) = (125°C 25°C) / 165 = 606mW for
W DFN-6L 2x2
PD(MAX) = (125°C 25°C) / 160 = 625mW for
MSOP-8
The maximum power dissipation depends on operating
ambient temperature for fixed TJ(MAX) and thermal
resistance θJA. For RT9193 packages, the Figure 2 of
derating curves allows the designer to see the effect of
rising ambient temperature on the maximum power
allowed.
