MIC5323 High PSRR Low Noise 300mA Cap Ultra-Low Dropout LDO Regulator General Description The MIC5323 is a high-performance, 300mA LDO regulator, offering extremely high PSRR and very low noise while consuming low ground current. Ideal for battery operated applications, the MIC5323 features 2% accuracy, extremely low dropout voltage (120mV @ 300mA), and low ground current at light load (typically 90A). When disabled, the MIC5323 typically consumes less than 1A. The MIC5323 is a Cap design operating with small ceramic output capacitors for stability, thereby reducing required board space and component cost. The MIC5323 is available in fixed output voltages and adjustable output voltages in the super compact 6-pin 2mm x 2mm Thin MLF(R) and thin SOT-23-5 package. Additional voltage options are available.

MIC5323 Application Information Enable/Shutdown The MIC5323 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. slowing turn on time. Refer to the Typical Characteristics section for performance with different bypass capacitors. No Load Stability Unlike many other voltage regulators, the MIC5323 will remain stable and in regulation with no load. This is especially important in CMOS RAM keep alive applications. Adjustable Regulator Application Adjustable regulators use the ratio of two resistors to multiply the reference voltage to produce the desired output voltage. The MIC5323 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 V = VREF 1 + OUT R2 Input Capacitor The MIC5323 is a high performance, high bandwidth device. Therefore, it requires a well-bypassed input supply for optimal performance. A 2.2F capacitor is required from the input-to-ground to provide stability. Low ESR ceramic capacitors provide optimal performance using a minimum amount of space. Additional high frequency capacitors, such as small valued NPO dielectric type capacitors, help filter out high-frequency noise, and are a good practice in any RF based circuit. VREF = 1.25V Output Capacitor The MIC5323 requires an output capacitor of 2.2F 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 2.2F ceramic output capacitor, and it 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, making them 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. Figure 1. Adjustable Voltage Application 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 PSRR. Turn-on time increases slightly with respect to bypass capacitance. A unique, quick-start circuit allows the MIC5323 to drive a large capacitor on the bypass pin without significantly November 2011 9 M9999-110311B Micrel, Inc. MIC5323 Thermal Considerations The MIC5323 is designed to provide 300mA of continuous current in a very small package. 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 3.3V, the output voltage is 2.8V and the output current = 300mA. The actual power dissipation of the regulator circuit can be determined using the equation: thermal resistance, 93C/W. Substituting PD for PD(max) and solving for the ambient operating temperature will give the maximum operating conditions for the regulator circuit consuming PD watts. The maximum power dissipation must not be exceeded for proper operation. For example, when operating the MIC5323-2.8YMT at an input voltage of 3.3V and 300mA load with a minimum footprint layout, the maximum ambient can be solved for as follows: PD = (VIN - VOUT) IOUT + VIN IGND 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. 125C - TA 0.15W 93C/W PD = (3.3V - 2.8V) x 300mA PD = 0.15W TA 111C To determine the maximum ambient operating temperature of the package, use the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the device and the following basic equation: TJ(max) - TA PD(max) JA Therefore, a 2.8V application at 300mA of output current can accept an ambient operating temperature of 111C in a 6 pin 2mm x 2mm Thin 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.
