General Description
The RT9053A is a high performance, 400mA LDO regulator
a nd ultra low dropout. The quiescent current is as low a s
42μA, further prolonging the battery life. The RT9053A also
works with low ESR ceramic capacitors, reducing the
a mount of board space necessary for power a pplications,
critical in handheld wireless devices.
The RT9053A consumes typically 0.7μA in shutdown
mode. The other features include low dropout voltage, high
output accuracy, and current limiting protection. The
RT9053A is available in SOT-23-5 and WDFN-6L 2x2

Output Voltage Setting

of the output voltage for various application as shown in

A low dropout regulator with a higher PSRR ca n provide
better line transient performance.
Current Limit
The RT9053A implements an independent current limit
circuit, which monitors and controls the pass element’s
gate voltage to limit the output current at 650mA (typ.). If
the current limit condition la sts for a long time, the regulator
temperature may increase high enough to damage the
regulator itself. Therefore, the RT9053A implements
current limit function and thermal protection function to
prevent the regulator from damage when the output is
shorted to ground.
Application Information
Input Capacitor Selection
Like any low dropout linear regulator, the external
capacitors used with the RT9053A must be carefully
selected for stability and performance. The input
capa cita nce is recommended to be at le ast 1μF, a nd ca n
be increased without limit. The input capacitor must be
located at a dista nce of le ss than 0.5 inch from the input
pin of the IC and returned to a clean ground plane. Any
high-quality ceramic capacitor or tantalum capacitor can
be used for the input ca pacitor. Using input ca pa citor with
larger capacitance and lower ESR (Equivalent Series
Resistance) can obtain better PSRR and line transient
response.
Output Capacitor Selection
The RT9053A is designed specifically to work with low
ESR ceramic output capacitor to save board space and
have better performance. The output capacitor is
recommended to be at lea st 1μF. Larger ca pacitance ca n
reduce noise and improve load transient response, stability
and PSRR. The RT9053A can operate with other types of
output capacitor due to its wide stable operation range.
The output ca p a citor should be pla ced less tha n 0.5 inch
from the VOUT pin and returned to a clea n ground plane.

Enable Function
The RT9053A features enable/shutdown function. The
voltage at the EN pin determines the enable/shutdown
state of the regulator . To ensure the regulator will switch
on, the enable control voltage must be greater than 1.6V .
The regulator will enter shutdown mode when the voltage
at the EN pin falls below 0.6V . If the enable function is not
needed, the EN pin should be pulled high or simply tied
to VIN to keep the regulator in a n on state.
PSRR
RT9053A features high Power Supply Rejection Ratio
(PSRR), which is defined as the ratio of output voltage
change against input voltage change.
Thermal Considerations
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum junction temperature. The maximum power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and
difference between junction and ambient temperature. The
maximum power dissipation can be calculated by the
following formula :
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) TA ) / θJA
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA is
the a mbient temperature, and θJA is the junction to ambient
thermal resistance.

Single-Layer PCB
For recommended operating condition specifications of
the RT9053A, the maximum junction temperature is 125°C
and TA is the a mbient temperature. The junction to a mbient
thermal resista nce, θJA, is layout dependent. For WDFN-
6L 2x2 packages, the thermal resistance, θJA, is 165 °C/
W on a standard JEDEC 51-3 single-layer thermal test
board. For SOT-23-5 packages, the thermal resistance,
θJA, is 250°C/W on a sta ndard JEDEC 51-3 single-layer
thermal test board. The maximum power dissipation at
TA = 25°C ca n be calculated by the following formulas :
PD(MAX) = (125°C 25°C) / (165°C/W) = 0.606W for
W DF N-6L 2X2 package
PD(MAX) = (125°C 25°C) / (250°C/W) = 0.400W for
SOT-23-5 package
The thermal resistance θJA is determined by the package
architecture design and the PCB layout design. However,
the package architecture design had been already
designed. If possible, it's useful to increase thermal
performance by the PCB layout copper design. The thermal
resistance θJA can be decreased by adding copper area
under the exposed pad of WDFN series pa ckage.
As shown in Figure 2, we can find the relation between
the copper area and the thermal resistance θJA. The
thermal resistance will be reduced by adding more copper
area. When IC mounted to the standard footprint, the
thermal resistance θJA is 165°C/W. Adding copper area
of pad to 15mm2 under the package reduces the θJA to
150°C/W. Even further , increa sing the copper area of pad
to 70mm2 reduces the θJA to 130°C/W.
