January 2003 5 MIC37252 MIC37252 Micrel Output Capacitor The MIC37252 requires an output capacitor for stable operation. As a Cap LDO, the MIC37252 can operate with ceramic output capacitors as long as the amount of capacitance is 47F or greater. For values of output capacitance lower than 47F, the recommended ESR range is 200m to 2. The minimum value of output capacitance recommended for the MIC37252 is 10F. For 47F or greater the ESR range recommended is less than 1. Ultra-low ESR, ceramic capacitors are recommended for output capacitance of 47F or greater to help improve transient response and noise reduction at high frequency. 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 and are 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. The MIC37252 has excellent transient response to variations in input voltage and load current. The device has been designed to respond quickly to load current variations and input voltage variations. Large output capacitors are not required to obtain this performance. A standard 47F output capacitor is all that is required. Larger values help to improve performance even further. Input Capacitor An input capacitor of 1.0F or greater is recommended when the device is more than 4 inches away from the bulk supply capacitance, or when the supply is a battery. Small, surfacemount chip capacitors can be used for the bypassing. The capacitor should be place within 1" of the device for optimal performance. Larger values will help to improve ripple rejection by bypassing the input to the regulator, further improving the integrity of the output voltage. Transient Response and 5V to 3.3V or 3.3V to 1.8V Conversions The MIC37252 has excellent transient response to variations in input voltage and load current. The device has been designed to respond quickly to load current variations and input voltage variations. Large output capacitors are not required to obtain this performance. A standard 10F output capacitor, preferably tantalum, is all that is required. Larger values help to improve performance even further. By virtue of its low-dropout voltage, this device does not saturate into dropout as readily as similar NPN-based designs. When converting from 3.3V to 1.8V, the NPN-based regulators are already operating in dropout, with typical dropout requirements of 2V or greater. To convert down to 1.8V without operating in dropout, NPN-based regulators require an input voltage of 3.8V at the very least. The MIC37252 regulator will provide excellent performance with an input as low as 3.0V. This gives the PNP-based regulators a distinct advantage over older NPN-based linear regulators. Applications Information The MIC37252 is a high-performance low-dropout voltage regulator suitable for moderate to high-current regulator applications. Its 550mV dropout voltage at full load makes it especially valuable in battery-powered systems and as highefficiency noise filters in post-regulator applications. Unlike older NPN-pass transistor designs, where the minimum dropout voltage is limited by the base-to-emitter voltage drop and collector-to-emitter saturation voltage, dropout performance of the PNP output of these devices is limited only by the low VCE saturation voltage. A trade-off for the low dropout voltage is a varying base drive requirement. Micrel's Super eta PNP process reduces this drive requirement to only 2% to 5% of the load current. The MIC37252 regulator is fully protected from damage due to fault conditions. Current limiting is provided. This limiting is linear; output current during overload conditions is constant. 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 spikes above and below nominal. The output structure of these regulators allows voltages in excess of the desired output voltage to be applied without reverse current flow. 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) * Ground current (IGND) First, calculate the power dissipation of the regulator from these numbers and the device parameters from this datasheet. PD = (VIN - VOUT) IOUT + VIN IGND where the ground current is approximated by using numbers from the "Electrical Characteristics" or "Typical Characteristics." Then the heat sink thermal resistance is determined with this formula: SA = ((TJ(MAX) - TA)/ PD) - (JC + CS) Where TJ(MAX) < 125oC and CS is between 0oC and 2oC/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 Micrel Super eta PNP regulators allow significant reductions in regulator power dissipation and the associated heat sink without compromising performance. When this technique is employed, a capacitor of at least 1.0F is needed directly between the input and regulator ground. Refer to Application Note 9 for further details and examples on thermal design and heat sink applications. MIC37252 6 January 2003 MIC37252 Minimum Load Current The MIC37252 regulator is specified between finite loads. If the output current is too small, leakage currents dominate and the output voltage rises. A 10mA minimum load current is necessary for proper operation. Enable Input The MIC37252 also features an enable input for on/off control of the device. Its shutdown state draws "zero" current (only microamperes of leakage). The enable input is TTL/CMOS compatible for simple logic interface, but can be connected to up to VIN. When enabled, it draws approximately 15A. Adjustable Regulator Design MIC37252 OUT R1 ENABLE SHUTDOWN Micrel The MIC37252 allows programming of the output voltage anywhere between 1.24V and the 5.5V maximum operating rating of the family. Two resistors are used. Resistors values are recommended to be less than 10k in value to improve stability. The resistor values can be sized to draw the minimum load current for this device. The resistor values are calculated by: V R1 = R2 OUT - 1 1.240 Where VOUT is the desired output voltage. Figure 2 shows component definition. Applications with widely varying load currents may scale the resistors to draw the minimum load current required for proper operation (see above).
