MIC37100/37101/37102
1A Low-Voltage Cap LDO Regulator
General Description
The MIC37100, MIC37101, and MIC37102 are 1A lowdropout, linear voltage regulators that provide low-voltage, high-current output from an extremely small package. Utilizing Micrel's proprietary Super eta PNPTM pass element, the MIC37100/01/02 offers extremely low dropout (typically 280mV at 1A) and low ground current (typically 11mA at 1A). The MIC37100 is a fixed output regulator offered in the SOT-223 package. The MIC37101 and MIC37102 are fixed and adjustable regulators, respectively, in a thermally enhanced power 8-lead SOIC (small outline package) and the SOT-223 package. The MIC37102 is also available in the SPAK power package, for applications that require higher power dissipation or higher operating ambient temperatures. The MIC37100/01/02 is ideal for PC add-in cards that need to convert from standard 5V to 3.3V, 3.3V to 2.5V or 2.5V to 1.8V or lower. A guaranteed maximum dropout voltage of 500mV over all operating conditions allows the MIC37100/01/02 to provide 2.5V from a supply as low as 3V and 1.8V from a supply as low as 2.3V. The MIC37100/01/02 is fully protected with overcurrent limiting and thermal shutdown. Fixed output voltages of 1.5V, 1.65V, 1.8V, 2.5V and 3.3V are available on MIC37100/01 with adjustable output voltages to 1.24V on MIC37102.

Input Capacitor An input capacitor of 1F or greater is recommended when the device is more than 4 inches away from the bulk ac supply capacitance or when the supply is a battery. Small, surface mount, ceramic chip capacitors can be used for bypassing. Larger values will help to improve ripple rejection by bypassing the input to the regulator, further improving the integrity of the output voltage. Error Flag The MIC37101 features an error flag (FLG), which monitors the output voltage and signals an error condition when this voltage drops 5% below its expected value. The error flag is an open-collector output that pulls low under fault conditions and may sink up to 10mA. Low output voltage signifies a number of possible problems, including an overcurrent fault (the device is in current limit) or low input voltage. The flag output is inoperative during overtemperature conditions. A pull-up resistor from FLG to either VIN or VOUT is required for proper operation. For information regarding the minimum and maximum values of pull-up resistance, refer to the graph in the "Typical Characteristics" section of the data sheet. Enable Input The MIC37101 and MIC37102 versions feature an activehigh enable input (EN) that allows on-off control of the regulator. Current drain reduces to "zero" when the device is shutdown, with only microamperes of leakage current. The EN input has TTL/CMOS compatible thresholds for simple logic interfacing. EN may be directly tied to VIN and pulled up to the maximum supply voltage Transient Response and 3.3V to 2.5V or 2.5V to 1.8V, 1.65V or 1.5V Conversion The MIC37100/01/02 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, 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 2.5V or 2.5V to 1.8V, or lower, the NPN based regulators are already operating in dropout, with typical dropout requirements of 1.2V or greater. To convert down to 2.5V or 1.8V without operating in dropout, NPN-based regulators require an input voltage of 3.7V at the very least. The MIC37100 regulator will provide excellent performance with an input as low as 3.0V or 2.5V respectively. This gives the PNP based regulators a distinct advantage over older, NPN based linear regulators.
Applications Information
The MIC37100/01/02 is a high-performance low-dropout voltage regulator suitable for moderate to high-current voltage regulator applications. Its 500mV dropout voltage at full load and overtemperature makes it especially valuable in battery-powered systems and as high-efficiency 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 PNPTM process reduces this drive requirement to only 2% of the load current. The MIC37100/01/02 regulator is fully protected from damage due to fault conditions. Linear current limiting is provided. Output current during overload conditions is constant. Thermal shutdown disables the device when the die temperature exceeds the maximum safe operating temperature. The output structure of these regulators allows voltages in excess of the desired output voltage to be applied without reverse current flow.

Figure 1. Capacitor Requirements Output Capacitor The MIC37100/01/02 requires an output capacitor to maintain stability and improve transient response. As a Cap LDO, the MIC37100/01/02 can operate with ceramic output capacitors as long as the amount of capacitance is 10F or greater. For values of output capacitance lower than 10F, the recommended ESR range is 200m to 2. The minimum value of output capacitance recommended for the MIC37100/ 01/02 is 4.7F. For 10F or greater the ESR range recommended is less than 1. Ultra-low ESR ceramic capacitors are recommended for output capacitance of 10F 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. X7Rtype 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.

Figure 2. Adjustable Regulator with Resistors The MIC37102 allows programming the output voltage anywhere between 1.24V and the 6V maximum operating rating of the family. Two resistors are used. Resistors can be quite large, up to 1M, because of the very high input impedance and low bias current of the sense comparator: The resistor values are calculated by:

Figure 3. Thermal Resistance Using the power SOIC-8 reduces the JC dramatically and allows the user to reduce CA. The total thermal resistance, JA (junction-to-ambient thermal resistance) is the limiting factor in calculating the maximum power dissipation capability of the device. Typically, the power SOIC-8 has a JC of 20C/W, this is significantly lower than the standard SOIC-8 which is typically 75C/W. CA is reduced because pins 5 through 8 can now be soldered directly to a ground plane which significantly reduces the case-to-sink thermal resistance and sink to ambient thermal resistance. Low-dropout linear regulators from Micrel are rated to a maximum junction temperature of 125C. It is important not to exceed this maximum junction temperature during operation of the device. To prevent this maximum junction temperature from being exceeded, the appropriate ground plane heat sink must be used.
Where VO 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). Power SOIC-8 Thermal Characteristics One of the secrets of the MIC37101/02's performance is its power SO-8 package featuring half the thermal resistance of a standard SO-8 package. Lower thermal resistance means more output current or higher input voltage for a given package size. Lower thermal resistance is achieved by joining the four ground leads with the die attach paddle to create a singlepiece electrical and thermal conductor. This concept has

Using Figure 4, the minimum amount of required copper can be determined based on the required power dissipation. Power dissipation in a linear regulator is calculated as follows: PD = (VIN - VOUT) IOUT + VIN x IGND If we use a 2.5V output device and a 3.3V input at an output current of 1A, then our power dissipation is as follows: PD = (3.3V - 2.5V) x 1A + 3.3V x 11mA PD = 800mW + 36mW PD = 836mW From Figure 4, the minimum amount of copper required to operate this application at a T of 75C is 160mm2. Quick Method Determine the power dissipation requirements for the design along with the maximum ambient temperature at which the device will be operated. Refer to Figure 5, which shows safe operating curves for three different ambient temperatures: 25C, 50C and 85C. From these curves, the minimum amount of copper can be determined by knowing the maximum power dissipation required. If the maximum ambient temperature is 50C and the power dissipation is as above, 836mW, the curve in Figure 5 shows that the required area of copper is 160mm2. The JA of this package is ideally 63C/W, but it will vary depending upon the availability of copper ground plane to which it is attached.

Figure 4. Copper Area vs. Power SO-8 Power Dissipation Figure 4 shows copper area versus power dissipation with each trace corresponding to a different temperature rise above ambient. From these curves, the minimum area of copper necessary for the part to operate safely can be determined. The maximum allowable temperature rise must be calculated to determine operation along which curve. T = TJ(max) - TA(max) TJ(max) = 125C TA(max) = maximum ambient operating temperature For example, the maximum ambient temperature is 50C, the T is determined as follows: T = 125C - 50C T = 75C
