RT9172
3A Fixed Output Voltage LDO Regulator
General Description
The RT9172 series of low-dropout linear regulators operate from a +2.25V to +6.0V input supply. A wide range of preset output voltage options is available. These low dropout linear regulators respond very fast to step changes in load, which are suitable for low voltage microprocessor applications. The RT9172 uses an internal PMOS as the pass device, which does not cause extra GND current in heavy load and dropout condition. The shutdown mode of low operation current makes the IC suitable for power-saving systems. The other features include current limiting and over temperature protection.
Features

RT9172
Functional Description
Capacitor Selection
Preliminary
Dropout Voltage The dropout voltage of a regulator is defined as the minimum input-to-output differential required to stay within 2% of the output voltage. The RT9172 uses an internal MOS-FET with an RDS(ON) 160m. For CMOS LDOs, the dropout voltage is the product of the load current and the RDS(ON) of the internal MOSFET. Maximum Output Current Capability RT9172 can deliver a continuous current of 1.5 A over the full operating temperature range. A heatsink may be required depending on the maximum power dissipation and maximum ambient temperature of the application. Under all possible conditions, the junction temperature must be within the range specified under operating conditions. The total power dissipation of the device is given by: PD = (VIN - VOUT) IOUT+ (VIN) IGND where IGND is the operating ground current of the device (specified under Electrical Characteristics). The maximum allowable temperature rise (TRMAX) depends on the maximum ambient temperature (TAMAX) of the application, and the maximum allowable junction temperature (TJMAX): TRMAX = TJMAX - TAMAX The maximum allowable value for junction to ambient Thermal Resistance, JA = TRMAX - TAMAX The maximum allowable value for junction to ambient Thermal Resistance, JA, can be calculated using the formula: JA = TRMAX / PD RT9172 are available in TO-220, TO-263, and SOT223 packages. The thermal resistance depends in amount of copper area or heat sink, and on air flow. If the maximum allowable value of JA calculated above is 60 C/W for TO-220 package, 60 C/W for TO-263 package, and 140 can dissipate enough heat package, no heatsink is needed since the package to satisfy these requirements. If the value for allowable JA falls below these limits, a heat sink is required.
The RT9172 requires a minimum input capacitance of 1F between the input and ground pins to prevent any impedance interactions with the supply. The RT9172 requires a minimum of 10F (tantalum, or electrolytic) capacitance between the output and ground pins for proper operation, if used 10F ceromic please parrell with 100F tantalum or electrolytic. Larger capacitance provides better load dynamics and noise performance. Error Operation (FLG) The RT9172 produces a logic low signal at the FLG pin when the output drops out of regulation due to low input voltage, current limiting, or thermal limiting. The internal error FLG comparator has an open drain output stage. Hence, the FLG pin should be pulled high through a pull up resistor. Sense Pin In applications where the regulator output is not very close to the load, RT9172 can provide better remote load regulation using the SENSE pin. Fig.2 and Fig.3 depict the advantage of the SENSE option. RT9172 regulates the voltage at the output pin. Hence, the voltage at the remote load will be the regulator output voltage minus the drop across the trace resistance. For example, in the case of a 3.3V output, if the trace resistance is 100m, the voltage at the remote load will be 3V with 3A of load current, ILOAD. The RT9172 regulates the voltage at the sense pin. Connecting the sense pin to the remote load will provide regulation at the remote load, as shown in Fig.2 and Fig.3. Chip Enable Operation A CMOS logic level signal at the chip enable (EN) pin will turn-off the regulator. Pin EN must be actively terminated through a 10k pull-up resistor for a proper operation. If this pin is driven from a source that actively pulls high and low (such as a CMOS rail to rail comparator), the pull-up resistor is not required. This pin must be tied to VIN if not used.

Preliminary
Heatsinking TO-220Packages The thermal resistance of a TO-220 package can be reduced by attaching it to a heat sink or a copper plane on a PC board. If a copper plane is to be used, the values of JA will be same as shown in next section for TO-263 package. Heatsinking TO-263 and SOT-223 Packages The TO-263 and SOT-223 packages use the copper plane on the PCB as a heatsink. The tab of these packages are soldered to the copper plane for heat sinking. Fig.4 shows a curve for JA of TO-263 package for different copper area sizes, using a typical PCB with 1 ounce copper and no solder mask over the copper area for heat sinking.

As shown in the figure, increasing the copper area beyond improvement. The minimum value for JA for the TO263 package mounted to a PCB is 32C/W.
