Description
The SC4216 is a high performance positive voltage regulator designed for use in applications requiring very low input voltage and very low dropout voltage at up to 3 amperes. It operates with a Vin as low as 1.45V, with output voltage programmable as low as 0.5V. The SC4216 features ultra low dropout, ideal for applications where Vout is very close to Vin. Additionally, the SC4216 has an enable pin to further reduce power dissipation while shut- down. The SC4216 provides excellent regulation over variations in line, load and temperature. The SC4216 is available in the SOIC-8-EDP (Exposed Die Pad) package. The output voltage can be set via an external divider or to xed settings of 0.5V and 1.2V depending on how the FB pin is con gured.

Pin Function
Enable Input. Pulling this pin below 0.4V turns the regulator o , reducing the quiescent current to a fraction of its operating value. The device will be enabled if this pin is left open. Connect to VIN if not being used. Input voltage. For regulation at full load, the input to this pin must be between (VO+ 0.5V) and 5.5V. Minimum VIN = 1.45V. A large bulk capacitance should be placed closely to this pin to ensure that the input supply does not sag below 1.4V. Also a minimum of 4.7uF ceramic capacitor should be placed directly at this pin. The pin is the power output of the device. A minimum of 10uF capacitor should be placed directly at this pin. When this pin is grounded, an internal resistor divider sets the output voltage to 1.2V. If connected to the Vo pin, the output voltage will be set at 0.5V. If external feedback resistors are used, the output voltage will be determined by the resistor ratio (See Application Circuits on page 1): Reference ground. The GND pin and the exposed die pad must be connected together at the IC pin. No Connection. Pad for heatsinking purposes. Connect to ground plane using multiple vias.

Applications Information (continued)
Introduction The SC4216 is intended for applications where high current capability and very low dropout voltage are required. It provides a very simple, low cost solution that uses very little PCB real estate. Additional features include an enable pin to allow for a very low power consumption standby mode, and a fully adjustable output. Component Selection Input capacitor: A large bulk capacitance 10F/A (output load) should be closely placed to the input supply pin of the SC4216 to ensure that Vin does not sag below 1.45V. Also a minimum of 4.7F ceramic capacitor is recommended to be placed directly next to the Vin pin. This allows for the device being some distance from any bulk capacitance on the rail. Additionally, input droop due to load transients is reduced, improving load transient response. Additional capacitance may be added if required by the application. Output capacitor: A minimum bulk capacitance of 10F/A (output load), along with a 0.1F ceramic decoupling capacitor is recommended. Increasing the bulk capacitance will improve the overall transient response. The use of multiple lower value ceramic capacitors in parallel to achieve the desired bulk capacitance will not cause stability issues. Although designed for use with ceramic output capacitors, the SC4216 is extremely tolerant of output capacitor ESR values and thus will also work comfortably with tantalum output capacitors. Noise immunity: In very electrically noisy environments, it is recommended that 0.1F ceramic capacitors be placed from IN to GND and OUT to GND as close to the device pins as possible. Internal voltage selection: By connecting the FB pin to GND, an internal resistor divider will regulate the output voltage to 1.2V. If the FB pin is connected directly to the VO pin, the output voltage will be regulated to the 0.5V internal reference. External voltage selection resistors: The use of 1% resistors, and designing for a current ow 10A is recommended to ensure a well regulated output (thus R2 50k). A suitable value for R2 can be chosen in the range of 1k to 50k. R1 can then be calculated from.
R1 = R 2
(VO - VREF )
VREF
The highest output voltage achievable with external resistors is 4V. An attempt to set a higher voltage may result in VFB(TH) not being exceeded which will force the device into the 1.2V output mode. The SC4216H does not have this limitation and is recommended for applications requiring VO above 3.8V. Enable: Pulling this pin below 0.4V turns the regulator o , reducing the quiescent current to a fraction of its operating value. A pull up resistor up to 400kOhms should be connected from this pin to the VIN pin in applications where supply voltages of Vin < 1.9V are required. For applications with higher voltages than 1.9V, EN pin could be left open or connected to VIN. Thermal Considerations The power dissipation in the SC4216 is given by:
PD IO (VIN - VO )
The allowable power dissipation will be dependant on the thermal impedance achieved in the application. The derating curve below is valid for the thermal impedance specied in the Thermal Information section on page 3.
