micrel, inc. MIC35302 october 2009 6 m9999-102309-a functional description the MIC35302 is a high-performance low-dropout voltage regulator suitable for moderate to high-current regulator applications. its 600mv dropout voltage at full load and over-temperature makes it especially valuable in battery-powered systems and as high-efficiency noise lters in post-regulator applications. unlike older npn- pass transistor designs, there the minimum dropout voltage is limited by the based-to-emitter voltage drop and collector-to-emitter saturation voltage, dropout performance of the pnp out put of these devices is limited only by the low v ce 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 MIC35302 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 ow. thermal design linear regulators are simple to use. the most complicated design parameters to consider are thermal characteristics. thermal design requires the following application-speci c parameters: ? maximum ambient temperature (t a ) ? output current (i out ) ? output voltage (v out ) ? input voltage (v in ) ? ground current (i gnd ) first, calculate the power dissipation of the regulator from these numbers and the device parameters from this datasheet. p d = (v in ? v out ) i out + v in i gnd (1) 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 = ((t j(max) ? t a )/ p d ) ? ( jc + cs ) (2) where t j(max) 125c and cs is between 0c and 2c/w. the heat sink may be signi cantly 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 signi cant 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. with no heat sink in the application, calculate the junction temperature to determine the maximum power dissipation that will be a llowed before exceeding the maximum junction temperature of the MIC35302. the maximum power allowed can be calculated using the thermal resistance ( ja ) of the d-pak adhering to the following criteria for the pcb design: 2 oz. copper and 100mm 2 copper area for the MIC35302. as an example, given an expected maximum ambient temperature (t a ) of 75 c with v in = 2.25v, v out = 1.75v, and i out = 2.5a, first calculate the expected p d using equation (1); p d = (2.25v ? 1.75v)2.5a + (2.25v)(0.027a) = 1.31w next, calcualte the junction temperature for the expected power dissipation. t j =( ja p d )+t a =(56 c/w1.31w)+75 c=148.4 c now determine the maximum power dissipation allowed that would not exceed the ic?s maximum junction temperature (125 c) without the use of a heat sink by p d(max) =(t j(max) ?t a )/ ja =(125 c?75 c)/(56 c/w)=0.893w output capacitor the MIC35302 requires an output capacitor for stable operation. as a cap ldo, the MIC35302 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 MIC35302 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.
micrel, inc. MIC35302 october 2009 7 m9999-102309-a input capacitor an input capacitor of 1.0f or greater is recommended when the device is more than 4 inches away from the bulk and supply capacitance, or when the supply is a battery. small, surface-mount 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 3.3v to 2.5v, 2.5v to 1.8v or 1.65v, or 2.5v to 1.5v conversions the MIC35302 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 tantalum 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, 2.5v to 1.8v or 1.65v, or 2.5v to 1.5v, the npn-based regulators are already operating in dropout, with typical dropout requirements of 1.2v or greater. to convert down to 2.5v without operating in dropout, npn-based regulators require an input vo ltage of 3.7v at the very least. the MIC35302 regulator will provide excellent performance with an input as low as 3.0v or 2.25v, respectively. this gives the pnp-based regulators a distinct advantage over older, npn-based linear regulators. minimum load current the MIC35302 regulator is speci ed between nite 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 MIC35302 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 v in . when enabled, it draws approximately 15a. adjustable regulator design figure 1. adjustable regulator with resistors the MIC35302 allows programming the output voltage anywhere between 1.24v and 5.4v. two resistors are used. the resistor values are calculated by: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? = 1 1.240 v r2 r1 out where v out is the desired output voltage. figure 1 shows component de nition. applications with widely varying load currents may scale the resistors to draw the minimum load current required for proper operation (see minimum load current section).
