MIC39300/39301/39302 October 2009 10 M9999-102309-A Application Information The MIC39300/1/2 are high-performance, low-dropout voltage regulators suitable for moderate to high-current voltage regulator applications. Its 550mV dropout voltage at full load makes it especially valuable in battery-powered systems and as a high-efficiency noise filter 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 βeta PNP ® process reduces this drive requirement to only 2% to 5% of the load current. The MIC39300/1/2 regulators are 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 four application- specific parameters: • Maximum ambient temperature (TA) • Output Current (IOUT) • Output Voltage (VOUT) • Input Voltage (VIN) • Ground Current (IGND) Calculate the power dissipation of the regulator from these numbers and the device parameters from this datasheet, where the ground current is taken from the data sheet. PD = (VIN – VOUT) IOUT + VIN × IGND The heat sink thermal resistance is determined by: () CS JC D A (max) J SA P T T θ + θ − − = θ where TJ(max) ≤ 125°C and θCS is between 0° and 2°C/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 βeta 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 1.0μF 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 specification. Figure 1. Capacitor Requirements Output Capacitor The MIC39300/1/2 requires an output capacitor to maintain stability and improve transient response. Proper capacitor selection is important to ensure proper operation. The MIC39300/1/2 output capacitor selection is dependent upon the ESR (equivalent series resistance) of the output capacitor to maintain stability. When the output capacitor is 47μF or greater, the output capacitor should have less than 1Ω of ESR. This will improve transient response as well as promote stability. Ultralow ESR capacitors, such as ceramic chip capacitors may promote instability. These very low ESR levels may cause an oscillation and/or underdamped transient response. A low-ESR solid tantalum capacitor works extremely well and provides good transient response and stability over temperature. Aluminum electrolytics can also be used, as long as the ESR of the capacitor is < 1Ω. The value of the output capacitor can be increased without limit. Higher capacitance values help to improve transient response and ripple rejection and reduce output noise. Input Capacitor An input capacitor of 1μF 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 the bypassing. Larger values will help to improve ripple rejection by bypassing the input to the regulator, further improving the integrity of the output voltage. |
