500mA CMOS LDO
Regulator
CYT6118
Application Hints
Like any Low dropout regulator,
CYT6118 requires
external capacitors to ensure stability. The external
capacitors must be carefully selected to ensure the
performances.
Input Capacitor:
An Input Capacitor of at least 10uF is required.
Ceramic or Tantalum can be used. The value can
be increased without upper limit.
Output Capacitor:
An Output Capacitor is required for look stability. It
must be located no more than 1cm away from the
VOUT pin, and connected directly between VOUT and
GND pins. The minimum value is 10uF but once
again its value can be increased without limit.
Thermal Consideration
It is important that the thermal limit of the package
should not be exceeded. The
CYT6118 has built-in
thermal protection. When the thermal limit is
exceeded, the IC will enter protection, and the VOUT
will be reset to zero. The power dissipation for a
given application can be calculated as follows:
The Power Dissipation (PD) is
PD = IOUT * [VIN – VOUT]
The thermal limit of the package is then limited to
PD(MAX) = [TJ – TA]/θJA where TJ is the junction
temperature, TA is ambient temperature, and θJA is
around 120°C/W for
CYT6118. CYT6118 is designed
to enter thermal protection at 150°C. For example, if
TA is 25°C then the max PD is limited to about 1W.
In other words, if IOUT(MAX) = 500mA, then [VIN –
VOUT] can not exceed 2.1V.
