Forcing the enable pin low disables the regulator and sends it into a “zero” off-mode- current state. In this state, current consumed by the regulator goes nearly to zero. Forcing the enable pin high enables the output voltage. This part is CMOS and the enable pin cannot be left floating; a floating enable pin may cause an indetermi- nate state on the output. Input Capacitor The MIC5255 is a high performance, high bandwidth device. Therefore, it requires a well-bypassed input supply for opti- mal performance. A 1 µF capacitor is required from the input to ground to provide stability. Low-ESR ceramic capacitors provide optimal performance at a minimum of space. Addi- tional high frequency capacitors, such as small valued NPO dielectric type capacitors, help filter out high frequency noise and are good practice in any RF-based circuit. Output Capacitor The MIC5255 requires an output capacitor for stability. The design requires 1 µF or greater on the output to maintain stability. The design is optimized for use with low-ESR ceramic chip capacitors. High ESR capacitors may cause high frequency oscillation. The maximum recommended ESR is 300m Ω. The output capacitor can be increased, but performance has been optimized for a 1 µF ceramic output capacitor and does not improve significantly with larger capacitance. X7R/X5R dielectric-type ceramic capacitors are recom- mended because of their temperature performance. X7R- type capacitors change capacitance by 15% over their oper- ating 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 capaci- tor with Y5V dielectric, the value must be much higher than an X7R ceramic capacitor to ensure the same minimum capaci- tance over the equivalent operating temperature range. Bypass Capacitor A capacitor can be placed from the noise bypass pin to ground to reduce output voltage noise. The capacitor by- passes the internal reference. A 0.01 µF capacitor is recom- mended for applications that require low-noise outputs. The bypass capacitor can be increased, further reducing noise and improving PSRR. Turn-on time increases slightly with respect to bypass capacitance. A unique quick-start circuit allows the MIC5255 to drive a large capacitor on the bypass pin without significantly slowing turn-on time. Refer to the “Typical Characteristics” section for performance with differ- ent bypass capacitors. Active Shutdown The MIC5255 also features an active shutdown clamp, which is an N-Channel MOSFET that turns on when the device is disabled. This allows the output capacitor and load to dis- charge, de-energizing the load. No-Load Stability The MIC5255 will remain stable and in regulation with no load unlike many other voltage regulators. This is especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive applications. Thermal Considerations The MIC5255 is designed to provide 150mA of continuous current in a very small package. Maximum power dissipation can be calculated based on the output current and the voltage drop across the part. To determine the maximum power dissipation of the package, use the junction-to-ambient ther- mal resistance of the device and the following basic equation: P (max) T (max) T D JA JA = − θ T J(max) is the maximum junction temperature of the die, 125 °C, and T A is the ambient operating temperature. θJA is layout dependent; Table 1 shows examples of junction-to- ambient thermal resistance for the MIC5255.

SOT-23-5 Thermal Resistance The actual power dissipation of the regulator circuit can be determined using the equation: P D = (VIN – VOUT) IOUT + VIN IGND Substituting P D(max) for PD and solving for the operating conditions that are critical to the application will give the maximum operating conditions for the regulator circuit. For example, when operating the MIC5255-3.0BM5 at 50 °C with a minimum footprint layout, the maximum input voltage for a set output current can be determined as follows: P (max) 125 C 50 C 235 C/W D = °− ° ° P D(max) = 315mW The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the minimum footprint is 235 °C/W, from Table 1. The maximum power dissipation must not be exceeded for proper operation. Using the output voltage of 3.0V and an output current of 150mA, the maximum input voltage can be determined. Because this device is CMOS and the ground current is typically 100 µA over the load range, the power dissipation contributed by the ground current is < 1% and can be ignored for this calculation: 315mW = (V IN – 3.0V) 150mA 315mW = V IN × 150mA – 450mW 810mW = V IN × 150mA V IN(max) = 5.4V Therefore, a 3.0V application at 150mA of output current can accept a maximum input voltage of 5.4V in a SOT-23-5 package.
