Application Information Capacitor Selection and Regulator Stability Input Capacitor An input capacitance of 1µF is required between the device input pin and ground directly (the amount of the capacitance may be increased without limit). The input capacitor MUST be located less than 1 cm from the device to assure input stability (see PCB Layout Section). A lower ESR capacitor allows the use of less capacitance, while higher ESR type (like aluminum electrolytic) requires more capacitance. Capacitor types (aluminum, ceramic and tantalum) can be mixed in parallel, but the total equivalent input capacitance/esr must be defined as above for stable operation. There are no requirements for the ESR on the input capacitor, but tolerance and temperature coefficient must be considered when selecting the capacitor to ensure the capacitance is 1 µf over the entire operating range. Output Capacitor The is designed specifically to work with very small ceramic output capacitors. The minimum capacitance recommended (temperature characteristics of X7R, X5R, Z5U or Y5V) is within the 1µF to 10µF range with 5mΩ to 50mΩ ESR range ceramic capacitor between LDO output and GND for transient stability, but it may be increased without limit. Higher capacitance values help to improve transient response. The output capacitor's ESR is critical because it forms a zero to provide phase lead which is required for loop stability. Enable Function The is shut down by pulling the EN pin low, and turned on by driving the input high. If the shutdown feature is not required, the EN pin should be tied to VIN to keep the regulator on at all times (the EN pin MUST NOT be left floating). To assure proper operation, the signal source used to drive the EN pin must be able to swing above and below the specified turn-on/off voltage thresholds listed in the Electrical Characteristics under VIH and VIL. The ON/OFF signal may come from either CMOS output, or an open-collector output with pull-up resistor to the device input voltage or another logic supply. The highlevel voltage may exceed the device input voltage, but must remain within the absolute maximum ratings for the EN pin. Operating Region and Power Dissipation Since the is a linear regulator, its power dissipation is always given by P = I OUT (V IN V OUT ). The maximum power dissipation is given by: P D(MAX) = (T J T A ) /θ JA,=(125 C -25 C)/250 C /W = 400mW Where (T J T A ) is the temperature difference the die and the ambient air, θ JA, is the thermal resistance of the chosen package to the ambient air. For surface mount device, heat sinking is accomplished by using the heat spreading capabilities of the PC board and its copper traces. In the case of a SOT-23-5 package, the thermal resistance is typically 250 C /Watt. Refer to Figure 1 & 2 for the valid operating region (Safe Operating Area) and refer to Figure 3 for maximum power dissipation information of SOT-23-5. The die attachment area of the lead frame is connected to pin 2, which is the GND pin. Therefore, the GND pin of can dissipate the heat from the die very effectively. To improve the maximum power providing capability, connect the GND pin to ground using a large ground plane near the GND pin. Apr. 2009 8 Rev 0.2
