Application Information Enable/Shutdown The MIC535 comes with an active-high enable pin that allows the regulator to be disabled. 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. Input Capacitor The MIC535 has high input voltage capability up to 4V. The input capacitor must be rated to sustain voltages that may be used on the input. An input capacitor may be required when the device is not near the source power supply or when supplied by a battery. Small, surface mount, ceramic capacitors can be used for bypassing. Larger values may be required if the source supply has high ripple. Output Capacitor The MIC535 requires an output capacitor for stability. The design requires.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 3Ω. The output capacitor can be increased without limit. Larger valued capacitors help to improve transient response. X7R/X5R dielectric-type ceramic capacitors are recommended because of their temperature performance. X7R-type capacitors change capacitance by 5% 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 5% and 6% respectively over their operating temperature ranges. To use a ceramic chip capacitor with Y5V dielectric, the value must be much higher than a X7R ceramic capacitor to ensure the same minimum capacitance over the equivalent operating temperature range. No-Load Stability The MIC535 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 MIC535 is designed to provide 5mA 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 thermal resistance of the device and the following basic equation: P D(MAX) T = J(MAX) θ JA T A MIC535 T J(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature of the die, 5 C, and T A is the ambient operating temperature. θ JA is layout dependent; Table shows examples of the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the MIC535. Package θ JA Recommended Minimum Footprint SOT-3-5 35 C Table. SOT-3-5 Thermal Resistance The actual power dissipation of the regulator circuit can be determined using the equation: P D = (V IN V OUT )I OUT + V IN I Substituting P D(MAX) for P D 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 MIC535-3.BM5 at 5 C with a minimum footprint layout, the maximum input voltage for a set output current can be determined as follows: 5 C 5 C P D(MAX) = 35 C/W P D(MAX) = 39mW The junction-to-ambient (θ JA ) thermal resistance for the minimum footprint is 35 C/W, from Table. It is important that the maximum power dissipation not be exceeded to ensure proper operation. Since the MIC535 was designed to operate with high input voltages, careful consideration must be given so as not to overheat the device. With very high input-to-output voltage differentials, the output current is limited by the total power dissipation. Total power dissipation is calculated using the following equation: P D = (V IN V OUT )I OUT + V IN I Due to the potential for input voltages up to 4V, ground current must be taken into consideration. If we know the maximum load current, we can solve for the maximum input voltage using the maximum power dissipation calculated for a 5 C ambient, 39. P D(MAX) = (V IN V OUT )I OUT + V IN x I 39mW = (V IN 3V)5mA + V IN x.8ma Ground pin current is estimated using the typical characteristics of the device. 769mW = V IN (5.8mA) V IN = 5.3V For higher current outputs only a lower input voltage will work for higher ambient temperatures. Assuming a lower output current of ma, the maximum input voltage can be recalculated: May 8 7 M9999-558
39mW = (V IN 3V)mA + V IN x.ma 379mW = V IN x.ma V IN = 8.8V Maximum input voltage for a ma load current at 5 C ambient temperature is 8.8V, utilizing virtually the entire operating voltage range of the device. Adjustable Regulator Application The MIC535BM5 can be adjusted from.4v to V by using two external resistors (Figure ). The resistors set the output voltage based on the following equation: V OUT = V REF R + R MIC535 Where V REF =.4V. Feedback resistor R should be no larger than 3kΩ. V IN MIC535BM5 IN OUT.µF ADJ.
