MIC5203 Cap 80mA Low-Dropout Regulator General Description Features The MIC5203 is a Cap 80mA linear voltage regulator with very low dropout voltage (typically 20mV at light loads and 300mV at 80mA) and very low ground current (225A at 20mA output), offering better than 3% initial accuracy with a logic-compatible enable input. TheCap regulator design is optimized to work with lowvalue, low-cost ceramic capacitors. The outputs typically require only 0.47F of output capacitance for stability. Designed especially for hand-held, battery-powered devices, the MIC5203 can be controlled by a CMOS or TTL compatible logic signal. When disabled, power consumption drops nearly to zero. If on-off control is not required, the enable pin may be tied to the input for 3terminal operation. The ground current of the MIC5203 increases only slightly in dropout, further prolonging battery life. Key MIC5203 features include current limiting, overtemperature shutdown, and protection against reversed battery. The MIC5203 is available in 2.8V, 3.0V, 3.3V, 3.6V, 3.8V, 4.0V, 4.5V, 4.75V, and 5.0V fixed voltages. Other voltages are available.

Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device. 2. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating. 3. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any TA (ambient temperature) is PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) - TA) / JA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. The JA is 250C/W for the SOT-143 and 220C/W for the SOT-23-5 mounted on a printed circuit board. 4. Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst-case voltage change divided by the total temperature range. 5. Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Parts are tested for load regulation in the load range from 0.1mA to 150mA. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered by the thermal regulation specification. 6. Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to-output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal value measured at 1V differential. 7. Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current plus pass transistor base current. The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of the load current plus the ground pin current. 8. Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time "t" after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load or line regulation effects. Specifications are for a 150mA load pulse at VIN = 16V for t = 10ms. November 2009 5 M9999-111909 Micrel, Inc.

MIC5203 Applications Information Input Capacitor A 0.1F capacitor should be placed from IN to GND if there is more than 10 inches of wire between the input and the AC filter capacitor or when a battery is used as the input. No-Load Stability The MIC5203 will remain stable and in regulation with no load (other than the internal voltage divider) unlike many other voltage regulators. This is especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive applications. Output Capacitor Typical PNP based regulators require an output capacitor to prevent oscillation. The MIC5203 is ultrastable, requiring only 0.47F of output capacitance for stability. The regulator is stable with all types of capacitors, including the tiny, low-ESR ceramic chip capacitors. The output capacitor value can be increased without limit to improve transient response. The capacitor should have a resonant frequency above 500kHz. Ceramic capacitors work, but some dielectrics have poor temperature coefficients, which will affect the value of the output capacitor over temperature. Tantalum capacitors are much more stable over temperature, but typically are larger and more expensive. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors will also work, but they have electrolytes that freeze at about -30C. Tantalum or ceramic capacitors are recommended for operation below -25C. Enable Input The MIC5203 features nearly zero off-mode current. When EN (enable input) is held below 0.6V, all internal circuitry is powered off. Pulling EN high (over 2.0V) reenables the device and allows operation. EN draws a small amount of current, typically 15A. While the logic threshold is TTL/CMOS compatible, EN may be pulled as high as 20V, independent of VIN. November 2009 8 M9999-111909 Micrel, Inc.
