USER MANUAL MIC5370 Microchip
The MIC5370/1 is an advanced dual LDO ideal for powering general purpose portable devices. The MIC5370/1 provides two independently-controlled, high-performance 150mA LDOs in a tiny 1.6mm x 1.6mm Thin MLF® package.
Ideal for battery-powered applications, the MIC5370/1 offers 2% initial accuracy, low dropout voltage (155mV @ 150mA) and low ground current (typically 32μA per LDO). The MIC5370/1 can also be put into a zero-off-mode current state, drawing virtually no current when disabled.
When the MIC5371 is disabled an internal resistive load is automatically applied to the output to discharge the output capacitor. This LDO offers fast transient response and high PSRR while consuming a minimum operating current.
The MIC5370/1 is available in fixed output voltages in a lead-free (RoHS-compliant) 6-pin 1.6mm x 1.6mm Thin MLF® package.
Data sheets and support documentation can be found on Micrel's web site at: www.micrel.com.

Notes:
- Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
- The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
- The maximum allowable power dissipation of any T_A (ambient temperature) is P_D() = (T_J() - T_A) / _JA . Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown.
- Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended. Human body model, 1.5kΩ in series with 100pF.
- Specification for packaged product only.

MIC5370/1 is a dual 150mA LDO in a small 1.6mm x 1.6mm package.. The MIC5371 includes an auto-discharge circuit for each of the LDO outputs that are activated when the output is disabled. The MIC5370/1 regulator is fully protected from damage due to fault conditions through linear current limiting and thermal shutdown.
Input Capacitor
The MIC5370/1 is a high-performance, high bandwidth device. An input capacitor of 1 F capacitor is required from the input to ground to provide stability. Low-ESR ceramic capacitors provide optimal performance at a minimum of space. Additional 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. X5R or X7R dielectrics are recommended for the input capacitor. Y5V dielectrics lose most of their capacitance over temperature and are therefore, not recommended.
Output Capacitor
The MIC5370/1 requires an output capacitor of 1 F or greater to maintain stability. The design is optimized for use with low-ESR ceramic chip capacitors. High ESR capacitors may cause high frequency oscillation. The output capacitor can be increased, but performance has been optimized for a 1 F ceramic output capacitor and does not improve significantly with larger capacitance.
X7R/X5R dielectric-type ceramic capacitors are recommended because of their temperature performance. X7R-type capacitors change capacitance by 15% 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 50% and 60%, respectively, over their operating temperature ranges. To use a ceramic chip capacitor with Y5V dielectric, the value must be much higher than an X7R ceramic capacitor to ensure the same minimum capacitance over the equivalent operating temperature range.
No-Load Stability
Unlike many other voltage regulators, the MIC5370/1 will remain stable and in regulation with no load. This is especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive applications.
Enable/Shutdown
The MIC5370/1 comes with two active-high enable pins that allow each regulator to be disabled independently. 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. When disabled the MIC5371 switches a 30Ω (typical) load on the regulator output to discharge the external capacitor.
Forcing the enable pin high enables the output voltage. The active-high enable pin uses CMOS technology and the enable pin cannot be left floating; a floating enable pin may cause an indeterminate state on the output..
Thermal Considerations
The MIC5370/1 is designed to provide 150mA of continuous current for both outputs in a very small package. Maximum ambient operating temperature can be calculated based on the output current and the voltage drop across the part. For example if the input voltage is 3.6V, the output voltage is 2.8V for V_OUT1 , 1.8V for V_OUT2 and the output current = 150mA. The actual power dissipation of the regulator circuit can be determined using the equation:
$$ P _ {D} = \left(V _ {\text {IN}} - V _ {\text {OUT1}}\right) I _ {\text {OUT1}} + \left(V _ {\text {IN}} - V _ {\text {OUT2}}\right) I _ {\text {OUT2}} + V _ {\text {IN}} I _ {\text {GND}} $$
Because this device is CMOS and the ground current is typically <100 A over the load range, the power dissipation contributed by the ground current is <1% and can be ignored for this calculation:
$$ \begin{array}{r l} P _ {D} & = (3. 6 \mathrm{V} - 2. 8 \mathrm{V}) \times 1 5 0 \mathrm{mA} + (3. 6 \mathrm{V} - 1. 8) \times 1 5 0 \mathrm{mA} \ P _ {D} & = 0. 3 9 \mathrm{W} \end{array} $$
To determine the maximum ambient operating temperature of the package, use the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the device and the following basic equation:
$$ P _ {D (M A X)} = \left(\frac {T - T _ {A J (M A X)}}{\theta_ {J A}}\right) $$
T_J(max) = 125^ , and the maximum junction temperature of the die, _JA , thermal resistance = 90°C/W.
Substituting P_D for P_D(max) and solving for the ambient operating temperature will give the maximum operating conditions for the regulator circuit. The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the minimum footprint is 90°C/W.
The maximum power dissipation must not be exceeded for proper operation.
For example, when operating the MIC5370-MGYMT at an input voltage of 3.6V and 150mA loads at each output with a minimum footprint layout, the maximum ambient operating temperature T_A can be determined as follows:
$$ 0. 3 9 \mathrm{W} = (1 2 5 ^ {\circ} \mathrm{C} - \mathrm{T} _ {\mathrm{A}}) / (9 0 ^ {\circ} \mathrm{C} / \mathrm{W}) $$
$$ T _ {A} = 8 9. 9 ^ {\circ} C $$
Therefore, a 2.8V/1.8V application with 150mA at each output current can accept an ambient operating temperature of 89.9°C in a 1.6mm x 1.6mm MLF® package.
