MIC29510/29512
5A Fast-Response LDO Regulator
Preliminary Information
General Description
The MIC29510/2 is available in two versions: the three pin fixed output MIC29510 and the five pin adjustable output voltage MIC29512. All versions are fully protected against overcurrent faults, reversed input polarity, reversed lead insertion, overtemperature operation, and positive and nega­tive transient voltage spikes.
A TTL compatible enable (EN) control pin supports external on/off control. If on/off control is not required, the device may be continuously enabled by connecting EN to IN.
The MIC29510/2 is available in the standard three and five pin TO-220 package with an operating junction temperature range of 0°C to +125°C.
For applications requiring even lower dropout voltage, input voltage greater than 16V, or an error flag, see the MIC29500/ 29501/29502/29503.

Applications Information
A trade-off for the low dropout voltage is a varying base drive requirement. But Micrel’s Super ßeta PNP™ process re­duces this drive requirement to merely 2 to 5% of the load current.
MIC29510/512 regulators are fully protected from damage due to fault conditions. Current limiting is provided. This limiting is linear; output current under overload conditions is constant. Thermal shutdown disables the device when the die temperature exceeds the maximum safe operating tem­perature. Transient protection allows device (and load) sur­vival even when the input voltage spike above and below nominal. The output structure of these regulators allows voltages in excess of the desired output voltage to be applied without reverse current flow. The MIC29512 version offers a logic level ON/OFF control: when disabled, the devices draw nearly zero current.
An additional feature of this regulator family is a common pinout: a design’s current requirement may change up or down yet use the same board layout, as all of Micrel’s high­current Super ßeta PNP™ regulators have identical pinouts.

Thermal Design
Linear regulators are simple to use. The most complicated design parameters to consider are thermal characteristics. Thermal design requires the following application-specific parameters:
• Maximum ambient temperature, T
• Output Current, I
• Output Voltage, V
• Input Voltage, V

The heat sink may be significantly reduced in applications where the minimum input voltage is known and is large compared with the dropout voltage. Use a series input resistor to drop excessive voltage and distribute the heat between this resistor and the regulator. The low dropout properties of Micrel Super ßeta PNP regulators allow very significant reductions in regulator power dissipation and the associated heat sink without compromising performance. When this technique is employed, a capacitor of at least
0.1µF is needed directly between the input and regulator ground.
Please refer to Application Note 9 for further details and examples on thermal design and heat sink specification.
Capacitor Requirements
For stability and minimum output noise, a capacitor on the regulator output is necessary. The value of this capacitor is dependent upon the output current; lower currents allow smaller capacitors. MIC29510/2 regulators are stable with a minimum capacitor value of 47µF at full load.
This capacitor need not be an expensive low ESR type: aluminum electrolytics are adequate. In fact, extremely low ESR capacitors may contribute to instability. Tantalum ca­pacitors are recommended for systems where fast load transient response is important.
Where the regulator is powered from a source with a high AC impedance, a 0.1µF capacitor connected between Input and GND is recommended. This capacitor should have good characteristics to above 250kHz.
Transient Response and 5V to 3.3V Conversion
The MIC29510/2 have excellent response to variations in input voltage and load current. By virtue of their low dropout voltage, these devices do not saturate into dropout as readily as similar NPN-based designs. A 3.3V output Micrel LDO will maintain full speed and performance with an input supply as low as 4.2V, and will still provide some regulation with supplies down to 3.8V, unlike NPN devices that require 5.1V or more for good performance and become nothing more than a resistor under 4.6V of input. Micrel’s PNP regulators provide superior performance in “5V to 3.3V” conversion applications than NPN regulators, especially when all toler­ances are considered.

The adjustable regulator version, MIC29512, allows pro­gramming the output voltage anywhere between 1.25V and
the 16V maximum operating rating of the family. Two resis­tors are used. Resistors can be quite large, up to 100k, because of the very high input impedance and low bias current of the sense comparator. The resistor values are calculated by:

Where VO is the desired output voltage. Figure 4 shows component definition.
Enable Input
The MIC29512 versions features an enable (EN) input that allows ON/OFF control of the device. Special design allows “zero” current drain when the device is disabled—only micro­amperes of leakage current flows. The EN input has TTL/ CMOS compatible thresholds for simple interfacing with logic, or may be directly tied to VIN. Enabling the regulator requires approximately 20µA of current into the EN pin.
