3A Low-Voltage Low-Dropout Regulator
General Description
The MIC39300 and MIC39301 are 3.0A low-dropout linear voltage regulators that provide a low voltage, high-current output with a minimum of external components. Utilizing Micrel’s proprietary Super βeta PNP™ pass element, the MIC39300/1 offers extremely low dropout (typically 400mV at
3.0A) and low ground current (typically 36mA at 3.0A). The MIC39300/1 is ideal for PC add-in cards that need to
convert from standard 5V or 3.3V down to new, lower core voltages. A guaranteed maximum dropout voltage of 500mV over all operating conditions allows the MIC39300/1 to pro­vide 2.5V from a supply as low as 3V. The MIC39300/1 also has fast transient response for heavy switching applications. The device requires only 47µF of output capacitance to maintain stability and achieve fast transient response
The MIC39300/1 is fully protected with overcurrent limiting, thermal shutdown, reversed-battery protection, reversed­leakage protection, and reversed-lead insertion. The MIC39301 offers a TTL-logic compatible enable pin and an error flag that indicates under voltage and over current conditions. Offered in fixed voltages, the MIC39300/1 comes in the TO-220 and TO-263 packages and is an ideal upgrade to older, NPN-based linear voltage regulators.

Applications Information
The MIC39300/1 is a high-performance low-dropout voltage regulator suitable for moderate to high-current voltage regu­lator applications. Its 500mV dropout voltage at full load makes it especially valuable in battery-powered systems and as a high-efficiency noise filter in post-regulator applications. Unlike older NPN-pass transistor designs, where the mini­mum dropout voltage is limited by the base-to-emitter voltage drop and collector-to-emitter saturation voltage, dropout per­formance of the PNP output of these devices is limited only by the low VCE saturation voltage.
A trade-off for the low dropout voltage is a varying base drive requirement. Micrel’s Super βeta PNP™ process reduces this drive requirement to only 2% to 5% of the load current.
The MIC39300/1 regulator is fully protected from damage due to fault conditions. Current limiting is provided. This limiting is linear; output current during 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 spikes 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.

Thermal Design
Linear regulators are simple to use. The most complicated design parameters to consider are thermal characteristics. Thermal design requires four application-specific param­eters:
• Maximum ambient temperature (TA)
• Output Current (I
• Output Voltage (V

• Input Voltage (VIN)
• Ground Current (I

resistor to drop excessive voltage and distribute the heat between this resistor and the regulator. The low dropout properties of Micrel Super βeta PNP regulators allow signifi­cant reductions in regulator power dissipation and the asso­ciated heat sink without compromising performance. When this technique is employed, a capacitor of at least 1.0µF is needed directly between the input and regulator ground.
Refer to
Application Note 9
for further details and examples
on thermal design and heat sink specification.
Output Capacitor
The MIC39300/1 requires an output capacitor to maintain stability and improve transient response. Proper capacitor selection is important to ensure proper operation. The MIC39300/1 output capacitor selection is dependent upon the ESR (equivalent series resistance) of the output capacitor to maintain stability. When the output capacitor is 47µF or greater, the output capacitor should have less than 1 of ESR. This will improve transient response as well as promote stability. Ultralow ESR capacitors, such as ceramic chip capacitors may promote instability. These very low ESR levels may cause an oscillation and/or underdamped tran­sient response. A low-ESR solid tantalum capacitor works extremely well and provides good transient response and stability over temperature. Aluminum electrolytics can also be used, as long as the ESR of the capacitor is < 1.
The value of the output capacitor can be increased without limit. Higher capacitance values help to improve transient response and ripple rejection and reduce output noise.
Input Capacitor
An input capacitor of 1µF or greater is recommended when the device is more than 4 inches away from the bulk ac supply capacitance, or when the supply is a battery. Small, surface­mount, ceramic chip capacitors can be used for the bypass­ing. Larger values will help to improve ripple rejection by bypassing the input to the regulator, further improving the integrity of the output voltage.
Transient Response and 3.3V to 2.5V Conversion
By virtue of its low-dropout voltage, this device does not saturate into dropout as readily as similar NPN-based de­signs. When converting from 3.3V to 2.5V, the NPN-based regulators are already operating in dropout, with typical dropout requirements of 1.2V or greater. To convert down to
2.5V without operating in dropout, NPN-based regulators require an input voltage of 3.7V at the very least. The MIC39300/1 regulator will provide excellent performance with an input as low as 3.0V. This gives the PNP-based regulators a distinct advantage over older, NPN-based linear regulators.

Minimum Load Current
The MIC39300/1 regulator is specified between finite loads. If the output current is too small, leakage currents dominate and the output voltage rises. A 10mA minimum load current is necessary for proper regulation.
Error Flag
The MIC39301 version features an error flag circuit which monitors the output voltage and signals an error condition when the voltage drops 5% below the nominal output voltage. The error flag is an open-collector output that can sink 10mA during a fault condition.
Low output voltage can be caused by a number of problems, including an overcurrent fault (device in current limit) or low input voltage. The flag is inoperative during overtemperature shutdown.
Enable Input
The MIC39301 version features an enable input for on/off control of the device. Its shutdown state draws “zero” current (only microamperes of leakage). The enable input is TTL/ CMOS compatible for simple logic interface, but can be connected to up to 20V. When enabled, it draws approxi­mately 15µA.
