The MIC5219 is an efficient linear voltage regulator with high
peak output current capability, very low dropout voltage, and
better than 1% output voltage accuracy. Dropout is typically
10mV at light loads and less than 500mV at full load.
The MIC5219 is designed to provide a peak output current for
startup conditions where higher inrush current is demanded.
It features a 500mA peak output rating. Continuous output
current is limited only by package and layout.
The MIC5219 can be enabled or shut down by a CMOS or
TTL compatible signal. When disabled, power consumption
drops nearly to zero. Dropout ground current is minimized to
help prolong battery life. Other key features include reversedbattery protection, current limiting, overtemperature shutdown, and low noise performance with an ultra-low-noise
option.
The MIC5219 is available in adjustable or fixed output voltages in space-saving SOT-23-5 and MM8™ 8-lead power
MSOP packages. For higher power requirements see the
MIC5209 or MIC5237.

Applications Information
The MIC5219 is designed for 150mA to 200mA output current
applications where a high current spike (500mA) is needed
for short, startup conditions. Basic application of the device
will be discussed initially followed by a more detailed discussion of higher current applications.
Enable/Shutdown
Forcing EN (enable/shutdown) high (> 2V) enables the regulator. EN is compatible with CMOS logic. If the enable/
shutdown feature is not required, connect EN to IN (supply
input). See Figure 5.
Input Capacitor
A 1µF 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 if a battery is used as the input.
Output Capacitor
An output capacitor is required between OUT and GND to
prevent oscillation. The minimum size of the output capacitor
is dependent upon whether a reference bypass capacitor is
used. 1µF minimum is recommended when C
(see Figure 5). 2.2µF minimum is recommended when C
is 470pF (see Figure 6). For applications <3V, the output
capacitor should be increased to 22µF minimum to reduce
start-up overshoot. Larger values improve the regulator’s
transient response. The output capacitor value may be increased without limit.
The output capacitor should have an ESR (equivalent series
resistance) of about 5Ω or less and a resonant frequency
above 1MHz. Ultra-low-ESR capacitors could cause oscillation and/or underdamped transient response. Most tantalum
or aluminum electrolytic capacitors are adequate; film types
will work, but are more expensive. Many aluminum electrolytics have electrolytes that freeze at about –30°C, so solid
tantalums are recommended for operation below –25°C.
At lower values of output current, less output capacitance is
needed for stability. The capacitor can be reduced to 0.47µF
for current below 10mA or 0.33µF for currents below 1mA.
No-Load Stability
The MIC5219 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.
Reference Bypass Capacitor
BYP is connected to the internal voltage reference. A 470pF

Thermal Considerations
The MIC5219 is designed to provide 200mA of continuous
current in two very small profile packages. 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 thermal resistance,
junction-to-ambient, of the device and the following basic
equation.
T
is the maximum junction temperature of the die,
J(MAX)
125°C, and TA is the ambient operating temperature. θJA is
layout dependent; table 1 shows examples of thermal resistance, junction-to-ambient, for the MIC5219.
The actual power dissipation of the regulator circuit can be
determined using one simple equation.
PD = (VIN – V
Substituting P

for PD and solving for the operating
conditions that are critical to the application will give the
maximum operating conditions for the regulator circuit. For
example, if we are operating the MIC5219-3.3BM5 at room
temperature, with a minimum footprint layout, we can determine the maximum input voltage for a set output current.

The thermal resistance, junction-to-ambient, for the minimum footprint is 220°C/W, taken from table 1. The maximum
power dissipation number cannot be exceeded for proper
operation of the device. Using the output voltage of 3.3V, and
an output current of 150mA, we can determine the maximum
input voltage. Ground current, maximum of 3mA for 150mA
of output current, can be taken from the Electrical Characteristics section of the data sheet.
Therefore, a 3.3V application at 150mA of output current can
accept a maximum input voltage of 6.2V in a SOT-23-5
package. For a full discussion of heat sinking and thermal
effects on voltage regulators, refer to the Regulator Thermals
section of Micrel’s

Peak Current Applications
The MIC5219 is designed for applications where high startup currents are demanded from space constrained regulators. This device will deliver 500mA start-up current from a
SOT-23-5 or MM8 package, allowing high power from a very
low profile device. The MIC5219 can subsequently provide
output current that is only limited by the thermal characteristics of the device. You can obtain higher continuous currents
from the device with the proper design. This is easily proved
with some thermal calculations.
If we look at a specific example, it may be easier to follow. The
MIC5219 can be used to provide up to 500mA continuous
output current. First, calculate the maximum power dissipation of the device, as was done in the thermal considerations
section. Worst case thermal resistance (θ
= 220°C/W for
JA
the MIC5219-x.xBM5), will be used for this example.

Therefore, to be able to obtain a constant 500mA output
current from the 5219-5.0BM5 at room temperature, you
need extremely tight input-output voltage differential, barely
above the maximum dropout voltage for that current rating.
You can run the part from larger supply voltages if the proper
precautions are taken. Varying the duty cycle using the
enable pin can increase the power dissipation of the device
by maintaining a lower average power figure. This is ideal for
applications where high current is only needed in short
bursts. Figure 1 shows the safe operating regions for the
MIC5219-x.xBM5 at three different ambient temperatures
and at different output currents. The data used to determine
this figure assumed a minimum footprint PCB design for
minimum heat sinking. Figure 2 incorporates the same
factors as the first figure, but assumes a much better heat
sink. A 1" square copper trace on the PC board reduces the
thermal resistance of the device. This improved thermal
resistance improves power dissipation and allows for a larger
safe operating region.
Figures 3 and 4 show safe operating regions for the MIC5219x.xBMM, the power MSOP package part. These graphs
show three typical operating regions at different temperatures. The lower the temperature, the larger the operating
region. The graphs were obtained in a similar way to the
graphs for the MIC5219-x.xBM5, taking all factors into consideration and using two different board layouts, minimum
footprint and 1" square copper PC board heat sink. (For
further discussion of PC board heat sink characteristics, refer
to Application Hint 17, “Designing PC Board Heat Sinks”.)
The information used to determine the safe operating regions
can be obtained in a similar manner to that used in determining typical power dissipation, already discussed. Determining the maximum power dissipation based on the layout is the
first step, this is done in the same manner as in the previous
two sections. Then, a larger power dissipation number
multiplied by a set maximum duty cycle would give that
maximum power dissipation number for the layout. This is
best shown through an example. If the application calls for 5V
at 500mA for short pulses, but the only supply voltage
available is 8V, then the duty cycle has to be adjusted to
determine an average power that does not exceed the
maximum power dissipation for the layout.

With an output current of 500mA and a three-volt drop across
the MIC5219-xxBMM, the maximum duty cycle is 27.4%.
Applications also call for a set nominal current output with a
greater amount of current needed for short durations. This is
a tricky situation, but it is easily remedied. Calculate the
average power dissipation for each current section, then add
the two numbers giving the total power dissipation for the
regulator. For example, if the regulator is operating normally
at 50mA, but for 12.5% of the time it operates at 500mA
output, the total power dissipation of the part can be easily
determined. First, calculate the power dissipation of the
device at 50mA. We will use the MIC5219-3.3BM5 with 5V
input voltage as our example.
However, this is continuous power dissipation, the actual
on-time for the device at 50mA is (100%-12.5%) or 87.5% of
the time, or 87.5% duty cycle. Therefore, PD must be
multiplied by the duty cycle to obtain the actual average
power dissipation at 50mA.

PD × 50mA = 0.875 × 173mW
PD × 50mA = 151mW
The power dissipation at 500mA must also be calculated.
P
× 500mA = (5V – 3.3V) 500mA + 5V × 20mA
D
PD × 500mA = 950mW
This number must be multiplied by the duty cycle at which it
would be operating, 12.5%.
PD × = 0.125 × 950mW
PD × = 119mW
The total power dissipation of the device under these conditions is the sum of the two power dissipation figures.
P

P
= PD × 50mA + PD × 500mA
D(total)
= 151mW + 119mW
D(total)
= 270mW
D(total)
The total power dissipation of the regulator is less than the
maximum power dissipation of the SOT-23-5 package at
room temperature, on a minimum footprint board and therefore would operate properly.
Multilayer boards with a ground plane, wide traces near the
pads, and large supply-bus lines will have better thermal
conductivity.
