RT9161/A

300/500mA Low Dropout Linear Voltage Regulator

General Description

The RT9161/A is a 300/500mA fixed output voltage low

dropout linear regulator. Typical ground current is

approximately 110μA, from zero to maximum loading

conditions. Wide range of available output voltage fits most

of applications. Built-in output current-limiting most

thermal-limiting provide maximal protection against any

fault conditions.

For ease of application, the RT9161/A comes in the popular

3-pin SOT-23 (300mA), SOT-89 (300mA), SOT-223

(500mA), or TO-92 packages.

Application Information

A 10uF capacitor with 200mΩ or higher ESR, connecting

between VOUT and GND pins, is recommended for

stability. A capacitor with ESR smaller than 200 mΩ may

cause VOUT oscillation as shown in Figure 1. Operating

temperature should be well considered to ensure that the

capacitance is no less than 10uF over the operating

temperature range. Please take the notice that Aluminum

electrolytic capacitors may cause VOUT oscillation when

operating below −25°C. The capacitance can be increased

without limit for better transient response.

A 1uF or higher capacitor should be placed between VIN

and GND to filter out input noise and ensure stable output

voltage.

resistance θJA is layout dependent. For SOT-223 packages,

the thermal resistance θJA is 135°C/W on the standard

JEDEC 51-3 single-layer 1S thermal test board. The

maximum power dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated

by following formula :

Figure 1

Thermal protection limits power dissipation in RT9161/A.

When the operation junction temperature exceeds 165°C,

the OTP circuit starts the thermal shutdown function and

turns the pass element off. The pass element turn on again

after the junction temperature cools by 30°C.

For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute

maximum operation junction temperature 125°C. The

power dissipation definition in device is :

PD = (V

− V

) x I

+ VIN x I

OUT

Q

The maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal

resistance of IC package, PCB layout, the rate of

surroundings airflow and temperature difference between

junction to ambient. The maximum power dissipation can

be calculated by following formula :

The maximum power dissipation depends on operating

ambient temperature for fixed T

and thermal

resistance θJA. For RT9161/A packages, the Figure 2 of

derating curves allows the designer to see the effect of

rising ambient temperature on the maximum power

allowed.
