The SC4211 is a high performance positive voltage
regulator designed for use in applications requiring very
low Input voltage and very low dropout voltage at up to 1
amp. It operates with a Vin as low as 1.4V, with output
voltage programmable as low as 0.5V. The SC4211 features ultra low dropout, ideal for applications where Vout
is very close to Vin. Additionally, the SC4211 has an enable pin to further reduce power dissipation while shutdown. The SC4211 provides excellent regulation over variations in line, load and temperature.
The SC4211 is available in the SOIC-8EDP (Exposed Die
Pad) package. The output voltage can be set via an external divider or to 0.5V depending on how the FB pin is configured.

Note:
(1) Available voltage is : 0.5V or Output voltage can be adjusted using
external resistors, see Pin Descriptions.
(2) Only available in tape and reel packaging 2500 devices for the
SOIC-8EDP package.
(3) Lead free product.
The SC4211 is intended for applications where high current capability and very low dropout voltage are required.
It provides a very simple, low cost solution that uses very
little PCB real estate. Additional features include an enable pin to allow for a very low power consumption standby
mode, and a fully adjustable output.
Component Selection
Input capacitor: A large bulk capacitance of about 100uF
should be closely placed to the input supply pin of the
SC4211 to ensure that Vin does not sag below 1.4V. Also a
minimum of 4.7µF ceramic capacitor is
recommended to be placed directly next to the Vin pin.
This allows for the device being some
distance from any bulk capacitance on the rail.
Additionally, input droop due to load transients is reduced,
improving load transient response. Additional capacitance
may be added if required by the application.
Output capacitor: a minimum bulk capacitance of 10µF,
along with a 0.1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor is
recommended. Increasing the bulk capacitance will
improve the overall transient response. The use of
multiple lower value ceramic capacitors in parallel to
achieve the desired bulk capacitance will not cause
stability issues. Although designed for use with ceramic
output capacitors, the SC4211 is extremely tolerant of output capacitor ESR values and thus will also work
comfortably with tantalum output capacitors.
Noise immunity: in very electrically noisy environments, it
is recommended that 0.1µF ceramic capacitors be placed
from IN to GND and OUT to GND as close to the device pins
as possible.
Thermal Considerations
The power dissipation in the SC4211 is approximately equal
to the product of the output current and the input to output voltage differential:
()
IVOUTVINP•−≈
OD
The absolute worst-case dissipation is given by:
IVINIVOUTVINP•+•−=
Q(MAX)(MAX)O(MAX)(MIN)(MAX)D(MAX)
For a typical scenario, VIN = 3.3V ± 5%, V
= 2.8V and
OUT
IO = 1A, therefore:
V
= 3.465V, V
IN(MAX)
Thus P
D(MAX)
= .722W.
Using this figure, and assuming T
= 2.744V and I
OUT(MIN)
= 1.75mA,
Q(MAX)
= 70°C, we can cal-

This should be achievable for the SOIC-8EDP package
using PCB copper area to aid in conducting the heat away,
such as one square inch of copper connected to the ground
pins of the device. Internal ground/power planes and air
flow will also assist in removing heat. For higher ambient
temperatures it may be necessary to use additional copper area.
External voltage selection resistors: the use of 1%
resistors, and designing for a current flow ≥ 10µA is
recommended to ensure a well regulated output (thus R2
≤ 120kΩ).
