The MIC5396, MIC5397, MIC5398, and MIC5399 are
advanced dual LDOs ideal for powering general
purpose portable devices. The MIC5396/7/8/9 provide
two high performance, independent 300 mA LDOs in a
single package. This makes it possible to improve
system efficiency by providing two independent supply
inputs that can be optimized for each individual LDO.
The MIC5396/7/8/9 also feature a wide output voltage
range down to 1.0V.

Its full feature set and low dropout voltage make it ideal
for battery-powered applications. The MIC5396/7/8/9
offer 2% accuracy, low dropout voltage (160 mV at
300 mA), and low ground current (typically 42 µA per
LDO at full load). The MIC5396/7/8/9 can also be put
into a zero off mode current state, drawing virtually no
current when disabled.
When the MIC5397 or MIC5399 are disabled, an
internal resistive load is automatically applied to the
output to discharge the output capacitor. In addition,
the MIC5398 and MIC5399 offer an internal enable
pull-down resistor to ensure that the output is disabled
when the enable is in tri-state mode. These LDOs also
offer fast transient response and high PSRR while
consuming a minimum operating current. The family is
available in a tiny 8-lead, 1.6 mm x 1.2 mm leadless
Extra Thin DFN package.

Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the
regulator will go into thermal shutdown.

Note 1:
—
The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of ambient temperature, the maximum allowable
junction temperature and the thermal resistance from junction to air (i.e., TA, TJ, JA). Exceeding the
maximum allowable power dissipation will cause the device operating junction temperature to exceed the
maximum +125°C rating. Sustained junction temperatures above +125°C can impact the device reliability.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
MIC5396/7/8/9 are dual 300 mA LDOs in a tiny 8-lead
1.2 mm x 1.6 mm Extra Thin DFN package. The
MIC5397 and MIC5399 include an auto-discharge
circuit for each LDO output, which is activated when the
output is disabled. The MIC5398 and MIC5399 have an
internal pull-down resistor on the enable pin to ensure
that the output is disabled if the control signal is
tri-stated. The MIC5396/7/8/9 regulators are fully
protected from damage due to fault conditions using
linear current limiting and thermal shutdown. These
devices are not suitable for RF transmitter systems.
4.1
Input Capacitor
4.4
Enable/Shutdown
The MIC5396/7/8/9 come with two active-high enable
pins that allow each regulator to be disabled
independently. Forcing the enable pin low disables the
regulator and sends it into an off mode current state
drawing virtually zero current. When disabled, the
MIC5397 and MIC5399 switch an internal 25Ω load on
the regulator output to discharge the external capacitor.
Forcing the enable pin high enables the output voltage.
The MIC5396 and MIC5397 active-high enable pin
uses CMOS technology and cannot be left floating. A
floating enable pin may cause an indeterminate state
on the output. The MIC5398 and MIC5399 have an
internal pull-down resistor on the enable pin to disable
the output when the enable pin is floating.
The
MIC5396/7/8/9
are
high-performance,
high-bandwidth devices. An input capacitor of 1 µF
capacitor is required from the input to ground to provide
stability. Low-ESR ceramic capacitors provide optimal
performance at a minimum of space. Additional
high-frequency capacitors, such as small valued NPO
dielectric type capacitors, help filter out high-frequency
noise and are good practice in any RF-based circuit.
X5R or X7R dielectrics are recommended for the input
capacitor. Y5V dielectrics lose most of their
capacitance over temperature and are therefore, not
recommended.
The MIC5396/7/8/9 are designed to provide two
300 mA continuous current outputs in a very small
package. Maximum operating temperature can be
calculated based on the output currents and the
voltage drop across the part. For example, if the input
voltage is 3.6V, VOUT1 = 3.3V, VOUT2 = 2.8V, each with
an output current of 300 mA. The actual power
dissipation of the regulator circuit can be determined
using Equation 4-1:
4.2
EQUATION 4-1:
Output Capacitor
The MIC5396/7/8/9 require an output capacitor of 1 µF
or greater to maintain stability. The design is optimized
for use with low-ESR ceramic chip capacitors.
High-ESR capacitors may cause high frequency
oscillation. The output capacitor can be increased, but
performance has been optimized for a 1 µF ceramic
output capacitor and does not improve significantly with
larger capacitance.
X7R/X5R dielectric-type ceramic capacitors are
recommended because of their temperature
performance. X7R type capacitors change capacitance
by 15% over their operating temperature range and are
the most stable type of ceramic capacitors. Z5U and
Y5V dielectric capacitors change value by as much as
50% and 60%, respectively, over their operating
temperature ranges. To use a ceramic chip capacitor
with Y5V dielectric, the value must be much higher than
an X7R ceramic capacitor to ensure the same
minimum capacitance over the equivalent operating
temperature range.
