Notes:
1) Exceeding these ratings may cause permanent damage to
the device.
2) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the
maximum junction temperature TJ(MAX), the junction-toambient thermal resistance θJA, and the ambient temperature
TA. The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at
any ambient temperature is calculated by PD(MAX)=(TJ(MAX)TA)/θJA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation
will cause excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go
into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal shutdown circuitry
protects the device from permanent damage.
3) Devices

recommended.
4) The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating
conditions.
5) Measured on JESD51-7 4-layer board.

OPERATION
The MP20048 is a kind of new low-dropout
(LDO) voltage regulators which uses an NMOS
as the pass element in a voltage-follower
configuration. The highlight of this topology is
the stability even without outside capacitor. It
can get any value of output between 1.234V to
5V.
The MP20048 uses an advanced BICMOS
process to yield high precision. It also delivers
very low dropout voltages and low ground pin
current and features the thermal-off and current
limit block to protect the devices from damage.
Dropout Voltage
Dropout voltage is the minimum input to output
differential voltage required for the regulator to
maintain an output voltage within 100mV of its
nominal value. Because the NMOS pass
element behaves as a low-value resistor, the
dropout voltage of MP20048 is very low.
low, the regulator output is off. The EN pin
should be tied to VIN to keep the regulator
output always on if the application does not
require the shutdown feature. Do not float the
EN pin.
Current Limit
The MP20048 includes a current limit structure
which monitors and controls NMOS’s gate
voltage to limit the guaranteed maximum output
current to 450mA.
Thermal Protection
Thermal protection turns off the NMOS when
the junction temperature exceeds +140ºC,
allowing the IC to cool. When the IC’s junction
temperature drops by 10ºC, the NMOS will be
turned on again. Thermal protection limits total
power dissipation in the MP20048. For reliable
operation, junction temperature should be
limited to 125 ºC maximum.
Enable Pin and Shutdown
The MP20048 can be switched ON or OFF by a
logic input at the EN pin. A high voltage at this
pin will turn the device on. When the EN pin is

MP20048 – CAPACITOR-FREE, 250mA, LOW DROPOUT VOLTAGE REGULATOR
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Setting the Output Voltage
The output voltage of MP20048 can get any
value of output between 1.234V to 5V. The
voltage divider divides the output voltage down
to the feedback voltage by the ratio:
VFB = VOUT
R2
R1 + R2
Where VFB is the feedback threshold voltage
(VFB = 1.234V), and VOUT is the output voltage.
Thus the output voltage is:
VOUT = 1.234 ×
R1 + R2
R2
The MP20048 does not require the output
capacitor for stable operation. It is specifically
designed to be stable with any type and value
capacitor including ceramic and electrolytic.
Although an output capacitor is not required for
stability, the output capacitor, C2, is optional to
be connected at the output side. (Figure 2)
Output capacitor of larger values will help to
improve load transient response and reduce
output noise with the drawback of increasing
size.
Output Noise
R2 can be as high as 100kΩ, but a typical value
is 10kΩ. Using that value, R1 is determined by:
⎛V
− VFB
R1 = R2 × ⎜⎜ OUT
V
FB
⎝
Output Capacitor Selection
⎞
⎟⎟
⎠
For example, for a 2.5V output voltage, R2 is
10kΩ, and R1 is 10.2kΩ. You can select a
standard 10.2kΩ (±1%) resistor for R1.
Power Dissipation
The power dissipation for any package depends
on the thermal resistance of the case and circuit
board, the temperature difference between the
junction and ambient air, and the rate of air flow.
The power dissipation across the device can be
represented by the equation:
P = (VIN − VOUT )× IOUT
The allowable power dissipation can
calculated using the following equation:
A precision bandgap reference is used to
generate the internal reference voltage, VREF,
which is the dominant noise source within the
MP20048. It is optional to connect a feed
forward capacitor, C3, from the output to
feedback to improve load transient performance.
This capacitor, C3, should be limited to be less
than 0.1uF. (Figure 2)

surrounding environment, θJA is the thermal
resistance from the junction to the ambient
environment.
