36V, 2μ
μA, IQ, 100mA Low Dropout Voltage Linear Regulator
General Description
Features
The RT2558 is a high voltage linear regulator offering the
benefits of high input voltage, low dropout voltage, low
quiescent current and low external components.
The feature of low quiescent current as low as 2μA is ideal
for powering the battery equipment to a longer service
life. The RT2558 is stable with the ceramic output capacitor
over its wide input range from 3.5V to 36V and the entire
range of output load current (0mA to 100mA).

Operation
The RT2558 is a high input voltage linear regulator designed
specially for low external components system. The input
voltage range is from 3.5V to 36V.
Output Transistor
The RT2558 builds in a P-MOSFET output transistor which
provides a low switch-on resistance for low dropout voltage
applications.
Error Amplifier
The Error Amplifier compares the internal reference voltage
with the output feedback voltage from the internal divider,
and controls the Gate voltage of P-MOSFET to support
good line regulation and load regulation at output voltage.

Current Limit
The RT2558 provides current limit function to prevent the
device from damages during over-load or short-circuit
condition. This current is detected by an internal sensing
transistor.
Over-Temperature Protection
The over-temperature protection function will turn off the
P-MOSFET when the junction temperature exceeds
150°C (typ.). Once the junction temperature cools down
by approximately 20°C, the regulator will automatically
resume operation.

RT2558
Application Information
Capacitor Selection
Like any low dropout linear regulator, the RT2558’s
external input and output capacitors must be properly
selected for stability and performance. Use a 1μF or larger
input capacitor and place it close to the IC's VCC and
GND pins. Any output capacitor met the minimum 1mΩ
ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) requirement may be
used. Place the output capacitor close to the IC's VOUT
and GND pins. Increasing capacitance and decreasing ESR
can improve the circuit's PSRR and line transient response.
Over-Temperature Protection
Thermal protection limits power dissipation to prevent IC
overheat. When the operation junction temperature
exceeds 150°C, the over-temperature protection circuit
starts the thermal shutdown function and turns the
regulator off. The regulator turns on again after the junction
temperature cools down by 20°C.
Power Dissipation
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum operation junction temperature 125°C. The
power dissipation definition in device is :
PD = (VIN − VOUT) x IOUT + VIN x IQ
The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25°C can be
calculated by following formula :
P D(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (75°C/W) = 1.33W
(SOP-8 Exposed Pad on the minimum layout)
P D(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (49°C/W) = 2.04W
(SOP-8 Exposed Pad on the 70mm2 copper area layout)
Layout Considerations
The thermal resistance θJA of SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) is
determined by the package design and the PCB design.
However, the package design had been designed. If
possible, it's useful to increase thermal performance by
the PCB design. The thermal resistance θJA can be
decreased by adding a copper under the exposed pad of
SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package.
As shown in Figure 1, the amount of copper area to which
the SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) is mounted affects thermal
performance. When mounted to the standard SOP-8
(Exposed Pad) pad (Figure 1.a), θJA is 75°C/W. Adding
copper area of pad under the SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) (Figure
1.b) reduces the θJA to 64°C/W. Even further, increasing
the copper area of pad to 70mm2 (Figure 1.e) reduces the
θJA to 49°C/W.
The maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal
resistance of IC package, PCB layout, the rate of
surroundings airflow and temperature difference between
junctions to ambient. The maximum power dissipation can
be calculated by following formula :
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA) / θJA
(a) Copper Area = (2.3 x 2.3) mm2, θJA = 75°C/W
Where T J(MAX) is the maximum operation junction
temperature, TA is the ambient temperature and the θJA is
the junction to ambient thermal resistance.
For recommended operating conditions specification, the
maximum junction temperature is 125°C. The junction to
ambient thermal resistance for SOP-8 (Exposed Pad)
package is 75°C/W on the standard JEDEC 51-7 (4 layers,
2S2P) thermal test board. The copper thickness is 2oz.

The maximum power dissipation depends on operating
ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal
resistance θJA. The Figure 2 of derating curves allows the
designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power allowed.
