The RT9012 is short circuit thermal folded back protected.
The IC lowers its OTP trip point from 165°C to 110°C when
output short circuit occurs (VOUT < 0.4V) providing
maximum safety to end users.
The RT9012 can operate stably with very small ceramic
output capacitors, reducing required board space and
component cost. The RT9012 is available in fixed output
voltages in the WDFN-8L 2x2 package.

Applications Information
Like any low-dropout regulator, the external capacitors used
with the RT9012 must be carefully selected for regulator
stability and performance. Using a capacitor whose value
is > 1μF on the RT9012 input and the amount of
capacitance can be increased without limit. The input
capacitor must be located a distance of not more than 0.5
inch from the input pin of the IC and returned to a clean
analog ground. Any good quality ceramic or tantalum can
be used for this capacitor. The capacitor with larger value
and lower ESR (equivalent series resistance) provides
better PSRR and line-transient response.
The output capacitor must meet both requirements for
minimum amount of capacitance and ESR in all LDOs
application. The RT9012 is designed specifically to work
with low ESR ceramic output capacitor in space-saving
and performance consideration. Using a ceramic capacitor
whose value is at least 1μF with ESR is > 20mΩ on the
RT9012 output ensures stability. The RT9012 still works
well with output capacitor of other types due to the wide
stable ESR range. Figure 1. shows the curves of allowable
ESR range as a function of load current for various output
capacitor values. Output capacitor of larger capacitance
can reduce noise and improve load transient response,
stability, and PSRR. The output capacitor should be located
not more than 0.5 inch from the VOUT pin of the RT9012
and returned to a clean analog ground.

Thermal Considerations
Thermal protection limits power dissipation in RT9012.
When the operation junction temperature exceeds 170°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 40°C. RT9012
lowers its OTP trip level from 170°C to 110°C when output
short circuit occurs (VOUT < 0.4V) as shown in Figure 2. It
limits IC case temperature under 100°C and provides
maximum safety to customer while output short circuit
occurring.

For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute

power dissipation definition in device is :
PD = (VIN − VOUT) x IOUT + VIN x IQ

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

PD(MAX) = ( TJ(MAX) − TA ) /θJA
Where T J(MAX) is the maximum operation junction

the junction to ambient thermal resistance.

RT9012
For recommended operating conditions specification of
RT9012, the maximum junction temperature is 125°C. The
junction to ambient thermal resistance (θJA is layout
dependent) for WDFN-8L 2x2 package is 108°C/W on the
standard JEDEC 51-3 single-layer thermal test board. The
maximum power dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated
by following formula :
P D(MAX) = ( 125°C − 25°C ) / 108 = 0.926W for
WDFN-8L 2x2 packages
The maximum power dissipation depends on operating
ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal
resistance θJA . For RT9012 packages, the Figure 3 of
derating curves allows the designer to see the effect of
rising ambient temperature on the maximum power
allowed.
