μA IQ, 300mA Low-Dropout Linear Regulator
General Description
Features
The RT9078 is a low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator with
enable function that operates from a 1.2V to 5.5V supply.
It provides up to 300mA of output current in miniaturized

Operation
Basic Operation
Current-Limit Protection
The RT9078 is a low quiescent current linear regulator
designed especially for low external components system.
The input voltage range is from 1.2V to 5.5V.
The RT9078 contains an independent current limiter, which
monitors and controls the pass transistor's gate voltage,
limiting the output current to 0.6A (typ.). The current
limiting level is reduced to around 0.3A named fold-back
current limit when the output voltage is further decreased.
The output can be shorted to ground indefinitely without
damaging the part.
The minimum required output capacitance for stable
operation is 1μF capacitance after consideration of the
temperature and voltage coefficient of the capacitor.
Pass Transistor
The RT9078 builds in a P-MOSFET pass 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.
Chip Enable and Shutdown
The RT9078 provides an EN pin, as an external chip enable
control, to enable or disable the device. The VEN below
0.4V turns the regulator off and enters the shutdown mode,
while VEN above 0.9V turns the regulator on. When the
regulator is shutdown, the ground current is reduced to a
maximum of 0.5μA.

Over-Temperature Protection
The over-temperature protection function will turn off the
P-MOSFET when the junction temperature exceeds 150°C
(typ.), and the output current exceeds 30mA. Once the
junction temperature cools down by approximately 20°C,
the regulator will automatically resume operation.
Output Active Discharge
When the RT9078 is operating at shutdown mode, the
device has an internal active pull down circuit that connects
the output to GND through a resistor for output discharging
purpose.

RT9078
Application Information
Like any low dropout linear regulator, the RT9078’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 VIN and GND
pins. Any output capacitor meeting the minimum 1mΩ
ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) and capacitance larger
than 1μF 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.
Dropout Voltage
The dropout voltage refers to the voltage difference between
the VIN and VOUT pins while operating at specific output
current. The dropout voltage VDROP also can be expressed
as the voltage drop on the pass-FET at specific output
current (IRATED) while the pass-FET is fully operating at
ohmic region and the pass-FET can be characterized as
an resistance RDS(ON). Thus the dropout voltage can be
defined as (VDROP = VIN − VOUT = RDS(ON) x IRATED). For
normal operation, the suggested LDO operating range is
(VIN > VOUT + VDROP) for good transient response and
PSRR ability. Vice versa, while operating at the ohmic
region will degrade the performance severely.
Adjustable Output Voltage Setting
Because of the small input current at the SNS pin, the
RT9078N with SNS pin also can work as an adjustable
output voltage LDO. Figure 3 gives the connections for
the adjustable output voltage application. The resistor
divider from VOUT to SNS sets the output voltage when
in regulation.
The voltage on the SNS pin sets the output voltage and is
determined by the values of R1 and R2. The adjustable
output voltage can be calculated using the formula given
in equation 1 :
VOUT R1 + R2 VSNS
(1)
R2
The maximum adjustable output voltage can be as high
as input voltage deducted by the dropout voltage. The
Resistive divider total value of R1 and R2 are suggested
not over 50kΩ.
Thermal Considerations
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum junction temperature. The maximum power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and
difference between junction and ambient temperature. The
maximum power dissipation can be calculated by the
following formula :
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA) / θJA
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA is
the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction to ambient
thermal resistance.
For recommended operating condition specifications the
maximum junction temperature is 125°C and TA is the
ambient temperature. The junction to ambient thermal
resistance, θJA, is layout dependent. For TSOT-23-5
package, the thermal resistance, θJA, is 230.6°C/W on a
standard JEDEC 51-7 four-layer thermal test board. For
ZQFN-4L 1x1 (ZDFN-4L 1x1) package, the thermal
resistance, θJA, is 226°C/W on a two-layer Richtek
evaluation board. The maximum power dissipation at TA =
25°C can be calculated by the following formula :
PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (230.6°C/W) = 0.43W for
TSOT-23-5 package
PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (226°C/W) = 0.44W for
ZQFN-4L 1x1 (ZDFN-4L 1x1) package
The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal
resistance, θJA. The derating curve in Figure 4 allows the
designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation.
where VSNS is determined by the output voltage selections
in the ordering information of the RT9078N (Ex : For the
RT9078N-08GJ5, VSNS is 0.8V ).

Layout Considerations
For best performance of the RT9078, the PCB layout
suggestions below are highly recommend :
Input capacitor must be placed as close as possible to
IC to minimize the power loop area.
Minimize the power trace length and avoid using vias for
the input and output capacitors connection.
Figure 5 and Figure 6 shows the examples for the layout
reference which helps the inductive parasitic components
minimization, load transient reduction and good circuit
stability.
