RT9078
2μ
μA IQ, 300mA Low-Dropout Linear Regulator
General Description
Features
The RT9078 is a low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulators with
enable function that operates from 1.2V to 5.5V. It provides
up to 300mA of output current and offers low-power
operation in miniaturized packaging.
The features of low quiescent current as low as 2μA and
almost zero disable current is ideal for powering the battery
equipment to a longer service life. The RT9078 is stable
with the ceramic output capacitor over its wide input range
from 1.2V to 5.5V and the entire range of output load
current (0mA to 300mA).

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 provides current limit function to prevent the
device from damages during over-load or shorted-circuit
condition. This current is detected by an internal sensing
transistor.
The minimum required output capacitance for stable
operation is 1μF capacitance after consideration of the
temperature and voltage coefficient of the capacitor.
Output Transistor
The RT9078 builds in a P-MOSFET output transistor which
provides a low switch-on resistance for low dropout voltage
applications.
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 80mA. Once the
junction temperature cools down by approximately 20°C,
the regulator will automatically resume operation.
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.
Enable
The RT9078 delivers the output power when it is set to
enable state. When it works in disable state, there is no
output power and the operation quiescent current is almost
zero.

RT9078
Application Information
Enable
The RT9078 has an EN pin to turn on or turn off the
regulator, When the EN pin is in logic high, the regulator
will be turned on. The shutdown current is almost 0μA
typical. The EN pin may be directly tied to VIN to keep the
part on. The Enable input is CMOS logic and cannot be
left floating.
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. In order to keep
a good temperature coefficient of output voltage, the values
of R1 and R2 should be selected carefully to ignore the
temperature coefficient of input current at the SNS pin. A
current greater than 50μA in the resistor divider is
recommended to meet the above requirement. The
adjustable output voltage can be calculated using the
formula given in equation 1 :
VOUT R1 + R2 VSNS
(1)
R2
where VSNS is determined by the output voltage selections
in the ordering information of the RT9078N. The maximum
adjustable output voltage can be as high as input voltage
deducted by the dropout voltage.
When we choose 51kΩ and 16kΩ as R1 and R2
respectively, and select a 0.8V output at SNS pin, the

DS9078-13 April 2018
adjustable output voltage will be set to around 3.35V. Its
temperature coefficient in Figure 4 is still perfect in such
kind of application.

Output Voltage (V)
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.

The minimum recommended 50μA in the resistor divider
makes the application no longer an ultra low quiescent
LDO. Figure 5 is another fine adjustable output voltage
application can keep the LDO still operating in low power
consumption. The fine tune range is recommended to be
less than 50mV (R1 ≤ 91kΩ) in order to keep a good
temperature coefficient of the output voltage.

Figure 5. Fine Adjustable Output Voltage Application
Circuit
There isn't extra current consumption in the above
application. But the temperature coefficient of output
voltage will be degraded by the input current at SNS pin.
If the tuning range is larger than 50mV, a compensation
capacitor (56pF) is required to keep the stability of output
voltage. The fine adjustable output voltage is calculated
using the formula given in equation 2 :

where ISNS is the input Current at SNS pin (typical 550nA
at room temperature) and VSNS is determined by the
output voltage selections in the ordering information of
the RT9078N.
Current Limit
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.

resistance, θJA. The derating curve in Figure 6 allows the
designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation.

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 :

Layout Consideration
For best performance of the RT9078, the PCB layout
suggestions below are highly recommend. All circuit
components placed on the same side and as near to the
respective LDO pin as possible, place the ground return
path connection to the input and output capacitor. Using
vias and long power traces for the input and output
capacitors connection is discouraged and have negatively
affects on performance. Figure 7 and Figure 8 shows the
examples for the layout reference that reduce conduction
trace loop, helping inductive parasitic minimize, load
transient reduction and good circuit stability.

PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (226°C/W) = 0.44W for
