DS9183-21 October 2015 RT9183 Application Information Like any low-dropout regulator, the RT9183 series requires input and output decoupling capacitors. These capacitors must be correctly selected for good performance (see Capacitor Characteristics Section). Please note that linear regulators with a low dropout voltage have high internal loop gains which require care in guarding against oscillation caused by insufficient decoupling capacitance. Input Capacitor An input capacitance of ≅10μF is required between the device input pin and ground directly (the amount of the capacitance may be increased without limit). The input capacitor MUST be located less than 1 cm from the device to assure input stability (see PCB Layout Section). A lower ESR capacitor allows the use of less capacitance, while higher ESR type (like aluminum electrolytic) require more capacitance. Capacitor types (aluminum, ceramic and tantalum) can be mixed in parallel, but the total equivalent input capacitance/ESR must be defined as above to stable operation. There are no requirements for the ESR on the input capacitor, but tolerance and temperature coefficient must be considered when selecting the capacitor to ensure the capacitance will be ≅10μF over the entire operating temperature range. Output Capacitor The RT9183 is designed specifically to work with very small ceramic output capacitors. The recommended minimum capacitance (temperature characteristics X7R or X5R) are 10μF to 47μF range with 1mΩ to 25mΩ range ceramic capacitors between each LDO output and GND for transient stability, but it may be increased without limit. Higher capacitance values help to improve transient. The output capacitor's ESR is critical because it forms a zero to provide phase lead which is required for loop stability. Copyright © 2015 Richtek Technology Corporation. All rights reserved. DS9183-21 October 2015 No Load Stability The device will remain stable and in regulation with no external load. This is specially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive applications. Input-Output (Dropout) Voltage A regulator's minimum input-to-output voltage differential (dropout voltage) determines the lowest usable supply voltage. In battery-powered systems, this determines the useful end-of-life battery voltage. Because the device uses a PMOS, its dropout voltage is a function of drain-tosource on-resistance, RDS(ON), multiplied by the load current : VDROPOUT = VIN − VOUT = RDS(ON) × IOUT Current Limit The RT9183 monitors and controls the PMOS' gate voltage, minimum limiting the output current to 2A . The output can be shorted to ground for an indefinite period of time without damaging the part. Short-Circuit Protection The device is short circuit protected and in the event of a peak over-current condition, the short-circuit control loop will rapidly drive the output PMOS pass element off. Once the power pass element shuts down, the control loop will rapidly cycle the output on and off until the average power dissipation causes the thermal shutdown circuit to respond to servo the on/off cycling to a lower frequency. Please refer to the section on thermal information for power dissipation calculations. Capaacitor Characteristics It is important to note that capacitance tolerance and variation with temperature must be taken into consideration when selecting a capacitor so that the minimum required amount of capacitance is provided over the full operating temperature range. In general, a good tantalum capacitor will show very little capacitance variation with temperature, but a ceramic may not be as good (depending on dielectric type). Aluminum electrolytics also typically have large temperature variation of capacitance value. is a registered trademark of Richtek Technology Corporation. www.richtek.com 9 RT9183 Equally important to consider is a capacitor's ESR change with temperature: this is not an issue with ceramics, as their ESR is extremely low. However, it is very important in tantalum and aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Both show increasing ESR at colder temperatures, but the increase in aluminum electrolytic capacitors is so severe they may not be feasible for some applications. Ceramic : For values of capacitance in the 10μF to 100μF range, ceramics are usually larger and more costly than tantalums but give superior AC performance for by-passing high frequency noise because of very low ESR (typically less than 10mΩ). However, some dielectric types do not have good capacitance characteristics as a function of voltage and temperature. Z5U and Y5V dielectric ceramics have capacitance that drops severely with applied voltage. A typical Z5U or Y5V capacitor can lose 60% of its rated capacitance with half of the rated voltage applied to it. The Z5U and Y5V also exhibit a severe temperature effect, losing more than 50% of nominal capacitance at high and low limits of the temperature range. X7R and X5R dielectric ceramic capacitors are strongly recommended if ceramics are used, as they typically maintain a capacitance range within  20% of nominal over full operating ratings of temperature and voltage. Of course, they are typically larger and more costly than Z5U/ Y5U types for a given voltage and capacitance. Tantalum : Solid tantalum capacitors are recommended for use on the output because their typical ESR is very close to the ideal value required for loop compensation. They also work well as input capacitors if selected to meet the ESR requirements previously listed. Tantalums also have good temperature stability: a good quality tantalum will typically show a capacitance value that varies less than 10 to 15% across the full temperature range of 125°C to −40°C. ESR will vary only about 2X going from the high to low temperature limits. Copyright © 2015 Richtek Technology Corporation. All rights reserved. www.richtek.com 10 The increasing ESR at lower temperatures can cause oscillations when marginal quality capacitors are used (if the ESR of the capacitor is near the upper limit of the stability range at room temperature). Aluminum : This capacitor type offers the most capacitance for the money. The disadvantages are that they are larger in physical size, not widely available in surface mount, and have poor AC performance (especially at higher frequencies) due to higher ESR and ESL. Compared by size, the ESR of an aluminum electrolytic is higher than either Tantalum or ceramic, and it also varies greatly with temperature. A typical aluminum electrolytic can exhibit an ESR increase of as much as 50X when going from 25°C down to −40°C. It should also be noted that many aluminum electrolytics only specify impedance at a frequency of 120Hz, which indicates they have poor high frequency performance. Only aluminum electrolytics that have an impedance specified at a higher frequency (between 20kHz and 100kHz) should be used for the device. Derating must be applied to the manufacturer's ESR specification, since it is typically only valid at room temperature. Any applications using aluminum electrolytics should be thoroughly tested at the lowest ambient operating temperature where ESR is maximum. Thermal Considerations Thermal protection limits power dissipation in RT9183. 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 turns on again after the junction temperature cools by 30°C. 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 is a registered trademark of Richtek Technology Corporation. DS9183-21 October 2015 RT9183 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 be calculated by following formula : PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA) /θJA Where T J(MAX) is the maximum operation junction temperature 125°C, TA is the ambient temperature and the θJA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance. For recommended operating conditions specification, where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature of the die (125°C) and TA is the maximum ambient temperature. The junction to ambient thermal resistance (θJA is layout dependent) for SOT-223 package is 115°C/W, SOT-223 package (F-Type) is 135°C/W, SOP-8 package is 125°C/ W, TO-252 package is 68°C/W, TO-252 package (F-Type) is 75°C/W and TO-263 package is 45°C/W on standard JEDEC 51-3 thermal test board. Maximum power dissipation (mW) The maximum power dissipation depends on operating ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal resistance θJA. The Figure 4 of derating curves allows the designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature on the maximum power allowed. TO-263 1600 Good board layout practices must be used or instability can be induced because of ground loops and voltage drops. The input and output capacitors MUST be directly connected to the input, output, and ground pins of the device using traces which have no other currents flowing through them. The best way to do this is to layout CIN and COUT near the device with short traces to the VIN, VOUT, and ground pins. The regulator ground pin should be connected to the external circuit ground so that the regulator and its capacitors have a“single point ground”.. It should be noted that stability problems have been seen in applications where “vias” to an internal ground plane were used at the ground points of the device and the input and output capacitors. This was caused by varying ground potentials at these nodes resulting from current flowing through the ground plane. Using a single point ground technique for the regulator and it's capacitors fixed the problem. Since high current flows through the traces going into VIN and coming from VOUT, Kelvin connect the capacitor leads to these pins so there is no voltage drop in series with the input and output capacitors. Optimum performance can only be achieved when the device is mounted on a PC board according to the diagram below : 2400 2000 PCB Layout GND TO-252 (F-Type) TO-252 1200 SOT-223 800 SOT-223 (F-Type) 400 ADJ + EN SOP-8 0 0 25 50 75 100 125 VOUT Ambient temperature (°C) (℃ ) + + Figure 4 GND VIN GND SOP-8 Board Layout Copyright © 2015 Richtek Technology Corporation.

The output voltage is set by the ratio of two external resistors as shown in Figure 2. The value of R2 should be less than 80k to maintain regulation. In critical applications, small voltage drop is caused by the resistance (RT) of PC traces between the ground pin of the device and the return pin of R2 (See Figure 5 shown on next page). Note that the voltage drop across the external PC trace will add to the output voltage of the device. Optimum regulation will be obtained at the point where the return pin of R2 is connected to the ground pin of the device directly.
