RTQ2522A/B
2A Ultra-Low Dropout Voltage LDO Regulators with Soft-Start
General Description
Features
The RTQ2522A/B is a very low dropout linear regulator
which operates from input voltage as low as 0.8V. The
device is capable of supplying 2A of output current with a
typical dropout voltage of only 135mV. A VBIAS supply is
required to run the internal reference and LDO circuitry
while output current comes directly from the VIN supply
for high efficiency regulation. User-programmable soft-start
limits the input inrush current and minimizes stress on
the input power. The enable input and power good output
allow easy sequencing with external regulators. This
complete flexibility provides an easy-to-use robust power
management solution for a wide variety of applications.

Operation
The RTQ2522A/B is a very low dropout linear regulator
which operates from input voltage as low as 0.8V. It
provides a highly accurate output that is capable of
supplying 2A of output current with a typical dropout
voltage of only 135mV. Output voltage range is from 0.8V
to 3.6V.
VIN and VBIAS Supply
The VBIAS input supplies the internal reference and LDO
circuitry while all output current comes directly from the
VIN input for high efficiency regulation. With external VBIAS
3.25V above VOUT, offers the RTQ2522A/B very low
dropout performance (150mV Max. at 2A) which allows
the device to be used in place of a DC-DC converter
and still achieve good efficiency. This provides designers
to achieve the smallest, simplest, and lowest cost solution.
For applications where an auxiliary bias voltage is not

available or low dropout is not required. In these
applications, VBIAS is suggested be 1.8V above VOUT
and attention on power rating and thermal is needed.
Enable and Shutdown
The EN pin is active high. Apply a voltage above 1.1V
ensures the LDO regulator turns on, while the regulator
turns off if the VEN belows 0.4V. The enable circuitry has
typical 50mV hysteresis and deglitching for use with
relatively slowly ramping analog signals. That helps avoid
on-off cycling as a result of small glitches in the VEN signal.
A fast rise-time signal must be used to enable the
RTQ2522A/B if precise turn-on timing is required. If not
used, EN can be connected to either VIN or VBIAS. If EN
is connected to VIN, it should be connected as close as
possible to the largest capacitance on the input to prevent
voltage droops on that line from triggering the enable
circuit.

RTQ2522A/B
Soft-Start
The RTQ2522A/B includes a soft-start feature to prevent
excessive current flow during start-up. When the LDO is
enabled, an internal soft-start current (ISS) charges the
external soft-start capacitor (CSS) to build a ramp-up voltage
internally. The RTQ2522A/B achieve a linear and
monotonic soft-start by tracking the voltage ramp until
the voltage exceeds the internal reference. The soft-start
ramp time can be calculated using Equation 1 :
tSS (s) =
0.8V CSS (F)

Power GOOD
When the output voltage is greater than VIT + VHYS, the
output voltage is considered good and the open-drain
PGOOD pin goes high impedance and is typically pulled
high with external resistor. If VOUT drops below VIT or if
VBIAS drops below 1.9 V, the open-drain output turns on
and pulls the PGOOD output low. The PGOOD pin also
asserts when the device is disabled, OCP or OTP
triggered.
Over-Current Protection
The RTQ2522A/B has built-in over-current protection.
When over current (typ. 3A) is detected, the RTQ2522A/
B foldback and limit the current at typical 2.25A. It allows
the device to supply surges of up to 3A and prevent the
device over-heating if short circuit happened.
Thermal Protection
At higher temperatures, or in cases where internal power
dissipation causes excessive self heating on chip, the
thermal shutdown circuitry will shut down the LDO when
the junction temperature exceeds approximately 160°C.
It will re enable the LDO once the junction temperature
drops back to approximately 140°C. The RTQ2522A/B will
cycle in and out of thermal shutdown without latch-up or
damage until the overstress condition is removed. Long
term overstress (TJ > 125°C) should be avoided as it can
degrade the performance or shorten the life of the part.

RTQ2522A/B
Application Information
The RTQ2522A/B is a low dropout regulator that features
soft-start capability. It provides EN and PGOOD for easily
system sequence control, and built-in over current &
thermal protection for safe operation.
Dropout Voltage
Power Up Sequence Requirement
The RTQ2522A/B supports power on the input VIN,
VBIAS, and EN pins in any order without damage the
device. Generally, connecting the EN and VIN for most
application is acceptable, as long as VIN and VEN is greater
The second, VBIAS dropout voltage is the voltage
difference (VBIAS − VOUT) when VIN and VBIAS pins are
joined together and VOUT starts to decrease. This option
allows the device to be used in applications where an
auxiliary bias voltage is not available or low dropout is not
required. In these applications, VBIAS is suggested be
1.8V above VOUT and attention on power rating and
thermal is needed.
than the EN threshold (typ. = 1.1V) and the input ramp
rate of VIN and VBIAS is faster than the output settled
soft-start ramp rate. If the VIN/BIAS input source ramp
rate is slower than the output settled soft-start time, the
output will track the input supply ramp up level and minus
the dropout voltage until it reaches the settled output voltage
level. For the other case, If EN is connected with VBIAS,
and the provided VIN is present before VBIAS, the output
soft-start will as programmed. While VBIAS and VEN are
present before VIN is applied also the settled soft-start
time has expired, then VOUT tracks VIN ramp up. If the
soft-start time has not expired, output tracks VIN ramp up
until output reaches the value set by the charging softstart capacitor.
Input, Output, and Bias Capacitor Selection
Thermal Considerations
The device is designed to be stable for all available types
and values of output capacitors ≥ 2.2μF. The device is
also stable with multiple capacitors in parallel, which can
be of any type or value. The capacitance required on the
VIN and VBIAS pins strongly depends on the input supply
source impedance. To counteract any inductance in the
input, the minimum recommended capacitor for VIN is 1μF
and minimum recommended capacitor for VBIAS is 0.1μF.
If VIN and VBIAS are connected to the same supply, the
recommended minimum capacitor for VBIAS is 4.7μF. Good
quality, low ESR capacitors should be used on the input;
ceramic X5R and X7R capacitors are preferred. These
capacitors should be placed as close the pins as possible
for optimum performance.
The junction temperature should never exceed the
absolute maximum junction temperature TJ(MAX), listed
under Absolute Maximum Ratings, to avoid permanent
damage to the device. The maximum allowable power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, the PCB layout, the rate of surrounding airflow,
and the difference between the junction and ambient
temperatures. The maximum power dissipation can be
calculated using the following formula :
Because of two power supply inputs VIN and VBIAS and
one VOUT regulator output, there are two Dropout voltages
specified. The first is the VIN Dropout voltage is the voltage
difference (VIN − VOUT) when VOUT starts to decrease
by percent specified in the Electrical Characteristics table.
Adjusting the Output Voltage
The output voltage of the RTQ2522A/B is adjustable from
0.8V to 3.6V by external voltage divider resisters as shown
in Typical Application Circuit. R1 and R2 can be calculated
the output voltage. In order to achieve the maximum
accuracy specifications, R2 should be ≤ 4.99kΩ.

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 continuous operation, the maximum operating junction
temperature indicated under Recommended Operating
Conditions is 125°C. The junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance, θJA, is highly package dependent. For a
WDFN-10L 3x3 package, the thermal resistance, θJA, is
30.5°C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7 high effective-thermalconductivity four-layer test board. For a WQFN-20L 5x5

RTQ2522A/B
package, the thermal resistance, θJA, is 28.2°C/W on a
standard JEDEC 51-7 high effective-thermal-conductivity
four-layer test board. The maximum power dissipation at
TA = 25°C can be calculated as below :
PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (30.5°C/W) = 3.27W for a
WDFN-10L 3x3 package.
PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (28.2°C/W) = 3.54W for a
WQFN-20L 5x5 package.
The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for the fixed TJ(MAX) and the thermal
resistance, θJA. The derating curves in Figure 1 allows
the designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation.

Layout Considerations
For best performance of the RTQ2522A/B, 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 2 and Figure 3 shows the examples for the layout
reference which helps the inductive parasitic components
minimization, load transient reduction and good circuit
stability.
