SC4205IS-2.5TR

Very Low Dropout 1 Amp Regulator With Enable POWER MANAGEMENT Description The SC4205 is a high performance positive voltage regulator designed for use in applications requiring very low dropout voltage at up to 1 Amp. Since it has superior dropout characteristics compared to regular LDOs, it can be used to supply 2.5V on motherboards or 2.8V on peripheral cards from the 3.3V supply thus allowing the elimination of costly heatsinks. Additionally, the SC4205 has an enable pin to further reduce power dissipation while shut down. The SC4205 provides excellent regulation over variations in line, load and temperature. The SC4205 is available in the SOIC-8EDP package with internally preset outputs that are also adjustable using external resistors.

It provides a very simple, low cost solution that uses very little pcb real estate. Additional features include an enable pin to allow for a very low power consumption standby mode, and a fully adjustable output. Component Selection Input capacitor: a 4 .7µF ceramic capacitor is recommended. This allows for the device being some distance from any bulk capacitance on the rail. Additionally, input droop due to load transients is reduced, improving load transient response. Additional capacitance may be added if required by the application. Output capacitor: a minimum bulk capacitance of 2.2µF, along with a 0.1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor is recommended. Increasing the bulk capacitance will improve the overall transient response. The use of multiple lower value ceramic capacitors in parallel to achieve the desired bulk capacitance will not cause stability issues. Although designed for use with ceramic output capacitors, the SC4205 is extremely tolerant of output capacitor ESR values and thus will also work comfortably with tantalum output capacitors. For reference, the phase-margin contour of Figure 1 can be used to choose an appropriate output capacitor for a given stability requirement. Noise immunity: in very electrically noisy environments, it is recommended that 0.1µF ceramic capacitors be placed from IN to GND and OUT to GND as close to the device pins as possible. External voltage selection resistors: the use of 1% resistors, and designing for a current flow ≥ 10µA is recommended to ensure a well regulated output (thus R2 ≤ 120kΩ). Thermal Considerations The power dissipation in the SC4205 is approximately equal to the product of the output current and the input to output voltage differential: PD ≈ (VIN − VOUT )• I O The absolute worst-case dissipation is given by: PD ( MAX ) = ( ( MAX ) − VOUT( MIN ) )• I O ( MAX ) + VIN ( MAX ) • I Q ( MAX ) VIN For a typical scenario, VIN = 3.3V ± 5%, VOUT = 2.8V and IO = 1A, therefore: VIN(MAX) = 3.465V, VOUT(MIN) = 2.744V and IQ(MAX) = 1.75mA, Thus PD(MAX) = 727mW. Using this figure, and assuming TA(MAX) = 70°C, we can calculate the maximum thermal impedance allowable to maintain TJ ≤ 150°C: RTH ( J − A)( MAX ) = (T J ( MAX ) − TA( MAX ) ) PD ( MAX ) = (150 − 70) = 110°C / W .727 This should be achievable for the SOIC-8EDP package using pcb copper area to aid in conducting the heat away, such as one square inch of copper connected to the pins of the device. Internal ground/power planes and air flow will also assist in removing heat. For higher ambient temperatures it may be necessary to use additional copper area.  2004 Semtech Corp. 6 www.semtech.com SC4205 POWER MANAGEMENT Outline Drawing - SOIC-8EDP Land Pattern - SOIC-8EDP  2004 Semtech Corp. 7 www.semtech.com SC4205 POWER MANAGEMENT Contact Information Semtech Corporation Power Management Products Division 200 Flynn Road, Camarillo, CA 93012 Phone: (805)498-2111 FAX (805)498-3804  2004 Semtech Corp. 8 www.semtech.com
