BCT2028
500mA Low Dropout Linear Regulators
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The BCT2028 series low-power, low-noise,
low-dropout, CMOS linear voltage regulators
operate from a 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage. They
are the perfect choice for low voltage, low power
applications. A low ground current makes this part
attractive for battery operated power systems. The
BCT2028 series also offer ultra-low dropout
voltage to prolong battery life in portable
electronics. Output current minimum limit is
500mA, and over-current protection limit is set at
700mA typical. An external noise bypass capacitor
connected to the device’s BP pin can further
reduce the noise level.
These devices feature a shutdown function and
are offered in active low with auto discharge. The
output voltage is preset to voltages in the range of
1.2V to 3.3V. Other features include a low
shutdown current, fold-back current limit and
thermal shutdown protection.
The BCT2028 is available in Green SOT23-5
packages. It operates over an ambient
temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

APPLICATION NOTE
Bypass Capacitor and Low Noise
Connecting a 10nF between the BP pin and GND pin significantly reduces noise on the regulator output, it
is critical that the capacitor connection between the BP pin and GND pin be direct and PCB traces should
be as short as possible. There is a relationship between the bypass capacitor value and the LDO
regulator turn on time. DC leakage on this pin can affect the LDO regulator output noise and voltage
regulation performance.
Enable Function
The BCT2028 features an LDO regulator enable/disable function. To assure the LDO regulator will switch
on; the EN turn on control level must be greater than 1.5 volts. The LDO regulator will go into the
shutdown mode when the voltage on the EN pin falls below 0.3 volts. For to protect the system, the
BCT2028 have a quick discharge function. If the enable function is not needed in a specific application, it
may be tied to VIN to keep the LDO regulator in a continuously on state.
Programming the BCT2028 Adjustable LDO regulator
The output voltage of the BCT2028 adjustable regulator is programmed using an external resistor divider
as show in Figure as below. The output voltage is calculated using equation as below:
R1
VOUT VREF 1
R2
Where:
VREF=1.207V typ (the internal reference voltage)
Resistors R1 and R2 should be chosen for approximately 50uA divider current. Lower value resistors can
be used for improved noise performance, but the solution consumes more power. Higher resistor values
should be avoided as leakage current into/out of FB across R1/R2 creates an offset voltage that artificially
increases/decreases the feedback voltage and thus erroneously decrease/increases VOUT.
Thermal Considerations
Thermal protection limits power dissipation in BCT2028. When the operation junction temperature
exceeds 150°C, the OTP circuit starts the thermal shutdown function turn the pass element off. The pass
element turns on again after the junction temperature cools by 15°C.

BCT2028
500mA, Low Dropout,
Linear Regulators
For continue operation, do not exceed absolute maximum operation junction temperature 125°C. The
power dissipation definition in device is:
PD = (VIN−VOUT) ×IOUT + VIN×IQ
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 TJ(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 of BCT2028, 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 (θ JA is layout
dependent) for SOT-23-5 package is 250°C/W, on standard JEDEC 51-3 thermal test board. The
maximum power dissipation at TA= 25°C can be calculated by following formula:
PD(MAX) = (125°C−25°C)/250 = 400mW (SOT-23-5)
The maximum power dissipation depends on operating ambient temperature for fixed TJ(MAX) and
thermal resistance θJA. It is also useful to calculate the junction of temperature of the BCT2028 under a
set of specific conditions. In this example let the Input voltage VIN=3.3V, the output current Io=500mA and
the case temperature TA=40°C measured by a thermal couple during operation. The power dissipation for
the Vo=2.8V version of the BCT2028 can be calculated as:
PD = (3.3V−2.8V) ×500mA+3.6V×100uA
=250mW
And the junction temperature, TJ, can be calculated as follows:
TJ=TA+PD×θJA=40°C+0.25W×250°C/W
=40°C+62.5°C=102.5°C
