UM175XX

300mA, Micropower, VLDO Linear Regulator

UM175XX SOT23-5
General Description

The UM175XX series are VLDO (very low dropout) linear regulators designed for low power
portable applications. Typical output noise is only 75μVRMS and maximum dropout is just 90mV
at the load current of 150mA.The internal P-channel MOSFET pass transistor requires no base
current, allowing the device to draw only 100μA during normal operation at the maximum load
current of 300mA.
Other features include high output voltage accuracy, excellent transient response, under voltage
lockout, stability with ultralow ESR ceramic capacitors as small as 1μF, short-circuit and thermal
overload protection and output current limiting.
The UM175XX series are available in a low profile SOT23-5 package.

Pin Function

IN (Pin 1): Power for UM175XX and Load. Power is supplied to the devices through the IN pin.
The IN pin should be locally bypassed to ground if the UM175XX series are more than a few
inches away from another source of bulk capacitance. In general, the output impedance of a
battery rises with frequency, so it is usually advisable to include an input bypass capacitor in
battery-powered circuits. A capacitor in the range of 0.1μF to 1μF is usually sufficient. The
UM175XX series are designed to withstand reverse voltages on the IN pin with respect to both
ground and the output pin. In the case of a reversed input, which can happen if a battery is
plugged in backwards, the UM175XX will act as if there is a large resistor in series with its input
with only a small amount of current flow.
GND (Pin 2): Ground and Heat Sink. Solder to a ground plane or large pad to maximize heat
dissipation.
___________
SHDN (Pin 3): Shutdown, Active Low. This pin is used to put the UM175XX into shutdown. The
___________
SHDN pin cannot be left floating and must be tied to the input pin if not used.
NC (Pin 4): Not Connected.
OUT (Pin 5): Voltage Regulated Output. The OUT pin supplies power to the load. A minimum
output capacitor of 1μF is required to ensure stability. Larger output capacitors may be required
for applications with large transient loads to limit peak voltage transients. See the Applications
Information section for more information on output capacitance.

Applications Information

The UM175XX series are 300mA very low dropout regulators with micropower quiescent current
and shutdown. The maximum dropout is only 90mV at the load current of 150mA. Output voltage
noise is as low as 75μVRMS over a 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth.
In addition to the low quiescent current, the UM175XX regulators incorporate several protection
features which make them ideal for use in battery-powered systems. The devices also include
current limit and thermal overload protection, and will survive an output short circuit indefinitely.
The fast transient response over comes the traditional tradeoff between dropout voltage, quiescent
current and load transient response inherent in most regulators by using a proprietary new
architecture

Output Capacitance and Transient Response

The UM175XX regulators are designed to be stable with a wide range of output capacitors. The
ESR of the output capacitor affects stability, most notably with small capacitors. A minimum
output capacitor of 1μF with an ESR of 0.3Ω or less is recommended to ensure stability. The
UM175XX series are micropower devices and output transient response will be a function of
output capacitance. Larger values of output capacitance decrease the peak deviations and provide
improved transient response for larger load current changes. The shaded region of Figure 1 defines
the region over which the UM175XX regulators are stable. The maximum ESR allowed is 0.3Ω.
High ESR tantalum and electrolytic capacitors may be used, but a low ESR ceramic capacitor
must be in parallel at the output. There is no minimum ESR requirement.

Figure 1
Extra consideration must be given to the use of ceramic capacitors. Ceramic capacitors are
manufactured with a variety of dielectrics, each with different behavior across temperature and
applied voltage. The most common dielectrics used are Z5U, Y5V, X5R and X7R. The Z5U and
Y5V dielectrics are good for providing high capacitances in a small package, but exhibit strong
voltage and temperature coefficients as shown in Figures 2 and 3. When used with a 5V regulator,
a 10μF Y5V capacitor can exhibit an effective value as low as 1μF to 2μF over the operating
temperature range. The X5R and X7R dielectrics result in more stable characteristics and are more
suitable for use as the output capacitor. The X7R type has better stability across temperature,
while the X5R is less expensive and is available in higher values.

Additionally, some ceramic capacitors have a piezoelectric response. A piezoelectric device

generates voltage across its terminals due to mechanical stress, similar to the way a piezoelectric
accelerometer or microphone works. For a ceramic capacitor the stress can be induced by
vibrations in the system or thermal transients. The resulting voltages produced can cause
appreciable amounts of noise, especially when a ceramic capacitor is used for noise bypassing.
