The permissible power dissipation for any package is a measure of the capability of the device to pass heat from
the power source, the junctions of the IC, to the ultimate heat sink, the ambient environment. Thus the power
dissipation is dependent on the ambient temperature and the thermal resistance across the various interfaces
between the die and ambient air. As stated in the Operating Ratings (1), the allowable power dissipation for the
device in a given package can be calculated using the equation:
(1)
The actual power dissipation across the device can be represented by the following equation:
(2)
This establishes the relationship between the power dissipation allowed due to thermal consideration, the voltage
drop across the device, and the continuous current capability of the device. These two equations should be used
to determine the optimum operating conditions for the device in the application.
EXTERNAL CAPACITORS
Like any low-dropout regulator, the LP5904 requires external capacitors for regulator stability. The LP5904 is
specifically designed for portable applications requiring minimum board space and smallest components. These
capacitors must be correctly selected for good performance.
INPUT CAPACITOR
An input capacitor is required for stability. The input capacitor should be at least equal to, or greater than, the
output capacitor for good load transient performance. At least a 1.0 µF capacitor has to be connected between
the LP5904 input pin and ground for stable operation over full load current range. Basically, it is ok to have more
output capacitance than input, as long as the input is at least 1.0 µF.
This capacitor must be located a distance of not more than 1cm from the input pin and returned to a clean
analog ground. Any good quality ceramic, tantalum, or film capacitor may be used at the input.
NOTE
Important: To ensure stable operation it is essential that good PCB practices are
employed to minimize ground impedance and keep input inductance low. If these
conditions cannot be met, or if long leads are to be used to connect the battery or other
power source to the LP5904, then it is recommended to increase the input capacitor to at
least 10 µF. Also, tantalum capacitors can suffer catastrophic failures due to surge current
when connected to a low-impedance source of power (like a battery or a very large
capacitor). If a tantalum capacitor is used at the input, it must be specified by the
manufacturer to have a surge current rating sufficient for the application. There are no
requirements for the ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) on the input capacitor, but
tolerance and temperature coefficient must be considered when selecting the capacitor to
ensure the capacitance will remain 1.0 µF ±30% over the entire operating temperature
range.
OUTPUT CAPACITOR
The LP5904 is designed specifically to work with a very small ceramic output capacitor, typically 1.0 µF. A
ceramic capacitor (dielectric types X5R or X7R) in the 0.5 µF to 10 µF range, and with ESR between 5mΩto 500
mΩ, is suitable in the LP5904 application circuit. For this device the output capacitor should be connected
between the VOUT pin and a good ground connection.
(1) In applications where high power dissipation and/or poor package thermal resistance is present, the maximum ambient temperature may
have to be derated. Maximum ambient temperature (TA-MAX) is dependent on the maximum operating junction temperature (TJ-MAX-
OP = 125°C), the maximum power dissipation of the device in the application (PD-MAX), and the junction-to ambient thermal resistance
of the part/package in the application θJA), as given by the following equation: TA-MAX = TJ-MAX-OP (θJA × PD-MAX). See
APPLICATION INFORMATION.

It may also be possible to use tantalum or film capacitors at the device output, VOUT, but these are not as
attractive for reasons of size and cost (see CAPACITOR CHARACTERISTICS below).
The output capacitor must meet the requirement for the minimum value of capacitance and have an ESR value
that is within the range 5mΩto 500 mΩfor stability.
REMOTE CAPACITOR OPERATION
The LP5904 requires at least a 1µF capacitor at output pin, but there is no strict requirements about the location
of the capacitor in regards the LDO output pin. In practical designs the output capacitor may be located some 5-
10 cm away from the LDO. This means that there is no need to have a special capacitor close to the output pin if
there is already respective capacitor(s) in the system (like a capacitor at the input of supplied part). The Remote
Capacitor feature helps user to minimize the number of capacitors in the system.
As a good design practice, it is good to keep the wiring parasitic inductance at a minimum, which means to use
as wide as possible traces from the LDO output to the capacitor(s), keeping the LDO trace layer as close as
possible to ground layer and avoiding vias on the path. If there is a need to use vias, implement as many as
possible vias between the connection layers. The recommendation is to keep parasitic wiring inductance less
than 35 nH. For the applications with fast load transients, it is recommended to use an input capacitor equal to or
larger to the sum of the capacitance at the output node for the best load transient performance.
CAPACITOR CHARACTERISTICS
The LP5904 is designed to work with ceramic capacitors on the input and output to take advantage of the
benefits they offer. For capacitance values in the range of 0.5 µF to 10 µF, ceramic capacitors are the smallest,
least expensive and have the lowest ESR values, thus making them best for eliminating high frequency noise.
The ESR of a typical 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor is in the range of 20 mΩto 40 mΩ, which easily meets the ESR
requirement for stability for the LP5904.
The temperature performance of ceramic capacitors varies by type and manufacturer. Most large value ceramic
capacitors (2.2 µF) are manufactured with Z5U or Y5V temperature characteristics, which results in the
capacitance dropping by more than 50% as the temperature goes from 25°C to 85°C.
A better choice for temperature coefficient in a ceramic capacitor is X7R. This type of capacitor is the most stable
and holds the capacitance within ±15% over the temperature range. Tantalum capacitors are less desirable than
ceramic for use as output capacitors because they are more expensive when comparing equivalent capacitance
and voltage ratings in the 0.5 µF to 10 µF range.
Another important consideration is that tantalum capacitors have higher ESR values than equivalent size
ceramics. This means that while it may be possible to find a tantalum capacitor with an ESR value within the
stable range, it would have to be larger in capacitance (which means bigger and more costly) than a ceramic
capacitor with the same ESR value. It should also be noted that the ESR of a typical tantalum will increase about
2:1 as the temperature goes from 25°C down to –40°C, so some guard band must be allowed.
NO-LOAD STABILITY
The LP5904 will remain stable and in regulation with no external load.
ENABLE CONTROL
The LP5904 may be switched ON or OFF by a logic input at the ENABLE pin. A high voltage at this pin will turn
the device on. When the enable pin is low, the regulator output is off and the device typically consumes 3nA.
However, if the application does not require the shutdown feature, the VEN pin can be tied to VIN to keep the
regulator output permanently on.
A 1MΩpulldown resistor ties the VEN input to ground, this ensures that the device will remain off when the
enable pin is left open circuit. To ensure proper operation, the signal source used to drive the VEN input must be
able to swing above and below the specified turn-on/off voltage thresholds listed in the Electrical Characteristics
section under VIL and VIH.
DSBGA MOUNTING
The DSBGA package requires specific mounting techniques, which are detailed in Texas Instruments Application
Note AN-1112 (SNVA009).

For best results during assembly, alignment ordinals on the PC board may be used to facilitate placement of the
DSBGA device.
DSBGA LIGHT SENSITIVITY
Exposing the DSBGA device to direct light may cause incorrect operation of the device. Light sources such as
halogen lamps can affect electrical performance if they are situated in proximity to the device.
Light with wavelengths in the red and infrared part of the spectrum have the most detrimental effect; thus, the
fluorescent lighting used inside most buildings has very little effect on performance.
