MIC94300 200mA Switch with Ripple BlockerTM Technology General Description Features The MIC94300 is an integrated load switch that incorporates Micrel's Ripple BlockerTM active filter technology. The MIC94300 provides high-frequency ripple attenuation (switching noise rejection) for applications where a switching noise cannot be tolerated by sensitive downstream circuits such as in RF applications. A lowvoltage logic enable pin disconnects the pass element and places the MIC94300 into a low current-shutdown state when disabled. The MIC94300 operates from an input voltage of 1.8V to 3.6V, allowing true load switching of low-voltage power rails in any electronic device. The output voltage (VOUT) is set at a fixed drop (typically 170mV) from the input voltage (VOUT = VIN - 170mV). This maintains high efficiency independent of given load conditions and currents. Packaged in a 0.88mm x 0.88mm 4-ball CSP or 4-pin 1.2mm x 1.6mm Thin MLF(R) package, the MIC94300 has a junction operating temperature range of -40C to +125C.

MIC94300 Functional Characteristics February 2012 8 M9999-020312-A Micrel, Inc. MIC94300 Application Information Enable/Shutdown The MIC94300 comes with an active-high enable pin that allows the Ripple BlockerTM to be disabled. Forcing the enable pin low disables the MIC94300 and sends it into a "zero" off mode current state. In this state, current consumed by the MIC94300 goes nearly to zero. Forcing the enable pin high enables the output voltage. The active-high enable pin uses CMOS technology and the enable pin cannot be left floating; a floating enable pin may cause an indeterminate state on the output. The MIC94300 utilizes Ripple BlockerTM technology to integrate a load switch with a high-performance active filter. The MIC94300 includes a low-voltage logic enable pin, and is fully protected from damage due to fault conditions, offering linear current limiting and thermal shutdown. Input Capacitor The MIC94300 is a high-performance, high-bandwidth device. An input capacitor of 470nF is required from the input to ground to provide stability. Low-ESR ceramic capacitors provide optimal performance at a minimum of space. Additional high-frequency capacitors, such as small-valued NPO dielectric-type capacitors, help filter out high-frequency noise and are good practice in any RF-based circuit. X5R or X7R dielectrics are recommended for the input capacitor. Y5V dielectrics lose most of their capacitance over temperature and are therefore, not recommended. Thermal Considerations The MIC94300 is designed to provide 200mA of continuous current in a very-small package. Maximum ambient operating temperature can be calculated based on the output current and the voltage drop across the part which is fixed at 170mV typical, 250mV worst case. For example if the input voltage is 2.75V, the output voltage is 2.5V, and the output current = 200mA. The actual power dissipation of the Ripple BlockerTM can be determined using the equation: Output Capacitor The MIC94300 requires an output capacitor of 0.47F or greater to maintain stability. For optimal ripple rejection performance a 1F capacitor is recommended. The design is optimized for use with low-ESR ceramic-chip capacitors. High-ESR capacitors are not recommended because they may cause high-frequency oscillation. The output capacitor can be increased, but performance has been optimized for a 1F ceramic output capacitor and does not improve significantly with larger capacitance. X7R/X5R dielectric type ceramic capacitors are recommended because of their temperature performance. X7R type capacitors change capacitance by 15% over their operating temperature range and are the most stable type of ceramic capacitors. Z5U and Y5V dielectric capacitors change value by as much as 50% and 60%, respectively, over their operating temperature ranges. To use a ceramic-chip capacitor with Y5V dielectric, the value must be much higher than an X7R ceramic capacitor to ensure the same minimum capacitance over the equivalent operating temperature range. PD = (VIN - VOUT1) IOUT + VIN IGND Because this device is CMOS and the ground current is typically <100A over the load range, the power dissipation contributed by the ground current is <1% and can be ignored for this calculation: PD = (2.75V - 2.5V) x 200mA PD = 0.05W To determine the maximum ambient operating temperature of the package, use the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the device and the following basic equation: TJ(MAX) - TA PD(MAX) = JA No Load Stability The MIC94300 will remain stable with no load. This is especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive applications. February 2012 TJ(max) = 125C, the maximum junction temperature of the die, JA thermal resistance = 250C/W for the YCS package and 173C/W for the YMT package. 9 M9999-020312-A Micrel, Inc. MIC94300 Substituting PD for PD(max) and solving for the ambient operating temperature will give the maximum operating conditions for the regulator circuit. The maximum power dissipation must not be exceeded for proper operation. For example, when operating the MIC94300YMT at an input voltage of 2.75V and 200mA load with a minimum footprint layout, the maximum ambient operating temperature TA can be determined as follows: 0.05W = (125C - TA)/(173C/W) TA = 116C Therefore the maximum ambient operating temperature of 116C is allowed in a 1.2mm x 1.6mm MLF(R) package.
