Description
The A6300 offers a high level of integration by combining
voltage regulation and voltage monitoring. The voltage
regulator has a low dropout ( typ. 380 mV at 100 mA )
and a low quiescent current (100
µ
A). The quiescent
current increases only slightly in dropout prolonging
battery life. Built-in protection includes a positive transient
absorber for up to 60 V (load dump) and the ability to
survive an unregulated input voltage of –20 V (reverse
battery). The INPUT may be connected to ground or a
reverse voltage without reverse current flow from the
OUTPUT to the INPUT. Upon the OUTPUT voltage rising
above V
TH
, the reset output, whether RES or RES, will
remain active (RES = 1, RES = 0) for an additional time
of 50 ms. This allows the system voltage and the
oscillator of the microprocessor to stabilize before they
becomes fully active. When V
OUTPUT
falls below V
TH
, the
reset output goes active. Threshold voltage can be
obtained in different versions: 2 V, 2.4 V, 2.8 V, 3.5 V, 4 V.

Handling Procedures
This device has built-in protection against high static
voltages or electric fields; however, anti-static precau-
tions must be taken as for any other CMOS component.
Unless otherwise specified, proper operation can only
occur when all terminal voltages are kept within the
supply voltage range. Unused inputs must always be
tied to a defined logic voltage level.
The maximum operating temperature is confirmed by
sampling
at
initial
device
qualification. In
production, all devices are tested at + 85
°
C.
2)
Full operation quaranteed. To achieve the load regu-
lation specified in Table 3 a 22
µ
F capacitor or
greater is required on the INPUT, see Fig. 6. The 22
µ
F must have an effective resistance
≤
5
Ω
and a
resonant frequency above 500 kHz.
3)
A 10
µ
F load capacitor and a 100 nF decoupling capa-
citor are required on the regulator OUTPUT for
stability. The 10
µ
F must have an effective series
resistance of
≤
5
Ω
and a resonant frequency above 500
kHz.
4)
The OUTPUT current will not apply for all possible
combinations of input voltage and output current.
Combinations that would require the A6300 to work
above the maximum junction temperature (+125
°
C )
must be avoided.

If INPUT is connected to V
SS
, no reverse current will flow from the OUTPUT to the INPUT, however the supply current specified
will be sank by the OUTPUT to supply the A6300.
The OUTPUT voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range.
Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes in OUTPUT voltage
due to heating effects are covered in the specification for thermal regulation.
The dropout voltage is defined as the INPUT to OUTPUT differential, measured with the input voltage equal to 5.0 V.
Thermal regulation is defined as the change in OUTPUT voltage at a time T after a change in power dissipation is applied,
excluding load or line regulation effects.

Name
The A6300 will remain stable and in regulation with no
external load and the dropout voltage is typically con-
stant as the input voltage fall to below its minimum level
(see Table 2). These features are especially important in
CMOS RAM keep-alive applications.
Voltage Monitoring
The power-on reset and the power-down reset are gene-
rated internally with a voltage comparison of the voltage
reference and the resistor divider (see Fig.4).
At power-up the reset output (RES) is held low (see
Fig. 3). After OUTPUT reaches V
TH
, the RES output is
held low for an additional power-on-reset (POR) delay
t
POR
(typically 50 ms ).The power-on reset delay
prevents repeated toggling of RES even if V
OUTPUT
and
the INPUT voltage drops out and recovers. The POR
delay allows the microprocessor’s crystal oscillator time
to stabilize and to ensure correct recognition of the reset
signal to the microprocessor.
The RES output goes active low generating the power-
down reset whenever V
OUTPUT
falls below V
TH
. The sensi-
tivity or reaction time of the internal comparator to the
voltage level on V
IN
is typically 70
µ
s.
Functional Description
Voltage Regulator
The A6300 has a 5 V
±
2%, 100 mA, low dropout volt-
age regulator. The low supply current (typ.100
µ
A) mak-
es the A6300 particularly suited to automotive systems
then remain energized 24 hours a day. The input voltage
range is 2.3 V to 26 V for operation and the input protec-
tion includes both reverse battery ( 20 V below ground)
and load dump (positive transients up to 60 V). There is
no reverse current flow from the OUTPUT to the INPUT
when the INPUT equals V
SS
.This feature is important for
systems which need to implement (with capacitance) a
minimum power supply hold-up time in the event of
power failure. To achieve good load regulation a 22
µ
F
capacitor (or greater ) is needed on the INPUT (see
Fig. 5). Tantalum or aluminium electrolytics are adequate for
the 22
µ
F capacitor; film types will work but are relatively
expensive. Many aluminium electrolytics have electroly-
tes that freeze at about –30
°
C, so tantalums are
recommended for operation below –25
°
C. The important
parameters of the 22
µ
F capacitor are an effective series
resistance of
≤
5
Ω
and a resonant frequency above
500 kHz.
A 10
µ
F capacitor (or greater) and a 100 nF capacitor
are required on the OUTPUT to prevent oscillations due
to instability. The specification of the 10
µ
F capacitor is
as per the 22
µ
F capacitor on the INPUT (see previous
paragraph).
Temperature Consideration
Care must be taken not to exceed the maximum junction
temperature (+ 125
°
C). The power dissipation within
the A6300 is given by the formula:
T
TOTAL
= (V
INPUT
– V
OUTPUT
) * I
OUTPUT
+ (V
INPUT
) * I
SS
The maximum continuous power dissipation at a given
temperature can be calculated using the formula:
P
max
= ( 125
°
C – T
A
) / R
th(j-a)
where R
th(j-a)
is the termal resistance from the junction
to the ambient and is specified in Table 2. Note the R
th(j-a)
given in Table 2 assumes that the package is soldered
to a PCB. The above formula for maximum power dissi-
pation assumes a constant load(i.e.
≥
100 s). The tran-
sient thermal resistance for a single pulse is much lower
than the continuous value. For example the A6300 in
DIP8 package will have an effective thermal resistance
from the junction to the ambient of about 10
°
C/W for
a single 100 ms pulse.
