TS5215
300mA Low Noise LDO Voltage Regulator with Enable
Low Power Consumption
Low Drop Out Voltage 0.35V
Fixed and Adjustable Output
Enable Shutdown
General Description
The TS5215 series is an efficient linear voltage regulator with ultra low noise output, very low dropout voltage (typically
17mV at light loads and 350mV at 300mA), and very low power consumption (125uA at 100uA), providing high output
current even when the application requires very low dropout voltage. The Chip Enable (CE) includes a CMOS or TTL
compatible input allows the output to be turned off to prolong battery life. When shutdown, power consumption drops
nearly to zero.
The TS5215 series is included a precision voltage reference, error correction circuit, a current limited output driver,
over temperature shutdown, revered battery protection and a reference bypass pin to improve its already excellent
low-noise performance.
The TS5215 series is available in fixed and adjustable output voltage version in SOT-25, SOT-89-5L and SOP-8
package.

Electrical Characteristics (continued)
Note 1: Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
Note 2: The maximum allowable power dissipation at any Ta is Pd(max) = [ Tj(max) - Ta] +
Өja.
Exceeding the
maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into
thermal shutdown.
Note 3: The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
Note 4: Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total
temperature range.
Note 5: Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Parts are tested
for load regulation in the load range from 1mA to 300mA. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects
are covered by the thermal regulation specification.
Note 6: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its
nominal value measured at 1V differential.
Note 7: Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current plus pass transistor base current. The total current
drawn from the supply is the sum of the load current plus the ground pin current.
Note 8: 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. Specifications are for a 300mA load pulse at Vin=16V for
t=10mS.

Application Information
Enable Input
TS5215 series feature an active-high (>2V) enable (EN)
input that allows ON/OFF control of the regulator.
Current drain reduces to “zero” when the device is
shutdown, with only micro-amperes of leakage current.
The EN is compatible with CMOS logic interfacing. EN
may be directly tied to Vin and pulled up to the
maximum supply voltage.
Most of tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors
are adequate; film types will work. Since many
aluminum electrolytic have electrolytes that freeze at
about –30
o
C, solid tantalums are recommended for
operation below –25
o
C. At lower values of output
current, less output capacitance is required for output
stability. The capacitor can be reduced to 0.47uF for
current below 10mA or 0.33uF for currents below 1mA.
Input Capacitor Requirement
An input capacitor of 1uF or greater is recommended
when the device is more than 10” away from the bulk
AC supply capacitance or when the supply is a battery.
No Load Stability
The TS5215 series will remain stable and in regulation
with no load, unlike many other voltage regulators.
This is especially important in CMOS RAM keep alive
applications.
Reference Bypass Capacitor
Bypass is connected to the internal voltage reference. A
470uF capacitor (Cbypass) connected from Bypass to
Ground quiets this reference, providing a significant
reduction in output noise. Cbypass reduces the
regulator phase margin; when using Cbypass, output
capacitors of 2.2uF or greater are generally required to
maintain stability.
The star up speed of the TS5215 is inversely
proportional to the size of the reference bypass
capacitor. Applications requiring a slow ramp up of
output voltage should consider larger values of
Cbypass. Likewise, if rapid turn on is necessary,
consider omitting Cbypass. If output noise is not a
major concern, omitted Cbypass and leave Bypass
open.
Adjustable Regulator Design
The adjustable regulator versions can be adjusted to a
specific output voltage by using two external resistors
to programming the output voltage anywhere between
1.25 and the 8V maximum operating rating of the
family.
Two resistors are used. Resistors can be quite large
up to 470kΩ, because of the very high input
impedance and low bias current of the sense
comparator, the resistor values are calculated by:
Vout = 1.23V * (R2 / R1 + 1)
Output Capacitor Requirement
The TS5215 series requires an output capacitor to
maintain stability and improve transient response is
necessary. The value of this capacitor is dependent
upon whether a reference bypass capacitor is used.
1uF minimum is recommended when Cbypass is not
used. 2.2uF minimum is recommended when Cbypass
is 470uF. Larger values improve the regulator’s
transient response. The output capacitor value may be
increased without limit.
The output capacitor should have an ESR (effective
series resistance) less than 5Ω and a resonant
frequency above 1MHz. Ultra low ESR capacitors can
cause a low amplitude oscillation on the output and/or
under damped transient response.
A capacitor from Adj to Ground provides greatly
improved noise performance.
Dual Supply Operation
When used in dual supply systems where the regulator
load is returned to a negative supply, the output
voltage must be diode clamped to ground.

Application Information (continues)
Thermal Characteristics
TS5215 series is designed to provide 300mA of
continuous current in a very small package. Maximum
power dissipation can be calculated based on the
output current and the voltage drop across the part. To
determine the maximum power dissipation of the
package, use the junction-ambient thermal resistance
of the device and the following basic equation:
Pd(max) = [ Tj(max) – Ta ] /Θja
Tj(max) is the maximum junction temperature of the
die(125 C),

Θja
is layout dependent, the actual power
dissipation of the regulator circuit can be determined
using the equation:
Pd = ( Vin – Vout ) * Iout + Vin * Ignd
Substituting Pd(max) for Pd and solving for the
operating conditions that are critical to the application
will give the maximum operating conditions for the
regulator circuit. For example, when operating the
TS5215CX533 at room temperature with a minimum
footprint layout, the maximum input voltage for a set
output current can be determined as follows:
Pd(max) = (125
o
C – 25
o
C) / 220
o
C/W
Pd(max) = 455mW
The junction to ambient thermal resistance for the
minimum footprint is 220 C/W, the maximum power
dissipation must not be exceeded for proper operation.
Using the output voltage of 3.3V and an output current
of 300mA, the maximum input voltage can be
determined. Form the electrical characteristics table,
the maximum ground current for 300mA output current
is 2.5mA.
445mW = ( Vin – 3.3V ) * 300mA + Vin * 2.5mA
445mW = Vin * 300mA – 3.3 * 300mA + Vin * 2.5mA
445mW = Vin * 300mA – 990mW + Vin * 2.5mA
1435mW = Vin * 302.5mA
Vin(max) = 4.74v
Therefore, a 3.3V application at 300mA of output
current can accept a maximum input voltage of 4.74V
in a SOT-25 package.
