Functional Description
Designed utilizing CMOS process technology, the
FAN2508/09 family of products are carefully optimized for
use in compact battery-powered devices, offering a unique
combination of low power consumption, extremely low
dropout voltages, high tolerance for a variety of output
capacitors, and the ability to disable the output to less than
1µA under user control. In the circuit, a difference amplifier
controls the current through a series-pass P-Channel
MOSFET, comparing the load voltage at the output with an
onboard low-drift bandgap reference. The series resistance
of the pass P-Channel MOSFET is approximately 1
Ω
,
resulting in an unusually low dropout voltage under load
when compared to older bipolar pass-transistor designs.
Protection circuitry is provided onboard for overload condi-
tions. In conditions where the device reaches temperatures
exceeding the specified maximums, an onboard circuit shuts
down the output, where it remains suspended until it has
cooled before re-enabling. The user is also free to shut down
the device using the Enable control pin at any time.
Careful design of the output regulator amplifier assures loop
stability over a wide range of ESR values in the external
output capacitor. A wide range of values and types can be
accomodated, allowing the user to select a capacitor meeting
his space, cost, and performance requirements, and enjoy
reliable operation over temperature, load, and tolerance
variations.

FAN2508/FAN2509
PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
Depending on the model selected, a number of control and
status functions are available to enhance the operation of the
LDO regulator. An Enable pin, available on all devices,
allows the user to shut down the regulator output to conserve
power, reducing supply current to less than 1µA. The
adjustable-voltage versions of the device utilize pin 4 to
connect to an external voltage divider which feeds back to
the regulator error amplifier, thereby setting the voltage as
desired. Two other functions are available at pin 4 in the
fixed-voltage versions: in noise-sensitive applications, an
external Bypass capacitor connection is provided that allows
the user to achieve optimal noise performance at the output,
while the Error output functions as a diagnostic flag to
indicate that the output voltage has dropped more than 5%
below the nominal fixed voltage.
Bypass Capacitor (FAN2508 Only)
In the fixed-voltage configuration, connecting a capacitor
between the bypass pin and ground can significantly reduce
noise on the output. Values ranging from 470pF to 10nF can
be used, depending on the sensitivity to output noise in the
application.
At the high-impedance Bypass pin, care must be taken in the
circuit layout to minimize noise pickup, and capacitors must
be selected to minimize current loading (leakage). Noise
pickup from external sources can be considerable. Leakage
currents into the Bypass pin will directly affect regulator
accuracy and should be kept as low as possible; thus, high-
quality ceramic and film types are recommended for their
low leakage characteristics. Cost-sensitive applications not
concerned with noise can omit this capacitor.
Applications Information
Control Functions
External Capacitors – Selection
The FAN2508/09 allows the user to utilize a wide variety of
capacitors compared to other LDO products. An innovative
design approach offers significantly reduced sensitivity to
ESR (Effective Series Resistance), which degrades regulator
loop stability in older designs. While the improvements fea-
tured in the FAN2508/09 family greatly simplify the design
task, capacitor quality still must be considered if the designer
is to achieve optimal circuit performance. In general,
ceramic capacitors offer superior ESR performance, at a
lower cost and a smaller case size than tantalums. Those with
X7R or Y5Vdielectric offer the best temperature coefficient
characteristics. The combination of tolerance and variation
over temperature in some capacitor types can result in signif-
icant variations, resulting in unstable performance over rated
conditions.
Enable Pin
Applying a voltage of 0.4V or less at the Enable pin will
disable the output, reducing the quiescent output current to
less than 1µA, while a voltage of 2.0V or greater will enable
the device. If this shutdown function is not needed, the pin
can simply be connected to the V
IN
pin. Allowing this pin to
float will cause erratic operation.
Error Flag (FAN2509 only)
To indicate conditions such as input voltage dropout
(low V
IN
), overheating, or overloading (excessive output cur-
rent), the ERR pin indicates a fault condition. It is an open-
drain output which is HIGH when the voltage at V
OUT
is
greater than 95% of the nominal rated output voltage and
LOW when V
OUT
is less than 95% or the rated output volt-
age, as specified in the error trip level characteristics.
A logic pullup resistor of 100K
Ω
is recommended at this
output. The pin can be left disconnected if unused.
Thermal Protection
The FAN2508/09 is designed to supply high peak output cur-
rents of up to 1A for brief periods, however this output load
will cause the device temperature to increase and exceed
maximum ratings due to power dissipation. During output
overload conditions, when the die temperature exceeds the
shutdown limit temperature of 150°C, onboard thermal
protection will disable the output until the temperature drops
below this limit, at which point the output is then re-enabled.
During a thermal shutdown situation the user may assert the
power-down function at the Enable pin, reducing power
consumption to the minimum level I
GND
· V
IN
.
Input Capacitor
An input capacitor of 2.2µF (nominal value) or greater,
connected between the Input pin and Ground, located in
close proximity to the device, will improve transient
response and noise rejection. Higher values will offer supe-
rior input ripple rejection and transient response. An input
capacitor is recommended when the input source, either a
battery or a regulated AC voltage, is located far from the
device. Any good quality ceramic, tantalum, or metal film
capacitor will give acceptable performance, however tanta-
lum capacitors with a surge current rating appropriate to the
application must be selected to avoid catastrophic failure.
Output Capacitor
An output capacitor is required to maintain regulator loop
stability. Unlike many other LDO regulators, the
FAN2508/09 family of products are nearly insensitve to
output capacitor ESR. Stable operation will be achieved with
a wide variety of capacitors with ESR values ranging from
10m
Ω
to 10
Ω
or more. Tantalum or aluminum electrolytic,
or multilayer ceramic types can all be used. A nominal value
of at least 1µF is recommended.

Thermal Characteristics
The FAN2508/09 is designed to supply 50mA at the
specified output voltage with an operating die (junction)
temperature of up to 125°C. Once the power dissipation and
thermal resistance is known, the maximum junction
temperature of the device can be calculated. While the power
dissipation is calculated from known electrical parameters,
the thermal resistance is a result of the thermal characteris-
tics of the compact SOT23-5 surface-mount package and the
surrounding PC Board copper to which it is mounted.
The power dissipation is equal to the product of the input-to-
output voltage differential and the output current plus the
ground current multiplied by the input voltage, or:

Operation of Adjustable Version

pin ADJ which allows the user to select an output voltage
ranging from 1.8V to near V

divider. The voltage V

is dependent on the surrounding PC
board layout and can be empirically obtained. While the
θ
JC
(junction-to-case) of the SOT23-5 package is specified at
130°C /W, the
θ
JA
of the minimum PWB footprint will be at
least 235°C /W. This can be improved upon by providing a
heat sink of surrounding copper ground on the PWB.
Depending on the size of the copper area, the resulting
θ
JA
can range from approximately 180°C /W for one square inch
to nearly 130°C /W for 4 square inches. The addition of
backside copper with through-holes, stiffeners, and other
enhancements can also aid in reducing this value. The heat
contributed by the dissipation of other devices located
nearby must be included in design considerations.
Once the limiting parameters in these two relationships have
been determined, the design can be modified to ensure that
the device remains within specified operating conditions.
If overload conditions are not considered, it is possible for
General PWB Layout Considerations
To achieve the full performance of the device, careful circuit
layout and grounding technique must be observed. Establish-
ing a small local ground, to which the GND pin, the output
and bypass capacitors are connected, is recommended, while
the input capacitor should be grounded to the main ground
plane. The quiet local ground is then routed back to the main
ground plane using feedthrough vias. In general, the high-
frequency compensation components (input, bypass, and
output capacitors) should be located as close to the device as
possible. The proximity of the output capacitor is especially
important to achieve optimal noise compensation from the
onboard error amplifier, especially during high load condi-
tions. A large copper area in the local ground will provide the
heat sinking discussed above when high power dissipation
significantly increases the temperature of the device.
Component-side copper provides significantly better thermal
performance for this surface-mount device, compared to that
obtained when using only copper planes on the underside.
