VOLTAGE REGULATOR WITH
EXTERNAL POWER TRANSISTOR
RN5RG SERIES
OUTLINE
NO. EA-020-130521
The RN5RG Series are CMOS-based voltage regulator ICs with an external power transistor with high output
voltage accuracy and lowest supply current. Each of these voltage regulator ICs consists of a voltage reference
unit, an error amplifier and resistors.
These ICs are suitable for constructing regulators with ultra-low dropout voltage and an output current in the
range of several tens mA to several hundreds mA.
Furthermore, these ICs have a chip enable function, so that the supply current on standby can be minimized.
Since the package for these ICs is SOT-23-5 (Mini-mold) package, high density mounting of the ICs
on boards is possible.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Absolute Maximum ratings are threshold limit values that must not be exceeded even for an instant under any
conditions. Moreover, such values for any two items must not be reached simultaneously. Operation above
these absolute maximum ratings may cause degradation or permanent damage to the device. These are stress
ratings only and do not necessarily imply functional operation below these limits.

The output current depends upon the performance of External PNP Transistor. Use External PNP Transistor of a low saturation type, with an h
FE

With respect to Test Circuits, refer to the Typical Application.

2.Base Resistor R2
EXT Pin of these ICs is protected by a current limit circuit from the destruction caused by excess current.
However, since this current limit circuit is provided for the purpose of protecting the IC, use a resistor R2 for the
protection of the External Transistor, although this IC can be operated without such a resistor. It is required that
the resistance of the Resistor R2 be determined with the input voltage, output voltage,output current, tempera-
ture, and the h
FE
value taken into consideration and the dispersion of these values. Before making such a deter-
mination, check the characteristics by calculating the respective values by using the following formula :

3.Phase Compensation
In these ICs, phase compensation is made for securing stable operation even when the load current is varied.
For this purpose, be sure to use a capacitor C
L
(tantalum type) with a capacitance of 10µF or more and a resistor
R1 with a resistance of about 10kΩ between the base and the emitter.There may be the case the loop oscillation
takes place when a tantalum capacitor C
L
with a large ESR is used, so select the C
L
carefully including the fre-
quency characteristics.
