MIC2920A/29201/29202/29204
400mA Low-Dropout Voltage Regulator
General Description
The MIC2920A family are “bulletproof,” efficient voltage regu-
lators with very low dropout voltage (typically 40mV at light
loads and 370mV at 250mA), and very low quiescent current
(140µA typical). The quiescent current of the MIC2920A in-
creases only slightly in dropout, prolonging battery life. Key
MIC2920A features include protection against reversed bat-
tery, fold-back current limiting, and automotive “load dump”
protection (60V positive transient).
The MIC2920 is available in several configurations. The
MIC2920A-x.x devices are three pin fixed voltage regulators
available in 3.3V, 4.85V, 5V, and 12V outputs. The MIC29201
is a fixed regulator offering a logic compatible ON/OFF (shut-
down) input and an error flag output. This flag may also be
used as a power-on reset signal. A logic-compatible shutdown
input is provided on the adjustable MIC29202 which allows
the regulator to be switched on and off. The MIC29204 8-pin
SOIC adjustable regulator includes both shutdown and error
flag pins and may be pin-strapped for 5V output or programmed
from 1.24V to 26V using two external resistors.

Devices are ESD protected; however, handling precautions are recommended.
Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Electrical specifications do not apply when
operating the device outside of its rated operating conditions. The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum
junction temperature, T
J (MAX)
, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θ
JA
, and the ambient temperature, T
A
. The maximum allowable
power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated using: P
(MAX)
= (T
J(MAX)
– T
A
) / θ
JA.
Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. The junction to ambient thermal
resistance of the MIC29204BM is 160°C/W mounted on a PC board.
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 low duty cycle pulse testing. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects
are covered by the thermal regulation specification.
Dropout Voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100mV below its nominal value measured at
1V differential. At low values of programmed output voltage, the minimum input supply voltage of 4.3V over temperature must be taken into
account. The MIC2920A operates down to 2V of input at reduced output current at 25°C.
Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of the load current plus the ground
pin current.
The MIC2920A features fold-back current limiting. The short circuit (V
OUT
= 0V) current limit is less than the maximum current with normal
output voltage.
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 200mA load pulse at V
IN
= 20V (a 4W pulse) for T = 10ms.

Comparator thresholds are expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the Adjust terminal below the nominal reference voltage measured
at 6V input. To express these thresholds in terms of output voltage change, multiply by the error amplifier gain = V
OUT
/V
REF
= (R1 + R2)/R2.
For example, at a programmed output voltage of 5V, the Error output is guaranteed to go low when the output drops by 95 mV x 5V/1.235 V
= 384 mV. Thresholds remain constant as a percent of VOUT as VOUT is varied, with the dropout warning occurring at typically 5% below
nominal, 7.7% guaranteed.

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.
Maximum positive supply voltage of 60V must be of limited duration (< 100ms) and duty cycle ( ≤ 1%). The maximum continuous supply
voltage is 26V.
