Like other regulators the SMS116 series also includes internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and is able to withstand temporary power-up with mirror-image insertion. The SMS116 is offered in the 3-pin TO92 package and SOT-89 package. Low Drop Voltage Regulators Integrated Circuits BD series products available in die form are ideal for high reliability hybrid circuits and multi chip module applications. HIGH RELIABILITY BARE DIE AND SYSTEM IN PACKAGE - SHORT APPLICATION NOTE COB (Chip on Board) and SiP (System-in-Package) are integrating proven mature products in bare die of mixed technologies i.e. Si, GaAs, GaN, InP, passive components, etc that cannot be easily implemented in SOC (System-on-Chip) technology. COB and SiP have small size footprint, high density, shorter design cycle time, easier to redesign and rework, use simpler and less expensive assembly process. For extreme applications the bare die has to withstand also harsh environmental conditions without the protection of a package. KGD, Known Good Die concept is no longer satisfactory if the die cannot withstand harsh environmental conditions and degrades. Standard semiconductor devices supplied by many manufacturers in bare die are build with exposed aluminum pads that are extremely sensitive to moisture and corrosive components of the atmosphere. Semiconix has reengineered industry standard products and now offers known good die for bare die applications with gold interconnection and well-engineered materials that further enhance the die reliability. Semiconix also offers Silicon Printed Circuit Board technology with integrated passive components as a complete high reliability SIP solution for medical, military and space applications. See AN-SMX-001 DISCRETE SEMICONDUCTORS MANUFACTURING PROCESS Discrete semiconductors are manufactured using Semiconix in house high reliability semiconductor manufacturing processes. All semiconductor devices employ precision doping via ion implantation, silicon nitride junction passivation, platinum silicided contacts and gold interconnect metallization for best performance and reliability.

Input capacitor is required if regulator is located far from power supply filter. Output capacitor must be at least 100µF to maintain stability, it can be increased without bound to maintain regulation during transients and it should be located as close as possible to the regulator. This capacitor must be rated over the same operating temperature range like the regulator. The ESR of this capacitor is critical. Package Power Dissipation The package power dissipation is the level at which the thermal sensor monitoring the junction temperature is activated. The SMS116 shuts down when the junction temperature exceeds the limit of 150°C. The junction temperature rises as the difference between the input power and output power increases. The mounting pad configuration on the PCB, the board material, as well as the ambient temperature affect the rate of temperature rise. The junction temperature will be low, even if the power dissipation is high, when the mounting of the device has good thermal conductivity. When mounted on the recommended mounting pad (figure1) the power dissipation for the SOT-89 package is 600mW. For operation above 25°C derate the power dissipation at 4.8mW/°C. To determine the power dissipation for shutdown when mounted, attach the device on the PCB and increase the input-to-output voltage until the thermal protection circuit is activated. Calculate the power dissipation of the device by subtracting the output voltage from the input voltage and multiply by the output current. The measurements should allow for the ambient temperature of the PCB. The value obtained from PD/ (150°C - TA) is the derating factor. The PCB mounting pad should provide maximum thermal conductivity in order to maintain low device temperatures. As a general rule, the lower the temperature, the better the reliability of the device. The thermal resistance when the device is mounted is equal to: TJ = θJA x PD + TA The internal limit for junction temperature is 150°C. If the ambient temperature is 25°C, then: 150°C = θJA x PD + 25°C θJA = 125°C/ PD A simple way to determine PD is to calculate Vin x Iin when the output is shorted. As the temperature rises, the input gradually will decrease. The PD value obtained when the thermal equilibrium is reached, is the value that should be used. The maximum operating current is: Iout = ΔPD/(VIN(MAX) - VO) The range of usable currents can be found from the graph in figure 2. Procedure: 1. Find PD. 2. PD1 is calculated as PD x (0.8 - 0.9). 3. Plot PD1 against 25°C. 4. Connect PD1 to the point corresponding to the 150°C. External Capacitors The SMS116 series require an output capacitor for device stability. The value required depends on the application circuit and other factors. Because high frequency characteristics of electrolytic capacitors depend greatly on the type and even the manufacturer, the value of capacitance that works well with SMS116 for one brand or type may not necessary be sufficient with an electrolytic of different origin. Sometimes actual bench testing will be the only means to determine the proper capacitor type and value. To obtain stability in all general applications a high quality 100?F aluminum electrolytic or a 47?F tantalum electrolytic can be used. A critical characteristic of the electrolytic capacitors is their performance over temperature. The SMS116 is designed to operate to -40°C, but some electrolytics will freeze around -30°C therefore becoming ineffective. In such case the result is oscillation at the regulator output. For all application circuits where cold operation is necessary, the output capacitor must be rated to operate at the minimum temperature. In applications where the regulator junction temperature will never be lower than 25°C the output capacitor value can be reduced by a factor of two over the value required for the entire temperature range (47?F for a high quality aluminum or 22?F for a tantalum electrolytic capacitor). With higher output currents, the stability of SMS116 decreases. Considering the fact that in many applications the SMS116 is operated at only a few milliamps (or less) of output current, the output capacitor value can be reduced even further. For example, a circuit that is required to deliver a maximum of 10mA of output current from the regulator output will need an output capacitor of only half the value compared to the same regulator required to deliver the full output current of 100mA. As a general rule, with higher output voltages the value of the output capacitance decreases, since the internal loop gain is reduced. In order to determine the minimum value of the output capacitor, for an application circuit, the entire circuit including the capacitor should be bench tested at minimum operating temperatures and maximum operating currents. To maintain internal power dissipation and die heating to a minimum, the input voltage should be maintain at 0.6V above the output. Worst-case occurs just after input power is applied and before the die had the chance to heat up. After the minimum capacitance value has been found for the specific brand and type of electrolytic capacitor, the value should be doubled for actual use to cover for production variations both in the regulator and the capacitor. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Voltage Regulator Circuit See figure 1. C1 is required if regulator is located far from power supply filter. C2 must be at least 100µF to maintain stability; it can be increased without bound to maintain regulation during transients and it should be located as close as possible to the regulator.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Aluminum wire should not be used with gold pads due to potential reliability problem known as purple plague. Same it applies to Aluminum bonding pads with gold wire! In the transition from SnPb solder to lead free and RoHS compliant packaging and assembly processes the reflow temperature has increased in some cases from 180°C to 220°C.

Basic Voltage Regulator Circuit
See figure 1.
Input capacitor is required if regulator is located far from power supply filter.
Output capacitor must be at least 100µF to maintain stability, it can be increased without bound to maintain regulation during transients and it should be located as close as possible to the regulator. This capacitor must be rated over the same operating temperature range like the regulator. The ESR of this capacitor is critical.


Package Power Dissipation
The package power dissipation is the level at which the thermal sensor monitoring the junction temperature is activated. The SMS116 shuts down when the junction temperature exceeds the limit of 150°C. The junction temperature rises as the difference between the input power and output power increases. The mounting pad configuration on the PCB, the board material, as well as the ambient temperature affect the rate of temperature rise. The junction temperature will be low, even if the power dissipation is high, when the mounting of the device has good thermal conductivity. When mounted on the recommended mounting pad (figure1) the power dissipation for the SOT-89 package is 600mW. For operation above 25°C derate the power dissipation at 4.8mW/°C. To determine the power dissipation for shutdown when mounted, attach the device on the PCB and increase the input-to-output voltage until the thermal protection circuit is activated. Calculate the power dissipation of the device by subtracting the output voltage from the input voltage and multiply by the output current. The measurements should allow for the ambient temperature of the PCB. The value obtained from PD/ (150°C - TA) is the derating factor. The PCB mounting pad should provide maximum thermal conductivity in order to maintain low device temperatures. As a general rule, the lower the temperature, the better the reliability of the device.
The thermal resistance when the device is mounted is equal to:
TJ = θJA x PD + TA
The internal limit for junction temperature is 150°C. If the ambient temperature is 25°C, then:
150°C = θJA x PD + 25°C
θJA = 125°C/ PD
A simple way to determine PD is to calculate Vin x Iin when the output is shorted. As the temperature rises, the input gradually will decrease. The PD value obtained when the thermal equilibrium is reached, is the value that should be used.
The maximum operating current is:
Iout = ΔPD/(VIN(MAX) - VO)

The range of usable currents can be found from the graph in figure 2.
Procedure:
1. Find PD.
2. PD1 is calculated as PD x (0.8 - 0.9).
3. Plot PD1 against 25°C.
4. Connect PD1 to the point corresponding to the 150°C.
