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.

Thermal protection circuitry will shut-down the regulator should the junction temperature exceed 165°C at the sense point. Pin compatible with older three terminal adjustable regulators, these devices offer the advantage of a lower dropout voltage, more precise reference tolerance and improved reference stability with temperature. Stability The circuit design used in the SMS2905 series requires the use of an output capacitor as part of the device frequency compensation. The addition of 150?F aluminum electrolytic or a 22?F solid tantalum on the output will ensure stability for all operating conditions. When the adjustment terminal is bypassed with a capacitor to improve the ripple rejection, the requirement for an output capacitor increases. The value of 22µF tantalum or 150µF aluminum covers all cases of bypassing the adjustment terminal. Without bypassing the adjustment terminal smaller capacitors can be used with equally good results. To further improve stability and transient response of these devices larger values of output capacitor can be used. Protection Diodes Unlike older regulators, the SMS2905 family does not need any protection diodes between the adjustment pin and the output and from the output to the input to prevent over-stressing the die. Internal resistors are limiting the internal current paths on the SMS2905 adjustment pin, therefore even with capacitors on the adjustment pin no protection diode is needed to ensure device safety under short-circuit conditions. Diodes between the input and output are not usually needed. Microsecond surge currents of 50A to 100A can be handled by the internal diode between the input and output pins of the device. In normal operations it is difficult to get those values of surge currents even with the use of large output capacitances. If high value output capacitors are used, such as 1000µF to 5000µF and the input pin is instantaneously shorted to ground, damage can occur. A diode from output to input is recommended, when a crowbar circuit at the input of the SMS2905 is used Ripple Rejection The ripple rejection values are measured with the adjustment pin bypassed. The impedance of the adjust pin capacitor at the ripple frequency should be less than the value of R1 (normally 100Ω to 200Ω) for a proper bypassing and ripple rejection approaching the values shown. The size of the required adjust pin capacitor is a function of the input ripple frequency. If R1=100? at 120Hz the adjust pin capacitor should be >13µF. At 10kHz only 0.16µF is needed. The ripple rejection will be a function of output voltage, in circuits without an adjust pin bypass capacitor. The output ripple will increase directly as a ratio of the output voltage to the reference voltage (VOUT / VREF). Output Voltage The SMS2905 series develops a 1.25V reference voltage between the output and the adjust terminal. Placing a resistor between these two terminals causes a constant current to flow through R1 and down through R2 to set the overall output voltage. This current is normally the specified minimum load current of 10mA. Because IADJ is very small and constant it represents a small error and it can usually be ignored. VOUT = VREF (1+ R2/R1)+IadjR2 Load Regulation Load Regulation True remote load sensing it is not possible to provide, because the SMS2905 is a three terminal device. The resistance of the wire connecting the regulator to the load will limit the load regulation. The data sheet specification for load regulation is measured at the bottom of the package. Negative side sensing is a true Kelvin connection, with the bottom of the output divider returned to the negative side of the load. The best load regulation is obtained when the top of the resistor divider R1 is connected directly to the case not to the load. If R1 were connected to the load, the effective resistance between the regulator and the load would be: RP x ( R2+R1 ) , RP = Parasitic Line Resistance R1 CONNECT R1 TO CASE CONNECT R2 TO LOAD Connected as shown, RP is not multiplied by the divider ratio. Using 16-gauge wire the parasitic line resistance is about 0.004.per foot, translating to 4mV/ft at 1A load current. It is important to keep the positive lead between regulator and load as short as possible and use large wire or PC board traces. In the case of fixed voltage devices the top of R1 is connected Kelvin internally, and the ground pin can be used for negative side sensing. Thermal Considerations The SMS2905 series have internal power and thermal limiting circuitry designed to protect the device under overload conditions. However maximum junction temperature ratings of 125°C should not be exceeded under continuous normal load conditions. Careful consideration must be given to all sources of thermal resistance from junction to ambient. For the surface mount package SOT-223 additional heat sources mounted near the device must be considered. The heat dissipation capability of the PC board and its copper traces is used as a heat sink for the device. The thermal resistance from the junction to the tab for the SMS2905 is 15°C/W. Thermal resistance from tab to ambient can be as low as 30°C/W. The total thermal resistance from junction to ambient can be as low as 45°C/W. This requires a reasonable sized PC board with at least on layer of copper to spread the heat across the board and couple it into the surrounding air. Experiments have shown that the heat spreading copper layer does not need to be electrically connected to the tab of the device. The PC material can be very effective at transmitting heat between the pad area, attached to the pad of the device, and a ground plane layer either inside or on the opposite side of the board. Although the actual thermal resistance of the PC material is high, the Length/Area ratio of the thermal resistance between layers is small. The data in Table 1, was taken using 1/16” FR-4 board with 1 oz. copper foil, and it can be used as a rough guideline for estimating thermal resistance. For each application the thermal resistance will be affected by thermal interactions with other components on the board. To determine the actual value some experimentation will be necessary. The power dissipation of the SMS2905 is equal to: PD = ( VIN - VOUT )( IOUT ) Maximum junction temperature will be equal to: TJ = TA(MAX) + PD(Thermal Resistance (junction-to-ambient)) Maximum junction temperature must not exceed 125°C.

APPLICATION HINTS

APPLICATION HINTS 


The SMS2905 series of adjustable and fixed regulators are easy to use and are protected against short circuit and thermal overloads. Thermal protection circuitry will shut-down the regulator should the junction temperature exceed 165°C at the sense point.
Pin compatible with older three terminal adjustable regulators, these devices offer the advantage of a lower dropout voltage, more precise reference tolerance and improved reference stability with temperature.

Stability
The circuit design used in the SMS2905 series requires the use of an output capacitor as part of the device frequency compensation. The addition of 150?F aluminum electrolytic or a 22?F solid tantalum on the output will ensure stability for all operating conditions.
When the adjustment terminal is bypassed with a capacitor to improve the ripple rejection, the requirement for an output capacitor increases. The value of 22µF tantalum or 150µF aluminum covers all cases of bypassing the adjustment terminal. Without bypassing the adjustment terminal smaller capacitors can be used with equally good results.
To further improve stability and transient response of these devices larger values of output capacitor can be used.

Protection Diodes
Unlike older regulators, the SMS2905 family does not need any protection diodes between the adjustment pin and the output and from the output to the input to prevent over-stressing the die.
Internal resistors are limiting the internal current paths on the SMS2905 adjustment pin, therefore even with capacitors on the adjustment pin no protection diode is needed to ensure device safety under short-circuit conditions.
Diodes between the input and output are not usually needed. Microsecond surge currents of 50A to 100A can be handled by the internal diode between the input and output pins of the device. In normal operations it is difficult to get those values of surge currents even with the use of large output capacitances. If high value output capacitors are used, such as 1000µF to 5000µF and the input pin is instantaneously shorted to ground, damage can occur. A diode from output to input is recommended, when a crowbar circuit at the input of the SMS2905 is used

Ripple Rejection
The ripple rejection values are measured with the adjustment pin bypassed. The impedance of the adjust pin capacitor at the ripple frequency should be less than the value of R1 (normally 100Ω to 200Ω) for a proper bypassing and ripple rejection approaching the values shown. The size of the required adjust pin capacitor is a function of the input ripple frequency. If R1=100? at 120Hz the adjust pin capacitor should be >13µF. At 10kHz only 0.16µF is needed.
The ripple rejection will be a function of output voltage, in circuits without an adjust pin bypass capacitor. The output ripple will increase directly as a ratio of the output voltage to the reference voltage (VOUT / VREF).

Output Voltage
The SMS2905 series develops a 1.25V reference voltage between the output and the adjust terminal. Placing a resistor between these two terminals causes a constant current to flow through R1 and down through R2 to set the overall output voltage. This current is normally the specified minimum load current of 10mA. Because IADJ is very small and constant it represents a small error and it can usually be ignored.
VOUT = VREF (1+ R2/R1)+IadjR2

Load Regulation
Load Regulation
True remote load sensing it is not possible to provide, because the SMS2905 is a three terminal device. The resistance of the wire connecting the regulator to the load will limit the load regulation. The data sheet specification for load regulation is measured at the bottom of the package. Negative side sensing is a true Kelvin connection, with the bottom of the output divider returned to the negative side of the load.
The best load regulation is obtained when the top of the resistor divider R1 is connected directly to the case not to the load. If R1 were connected to the load, the effective resistance between the regulator and the load would be:
RP x ( R2+R1 ) , RP = Parasitic Line Resistance R1
CONNECT R1 TO CASE CONNECT R2 TO LOAD
Connected as shown, RP is not multiplied by the divider ratio. Using 16-gauge wire the parasitic line resistance is about 0.004.per foot, translating to 4mV/ft at 1A load current. It is important to keep the positive lead between regulator and load as short as possible and use large wire or PC board traces.
In the case of fixed voltage devices the top of R1 is connected Kelvin internally, and the ground pin can be used for negative side sensing.

Thermal Considerations
The SMS2905 series have internal power and thermal limiting circuitry designed to protect the device under overload conditions.
However maximum junction temperature ratings of 125°C should not be exceeded under continuous normal load conditions.
Careful consideration must be given to all sources of thermal resistance from junction to ambient. For the surface mount package SOT-223 additional heat sources mounted near the device must be considered. The heat dissipation capability of the PC board and its copper traces is used as a heat sink for the device.
The thermal resistance from the junction to the tab for the SMS2905 is 15°C/W. Thermal resistance from tab to ambient can be as low as 30°C/W.
The total thermal resistance from junction to ambient can be as low as 45°C/W. This requires a reasonable sized PC board with at least on layer of copper to spread the heat across the board and couple it into the surrounding air.
Experiments have shown that the heat spreading copper layer does not need to be electrically connected to the tab of the device. The PC material can be very effective at transmitting heat between the pad area, attached to the pad of the device, and a ground plane layer either inside or on the opposite side of the board. Although the actual thermal resistance of the PC material is high, the Length/Area ratio of the thermal resistance between layers is small. The data in Table 1, was taken using 1/16” FR-4 board with 1 oz. copper foil, and it can be used as a rough guideline for estimating thermal resistance.
For each application the thermal resistance will be affected by thermal interactions with other components on the board. To determine the actual value some experimentation will be necessary.
The power dissipation of the SMS2905 is equal to:
PD = ( VIN - VOUT )( IOUT )
Maximum junction temperature will be equal to:
TJ = TA(MAX) + PD(Thermal Resistance (junction-to-ambient))
Maximum junction temperature must not exceed 125°C.
