MIC5191  
Ultra High-Speed, High-Current  
Active Filter / LDO Controller  
General Description  
Features  
The MIC5191 is an ultra high-speed linear regulator. It  
uses an external N-Channel FET as its power device.  
Input voltage range: VIN = 1.0V to 5.5V  
+1.0% initial output tolerance  
The MIC5191's ultra high-speed abilities can handle the  
fast load demands of microprocessor cores, ASICs, and  
other high-speed devices. Signal bandwidths of greater  
than 500 kHz can be achieved with a minimum amount of  
capacitance while at the same time keeping the output  
voltage clean, regardless of load demand. A powerful  
output driver delivers large MOSFETs into their linear  
regions, achieving ultra-low dropout voltage.  
Dropout down to 25mV@10A  
Filters out switching frequency noise on input  
Very high large signal bandwidth >500kHz  
PSRR >40dB at 500kHz  
Adjustable output voltage down to 1.0V  
Stable with any output capacitor  
Excellent line and load regulation specifications  
Logic controlled shutdown  
1.25VIN ±10% can be turned into 1V ±1% without the use  
of a large amount of capacitance.  
Current limit protection  
MIC5191 (1.0V reference) is optimized for output voltages  
of 1.0V and higher.  
The MIC5191 is offered in 10-pin 3mm×3mm MLF® and  
10-pin MSOP-10 packages and has an operating junction  
temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.

MIC5191  
Enable  
Functional Description  
The MIC5191 comes with an active-high enable pin that  
allows the regulator to be disabled. Forcing the enable  
pin low disables the regulator and sends it into a low off-  
mode-current state. Forcing the enable pin high enables  
the output voltage. The enable pin cannot be left floating;  
a floating enable pin may cause an indeterminate state  
on the output.  
VIN  
The VIN pin is connected to the N-Channel drain. VIN is  
the input power being supplied to the output. This pin is  
also used to power the internal current limit comparator  
and compare the ISENSE voltage for current limit. The  
voltage range is from 1.0V min to 5.5V max.  
ISENSE  
FB  
The ISENSE pin is the other input to the current limit  
comparator. The output current is limited when the  
ISENSE pin's voltage is 50mV less than the VIN pin. In  
cases where there is a current limited source and there  
isn’t a need for current limit, this pin can be tied directly  
to VIN. Its operating voltage range, like the VIN pin, is  
1.0V min to 5.5V max.  
The feedback pin is used to sense the output voltage for  
regulation. The feedback pin is compared to an internal  
1.0V reference and the output adjusts the gate voltage  
accordingly to maintain regulation. Since the feedback  
biasing current is typically 13µA, smaller feedback  
resistors should be used to minimize output voltage  
error.  
VCC1, VCC2  
COMP  
VCC1 supplies the error amplifier and internal reference,  
while VCC2 supplies the output gate drive. For this  
reason, ensure these pins have good input capacitor  
bypassing for better performance. The operating range  
is from 4.5V to 13.2V and both VCC pins should be tied  
together. Ensure that the voltage supplied is greater than  
a gate-source threshold above the output voltage for the  
N-Channel MOSFET selected.  
COMP is the external compensation pin. This allows  
complete control over the loop to allow stability for any  
type of output capacitor, load currents and output  
voltage. A detailed explanation of how to compensate  
the MIC5191 is in the “Designing with the MIC5191”  
section.  
SGND, PGND  
SGND is the internal signal ground which provides an  
isolated ground path from the high current output driver.  
The signal ground provides the grounding for noise  
sensitive circuits such as the current limit comparator,  
error amplifier and the internal reference voltage.  
Output  
The output drives the external N-Channel MOSFET and  
is powered from VCC. The output can sink and source  
over 150mA of current to drive either an N-Channel  
MOSFET or an external NPN transistor. The output drive  
also has short-circuit current protection.  
PGND is the power ground and is the grounding path for  
the output driver.

V ↓= L  
dt ↑  
Placing multiple small capacitors with low ESL in parallel  
can help reduce the total ESL and reduce voltage droop  
during high speed transients. For high speed transients,  
the greatest voltage deviation will generally be caused  
by output capacitor ESL and parasitic inductance.  
Anatomy of a transient response  
A voltage regulator can maintain a set output voltage  
while its exterior world is pushing and pulling in its  
demand for power. The measure of a regulator is  
generally how accurately and effectively it can maintain  
that voltage, regardless of how the load demands power.  
One measure of regulator response is the load step.  
This is an intuitive look at how the regulator responds to  
a change in load current. Figure 2 is a look at the  
transient response to a load step.  
di  
V ↓= L ↓  
dt  
After the current has overcome the effects of the ESL,  
the output voltage will begin to drop proportionally to  
time and inversely proportional to output capacitance.

V =  
idt  
C
The relationship to output voltage variation will depend  
on two aspects, loop bandwidth and output capacitance.  
The output capacitance will determine how far the  
voltage will fall over a given time. With more capacity-  
ance, the drop in voltage will fall at a decreased rate.  
This is the reason that for the same bandwidth, more  
capacitance provides a better transient response.

Also, the time it takes for the regulator to respond is  
directly proportional to its gain bandwidth. Higher  
bandwidth control loops respond quicker causing a  
reduced droop on the supply for the same amount of  
capacitance.

C
At the start of a circuit's power demand, the output  
voltage is regulated to its set point, while the load current  
runs at a constant rate. For many different reasons, a  
load may ask for more current without warning. When  
this happens, the regulator needs some time to  
determine the output voltage drop. This is determined by  
the speed of the control loop. So, until enough time has  
elapsed, the control loop is oblivious to the voltage  
change. The output capacitor must bear the burden of  
maintaining the output voltage.  
Final recovery back to the regulated voltage is the final  
phase of transient response and the most important  
factors are gain and time. Higher gain at higher  
frequency will get the output voltage closer to its  
regulation point quicker. The final settling point will be  
determined by the load regulation, which in proportional  
to DC (0Hz) gain and the associated loss terms.  
There are other factors that contribute to large signal  
transient response, such as source impedance, phase  
margin and PSRR. For example, if the input voltage  
drops due to source impedance during a load transient,  
this will contribute to the output voltage deviation by  
filtering through to the output reduced by the loops  
PSRR at the frequency of the voltage transient. It is  
straightforward: good input capacitance reduces the  
source impedance at high frequencies. Having between  
35° and 45° of phase margin will help speed up the  
recovery time. This is caused by the initial overshoot in  
response to the loop sensing a low voltage.  
di  
V = L  
dt  
Since this is a sudden change in voltage, the capacitor  
will try to maintain voltage by discharging current to the  
output. The first voltage drop is due to the output  
capacitor's ESL (equivalent series inductance). The ESL  
will resist a sudden change in current from the capacitor  
and drop the voltage quickly. The amount of voltage  
drop during this time will be proportional to the output  
capacitor's ESL and the speed at which the load steps.  
Slower load current transients will reduce this effect.

In designing the MIC5191, it is important to maintain  
adequate phase margin. This is generally achieved by

There is single pole roll off. For most applications, an  
output capacitor is required. The output capacitor and  
load resistance create another pole. This causes a two-  
pole system and can potentially cause design instability  
with inadequate phase margin. What should we do?  
Answer: we compensate it externally. By providing a  
dominant pole and zero–allowing the output capacitor  
and load to provide the final pole–a net single pole roll  
off is created, with the zero canceling the dominant pole.  
Figure 5 demonstrates:  
It is recommended that the gain bandwidth should be  
designed to be less than 1 MHz. This is because most  
capacitors lose capacitance at high frequency and  
becoming resistive or inductive. This can be difficult to  
compensate for and can create high frequency ringing or  
worse, oscillations.  
By increasing the amount of output capacitance,  
transient response can be improved in multiple ways.  
First, the rate of voltage drop vs. time is decreased.  
Also, by increasing the output capacitor, the pole formed  
by the load and the output capacitor decreases in  
frequency. This allows for the increasing of the

compensation resistor, creating a higher mid-band gain.  
Now that we know the amount of power we will be  
dissipating, we will need to know the maximum ambient  
air temperature. For our case we’re going to assume a  
maximum of 65°C ambient temperature, though different  
MOSFETs have different maximum operating junction  
temperatures. Most MOSFETs are rated to 150°C, while  
others are rated as high as 175°C. In this case, we’re  
going to limit our maximum junction temperature to  
125°C. The MIC5191 has no internal thermal protection  
for the MOSFET so it is important that the design  
provides margin for the maximum junction temperature.  
Our design will maintain better than 125°C junction  
temperature with 1.95W of power dissipation at an  
ambient temperature of 65°C. Our thermal resistance

The typical pass element for the MIC5191 is an N-  
Channel MOSFET. There are multiple considerations  
when choosing a MOSFET. These include:  
So our package must have a thermal resistance less  
than 31°C /W. Table 1 shows a good approximation of  
power dissipation and package recommendation.

RDSON  
In our example, our power dissipation is greater than  
1.4W, so we’ll choose a TO-263 (D2Pack) N-Channel  
MOSFET. θJA is calculated as follows:  
5A  
R
DSON = 42mΩ  
θ
JA = θJC + θCS + θSA  
For performance reasons, we do not want to run the N-  
Channel in dropout. This will seriously affect transient  
response and PSRR (power supply ripple rejection). For  
this reason, we want to select a MOSFET that has lower  
than 42mfor our example application.  
Where θJC is the junction to case resistance, θCS is the  
case-to-sink resistance and the θSA is the sink-to-ambi-  
ent air resistance.  
In the D2 package we’ve selected, the θJC is 2°C/W. The  
θCS, assuming we are using the PCB as the heat sink,  
can be approximated to 0.2°C/W. This allows us to  
calculate the minimum θSA:  
Size is another important consideration. Most import-  
antly, the design must be able to handle the amount of  
power being dissipated.  
The amount of power dissipated can be calculated as  
follows (using VIN(max)):

MIC5191  
Referring to Application Hint 17, Designing PCB Heat  
Sinks, the minimum amount of copper area for a D2pack  
at 28.8°C/W is 2750mm2 (or 0.426in2). The solid line  
denotes convection heating only (2 oz. copper) and the  
dotted line shows thermal resistance with 250LFM air-  
flow. The copper area can be significantly reduced by  
increasing airflow or by adding external heat sinks.  
source voltage) will be less than the fully enhanced VGS,  
it is recommended the VCC voltage has 2V over the  
minimum VGS and output voltage. This is due to the  
saturation voltage of the MIC5191 output driver.  
V
CC1, 2 2V + VGS + VOUT  
For our example, with a 1.5V output voltage, our  
MOSFET is fully enhanced at 4.5VGS, our VCC voltage  
should be greater or equal to 8V.  
Input Capacitor  
Good input bypassing is important for improved perfor-  
mance. Low ESR and low ESL input capacitors reduce  
both the drain of the N-Channel MOSFET, as well as the  
source impedance to the MIC5191. When a load  
transient on the output occurs, the load step will also  
appear on the input. Deviations on the input voltage will  
be reduced by the MIC5191’s PSRR, but nonetheless  
appear on the output. There is no minimum input  
capacitance, but for optimal performance it is  
recommended that the input capacitance be equal to or  
greater than the output capacitance.  
Output Capacitor  
Figure 8. PC Board Heat Sink  
The MIC5191 is stable with any type or value of output  
capacitor (even without any output capacitor!). This  
allows the output capacitor to select which parameters of  
the regulator are important. In cases where transient  
response is the most important, low ESR and low ESL  
ceramic capacitors are recommended. Also, the more  
capacitance on the output, the better the transient  
response.  
Another important characteristic is the amount of gate  
capacitance. Large gate capacitance can reduce  
transient performance by reducing the ability of the  
MIC5190 to slew the gate. It is recommended that the  
MOSFET used has an input capacitance <10nF (CISS).  
Source threshold specified in most MOSFET data sheets  
refers to the minimum voltage needed to fully enhance  
the MOSFET. Although for the most part, the MOSFET  
will be operating in the linear region and the VGS (gate-

Applying the MIC5191  
Linear Regulator

The primary purpose of the MIC5191 is as a linear  
regulator, which enables an input supply voltage to drop  
down through the resistance of the pass element to a  
regulated output voltage.

Active Filter  
Another application for the MIC5191 is as an active filter  
on the output of a switching regulator. This improves the  
power supply in several ways.  
First, using the MIC5191 as a filter on the output can  
significantly reduce high frequency noise. Switching  
power supplies tends to create noise at the switching  
frequency in the form of a triangular voltage ripple. High  
frequency noise is also created by the high-speed  
switching transitions. A lot of time, effort, and money are  
thrown into the design of switching regulators to  
minimize these effects as much as possible. Figure 9  
shows the MIC5191 as a post regulator.

Figure 10. Adjustable Output  
The feedback resistors adjust the output to the desired  
voltage and can be calculated as follows:  
R1  
R2  
VOUT = VREF 1+  
VREF is equal to 1.0V for the MIC5191. The minimum  
output voltage (R1=0) is 0.5V. For output voltages less  
than 1V, use the MIC5190.The resistor tolerance adds  
error to the output voltage. These errors are  
accumulative for both R1 and R2. For example, our  
resistors selected have a ±1% tolerance. This will  
contribute to a ±2% additional error on the output  
voltage. The feedback resistors must also be small  
enough to allow enough current to the feedback node.  
Large feedback resistors will contribute to output voltage  
error.

ERROR = R1 x 1FB  
ERROR = 1kx 12µA

Figure 11. Ripple Reduction  
Figure 11 shows the amount of ripple reduction for a 500  
KHz switching regulator. The fundamental switching  
frequency is reduced from greater than 100mV to less  
than 10mV.  
For our example application, this will cause an increase  
in output voltage of 12mV. For the percentage increase,

VERROR % =  
VERROR % =

ERROR% = 0.8%  
By reducing R1 to 100, the error contribution by the  
feed-back resistors and feedback current is reduced to  
less than 0.1%. This is the reason R1 should not be  
greater than 100.

The transient response also contributes to the overall AC  
output voltage deviation. Figure 12 shows a 1A to 10A  
load transient. The top trace is the output of the  
switching regulator (same circuit as Figure10). The  
output voltage undershoots by 100mV. Just by their  
topology, linear regulators have the ability to respond at  
much higher speeds than a switching regulator. Linear  
regulators do not have the limitation or restrictions of  
switching regulators which must reduce their bandwidth  
to less than their switching frequency.  
If a large circuit board has multiple small-geometry  
ASICs, it will require the powering of multiple loads with  
its one power source. Assuming that the ASICs are  
dispersed throughout the board and that the core voltage  
requires a regulated 1V, Figure 14 shows the long traces  
from the power supply to the loads. Not only do we have  
to contend with the tolerance of the supply (line  
regulation, load regulation, output accuracy and  
temperature tolerances), but the trace lengths create  
additional issues with resistance and inductance. With  
lower voltages these parasitic values can easily bump  
the output voltage out of a usable tolerance.  
Using the MIC5191 as a filter for a switching regulator  
reduces output noise due to ripple and high frequency  
switching noise. It also reduces undershoot (Figure 12)  
and over-shoot (Figure 13) due to load transients with  
decreased capacitance.

But by placing multiple, small MIC5191 circuits close to  
each load, the parasitic trace elements caused by  
distance to the power supply are almost completely  
negated. By adjusting the switching supply voltage to  
1.2V, for example, the MIC5191 will provide accurate 1V  
output, efficiently and with very little noise.  
Figure 13. Transient Response  
Due to the high DC gain (80dB) of the MIC5191, it also  
adds increased output accuracy and extremely high load  
regulation.  
Distributed Power Supply  
Circuit Board  
As technology advances and processes move to smaller  
and smaller geometries, voltage requirements go down  
and current requirements go up. This creates unique  
challenges when trying to supply power to multiple  
devices on a board. When there is one load to power,  
the difficulties are not quite as complex; trying to  
distribute power to multiple loads from one supply is  
much more problematic.
