† Notice: Stresses above those listed under 'Absolute Maximum Ratings' may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at those or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not intended. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

‡ Notice: The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating ratings.

Note 1: The maximum allowable power dissipation at any T A (ambient temperature) is P D(max) = (T J(max) - T A ) x θ JA . Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will cause excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. See Table 4-1 and the Thermal Considerations sub-section in Applications Information for details.

MIC5209YM Thermal Information

The SOT-223 has a ground tab that allows it to dissipate more power than the SOIC-8 (refer to the Slot-1 Power Supply sub-section for details). At +25°C ambient, it will operate reliably at 1.6W dissipation with 'worst-case' mounting (no ground plane, minimum trace widths, and FR4 printed circuit board).

Thermal resistance values for the SOIC-8 represent typical mounting on a 1'-square, copper-clad, FR4 circuit board. For greater power dissipation, SOIC-8 versions of the MIC5209 feature a fused internal lead frame and die bonding arrangement that reduces thermal resistance when compared to standard SOIC-8 packages.
