The MIC5501/2/3/4 is designed to provide 300mA of continuous current in a very small package. Maximum ambient operating temperature can be calculated based on the output current and the voltage drop across the part. For example if the input voltage is 3.6V, the output voltage is 2.8V, and the output current = 300mA. The actual power dissipation of the regulator circuit can be determined using Equation 1:

Because this device is CMOS and the ground current is typically <100μA over the load range, the power dissipation contributed by the ground current is < 1% and can be ignored for this calculation:

To determine the maximum ambient operating temperature of the package, use the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the device and Equation 2:

TJ(max) = 125°C, the maximum junction temperature of the die, θJA thermal resistance = 250°C/W for the DFN package.

Substituting PD for P D(max) and solving for the ambient operating temperature will give the maximum operating conditions for the regulator circuit. The junction-toambient thermal resistance for the minimum footprint is 250°C/W.

The maximum power dissipation must not be exceeded for proper operation.

For example, when operating the MIC5501-MYMT at an input voltage of 3.6V and 300mA load with a minimum footprint layout, the maximum ambient operating temperature TA can be determined as follows:

Therefore, the maximum ambient operating temperature allowed in a 1mm × 1mm DFN package is 65°C.
