The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of maximum operating junction temperature, TJ(max), the junction to ambient thermal resistance, and the ambient ѳJA, and the ambient temperature TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is given: PD(max) = (TJ(max) - TA) / ѳJA, exceeding the maximum allowable power limit will result in excessive die temperature; thus, the regulator will go into thermal shutdown.

SPX5205 Application Information The SPX5205 requires an output capacitor for device Typical Applications Circuits stability. Its value depends upon the application circuit. In A 10nF capacitor on the BYP pin will significantly reduce general, linear regulator stability decreases with higher output noise but it may be left unconnected if the output output currents. In applications where the SPX5205 is noise is not a major concern. The SPX5205 start-up speed putting out less current, a lower output capacitance may is inversely proportional to the size of the BYP capacitor. be sufficient. For example, a regulator sourcing only 10mA, Applications requiring a slow ramp-up of the output voltage requires approximately half the capacitance as the same should use a larger CBYP. However, if a rapid turn-on is regulator sourcing 150mA. necessary, the BYP capacitor can be omitted. Bench testing is the best method for determining the proper The SPX5205’s internal reference is available through the type and value of the capacitor since the high frequency BYP pin. characteristics of electrolytic capacitors vary widely, The Typical Application Circuit shown on page 1 represents depending on type and manufacturer.
