MIC5206
150mA Low-Noise LDO Regulator
General Description
The MIC5206 is an efficient linear voltage regulator with very
low dropout voltage (typically 17mV at light loads and 165mV
at 150mA), and very low ground current (600µA at 100mA
output), with better than 1% initial accuracy. It has a logic
compatible enable/shutdown control input and an internal
undervoltage monitor.
Designed especially for hand-held, battery-powered devices,
the MIC5206 can be switched by a CMOS or TTL compatible
logic signal. When disabled, power consumption drops
nearly to zero. Dropout ground current is minimized to
prolong battery life.
Key features include an undervoltage monitor with an error
flag output, a reference bypass pin to improve its already lownoise performance (8-lead versions only), reversed-battery
protection, current limiting, and overtemperature shutdown.
The MIC5206 is available in several fixed voltages in a tiny
SOT-23-5 package. It features a pinout, similar to the LP2980,
but has significantly better performance. Fixed and adjustable output voltage versions, featuring the reference bypass
option, are available in the 8-lead Micrel Mini 8™ 8-lead
MSOP (micro small-outline package).
For low-dropout regulators that are stable with ceramic
output capacitors, see the µCap MIC5245/6/7 family.
