MIC5233 Micrel
MIC5233
High Input Voltage, Low IQ µCap LDO Regulator
General Description
The MIC5233 is a 100mA highly accurate, low dropout
regulator with high input voltage and ultra-low ground current.
This combination of high voltage and low ground current
makes the MIC5233 ideal for multi-cell Li-Ion battery
systems.
A µCap LDO design, the MIC5233 is stable with either
ceramic or tantalum output capacitor. It only requires a 2.2µF
capacitor for stability.
Features of the MIC5233 include enable input, thermal shutdown, current limit, reverse battery protection, and
reverse leakage protection.
Available in fixed and adjustable output voltage versions, the
MIC5233 is offered in the IttyBitty™ SOT-23-5 package with
a junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.
