General Description
MIC5255
150mA Low Noise µCap CMOS LDO
Features
The MIC5255 is an efficient, precise CMOS voltage
regulator optimized for ultra-low-noise applications. It
offers 1% initial accuracy, extremely-low dropout voltage
(135mV at 150mA) and low ground current (typically
90µA). The MIC5255 provides a very-low-noise output,
ideal for RF applications where a clean voltage source is
required. A noise bypass pin is also available for further
reduction of output noise.
Designed specifi cally for handheld and battery-powered
devices, the MIC5255 provides a TTL-logic-compatible enable pin. When disabled, power consumption drops nearly
to zero.
The MIC5255 also works with low-ESR ceramic
capacitors, reducing the amount of board space necessary
for power applications, critical in handheld wireless
devices.
Key features include current limit, thermal shutdown, faster
transient response, and an active clamp to speed up
device turn-off. Available in the 6-pin 2mm × 2mm MLF
package, the IttyBitty
Thin SOT-23-5, which offers the same footprint as the
standard IttyBitty
®
SOT-23-5 package and the new
®
SOT-23-5, but only 1mm tall. The
MIC5255 offers a range of output voltages.
