MIC5205
150mA Low-Noise LDO Regulator
General Description
Features
The MIC5205 is an efficient linear voltage regulator with
ultra low-noise output, very low dropout voltage (typically
17mV at light loads and 165mV at 150mA), and very low
ground current (600⎧A at 100mA output). The MIC5205
offers better than 1% initial accuracy.
• Ultra-low-noise output
• High output voltage accuracy
• Guaranteed 150mA output
• Low quiescent current
• Low dropout voltage
Designed especially for hand-held, battery-powered
devices, the MIC5205 includes a CMOS or TTL compatible
enable/shutdown control input. When shut down, power
consumption drops nearly to zero. Regulator ground
current increases only slightly in dropout, further
prolonging battery life.
• Extremely tight load and line regulation
• Very low temperature coefficient
• Current and thermal limiting
• Reverse-battery protection
• “Zero” off-mode current
Key MIC5205 features include a reference bypass pin to
improve its already excellent low-noise performance,
reversed-battery protection, current limiting, and
overtemperature shutdown.
• Logic-controlled electronic enable
Applications
The MIC5205 is available in fixed and adjustable output
voltage versions in a small SOT-23-5 package.
• Cellular telephones
• Laptop, notebook, and palmtop computers
• Battery-powered equipment
For low-dropout regulators that are stable with ceramic
output capacitors, see the µCap MIC5245/6/7 family.
• PCMCIA VCC and VPP regulation/switching
• Consumer/personal electronics
• SMPS post-regulator/dc-to-dc modules
• High-efficiency linear power supplies
