MIC5233
High Input Voltage, Low IQ µCap LDO Regulator
General Description
Features
The MIC5233 is a 100mA highly accurate, low dropout
regulatorwithhighinputvoltageandultra-lowgroundcurrent.
This combination of high voltage and low ground current
makes the MIC5233 ideal for multi-cell Li-Ion battery
systems.
• Wide input voltage range: 2.3V to 36V
• Ultra low ground current: 18µA
• Low dropout voltage of 270mV at 100mA
• High output accuracy of ±2.0% over temperature
• µCap: stable with ceramic or tantalum capacitors
• Excellent line and load regulation specifications
• Zero shutdown current
• Reverse battery protection
• Reverse leakage protection
• Thermal shutdown and current limit protection
• IttyBitty™ SOT-23-5 package
A µCap LDO design, the MIC5233 is stable with either
ceramicortantalumoutputcapacitor. Itonlyrequiresa2.2µF
capacitor for stability.
Features of the MIC5233 include enable input, thermal shut-
down, current limit, reverse battery protection, and
reverse leakage protection.
Applications
• Keep-alive supply in notebook and portable computers
• USB power supply
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.
• Logic supply for high-voltage batteries
• Automotive electronics
• Battery powered systems
• 3-4 cell Li-Ion battery input range
