MIC5246
150mA µCap CMOS LDO Regulator
Preliminary Information
General Description
Features
The MIC5246 is an efficient, precise CMOS voltage regulator
optimized for low-noise applications. The MIC5246 offers
better than 1% initial accuracy, extremely-low-dropout volt-
age (typically 150mV at 150mA) and constant ground current
(typically 85µA)over load . The MIC5246 features an error
flagthatindicatesanoutputfaultconditionsuchasovercurrent,
thermalshutdownanddropout.TheMIC5246providesavery
low noise output, ideal for RF applications where quiet
voltage sources are required.
• Error flag indicates fault condition
• Ultralow dropout—100mV @ 100mA
• Load independent, ultralow ground current: 85µA
• 150mA output current
• Current limiting
• Thermal Shutdown
• Tight load and line regulation
• “Zero” off-mode current
• Stability with low-ESR capacitors
• Fast transient response
Designed specifically for hand-held and battery-powered
devices, the MIC5246 provides a TTL-logic-compatible en-
able pin. When disabled, power consumption drops nearly to
zero.
• TTL-Logic-controlled enable input
Applications
• Cellular phones and pagers
• Cellular accessories
• Battery-powered equipment
The MIC5246 also works with low-ESR ceramic capacitors,
reducing the amount of board space necessary for power
applications, critical in hand-held wireless devices.
• Laptop, notebook, and palmtop computers
• PCMCIA V and V regulation/switching
Key features include current limit, thermal shutdown, a push-
pull output for faster transient response, and an active clamp

package, the MIC5246 also offers a range of fixed output
voltages.
