MIC5252
150mA High PSRR, Low Noise µCap CMOS LDO
General Description
Features
The MIC5252 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 MIC5252
provides a very-low-noise output, ideal for RF applications
where a clean voltage source is required. The MIC5252 has
a high PSRR even at low supply voltages, critical for battery
operated electronics. Anoise bypass pin is also available for
further reduction of output noise.
• Input voltage range: 2.7V to 6.0V
• PSRR = 50dB @ V + 0.3V
O
• Ultra-low output noise: 30µV(rms)
• Stability with ceramic output capacitors
• Ultra-low dropout: 135mV @ 150mA
• High output accuracy:
1.0% initial accuracy
2.0% over temperature
• Low quiescent current: 90µA
• Tight load and line regulation
• TTL-Logic-controlled enable input
• “Zero” off-mode current
Designed specifically for handheld and battery-powered
devices, the MIC5252 provides a TTL-logic-compatible en-
able pin. When disabled, power consumption drops nearly
to zero.
• Thermal shutdown and current limit protection
The MIC5252 also works with low-ESR ceramic capacitors,
reducing the amount of board space necessary for power
applications, critical in handheld wireless devices.
Applications
• Cellular phones and pagers
• Cellular accessories
• Battery-powered equipment
• Laptop, notebook, and palmtop computers
• Consumer/personal electronics
Key features include current limit, thermal shutdown, faster
transient response, and an active clamp to speed up device
turn-off. The MIC5252 is available in the 6-pin 2mm × 2mm
MLF™ package and the IttyBitty® SOT-23-5 package in a
wide range of output voltages.
