MIC5253
100mA Low Noise µCap Teeny™ LDO
General Description
Features
The MIC5253 is an efficient, CMOS voltage regulator opti-
mized for ultra-low-noise applications. It offers 1.5% initial
accuracy, extremely low dropout voltage (165mV at 100mA),
and low ground current (typically 95µA at full load). The
MIC5253 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.
• Input voltage range: 2.7V to 5.5V

• Ultra-low output noise: 30µV(rms)
• 100mA continuous output current, 150mA peak current
• Stability with ceramic output capacitors
• Ultralow dropout: 165mV @ 100mA
• High output accuracy:
1.5% initial accuracy
3.0% over temperature
• Low ground current: 95µA
• TTL-Logic-controlled enable input
• “Zero” off-mode current
• Thermal shutdown and current limit protection
Designed specifically for handheld and battery-powered de-
vices, the MIC5253 provides a TTL-logic-compatible enable
pin.Whendisabled,powerconsumptiondropsnearlytozero.
The MIC5253 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
Available in the Teeny™ SC-70-5 package, the MIC5253
offers a wide range of output voltages. Key features include
current limit, thermal shutdown, faster transient response,
and an active clamp to speed up device turn-off.
