MIC5250

MIC5250 Micrel MIC5250 Dual 150mA µCap CMOS LDO Regulator Preliminary Information General Description The MIC5250 is an efficient, precise dual CMOS voltage regulator optimized for ultra-low-noise applications. The MIC5250 offers better than 1% initial accuracy, extremely low dropout voltage (typically 150mV at 150mA) and constant ground current over load (typically 100µA). The MIC5250 provides a very-low-noise output, ideal for RF applications where quiet voltage sources are required. A noise bypass pin is also available for further reduction of output noise. Designed specifically for hand-held and battery-powered devices, the MIC5250 provides TTL logic compatible enable pins. When disabled, power consumption drops nearly to zero. The MIC5250 also works with low-ESR ceramic capacitors, reducing the amount of board space necessary for power applications, critical in hand-held wireless devices. Key features include current limit, thermal shutdown, pushpull outputs for faster transient response, and active clamps to speed up device turnoff. Available in the 10-lead MSOP (micro-shrink-outline package), the MIC5250 also offers a range of fixed output voltages.
