MIC5216
500mA-Peak Output LDO Regulator
Preliminary Information
General Description
The MIC5216 is an efficient linear voltage regulator with high
peak output current capability, very low dropout voltage, and
better than 1% output voltage accuracy. Dropout is typically
10mV at light loads and less than 500mV at full load.
The MIC5216 is designed to provide a peak output current for
startup conditions where higher inrush current is demanded.
It features a 500mA peak output rating. Continuous output
current is limited only by package and layout.
The MIC5216 has an internal undervoltage monitor with a flag
output. It also can be enabled or shutdown by a CMOS or TTL
compatible signal. When disabled, power consumption drops
nearly to zero. Dropout ground current is minimized to help
prolong battery life. Other key features include reversed-
battery protection, current limiting, overtemperature shut-
down, and low noise performance.
The MIC5216 is available in fixed output voltages in space-
saving SOT-23-5 and MM8™ 8-lead power MSOP pack-
ages. For higher power requirements see the MIC5209 or
MIC5237.

Note 1:
Micrel
Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Electrical specifications do not apply when
operating the device outside of its operating ratings. The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction
temperature, T
J(max)
, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance,
θ
JA
, and the ambient temperature, T
A
. The maximum allowable power
dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated using: P
D(max)
= (T
J(max)
– T
A
)
÷ θ
JA
. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipa-
tion will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. See Table 1 and the “Thermal Considerations”
section for details.
Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range.
Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Parts are tested for load regulation in the load
range from 100mA to 500mA. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered by the thermal regulation specification.
Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal value measured at 1V
differential.
Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current plus pass transistor base current. The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of
the load current plus the ground pin current.
V
EN
is the voltage externally applied to devices with the EN (enable) input pin.
Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time “t” after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load or line
regulation effects. Specifications are for a 500mA load pulse at V
IN
= 12V for t = 10ms.
The error flag comparator includes 3% hysteresis.
