MIC5205
150mA Low-Noise LDO Regulator
General Description
The MIC5205 is an efficient linear voltage regulator with ultra-
low-noise output, very low dropout voltage (typically 17mV at
light loads and 165mV at 150mA), and very low ground
current (600µA at 100mA output). The MIC5205 offers better
than 1% initial accuracy.
Designed especially for hand-held, battery-powered devices,
the MIC5205 includes a CMOS or TTL compatible enable/
shutdown control input. When shutdown, power consump-
tion drops nearly to zero. Regulator ground current increases
only slightly in dropout, further prolonging battery life.
Key MIC5205 features include a reference bypass pin to
improve its already excellent low-noise performance, re-
versed-battery protection, current limiting, and
overtemperature shutdown.
The MIC5205 is available in fixed and adjustable output
voltage versions in a small SOT-23-5 package.

Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
The maximum allowable power dissipation at any T
A
(ambient temperature) is P
D(max)
= (T
J(max)
– T
A
)
÷ θ
JA
. Exceeding the maximum
allowable power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. The
θ
JA
of the MIC5205-
xxBM5 (all versions) is 220°C/W mounted on a PC board (see “Thermal Considerations” section for further 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 0.1mA to 150mA. 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.
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 150mA load pulse at V
IN
= 16V for t = 10ms.
