MIC5252
150mA High PSRR, Low Noise
µ
Cap CMOS LDO
General Description
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 pro-
vides 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. A noise bypass pin is also available for
further reduction of output noise.
Designed specifically for handheld and battery-powered de-
vices, the MIC5252 provides a TTL-logic-compatible enable
pin. When disabled, power consumption drops nearly to zero.
The MIC5252 also works with low-ESR ceramic capacitors,
reducing the amount of board space necessary for power
applications, critical in handheld wireless devices.
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.

Notes:
1. Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
2. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
3. The maximum allowable power dissipation of 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 MIC5252-x.xBM5 (all
versions) is 235°C/W on a PC board. See
”Thermal Considerations”
section for further details.
4. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended.
5. Specification for packaged product only.
6. 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.
7. Dropout Voltage is defined as the input-to-output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal value measured at 1V differen-
tial. For outputs below 2.7V, dropout voltage is the input-to-output voltage differential with the minimum input voltage 2.7V. Minimum input operating
voltage is 2.7V.
8. Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of the load current plus the ground pin current.
