MIC35152
1.5A, Low Voltage µCap LDO Regulator
General Description
The MIC35152 is a 1.5A low-dropout linear voltage
regulator that provides a low voltage, high current output
with a minimum of external components. It offers high
precision, ultra-low dropout (600mV over temperature),
and low ground current.
The MIC35152 operates from an input of 2.25V to 6.0V. It
is designed to drive digital circuits requiring low voltage at
high currents (i.e., PLDs, DSPs, micro-controllers, etc.),
providing an adjustable output voltage from 1.24V to 5.4V.
Features of the MIC35152 LDO include current limiting
and thermal protection, and reverse current and reverse
battery protection. Also logic (active-HIGH) enable pin is
included. The MIC35152 is available in a 5-pin power
D-Pak package (TO-252) with and operating temperature
range of –40°C to +125°C.
Data sheets and support documentation can be found on
Micrel’s web site at www.micrel.com.

Pin Function
Enable (Input): CMOS compatible input.
Logic high = enable, logic low = shutdown.
Input Voltage: Supplies the current to the output power device
Ground: TAB is also connected internally to the IC’s ground on D-PAK.
Regulator Output: The output voltage is set by the resistor divider
connected from OUT to GND (with the divided connection tied to ADJ).
A minimum value capacitor must be used to maintain stability. See
Applications Information.
Adjustable Regulator Feedback Input: Connect to the resistor voltage
divider that is placed from OUT to GND in order to set the output
voltage.
