MIC5209
500mA Low-Noise LDO Regulator
General Description
The MIC5209 is an efficient linear voltage regulator with
very low dropout voltage, typically 10mV at light loads and
less than 500mV at full load, with better than 1% output
voltage accuracy
Designed especially for hand-held, battery-powered
devices, the MIC5209 features low ground current to help
prolong battery life. An enable/shutdown pin on SO-8 and
TO-263- 5 versions can further improve battery life with
near-zero shutdown current.
Key features include reversed-battery protection, current
limiting, overtemperature shutdown, ultra-low-noise
capability (SO-8 and TO-263-5 versions), and availability
in thermally-efficient packaging. The MIC5209 is available
in adjustable or fixed output voltages.

Pin Function
Supply Input.
Ground: SOT-223 Pin 2 and TAB are internally
connected. SO-8 Pins 5 through 8 are internally
connected.
Regulator Output: Pins 3 and 4 must be tied
together.
Enable (Input): CMOS-compatible control input.
Logic High = Enable; Logic Low = Shutdown.
Reference Bypass: Connect external 470pF
capacitor to GND to reduce output noise. Can be
left open. For 1.8V or 2.5V operation, see
Application Information.
Adjust (Input): Feedback input. Connect to
resistive voltage-divider network.
