MIC5256
150mA µCap LDO with Error Flag
Final Information
General Description
The MIC5256 is an efficient, precise CMOS voltage regula-
tor. It offers better than 1% initial accuracy, extremely low-
dropout voltage (typically 135mV at 150mA) and low ground
current (typically 90µA) over load. The MIC5256 features an
error flag that indicates an output fault condition such as
overcurrent, thermal shutdown and dropout.
Designed specifically for handheld and battery-powered de-
vices, the MIC5256 provides a TTL-logic-compatible enable
pin. When disabled, power consumption drops nearly to zero.
The MIC5256 also works with low-ESR ceramic capacitors,
reducing the amount of board space necessary for power
applications, critical in hand-held wireless devices.
Key features include current limit, thermal shutdown, faster
transient response, and an active clamp to speed up device
turnoff. Available in the IttyBitty™ SOT-23-5 package and the
new Thin SOT-23-5, which offers the same footprint as the
standard IttyBitty™ SOT-23-5, but only 1mm tall. The MIC5256
offers a range of output voltages.
