MIC5259
300mA High PSRR, Low Noise µCap CMOS LDO
General Description
The MIC5259 is an efficient CMOS voltage regulator optimized
for low-noise applications. It offers 1.5% initial accuracy, low
dropout voltage (300mV at 300mA) and low ground current
(typically 105µA at light load). The MIC5259 provides a very-
low-noise output, ideal for RF applications where a clean
voltage source is required. The MIC5259 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
devices, the MIC5259 provides a TTL-logic-compatible
enable pin. When disabled, power consumption drops to
nearly zero.
The MIC5259 also works with low-ESR ceramic capacitors,
reducing the amount of board space necessary for power
applications; critical issue 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 MIC5259 is available in the 6-pin 2mm
×
2mm
MLF™ package and the ThinSOT™-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 MIC5259-x.xBM5 (all ver-
sions) 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 300mA. 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 cur-
rent.
