MIC5206
150mA Low-Noise LDO Regulator
General Description
The MIC5206 is an efficient linear voltage regulator with very
low dropout voltage (typically 17mV at light loads and 165mV
at 150mA), and very low ground current (600µA at 100mA
output), with better than 1% initial accuracy. It has a logic
compatible enable/shutdown control input and an internal
undervoltage monitor.
Designed especially for hand-held, battery-powered devices,
the MIC5206 can be switched by a CMOS or TTL compatible
logic signal. When disabled, power consumption drops
nearly to zero. Dropout ground current is minimized to
prolong battery life.
Key features include an undervoltage monitor with an error
flag output, a reference bypass pin to improve its already low-
noise performance (8-lead versions only), reversed-battery
protection, current limiting, and overtemperature shutdown.
The MIC5206 is available in several fixed voltages in a tiny
SOT-23-5 package. It features a pinout, similar to the LP2980,
but has significantly better performance. Fixed and adjust-
able output voltage versions, featuring the reference bypass
option, are available in the 8-lead Micrel Mini 8™ 8-lead
MSOP (micro small-outline package).

Note 1:
Note 2.
Note 3:
Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
Micrel
Note 4:
Note 5:
Note 6:
Note 7:
Note 8:
Note 9:
The maximum allowable power dissipation at 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
MIC5205-x.xBM5 (all versions) is 220°C/W, and the MIC5206-x.xBMM (all versions) is 200°C/W, mounted on a PC board (see “Thermal
Considerations” for further details).
Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range.
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.
Dropout Voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal value measured at 1V
differential.
Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current plus pass transistor base current. The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of
the load current plus the ground pin current.
Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time “t” after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load or line
regulation effects. Specifications are for a 150mA load pulse at V
IN
= 16V for t = 10ms.
The error flag comparator includes 3% hysteresis.
