General Description
The MIC3490 is a 100 mA, highly accurate,
low-dropout regulator with high input voltage and
ultra-low ground current. This combination of high
voltage and low ground current makes the MIC3490
ideal for multi-cell Li-Ion battery systems.
As a µCap LDO design, the MIC3490 is stable with
either ceramic or tantalum output capacitors. It only
requires a 2.2 µF output capacitor for stability.
Features of the MIC3490 include enable input, thermal
shutdown, current limit, reverse battery protection and
reverse leakage protection.
Available in five output voltage options (1.8V, 2.5V,
3.0V, 3.3V and 5.0V), the MIC3490 is offered in a 5-pin
SOT23 package with a junction temperature range of
-40°C to + 125°C.
Applications
• Keep-Alive Supply in Notebook and Portable
Computers
• USB Power Supply
• Logic Supply for High-Voltage Batteries
• Automotive Electronics
• Battery-Powered Systems
• 3 to 4-Cell Li-Ion Battery Input Range

The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of ambient temperature, the maximum allowable
junction temperature and the thermal resistance from junction to air (i.e., T
A
, T
J
,
JA
). Exceeding the
maximum allowable power dissipation will cause the device operating junction temperature to exceed the
maximum +125°C rating. Sustained junction temperatures above +125°C can impact the device reliability.
