MIC5235
Ultra-Low Quiescent Current, 150 mA
µ
Cap LDO Regulator
Final Information
General Description
The MIC5235 is a 150mA 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 MIC5235 ideal for USB and portable electronics
applications, using 1-cell, 2-cell or 3-cell Li-Ion battery inputs.
A
µCap
LDO design, the MIC5235 is stable with either
ceramic or tantalum output capacitor. It only requires a 2.2µF
capacitor for stability.
Features of the MIC5235 includes enable input, thermal
shutdown, current limit, reverse battery protection, and
reverse leakage protection.
Available in 3.0V and adjustable output voltage verisons, the
MIC5235 is offered in the IttyBitty™ SOT-23-5 package with
a junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.
