MIC5239
Low Quiescent Current 500mA
µ
Cap LDO Regulator
General Description
The MIC5239 is a low quiescent current,
µCap
low-dropout
regulator. With a maximum operating input voltage of 30V
and a quiescent current of 23µA, it is ideal for supplying keep-
alive power in systems with high voltage batteries.
Capable of 500mA output, the MIC5239 has a dropout
voltage of only 350mV. It can provide high output current for
applications such as USB.
As a
µCap
LDO, the MIC5239 is stable with either a ceramic
or a tantalum output capacitor. It only requires a 3.3µF output
capacitor for stability.
The MIC5239 includes a logic compatible enable input and an
undervoltage error flag indicator. Other features of the
MIC5239 include thermal shutdown, current limit, overvolt-
age shutdown, reverse-leakage protection, and reverse-
battery protection.
Available in the thermally enhanced SOIC-8, MSOP-8 and
SOT-223, the MIC5239 comes in fixed 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V,
3.0V, 3.3V and 5.0V, and adjustable voltages. For other
output voltages, contact Micrel.
All support documentation can be found on Micrel’s web
site at www.micrel.com.

Error FLAG (Output): Open-collector output is active low when the output is
out of regulation due to insufficient input voltage or excessive load. An
external pull-up resistor is required.
Adjustable Feedback Input: Connect to voltage divider network.

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 MIC5239-x.xBMM (all
versions) is 80°C/W, the MIC5239-x.xBM (all versions) is 63°C/W, and the MIC5239-x.xBS (all versions) is 50°C/W mounted on a PC board,see
“Thermal Characteristics” for further details.

Notes:
4. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended. Human body model, 1.5k in series with 100pF.
5. Specification for packaged product only.
Micrel, Inc.
6. Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using pulse testing with a low duty-cycle. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects
are covered by the specification for thermal regulation.
7. Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal value measured at 1.0V
differential.
