MIC5200
100mA Low-Dropout Voltage Regulator
Preliminary Information
General Description
The MIC5200 is an efficient linear voltage regulator with very
low dropout voltage (typically 17mV at light loads and 200mV
at 100mA), and very low ground current (1mA at 100mA
output), offering better than 1% initial accuracy with a logic
compatible ON/OFF switching input. Designed especially for
hand-held battery powered devices, the MIC5200 is switched
by a CMOS or TTL compatible logic signal. The ENABLE
control may be tied directly to V
IN
if unneeded. When disabled,
power consumption drops nearly to zero. The ground current
of the MIC5200 increases only slightly in dropout, further
prolonging battery life. Key MIC5200 features include protec-
tion against reversed battery, current limiting, and over-
temperature shutdown.
The MIC5200 is available in several fixed voltages and
accuracy configurations. Other options are available; contact
Micrel for details.

Note 1:
Micrel
Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Electrical specifications do not
apply when operating the device outside of its rated operating conditions. The maximum allowable power dissipation is a
function of the maximum junction temperature, T
J (MAX)
, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance,
θ
JA
, and the ambient
temperature, T
A
. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated using: P
(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
JC
of the MIC5200-xxBS is 15°C/W and
θ
JA
for the MIC5200BM is 160°C/W
mounted on a PC board (see “Thermal Considerations” section 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 100mA. 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 100mA load pulse at V
IN
= 26V for T = 10ms.
