MIC59300
Ultra High Speed 3A LDO
General Description
The MIC59300 is a high-bandwidth, low-dropout, 3A linear
voltage regulator ideal for powering core voltages of low-
power microprocessors. The MIC59300 implements a dual
supply configuration allowing for a very low output
impedance and a very fast transient response.
The MIC59300 requires a bias input supply and a main
input supply, allowing for ultra-low input voltages on the
main supply rail. The device operates from an input supply
of 1.0V to 3.8V and bias supply between 3V and 5.5V. The
MIC59300 offers
fixed
output voltages and adjustable
output voltages down to 0.5V.
The MIC59300 requires a minimum output capacitance for
stability, working optimally with small ceramic capacitors.
The MIC59300 is available in a 5-pin TO-263 and an 8-pin
EPAD SOIC package and its junction temperature range is
–40°C to +125°C.
