MIC5375/6/7/8
High Performance Low Dropout 150mA LDO
General Description
The MIC5375/6/7/8 is an advanced general purpose linear
regulator offering low dropout in an ultra small package.
The MIC5375/6 provides fixed output voltage in a 1mm x
1mm Thin MLF
®
package while the MIC5377/8 provides
adjustable output voltage in a 1.2mm x 1.2mm Thin MLF
®
package. When the MIC5376/8 is disabled an internal
resistive load is automatically applied to the output to
discharge the output capacitor. The MIC5375/6/7/8 is
capable of sourcing 150mA output current with low dropout
making it an ideal solution for any portable electronic
application.
Ideal for battery powered applications, the MIC5375/6/7/8
offers 2% initial accuracy, low dropout voltage (120mV at
150mA), and ground current (typically 29µA). The
MIC5375/6/7/8 can also be put into a zero-off-mode
current state, drawing virtually no current when disabled.
The MIC5375/6 is available in lead-free (RoHS compliant)
1mm x 1mm Thin MLF
®
and SC-70-5. The MIC5377/8 is
available in lead-free (RoHS compliant) 1.2mm x 1.2mm
Thin MLF
®
and SC-70-5.
The MIC5375/6/7/8 has an operating junction temperature
range of –40°C to 125°C.

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.
4. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended. Human body model, 1.5kΩ in series with 100pF.
5. Specification for packaged product only.
6. Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing.
7. 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.
For outputs below 2.5V, dropout voltage is the input-to-output differential with the minimum input voltage 2.5V.
8. Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of the load current plus the ground pin
current.
