MIC5233
High Input Voltage, Low IQ
µ
Cap LDO Regulator
General Description
The MIC5233 is a 100mA 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 MIC5233 ideal for multi-cell Li-Ion battery
systems.
A
µCap
LDO design, the MIC5233 is stable with either
ceramic or tantalum output capacitor. It only requires a 2.2µF
capacitor for stability.
Features of the MIC5233 include enable input, thermal shut-
down, current limit, reverse battery protection, and
reverse leakage protection.
Available in fixed and adjustable output voltage versions, the
MIC5233 is offered in the IttyBitty™ SOT-23-5 package with
a junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.
