MIC5216
500mA-Peak Output LDO Regulator
General Description
The MIC5216 is an efficient linear voltage regulator with
high peak output current capability, very low dropout
voltage, and better than 1% output voltage accuracy.
Dropout is typically 10mV at light loads and less than
500mV at full load.
The MIC5216 is designed to provide a peak output current
for startup conditions where higher inrush current is
demanded. It features a 500mA peak output rating.
Continuous output current is limited only by package and
layout.
The MIC5216 has an internal undervoltage monitor with a
flag output. It also can be enabled or shutdown by a
CMOS or TTL compatible signal. When disabled, power
consumption drops nearly to zero. Dropout ground current
is minimized to help prolong battery life. Other key features
include reversed-battery protection, current limiting,
overtemperature shutdown, and low noise performance.
The MIC5216 is available in fixed output voltages in
space-saving SOT-23-5 and MM8™ 8-pin power MSOP
packages. For higher power requirements see the
MIC5209 or MIC5237.

Notes:
1. 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 operating ratings. 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
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. See Table 1 and the “Thermal Considerations” section for details.
2. Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range.
3. Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Parts are tested for load regulation in the load range from
100mA to 500mA. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered by the thermal regulation specification.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. V
EN
is the voltage externally applied to devices with the EN (enable) input pin.
7. 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 500mA load pulse at V
IN
= 12V for t = 10ms.
8. The error flag comparator includes 3% hysteresis.
