The MIC5271 is a µCap 100 mA negative regulator in
a SOT23-5 package. With better than 2% initial
accuracy, this regulator provides a very accurate
supply voltage for applications that require a negative
rail. The MIC5271 sinks 100 mA of output current at
very low dropout voltage (500 mV typical, 700 mV
maximum at 100 mA of output current).
The µCap regulator design is optimized to work with
low-value, low-cost ceramic capacitors. The output
typically requires only a 1 µF capacitance for stability.
Designed for applications where small packaging and
efficiency are critical, the MIC5271 combines LDO
design expertise with IttyBitty packaging to improve
performance and reduce power dissipation. Ground
current is optimized to help improve battery life in
portable applications. The MIC5271 also includes a
TTL-compatible enable pin, allowing the user to put the
part into a zero-current off mode, in which the ground
current is only ±1 µA, typical.
The MIC5271 is available in the 5-pin SOT23 package
for space saving applications and it is available with an
adjustable output.
