MIC5337
1.2mm x 1.6mm 300mA Low I
Q
LDO
Ultra Low Dropout with Auto Discharge
General Description
The MIC5337 is a low quiescent current, low dropout
regulator with an internal auto discharge feature designed
for optimal performance in a small space. The MIC5337 is
capable of sourcing 300mA of output current while only
consuming 24µA of operating current. When the MIC5337
is disabled an internal resistive load is automatically
applied to the output to discharge the output capacitor.
This high performance LDO offers fast transient response
as well as maintaining a high PSRR.
The MIC5337 is an ideal solution for battery operated
applications due to ultra low operating current and
extremely low dropout voltage of 180mV at 300mA.
Equipped with a TTL logic compatible enable pin, the
MIC5337 can be put into a zero-off-mode current state,
drawing virtually no current when disabled.
Board space and component cost is minimized because
the MIC5337 operates with very small 1μF ceramic
capacitors, provides fixed output voltages, and is available
in the tiny 1.2mm x 1.6mm Thin MLF package.
Data sheets and support documentation can be found on
Micrel’s web site at www.micrel.com.

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; changes in output voltage due to heating effects are
covered by the thermal regulation specification.
7. Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to-output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal V
OUT
.
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.
