MIC49500
5A Dual Supply, Low Voltage,
High Bandwidth LDO
General Description
The MIC49500 is an ultra-high-bandwidth, low-
dropout, 5.0A voltage regulator ideal for powering
core voltages of low-voltage microprocessors. The
MIC49500 implements a dual supply configuration
allowing for very low output impedance and very fast
transient response.
The MIC49500 requires a bias input supply and a
main input supply, allowing for ultra-low input voltages
on the main supply rail. The input supply operates
from 1.4V to 6V and the bias supply requires between
3V and 6V for proper operation. The MIC49500 can
regulate to an output voltage as low as 0.7V, making it
an ideal product for low-voltage to low-voltage
conversion.
The MIC49500 requires a minimum of output
capacitance for stability, working optimally with any
type of capacitor, including small ceramic capacitors.
Available in fixed output voltages from 0.9V to 1.8V
and adjustable output voltages down to 0.7V, the
MIC49500 comes in both 7-pin S-Pak and TO-263
packages. The MIC49500 is rated to the full operating
temperature range of –40°C to 125°C junction
temperature.

Pin Function
Enable: TTL/CMOS compatible input. Logic high = enable,
logic low or open = shutdown.
Bias Supply: Bias supply input for powering all internal circuitry of
the device, except the main current path.
Input Voltage: Main Power Input Supply. Supplies main current
to output device.
Ground (TAB is connected to Ground).
Output Voltage: Regulator Output.
No Connect
Remote Voltage Sense: Connect direct the load to improve
regulation. Connect direct to pin 5 if not used.
Adjust Input. Connect external resistor divider to program output
voltage.
