300mA High PSRR
ULDO™ with Ultra-Low IQ
General Description
The MIC5309 is a high performance, µCap low dropout
regulator, offering ultra-low operating current while
maintaining very fast transient response. The MIC5309
can source up to 300mA of output current and can
regulate down from a low input supply voltage to increase
system efficiency.
Ideal for battery operated applications; the MIC5309 offers
extremely low dropout voltage 100mV typically @ 300mA
load, and low ground current at all load conditions
(typically 23µA). The MIC5309 can also be put into a zero-
off-mode current state, drawing virtually no current when
disabled.
The MIC5309 is available in fixed output voltages in the
tiny 6-pin 1.6mm x 1.6mm thin MLF
®
leadless package as
well as the 6-pin TSOT-23 for cost sensitive applications.

Notes:
1. Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
2. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
