MIC5238
Ultra-Low Quiescent Current, 150mA
µCap LDO Regulator
General Description
The MIC5238 is an ultra-low voltage output, 150mA LDO
regulator. Designed to operate in a single supply or dual
supply mode, the MIC5238 consumes only 23µA of bias
current, improving efficiency. When operating in the dual
supply mode, the efficiency greatly improves as the higher
voltage supply is only required to supply the 23µA bias
current while the output and base drive comes off of the
much lower input supply voltage.
As a µCap regulator, the MIC5238 operates with a 2.2µF
ceramic capacitor on the output, offering a smaller overall
solution. It also incorporates a logic-level enable pin that
allows the MIC5238 to be put into a zero off-current mode
when disabled.
The MIC5238 is fully protected with current limit and
®
thermal shutdown. It is offered in the IttyBitty SOT-23-5
package with an operating junction temperature range of
–40°C to +125°C.

3. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended. Human body model, 1.5k in series with 100pF.
4. Specification for packaged product only.
5. Line regulation measures a change in output voltage due to a change in the bias voltage.
6. Current measured from bias input to ground.
7. Current differential between output current and main input current at rated load current.
