MIC5232
10mA Ultra-Low Quiescent Current
µCap LDO
General Description
The MIC5232 is an ultra-low quiescent current, low-
dropout linear regulator that is capable of operating
from a single-cell lithium ion battery. Consuming only
1.8
µ
A of quiescent current while operating, the
MIC5232 is ideal for stand-by applications like
powering real-time clocks or memory in battery
operated electronics.
The MIC5232 is capable of providing 10mA of output
current and has low output noise, providing a small,
efficient solution ideal for any keep-alive application.
Including reverse current protection, keeping reverse
leakage (V
OUT
> V
IN
) down to 20nA.
The MIC5232 is a µCap design, operating with very
small ceramic output capacitors for stability, reducing
required board space and component cost.
The MIC5232 is available in fixed output voltages in
the miniature 6-pin 2mm x 2mm MLF
®
package and
thin SOT-23-5 package with an operating junction
temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.

Notes:
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

) /
θ
JA
. Exceeding the maximum allowable
power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature.
4. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended.
5. Specification for packaged product only.
6. Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to-output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal V
OUT
. For outputs below
2.7V, dropout voltage is the input-to-output differential with the minimum input voltage 2.7V.
7. Turn-on time is measured from 10% of the positive edge of the enable signal to 90% of the rising edge of the output voltage of the regulator.
