µ
Cap Negative Low-Dropout Regulator
General Description
The MIC5271 is a
µCap
100mA negative regulator in a
SOT-23-5 package. With better than 2% initial accuracy, this
regulator provides a very accurate supply voltage for applica-
tions that require a negative rail. The MIC5271 sinks 100mA
of output current at very low dropout voltage (600mV maxi-
mum at 100mA of output current).
The
µCap
regulator design is optimized to work with low-
value, low-cost ceramic capacitors. The output typically re-
quires only a 1µF capacitance for stability.
Designed for applications where small packaging and effi-
ciency are critical, the MIC5271 combines LDO design exper-
tise with IttyBitty
packaging to improve performance and
reduce power dissipation. Ground current is optimized to help
improve battery life in portable applications. The MIC5271
also includes a TTL-compatible enable pin, allowing the user
to put the part into a zero-current off-mode.
The MIC5271 is available in the SOT-23-5 package for space
saving applications and it is available with an adjustable
output.

Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended.
The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, T
J(max)
, the junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance,
θ
JA
, and the ambient temperature, T
A
. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated using:
P
D(max)
= (T
J(max)
– T
A
) /
θ
JA
, where
θ
JA
is 235°C/W. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive die
temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. See the
“Thermal Considerations”
section for details.
Specification for packaged product only.
Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range.
Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Parts are tested for load regulation in the load
range from 100µA to 100mA. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered by the thermal regulation specification.
Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal value measured at 1V
differential.
Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current plus pass transistor base current. The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of
the load current plus the ground pin current.
