MIC5233
High Input Voltage
Low IQ µCap LDO Regulator
General Description
The MIC5233 is a 100mA highly accurate, low dropout
regulator with high input voltage and ultra-low ground
current. This combination of high voltage and low ground
current makes the MIC5233 ideal for multi-cell Li-Ion
battery systems.
A µCap LDO design, the MIC5233 is stable with either
ceramic or tantalum output capacitor. It only requires a
2.2µF capacitor for stability.
Features of the MIC5233 include enable input, thermal-
shutdown, current-limit, reverse-battery protection, and
reverse-leakage protection.
Available in fixed and adjustable output voltage versions,
the MIC5233 is offered in the IttyBitty
®
SOT-23-5 and
SOT223-3 package with a junction temperature range of
−40°C
to +125°C.
