MIC5203
μCap
80mA Low-Dropout Regulator
General Description
The MIC5203 is a µCap 80mA linear voltage regulator with
very low dropout voltage (typically 20mV at light loads and
300mV at 80mA) and very low ground current (225µA at
20mA output), offering better than 3% initial accuracy with
a logic-compatible enable input.
TheµCap regulator design is optimized to work with low-
value, low-cost ceramic capacitors. The outputs typically
require only 0.47µF of output capacitance for stability.
Designed especially for hand-held, battery-powered
devices, the MIC5203 can be controlled by a CMOS or
TTL compatible logic signal. When disabled, power
consumption drops nearly to zero. If on-off control is not
required, the enable pin may be tied to the input for 3-
terminal operation. The ground current of the MIC5203
increases only slightly in dropout, further prolonging
battery life. Key MIC5203 features include current limiting,
overtemperature shutdown, and protection against
reversed battery.
The MIC5203 is available in 2.8V, 3.0V, 3.3V, 3.6V, 3.8V,
4.0V, 4.5V, 4.75V, and 5.0V fixed voltages. Other voltages
are available.

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 at any T
A
(ambient temperature) is P
D(MAX)
= (T
J(MAX)
– T
A
)
÷ θ
JA
. Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. The
θ
JA
is 250°C/W for the SOT-143 and 220°C/W
for the SOT-23-5 mounted on a printed circuit board.
4. Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst-case voltage change divided by the total temperature range.
5. Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Parts are tested for load regulation in the load range from
0.1mA to 150mA. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered by the thermal regulation specification.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time “t” after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load or line
regulation effects. Specifications are for a 150mA load pulse at V
IN
= 16V for t = 10ms.
