MIC5235
Ultra-Low Quiescent Current, 150mA
µCap
LDO Regulator
General Description
The MIC5235 is a 150mA 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 MIC5235 ideal for USB and portable
electronics applications, using 1-cell, 2-cell or 3-cell Li-Ion
battery inputs.
A µCap LDO design, the MIC5235 is stable with either
ceramic or tantalum output capacitor. It only requires a
2.2µF capacitor for stability.
Features of the MIC5235 includes enable input, thermal
shutdown, current limit, reverse battery protection, and
reverse leakage protection.
Available in fixed and adjustable output voltage versions,
®
the MIC5235 is offered in the IttyBitty SOT-23-5 package
with a junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.
