MIC5236
Low Quiescent Current
µ
Cap LDO Regulator
Preliminary Information
General Description
The MIC5236 is a low quiescent current,
µCap
low-dropout
regulator. With a maximum operating input voltage of 30V
and a quiescent current of 20µA, it is ideal for supplying keep-
alive power in systems with high-voltage batteries.
Capable of 150mA output, the MIC5236 has a dropout
voltage of only 300mV. It can also survive an input transient
of –20V to +60V.
As a
µCap
LDO, the MIC5236 is stable with either a ceramic
or a tantalum output capacitor. It only requires a 1.0µF output
capacitor for stability.
The MIC5236 includes a logic compatible enable input and an
undervoltage error flag indicator. Other features of the
MIC5236 include thermal shutdown, current-limit, overvolt-
age shutdown, load-dump protection, reverse leakage pro-
tections, and reverse battery protection.
Available in the thermally enhanced SOP-8 and MSOP-8, the
MIC5236 comes in fixed 2.5V, 3.0V, 3.3V, 5.0V, and adjust-
able voltages. For other output voltages, contact Micrel.

Pin Function
Error (Output): Open-collector output is active low when the output is out of
regulation due to insufficient input voltage or excessive load. An external
pull-up resistor is required.
Adjustable Feedback Input. Connect to voltage divider network.
Power supply input.
Regulated Output
Enable (Input): Logic low = shutdown; logic high = enabled.
Ground: Pins 5, 6, 7, and 8 are internally connected in common via the
leadframe.

The absolute maximum positive supply voltage (60V) must be of limited duration (≤100ms) and duty cycle (≤1%). The maximum continuous
supply voltage is 30V.
The maximum allowable power dissipation of 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 termperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. The
θ
JA
of the
MIC5236-x.xBM (all versions) is 63°C/W, and the MIC5236-x.xBMM (all versions) is 80°C/W, mounted on a PC board (see “Thermal Charac-
teristics” for further details).
Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended. Human body model, 1.5k in series with 100pF.
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 pulse testing with a low duty-cycle. Changes in output voltage due to heating
effects are covered by the specification for thermal regulation.
Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal value measured at 1.0V
differential.
