MIC5355/6
Dual 500mA µCap Low Dropout,
Micropower Linear Regulator
General Description
The MIC5355/6 is an advanced dual, micropower, low
dropout linear regulator. The MIC5355/6 provides low
quiescent current operation, using only 70μA with both
outputs enabled making it ideal for battery-powered
systems. In shutdown, the quiescent current drops to less
than 1µA. The MIC5355/6 provides two independently-
controlled high-performance 500mA LDOs with typical
dropout voltage of 350mV at rated load. In addition, the
MIC5355/6 is optimized to provide fast load and line
transient performance with low-ESR ceramic output
capacitors, requiring a minimum of only 2.2µF.
The MIC5356 also incorporates an active discharge
feature when the part is disabled that switches in a 30Ω
load to pull down the output of the regulator. The
MIC5355/6 is available in fixed output voltages in a
thermally-enhanced 8-pin ePad MSOP package or 8-pin
ePad 3mm x 3mm MLF
®
package.

Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
The maximum allowable power dissipation of any T
A
(ambient temperature) is P
D(MAX)
= (T

) /
JA
. Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation will result in excessive die temperature and the register will go into thermal shutdown.
Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended. Human body model, 1.5kΩ in series with 100pF.
