MIC2954
250mA Low-Dropout Regulator
General Description
The MIC2954 is a “bulletproof” efficient voltage regulator
with very low dropout voltage (typically 40mV @ light loads
and 375mV @ 250mA), and low quiescent current (120µA
typical). The quiescent current of the MIC2954 increases
only slightly in dropout, thus prolonging battery life. Key
MIC2954 features include protection against reversed
battery, fold-back current limiting, and automotive load
dump protection (60V positive transient).
The MIC2954-07/08BM is an adjustable version that
includes an error flag output that warns of a low output
voltage, which is often due to failing batteries on the input.
This may also be used as a power-on reset. A logic-
compatible shutdown input is provided which enables the
regulator to be switched on and off. This part may be pin-
strapped for 5V output, or programmed from 1.24V to 29V
with the use of two external resistors.
The MIC2954 is available in two voltage tolerances, ±0.5%
maximum and ±1% maximum. Both are guaranteed for
junction temperatures from –40°C to +125°C.
