MIC5253
100mA Low Noise
µ
Cap Teeny™ LDO
General Description
The MIC5253 is an efficient, CMOS voltage regulator opti-
mized for ultra-low-noise applications. It offers 1.5% initial
accuracy, extremely low dropout voltage (165mV at 100mA),
and low ground current (typically 95µA at full load). The
MIC5253 provides a very low noise output, ideal for RF
applications where a clean voltage source is required. A
noise bypass pin is also available for further reduction of
output noise.
Designed specifically for handheld and battery-powered de-
vices, the MIC5253 provides a TTL-logic-compatible enable
pin. When disabled, power consumption drops nearly to zero.
The MIC5253 also works with low-ESR ceramic capacitors,
reducing the amount of board space necessary for power
applications, critical in handheld wireless devices.
Available in the Teeny™ SC-70-5 package, the MIC5253
offers a wide range of output voltages. Key features include
current limit, thermal shutdown, faster transient response,
and an active clamp to speed up device turn-off.

Thermal Shutdown Hysteresis
Notes:
1. Exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device.
2. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating ratings.
3. 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 temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. The
θ
JA
of the MIC5253-x.xBC5 (all versions) is
400°C/W on a PC board (see ”Thermal Considerations” section for further details).
4. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended.
5. Specification for packaged product only.
6. 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 100mA. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered by the thermal regulation specification.
7. 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.
For outputs below 2.7V, dropout voltage is the input-to-output voltage differential with the minimum input voltage 2.7V. Minimum input operating voltage
is 2.7V.
8. Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of the load current plus the ground pin current.
