regulator optimized for ultra-low-noise applications. It
•
Thin SOT package: 1mm height SOT-23-5
offers 1% initial accuracy, extremely-low dropout voltage
•
Ultra-low output noise: 30µV(rms)
(135mV at 150mA) and low ground current (typically
•
Stability with ceramic output capacitors
90µA). The MIC5255 provides a very-low-noise output,
•
Ultra-low dropout: 135mV @ 150mA
ideal for RF applications where a clean voltage source is
required. A noise bypass pin is also available for further

High output accuracy:
reduction of output noise.
– 1.0% initial accuracy
Designed specifically for handheld and battery-powered
– 2.0% over temperature
devices, the MIC5255 provides a TTL-logic-compatible en-

Notes:
1. Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
2. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
MIC5255
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 MIC5255-x.xBM5 (all versions) is
235°C/W on a PC board. See “Thermal Considerations” section for further details.
4. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended. Human body model, 1.5k in series with 100pF.
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 1.0mA to 150mA. 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.
