MIC5327
300mA Low Quiescent Current LDO
General Description
The MIC5327 is a low quiescent current, low dropout
regulator designed for optimal performance in a small
space. The MIC5327 is capable of sourcing 300mA of
output current while only consuming 24µA of operating
current. This high performance LDO offers Low dropout,
fast transient response, good PSRR, and low output
voltage noise.
The MIC5327 is an ideal solution for battery operated
applications due to ultra low quiescent current and
extremely low dropout voltage of 180mV at 300mA.
Equipped with a TTL logic compatible enable pin, the
MIC5327 can be put into a zero-off-mode current state,
drawing virtually no current when disabled.
Board space and component cost is minimized because
the MIC5327 operates with very small 1μF ceramic
capacitors, provides fixed output voltages, and is available
in the tiny 1.2mm x 1.6mm Thin MLF
®
package.
MIC5327 also features thermal shutdown and current limit
protection.
Data sheets and support documentation can be found on

. Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown.
4. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended. Human body model, 1.5kΩ in series with 100pF.
5. Specification for packaged product only.
6. Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing.
7. Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to-output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal V
OUT.
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.
