MIC5156/5157/5158 Micrel, Inc. MIC5156/5157/5158 Super LDO Regulator Controller either 3.3V, 5.0V, or 12V. The MIC5158 can be congured General Description as a xed 5V controller or programmed to any voltage from The MIC5156, MIC5157, and MIC5158 Super Low-Dropout 1.3V to 36V using two external resistors. (LDO) Regulator Controllers are single IC solutions for high- The MIC5156 is available in an 8-pin DIP or SOIC. The current low-dropout linear voltage regulation. Super LDO MIC5157 and MIC5158 are available in a 14-pin DIP or SOIC Regulators have the advantages of an external N-channel which operate from 40C to +85C. power MOSFET as the linear pass element. The MIC5156/7/8 family features a dropout voltage as low as the R of the external power MOSFET multiplied by DS(ON) Features the output current. The output current can be as high as the 4.5mA typical operating current largest MOSFETs can provide. <1A typical standby current The MIC5156/7/8 family operates from 3V to 36V. The Low external parts count MIC5156 requires an external gate drive supply to provide Optional current limit (35mV typical threshold) the higher voltage needed to drive the gate of the external 1% initial output voltage tolerance in most congurations MOSFET. The MIC5157 and MIC5158 each have an inter- 2% output voltage tolerance over temperature nal charge pump tripler to produce the gate drive voltage. Fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5.0V (MIC5156) The tripler is capable of providing enough voltage to drive a Fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5.0V, 12V (MIC5157) logic-level MOSFET to 3.3V output from a 3.5V supply and Programmable (1.3 to 36V) with 2 resistors (MIC5156/8) is clamped to 17.5V above the supply voltage. The tripler Internal charge pump voltage tripler (MIC5157/8) requires three external capacitors. Enable pin to activate or shutdown the regulator The regulator output is constant-current limited when the Internal gate-to-source protective clamp controller detects 35mV across an optional external sense All versions available in DIP and SOIC resistor. An active-low open-collector ag indicates a low Applications voltage of 8% or more below nominal output.
