MIC5231 Micropower Cap LDO Regulator General Description Features The MIC5231 Cap low dropout voltage regulator is Extremely low quiescent currentonly 0.65A intended for low output current biasing applications. It No output capacitor requirement features extremely low ground current, not greater than Stable with ceramic or tantalum capacitors 4A under all load and temperature conditions, making it IttyBitty SOT-23-5 surface-mount package efficient and ideal for keep-alive applications in devices such as notebook computers. 10mA output drive The MIC5231 offers better than 2% initial accuracy and Low 150mV at 10mA dropout voltage low dropout (typically 150mV at 10mA output current). An Tight load and line regulation output capacitor is not required for stable operation, Low temperature coefficient decreasing cost and board space. Tiny ceramic chip Logic-level enable input capacitors may be used to improve transient response. The MIC5231 also features a control pin which allows the regulator to be shut down when not required. Its shutdown- Applications state draws zero current, benefiting battery-powered appli- Real-time clocks cations. SRAM backup The MIC5231 is available in fixed output voltages of 2.75V, Cellular telephones 3.0V, 3.3V and 5V in the small SOT-23-5 IttyBitty package. Contact Micrel for other voltage options.
