MICROCHIP MIC5255-3.3YD5-TR

The MIC5255 is an efficient, precise CMOS voltage regulator optimized for ultra-low-noise applications. It offers 1% initial accuracy, extremely-low dropout voltage (135 mV at 150 mA) and low ground current (typically 117 μA at full load). The MIC5255 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 devices, the MIC5255 provides a TTL-logic-compatible enable pin. When disabled, power consumption drops nearly to zero.

The MIC5255 also works with low-ESR ceramic capacitors, reducing the amount of board space necessary for power applications, critical in handheld wireless devices.

Key features include current limit, thermal shutdown, faster transient response, and an active clamp to speed up device turn-off. Available in the 6-pin 2 mm×2 mm VDFN package, the SOT-23-5 package and the Thin SOT-23-5, which offers the same footprint as the standard SOT-23-5, but is only 1 mm tall. The MIC5255 offers a range of output voltages.
