Note 4...................................................................................... 2kVDescriptionThe MIC5256 is an efficient, precise CMOS voltage regulator. It offers better than 1% initial accuracy, extremely lowdropout voltage (typically 135mV at150mA) and low ground current (typically 90 µ A) over load. The MIC5256 features an error flag that indicates an output fault condition such as overcurrent, thermal shutdown and dropout.
Designed specifically for handheld and battery-powered de- vices, the MIC5256 provides a TTL-logic-compatible enable pin. When disabled, power consumption drops nearly to zero. The MIC5256 also works with low-ESR ceramic capacitors, reducing the amount of board space necessary for power applications, critical in hand-held wireless devices.
Key features of MIC5256 include current limit, thermal shutdown, faster transient response, and an active clamp to speed up device turnoff. Available in the IttyBitty™ SOT-23-5 package and the new Thin SOT-23-5, which offers the same footprint as the standard IttyBitty™ SOT-23-5, but only 1mm tall. The MIC5256 offers a range of output voltages.
