The MIC5211 is a dual µCap 80mA linear voltage regulator with very low dropout voltage (typically 20mV at light loads), very low ground current (225µA at 20mA output current), and better than 3% initial accuracy. This dual device comes in the miniature SOT-23-6 package, featuring independent logic control inputs. The µCap regulator design is optimized to work with low-value, low-cost ceramic capacitors. The outputs typically require only 0.1µF of output capacitance for stability. Designed especially for hand-held, battery-powered devices, ground current is minimized using Micrel’s proprietary Super ßeta PNP™ technology to prolong battery life. When disabled, power consumption drops nearly to zero. Key features include SOT-23-6 packaging, current limiting, overtemperature shutdown, and protection against reversed battery conditions.
