The MIC69153 is the 1.5A output current member of the MIC69xxx family of high current, low voltage regulators, that support currents of 1A, 1.5A, 3A, and 5A. The MIC69153 operates from a single low voltage supply, yet offers high precision and ultra-low dropout of 500 mV under worst case conditions. The MIC69153 operates from an input voltage of 1.65V to 5.5V. It is designed to drive digital circuits requiring low voltage at high currents (i.e. PLDs, DSP, microcontroller, etc.). These regulators are available only in adjustable output voltage option and can support output voltages down to 0.5V. The µCap design of the MIC69153 is optimized for stability with low value low ESR ceramic output capacitors. Features of the MIC69153 include thermal shutdown and current-limit protection. Logic enable and error flag pins are also available. The MIC69153 is offered in a tiny 10-pin 3 mm x 3 mm DFN package and an ePAD SOIC-8 package. Both packages have an operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.
