General Description
The MIC5247 is an efficient and precise, low-voltage CMOS
voltage regulator optimized for ultra-low noise applications.
The MIC5247 offers better than 1% initial accuracy and
85µA constant ground current over load (typically 85µA).
The MIC5247 provides a very low-noise output, ideal for
RF applications where quiet voltage sources are required.
A noise bypass pin is also available for further reduction of
output noise.
Designed specifically for handheld and battery-powered de
-
vices, the MIC5247 provides a logic compatible enable pin.
When disabled, power consumption drops nearly to zero.
The MIC5247 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, a push-
pull output for faster transient response, and an active clamp
to speed up device turnoff. Available in the 6-pin 2mm × 2mm
MLF™ package and the IttyBitty
®
SOT-23-5 package, the
MIC5247 also offers a range of fixed output voltages.
