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. The MIC5211 is available in dual 1.8V, 2.5V, 2.7V, 2.8V, 3.0V, 3.3V, 3.6V, and 5.0V versions. Certain mixed voltages are also available.Stable with low-value ceramic or tantalum capacitors Independent logic controls Low quiescent current Low dropout voltage Mixed voltages available Tight load and line regulation Low temperature coefficient Current and thermal limiting Reversed input polarity protection Zero off-mode current Dual regulator in tiny SOT-23 package 2.5V to 16V input range
