MIC5256
150mA µCap LDO with Error Flag
General Description
Features
The MIC5256 is an efficient, precise CMOS voltage
regulator. It offers better than 1% initial accuracy,
extremely low-dropout voltage (typically 135mV at 150mA)
and low ground current (typically 90µA) 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
devices, 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 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.

Thermal Protection
Notes:
1. Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
2. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
3. The maximum allowable power dissipation of any TA (ambient temperature) is PD(max) = TJ(max)–TA / θJA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. The θJA of the MIC5255-x.xBM5 (all versions) is
235°C/W on a PC board (see “Thermal Considerations” section for further details).
4. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended.
5. Specification for packaged product only.
6. Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Parts are tested for load regulation in the load range from
0.1mA to 150mA. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered by the thermal regulation specification.
7. Dropout Voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal value measured at 1Vdifferential.
For outputs below 2.7V, dropout voltage is the input-to-output voltage differential with the minimum input voltage 2.7V. Minimum input operating
voltage is 2.7V.
8. Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of the load current plus the ground pin
current.

MIC5256
drain transistor to indicate a fault. This prevents
chattering or inadvertent triggering of the error flag. The
error flag must be pulled-up using a resistor from the flag
pin to either the input or the output.
The error flag circuit was designed essentially to work
with a capacitor to ground to act as a power-on reset
generator, signaling a power-good situation once the
regulated voltage was up and/or out of a fault condition.
This capacitor delays the error signal from pulling high,
allowing the down stream circuits time to stabilize. When
the error flag is pulled-up to the input without using a
pull-down capacitor, then there can be a glitch on the
error flag upon start up of the device. This is due to the
response time of the error flag circuit as the device starts
up. When the device comes out of the “zero” off mode
current state, all the various nodes of the circuit power
up before the device begins supplying full current to the
output capacitor. The error flag drives low immediately
and then releases after a few microseconds. The
intelligent circuit that triggers an error detects the output
going into current limit AND the output being low while
charging the output capacitor. The error output then pulls
low for the duration of the turn-on time. A capacitor from
the error flag to ground will filter out this glitch. The glitch
does not occur if the error flag pulled up to the output.
Application Information
Enable/Shutdown
The MIC5256 comes with an active-high enable pin that
allows the regulator to be disabled. Forcing the enable
pin low disables the regulator and sends it into a “zero”
off-mode-current state. In this state, current consumed
by the regulator goes nearly to zero. Forcing the enable
pin high enables the output voltage. This part is CMOS
and the enable pin cannot be left floating; a floating
enable pin may cause an indeterminate state on the
output.
Input Capacitor
The MIC5256 is a high-performance, high-bandwidth
device. Therefore, it requires a well-bypassed input
supply for optimal performance. A 1µF capacitor is
required from the input to ground to provide stability.
Low-ESR
ceramic
capacitors
provide
optimal
performance at a minimum of space. Additional highfrequency capacitors, such as small valued NPO
dielectric type capacitors, help filter out high frequency
noise and are good practice in any RF based circuit.
Output capacitor
The MIC5256 requires an output capacitor for stability.
The design requires 1µF or greater on the output to
maintain stability. The design is optimized for use with
low-ESR ceramic-chip capacitors. High-ESR capacitors
may cause high-frequency oscillation. The maximum
recommended ESR is 300mΩ. The output capacitor can
be increased, but performance has been optimized for a
1µF ceramic output capacitor and does not improve
significantly with larger capacitance.
X7R/X5R dielectric-type ceramic capacitors are
recommended
because
of
their
temperature
performance. X7R-type capacitors change capacitance
by 15% over their operating temperature range and are
the most stable type of ceramic capacitors. Z5U and
Y5V dielectric capacitors change value by as much as
50% and 60% respectively over their operating
temperature ranges. To use a ceramic chip capacitor
with Y5V dielectric, the value must be much higher than
an X7R ceramic capacitor to ensure the same minimum
capacitance over the equivalent operating temperature
range.
Active Shutdown
The MIC5256 also features an active shutdown clamp,
which is an N-channel MOSFET that turns on when the
device is disabled. This allows the output capacitor and
load to discharge, de-energizing the load.
No Load Stability
The MIC5256 will remain stable and in regulation with no
load unlike many other voltage regulators. This is
especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive
applications.
Thermal Considerations
The MIC5256 is designed to provide 150mA of
continuous current in a very small package. Maximum
power dissipation can be calculated based on the output
current and the voltage drop across the part. To
determine the maximum power dissipation of the
package, use the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance
of the device and the following basic equation:
Error Flag
The error flag output is an active-low, open-drain output
that drives low when a fault condition AND an undervoltage detection occurs. Internal circuitry intelligently
monitors overcurrent, overtemperature and dropout
conditions and ORs these outputs together to indicate
some fault condition. The output of that OR gate is
ANDed with an output voltage monitor that detects an
undervoltage condition. That output drives the openAugust 2010

TJ(max) is the maximum junction temperature of the die,
125°C, and TA is the ambient operating temperature. θJA

can be determined. Because this device is CMOS and
the ground current is typically 100µA over the load
range, the power dissipation contributed by the ground
current is < 1% and can be ignored for this calculation.
315mW = (VIN – 3.0V) 150mA
315mW = VIN·•150mA – 450mW
810mW = VIN·•150mA
VIN(max) = 5.4V
Table 1. SOT-23-5 Thermal Resistance
Therefore, a 3.0V application at 150mA of output current
can accept a maximum input voltage of 5.4V in a SOT23-5 package. For a full discussion of heat sinking and
thermal effects on voltage regulators, refer to the
“Regulator Thermals” section of Micrel’s Designing with
Low-Dropout Voltage Regulators handbook.
The actual power dissipation of the regulator circuit can
be determined using the equation:
PD = (VIN – VOUT) IOUT + VIN IGND
Fixed Regulator Applications
Substituting PD(max) for PD and solving for the operating
conditions that are critical to the application will give the
maximum operating conditions for the regulator circuit.
For example, when operating the MIC5256-3.0BM5 at
50°C with a minimum footprint layout, the maximum
input voltage for a set output current can be determined
as follows:
⎛ 125°C − 50°C ⎞
PD(max) = ⎜
⎟
⎝ 235°C/W ⎠
Figure 1. Low-Noise Fixed Voltage Application
PD(max) = 315mW
Figure 1 shows a standard low-noise configuration with a
47kΩ pull-up resistor from the error flag to the input
voltage and a pull-down capacitor to ground for the
purpose of fault indication. EN (Pin 3) is connected to IN
(Pin 1) for an application where enable/shutdown is not
required. COUT = 1.0µF minimum.
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the
minimum footprint is 235°C/W, from Table 1. The
maximum power dissipation must not be exceeded for
proper operation. Using the output voltage of 3.0V and
an output current of 150mA, the maximum input voltage
