MIC5203
µCap™ 80mA Low-Dropout Voltage Regulator
General Description
Features
The MIC5203 is a µCap™ 80mA linear voltage regulator with
very low dropout voltage (typically 20mV at light loads and
300mV at 80mA) and very low ground current (225µA at
20mA output), offering better than 3% initial accuracy with a
logic-compatible enable input.
The µCap™ regulator design is optimized to work with lowvalue, low-cost ceramic capacitors. The outputs typically
require only 0.47µF of output capacitance for stability.
Designed especially for hand-held, battery-powered devices,
the MIC5203 can be controlled by a CMOS or TTL compatible
logic signal. When disabled, power consumption drops nearly
to zero. If on-off control is not required, the enable pin may be
tied to the input for 3-terminal operation. The ground current
of the MIC5203 increases only slightly in dropout, further
prolonging battery life. Key MIC5203 features include current
limiting, overtemperature shutdown, and protection against
reversed battery.
The MIC5203 is available in 2.8V, 3.0V, 3.3V, 3.6V, 3.8V,
4.0V, 4.5V, 4.75V, and 5.0V fixed voltages. Other voltages
are available; contact Micrel for details.

Note 1.
Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
Note 2.
The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
Note 3:
The maximum allowable power dissipation at 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 is 250°C/W for
the SOT-143 and 220°C/W for the SOT-23-5 mounted on a printed circuit board.
Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range.
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.
Dropout Voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal value measured at 1V
differential.
Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current plus pass transistor base current. The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of
the load current plus the ground pin current.
Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time “t” after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load or line
regulation effects. Specifications are for a 150mA load pulse at VIN = 16V for t = 10ms.

Applications Information
Input Capacitor
A 0.1µF capacitor should be placed from IN to GND if there
is more than 10 inches of wire between the input and the ac
filter capacitor or when a battery is used as the input.
Output Capacitor
Typical PNP based regulators require an output capacitor to
prevent oscillation. The MIC5203 is ultrastable, requiring only
0.47µF of output capacitance for stability. The regulator is
stable with all types of capacitors, including the tiny, low-ESR
ceramic chip capacitors. The output capacitor value can be
increased without limit to improve transient response.
The capacitor should have a resonant frequency above
500kHz. Ceramic capacitors work, but some dielectrics have
poor temperature coefficients, which will affect the value of
the output capacitor over temperature. Tantalum capacitors
are much more stable over temperature, but typically are
larger and more expensive. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors
will also work, but they have electrolytes that freeze at about
–30C°. Tantalum or ceramic capacitors are recommended
for operation below –25C°.
No-Load Stability
The MIC5203 will remain stable and in regulation with no load
(other than the internal voltage divider) unlike many other
voltage regulators. This is especially important in CMOS
RAM keep-alive applications.
Enable Input
The MIC5203 features nearly zero off-mode current. When
EN (enable input) is held below 0.6V, all internal circuitry is
powered off. Pulling EN high (over 2.0V) re-enables the
device and allows operation. EN draws a small amount of
current, typically 15µA. While the logic threshold is TTL/
CMOS compatible, EN may be pulled as high as 20V,
independent of VIN.
