MIC5305
150mA µCap Ultra-Low Dropout LDO Regulator
General Description
Features
The MIC5305 is a high-performance, 150mA LDO regulator,
offering extremely high PSRR and very low noise while
consuming low ground current.
Ideal for battery-operated applications, the MIC5305 features 1% accuracy, extremely low-dropout voltage (60mV @
150mA), and low ground current at light load (typically 90µA).
Equipped with a logic-compatible enable pin, the MIC5305
can be put into a zero-off-mode current state, drawing no
current when disabled.
The MIC5305 is a µCap design operating with very small
ceramic output capacitors for stability, thereby reducing
required board space and component cost.
The MIC5305 is available in fixed-output voltages and adjustable output voltages in the super-compact 2mm × 2mm
MLF™-6 leadless package and thin SOT-23-5 package.
Additional voltage options are available. Contact Micrel
marketing.

Notes:
1. Exceeding maximum ratings may damage the device.
2. The device is not guaranteed to work outside its operating ratings.
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.
4. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended. Human Body Model.
5. Specification for packaged product only.
6. Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing, 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 1V differential. For outputs below 2.25V, dropout voltage is the input-to-output differential with the minimum input voltage 2.25V.
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.

No-Load Stability
Unlike many other voltage regulators, the MIC5305 will
remain stable and in regulation with no load. This is especially
import in CMOS RAM keep-alive applications.
Adjustable Regulator Application
Adjustable regulators use the ratio of two resistors to multiply
the reference voltage to produce the desired output voltage.
The MIC5305 can be adjusted from 1.25V to 5.5V by using
two external resistors (Figure 1). The resistors set the output
voltage based on the following equation:
Applications Information
Enable/Shutdown
The MIC5305 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-modecurrent state. In this state, current consumed by the regulator
goes nearly to zero. Forcing the enable pin high enables the
output voltage. The active-high enable pin uses CMOS
technology and the enable pin cannot be left floating; a
floating enable pin may cause an indeterminate state on the
output.
Input Capacitor
The MIC5305 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 high frequency 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 MIC5305 requires an output capacitor of 1µF or greater
to maintain stability. The design is optimized for use with lowESR ceramic chip capacitors. High ESR capacitors may
cause high frequency oscillation. 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. X7Rtype 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.
Bypass Capacitor
A capacitor can be placed from the noise bypass pin to
ground to reduce output voltage noise. The capacitor bypasses the internal reference. A 0.1µF capacitor is recommended for applications that require low-noise outputs. The
bypass capacitor can be increased, further reducing noise
and improving PSRR. Turn-on time increases slightly with
respect to bypass capacitance. A unique, quick-start circuit
allows the MIC5305 to drive a large capacitor on the bypass
pin without significantly slowing turn-on time. Refer to the
Typical Characteristics section for performance with different
bypass capacitors.

Thermal Considerations
The MIC5305 is designed to provide 150mA of continuous
current in a very small package. Maximum ambient operating
temperature can be calculated based on the output current
and the voltage drop across the part. Given that the input
voltage is 5.0V, the output voltage is 2.9V and the output
current = 150mA.
The actual power dissipation of the regulator circuit can be
determined using the equation:
PD = (VIN – VOUT) IOUT + VIN IGND
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.
PD = (5.0V – 2.9V) × 150mA
PD = 0.32W
To determine the maximum ambient operating temperature
of the package, use the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the device and the following basic equation:
 T (max) − TA 
PD (max) =  J

θ JA


TJ(max) = 125°C, the max. junction temperture of the die
θJA thermal resistance = 93°C/W

Table 1. SOT-23-5 Thermal Resistance
Therefore, a 2.9V application at 150mA of output current can
accept an ambient operating temperature of 95.2°C in a 2mm
x 2mm MLF™-6 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 LowDropout Voltage Regulators handbook. This information can
be found on Micrel's website at:
http://www.micrel.com/_PDF/other/LDOBk_ds.pdf
Substituting PD for PD(max) and solving for the ambient
operating temperature will give the maximum operating conditions for the regulator circuit. The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the minimum footprint is 93°C/W, from
Table 1. The maximum power dissipation must not be exceeded for proper operation.
For example, when operating the MIC5305-2.9BML at an
input voltage of 5.0V and 150mA load with a minimum
footprint layout, the maximum ambient operating temperature TA can be determined as follows:
