MIC5256
150mA µCap LDO with Error Flag Final Information
General Description
The MIC5256 is an efficient, precise CMOS voltage regulator. It offers better than 1% initial accuracy, extremely lowdropout 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.
