MIC5237
500mA Low-Dropout Regulator Preliminary Information
General Description
The MIC5237 is a general-purpose low-dropout regulator capable of 500mA output current with better than 3% output voltage accuracy. Using Micrel’s proprietary Super ßeta PNP™ process with a PNP pass element, these regulators feature less than 300mV dropout voltage and typically 8mA ground current at full load. Designed for applications that require moderate current over a broad input voltage range, including hand-held and batterypowered devices, the MIC5237 is intended for applications that can tolerate moderate voltage drop at higher current.
