MIC47050
500mA ULDO™ with Low Input
and Low Output Voltage
General Description
The MIC47050 is a high-speed, ultra-low dropout, dual-
supply NMOS ULDO™ designed to take advantage of
point-of-load applications that use multiple supply rails to
generate a low-voltage, high-current power supply. The
MIC47050 can source 500mA of output current while only
requiring a 1
µ
F ceramic output capacitor for stability. A
1.5% output voltage accuracy, low dropout voltage (44mV
@ 500mA), and low ground current makes this device
ideally suited for mobile and point-of-load applications.
The MIC47050 has an NMOS output stage offering very
low output impedance. The NMOS output stage makes for
a unique ability to respond very quickly to sudden load
changes such as that required by a microprocessor, DSP
or FPGA. The MIC47050 consumes little quiescent current
and therefore can be used for driving the core voltages of
mobile processors, post regulating a core DC/DC
converter in any processor.
The MIC47050 is available in fixed and adjustable output
voltages in the tiny 2mm x 2mm MLF
®
and Thin MLF
®
packages with an operating junction temperature range of
40C
to
125C.

Bias Supply. The bias supply is the power supply for the internal circuitry of the
regulator.
Ground. Ground pins and exposed pad must be connected externally.
Input Supply. Drain of NMOS pass transistor which is the power input voltage for
regulator. The NMOS pass transistor steps down this input voltage to create the
output voltage.
Output. Output Voltage of Regulator.
Power Good Output. Open-drain output. Output is driven low when the output voltage
is less than the power good threshold of its programmed nominal output voltage.
When the output goes above the power good threshold, the open-drain output goes
high-impedance, allowing it to be pulled up to a fixed voltage.
Adjust Input. Connect external resistor divider to program the output voltage.
Enable: TTL/CMOS compatible input. Logic high = enable, logic low = shutdown. Do
not leave floating.
Exposed thermal pad. Connect to the ground plane to maximize thermal performance.

1. Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
2. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
3. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended. Human body model, 1.5kΩ in series with 100pF.
4. Specification for packaged product only.
5. Both VIN and VBIAS UVLO thresholds must be met for the output voltage to turn-on. If either of the two input voltages is below the UVLO thresholds,
the output is disabled.
