General Description
The MIC5201 is an efficient linear voltage regulator
with very low dropout voltage (typically 17 mV at light
loads and 200 mV at 100 mA), and very low ground
current (1 mA at 100 mA output), offering better than
1% initial accuracy with a logic compatible on-off
switching input.
Designed especially for hand-held battery powered
devices, the MIC5201 can be switched by a CMOS or
TTL compatible enable signal. This enable control may
be connected directly to V
IN
if unneeded. When
disabled, power consumption drops nearly to zero. The
ground current of the MIC5201 increases only slightly
in dropout, further prolonging battery life. Key MIC5201
features include current limiting, overtemperature
shutdown, and protection against reversed battery.
The MIC5201 is available in several fixed voltages and
accuracy configurations. It features the same pinout as
the LT1121 with better performance. Other options are
available; contact Microchip for details.

† Notice:
Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device.
This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at those or any other conditions above those indicated
in the operational sections of this specification is not intended. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended
periods may affect device reliability.
‡ Notice:
The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating ratings.
Note 1:
The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, T
J(max)
, the
junction-to-ambient thermal resistance,
θ
JA
, and the ambient temperature, T
A
. The maximum allowable
power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated using: P
(max)
= (T
J(max)
– T
A
) ÷
θ
JA
. Exceeding
the maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go
into thermal shutdown.

Specification for packaged product only. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended.
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 0.1 mA to 200 mA. Changes in output voltage due to heat-
ing 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 dissipa-
tion is applied, excluding load or line regulation effects. Specifications are for a 200 mA load pulse at V
IN
=
26V for fixed and V
IN
= 16V for adjustable at t = 10 ms.
