400mA ULDO™
with Ultra-Low IQ
General Description
The MIC5325 is a high-performance, µCap, low-dropout
regulator, offering ultra-low operating current while
maintaining very fast transient response. The MIC5325
can source up to 400mA of output current and allows a low
input supply voltage source to increase system efficiency.
Ideal for battery operated applications; the MIC5325 offers
high accuracy, extremely low dropout voltage, and low
ground current at all load conditions. The MIC5325 can
also be put into a zero-off-mode current state, drawing
virtually no current when disabled.
The MIC5325 is available in fixed-output voltages in the
6-pin 2mm x 2mm Thin MLF
®
leadless package.
Data sheets and support documentation can be found on
Micrel’s web site at

Notes:
1. Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
2. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
3. The maximum allowable power dissipation of any T
A
(ambient temperature) is P
D(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.
4. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended. Human body model, 1.5kΩ in series with 100pF.
5. Specification for packaged product only.
