MIC5512/14
Single 300mA LDO
in 1.6mm × 1.6mm Thin DFN Package
General Description
The MIC5512/14 is an advanced general-purpose LDO
ideal for powering general-purpose portable devices. The
MIC5512/14 family of products provides a high-
performance 300mA LDO in an ultra-small 1.6mm x
1.6mm Thin DFN package. The MIC5512 and MIC5514
LDOs include an auto-discharge feature on the output that
is activated when the enable pin is low. The MIC5514 have
an internal pull down resistor on the enable pin that will
disable the output when the enable pin is left floating, this
is ideal for applications where the control signal is floating
during processor boot up.
Ideal for battery-powered applications, the MIC5512/14
offers a typical 1% initial accuracy, low dropout voltage
(160mV at 300mA), and low ground current (typically
38µA). The MIC5512/14 can also be put into a zero-off-
mode current state, drawing virtually no current when
disabled.
The MIC5512/14 has an operating junction temperature
range of –40°C to 125°C.

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 are recommended. Human body model, 1.5kΩ in series with 100pF.
5. Specification for packaged product only.

Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Changes in output voltage due to heating 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. For outputs below 2.5V, dropout voltage is the input-to-output differential with the minimum input voltage 2.5V.
Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of the load current plus the ground pin
current.
