MIC49200
2A Low Voltage LDO
with Dual Input Voltages
General Description
The MIC49200 is a high-bandwidth, low-dropout, 2A
voltage regulator ideal for powering core voltages of low-
power microprocessors. The MIC49200 implements a
dual supply configuration allowing for very low output
impedance and very fast transient response.
The MIC49200 requires a bias input supply and a main
input supply, allowing for ultra-low input voltages on the
main supply rail. The input supply operates from 1.4V to
6.5V and the bias supply requires between 3V and 6.5V
for proper operation. The MIC49200 offers
fixed
output
voltages from 0.9V to 1.8V and adjustable output voltages
down to 0.9V.
The MIC49200 requires a minimum of output capacitance
for stability, working optimally with small ceramic
capacitors.
The MIC49200 is available in a 5-pin S-Pak. Its operating
temperature range is –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 range.
3. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended. Human body model, 1.5k in series with 100pF.
4. Specification for packaged product only.

5. For V
OUT
≤

input. 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 V
IN
and 2.2V differential for V
BIAS
.
For outputs below 1.4V, dropout voltage is the input-to-output voltage differential with the minimum input voltage 1.4V.
6. I
GND
= I
BIAS
+ (I
IN
– I
OUT
). At high loads, input current on V
IN
will be less then the output current, due to drive current being supplied by V
BIAS
.
7. Fixed output voltage versions only.
