Product details
Overview
MIC2211-GKYML-TR from Micrel is a dual µCap low dropout regulator IC delivering 1.8V/2.6V fixed outputs, supporting 150mA on VOUT1 and 300mA on VOUT2, with 80mV dropout at 100mA and 48µA total quiescent current - ideal for baseband processor power in cellular handsets.
For engineers reviewing the MIC2211-GKYML-TR datasheet, MIC2211-GKYML-TR pinout, MIC2211-GKYML-TR application, or MIC2211-GKYML-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-output sequencing capability, ceramic-capacitor stability, ultra-low ground current in active and shutdown states, and MLF™-10 package thermal performance.
Technical Context
The MIC2211-GKYML-TR integrates two independent LDO regulators sharing a common VIN input but featuring separate TTL-compatible enable pins (EN1, EN2) for individual output control. Each regulator uses a µCap architecture requiring only 1µF ceramic output capacitors and a 0.01µF bypass capacitor on CBYP to achieve high PSRR (60dB @ 1kHz) and low noise (30µVrms).
It operates across 2.25V–5.5V input range with thermal shutdown and current limit protection. The internal reference is bypassed via CBYP to reduce output voltage noise and improve ripple rejection, while the exposed pad (EP) connects to GND for thermal dissipation in the 3mm × 3mm MLF™ package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltages | 1.8V (VOUT1), 2.6V (VOUT2) - fixed, factory-trimmed for ±1.0% initial accuracy |
| Max Output Current | 150mA on VOUT1, 300mA on VOUT2 - supports simultaneous core/I/O rail powering |
| Dropout Voltage | 80mV @ 100mA load - enables operation near battery end-of-life (e.g., 2.7V input for 2.6V output) |
| Quiescent Current | 48µA total (24µA per LDO) - extends battery life in standby mode |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.25V to 5.5V - compatible with Li-ion, Li-poly, and 3.3V/5V system rails |
| PSRR | 60dB @ 1kHz, 40dB @ 20kHz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters |
| Thermal Protection | Integrated thermal shutdown - prevents damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-pin 3mm × 3mm MLF™ (MicroLeadFrame) with exposed thermal pad (EP), RoHS-compliant, Pb-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Common input supply | Shared input for both LDOs; must be bypassed with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor close to pin |
| EN1 (Pin 2) | Enable for Regulator 1 | Active-high TTL logic input; drives VOUT1 on/off independently; requires ≥1.8V to enable |
| EN2 (Pin 3) | Enable for Regulator 2 | Active-high TTL logic input; drives VOUT2 on/off independently; allows staggered power-up sequencing |
| CBYP (Pin 4) | Reference bypass | Connects to 0.01µF capacitor to GND to reduce output noise and boost PSRR |
| NC (Pins 5,7,8) | No connection | Unbonded; must remain unconnected and unstubbed on PCB |
| GND (Pin 6 & EP) | Ground return | Pins 6 and exposed pad both connect to system GND; EP improves thermal resistance (θJA = 60°C/W) |
| VOUT2 (Pin 9) | Regulator 2 output | Delivers 2.6V @ up to 300mA; requires 1µF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitor for stability |
| VOUT1 (Pin 10) | Regulator 1 output | Delivers 1.8V @ up to 150mA; decoupled separately to avoid cross-regulator coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent LDOs | Enables discrete power domain control - e.g., VOUT1 powers baseband core (1.8V), VOUT2 powers I/O interface (2.6V) |
| µCap ceramic-stable design | Eliminates need for large tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors - reduces board area and BOM cost |
| Zero-off-mode shutdown | Draws only 2.0µA total when both EN1 and EN2 are low - critical for long-term battery storage |
| ±1.0% initial output accuracy | Meets tight voltage tolerance requirements of modern baseband processors without external trimming |
| Thermal & current limiting | Self-protecting under short-circuit or overtemperature conditions - no external circuitry required |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIC2211-GMYML-TR | Fixed 1.8V/2.8V outputs; 200mV higher dropout at full load on VOUT2 | Better suited for systems needing 2.8V I/O rail (e.g., SDIO, USB PHY) instead of 2.6V | Select when 2.8V interface compliance is required and margin exists for higher dropout |
| TSM10221DUALTR | 1.5V/2.6V outputs; 65µA quiescent current; requires larger 4.7µF output capacitors | Targets industrial temperature range (–40°C to +105°C) with tighter load regulation (±0.5%) | Choose for extended temp operation where lower accuracy and higher IQ are acceptable trade-offs |
Compared with MIC2211-GMYML-TR and TSM10221DUALTR, the MIC2211-GKYML-TR offers optimal balance of low dropout (80mV), ultra-low IQ (48µA), and 2.6V I/O compatibility - making it preferred for space-constrained, battery-sensitive handheld designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MIC2211-GKYML-TR?
The MIC2211-GKYML-TR has an absolute maximum input voltage of 7V, but its specified operating range is 2.25V to 5.5V. Exceeding 5.5V may cause permanent damage or violate safety margins defined in the datasheet. Always maintain VIN within 2.25V–5.5V for reliable operation of the MIC2211-GKYML-TR in production designs.
Does the MIC2211-GKYML-TR require external resistors to set output voltage?
No - the MIC2211-GKYML-TR is a fixed-output variant with factory-trimmed 1.8V and 2.6V regulators. External resistors are only needed for adjustable versions (e.g., MIC2211-AAYML). The MIC2211-GKYML-TR delivers its rated outputs without any external feedback components.
Can both outputs of the MIC2211-GKYML-TR be enabled simultaneously?
Yes - the MIC2211-GKYML-TR supports concurrent operation of both regulators. Applying logic-high signals (>1.8V) to both EN1 and EN2 enables VOUT1 (1.8V) and VOUT2 (2.6V) simultaneously. Independent control allows flexible sequencing, including staggered startup or selective shutdown for power optimization.
What type of output capacitor is recommended for the MIC2211-GKYML-TR?
X7R or X5R dielectric 1µF ceramic capacitors are recommended for each output of the MIC2211-GKYML-TR. These provide stable capacitance over temperature and ensure loop stability. Z5U or Y5V types are discouraged due to excessive capacitance drift (>50%), which may compromise regulation under varying thermal conditions.
Is the exposed pad (EP) on the MIC2211-GKYML-TR electrically connected?
Yes - the exposed pad (EP) of the MIC2211-GKYML-TR is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to a PCB ground plane. This connection is essential for thermal performance (θJA = 60°C/W) and electrical integrity. Leaving EP floating degrades thermal dissipation and may cause overheating or regulation failure.
