Product details
Overview
MIC2876-5.25YMT-TR from Microchip Technology is a fixed-output, 2 MHz synchronous boost regulator with bi-directional load disconnect, 4.8A switch current capability, and integrated anti-ringing switch. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input and delivers a precise 5.25V output, enabling USB OTG host power and portable power reserve supplies in space-constrained designs.
For engineers reviewing the MIC2876-5.25YMT-TR datasheet, MIC2876-5.25YMT-TR pinout, MIC2876-5.25YMT-TR application, or MIC2876-5.25YMT-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5.25V fixed output voltage, 2 mm × 2 mm UDFN-8 package with exposed thermal pad, <1 µA shutdown current, bypass mode operation when VIN ≥ VOUT, and bi-directional true load disconnect functionality.
Technical Context
The MIC2876-5.25YMT-TR implements a current-mode PWM control architecture operating at 2 MHz with internal 4.8A MOSFET switches (NMOS high-side, PMOS synchronous rectifier). Its bi-directional disconnect uses an "always-on" maximum supply selector that functions down to 0.3V on IN, isolating OUT from IN during shutdown regardless of relative voltage polarity.
It integrates an anti-ringing switch that clamps SW to IN during DCM to dissipate parasitic energy, reducing EMI. Automatic bypass mode activates when VIN exceeds VOUT, turning off the NMOS and fully enhancing the PMOS for low-impedance conduction - distinct from standard LDO or pass-through behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.25V ±1.5% - ensures stable USB OTG/HDMI host compliance without external feedback components. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), Li-polymer, or dual-cell NiMH inputs directly. |
| Switch Current Limit | 4.8A typical - enables high-current boost for parallel lithium cell applications up to ~2.5A continuous output. |
| Shutdown Current | <1 µA - minimizes battery drain in always-on portable equipment during standby. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 2 MHz ±20% - allows use of compact 1 µH inductors and reduces output ripple without sacrificing efficiency. |
| Junction Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and automotive cabin-adjacent portable electronics environments. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 90°C/W - requires PCB thermal vias under EP pad to sustain >1.2A output at ambient temperatures above 60°C. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin 2 mm × 2 mm UDFN (MT) with exposed thermal pad (EP), RoHS-compliant, moisture-sensitive level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SW | Boost Switch Node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - must be routed short and away from noise-sensitive nodes. |
| 2 PGND | Power Ground | High-current return path for internal MOSFETs; separate from AGND and connected at single-point ePad. |
| 3 IN | Supply Input | Accepts 2.5–5.5V input; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to AGND placed adjacent to pin. |
| 4 AGND | Analog Ground | Reference for control loop and feedback; tied to EP pad and connected to PGND at one point only. |
| 5 OUTS | Output Voltage Sense | Fixed-output version only; connects directly to OUT to close regulation loop - no external resistors needed. |
| 6 EN | Enable Input | Active-high logic control (1.5V threshold); internal 2.5 MΩ pull-down allows floating-disable operation. |
| 7 /PG | Open-Drain Power Good | Active-low signal indicates VOUT ≥ 0.9×VOUT; requires external 1 MΩ pull-up for system monitoring. |
| 8 OUT | Boost Output | Delivers regulated 5.25V; requires ≥22 µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to PGND near the pin. |
| EP | Exposed Thermal Pad | Must be soldered to AGND plane with ≥6 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) for thermal performance and reliability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bi-directional true load disconnect | Prevents leakage between IN and OUT during shutdown - critical for battery-backed systems where reverse current must be blocked regardless of which side is higher potential. |
| Integrated anti-ringing switch | Clamps SW node to IN during DCM to eliminate ringing-induced EMI - eliminates need for external snubber networks and saves board space. |
| Bypass mode (VIN ≥ VOUT) | Enables seamless transition from boost to direct conduction with <10 mΩ effective RDS(ON) - maintains power delivery during input voltage surges without dropout or restart. |
| Pulse-skipping at light load | Maintains >85% efficiency down to 10 mA load - extends battery life in intermittently active portable devices like HDMI adapters. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Triggers at 155°C with 15°C hysteresis - prevents thermal runaway while allowing recovery without external reset circuitry. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous boost regulator applications.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MIC2876-5.25YMT-TR?
The MIC2876-5.25YMT-TR has a fixed output voltage of 5.25V with a total accuracy of ±1.5% over temperature and line/load conditions, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 4 of DS20005572A). This tolerance ensures reliable compliance with USB 2.0/3.0 host voltage requirements without external trimming.
Does the MIC2876-5.25YMT-TR support automatic bypass mode, and how does it behave?
Yes, the MIC2876-5.25YMT-TR automatically enters bypass mode when VIN exceeds VOUT (i.e., when input voltage rises above 5.25V). In this mode, the NMOS switch turns off and the PMOS is fully enhanced, creating a low-impedance path from IN to OUT - enabling seamless power delivery without dropout or restart, unlike conventional boost-only regulators.
How is bi-directional load disconnect implemented in the MIC2876-5.25YMT-TR?
The MIC2876-5.25YMT-TR achieves true bi-directional disconnect using an internal "maximum supply selector" that controls the back-gate diode of the PMOS synchronous rectifier. This circuit remains functional down to 0.3V on the IN pin, blocking leakage current in both directions - whether IN or OUT is at higher potential - during shutdown.
What package type and thermal requirements apply to the MIC2876-5.25YMT-TR?
The MIC2876-5.25YMT-TR uses an 8-pin 2 mm × 2 mm UDFN package (MT suffix) with an exposed thermal pad (EP). To maintain junction temperature ≤125°C at 1.2A output, the EP pad must be soldered to a solid AGND plane with ≥6 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) connecting to inner ground layers - per Microchip's layout guidelines in DS20005572A page 17.
Can the MIC2876-5.25YMT-TR be used with input voltages below 2.5V?
No - the MIC2876-5.25YMT-TR has a minimum operating input voltage of 2.5V, defined by its UVLO rising threshold of 2.32V (typical). Operation below 2.5V is outside the guaranteed operating range and may result in unstable regulation, premature shutdown, or failure to start. For sub-2.5V inputs, alternative regulators such as the MAX17222 must be considered.
