Product details
Overview
MIC3775-2.5BMM from Microchip Technology is a 2.5 V fixed-output, 1.5 A low-dropout linear regulator in an 8-pin µDFN package with thermal shutdown, current limit, and reverse-battery protection. It delivers stable output with ≤340 mV dropout at full load and supports input voltages from 2.7 V to 6 V, commonly used in portable instrumentation and battery-powered microcontroller subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the MIC3775-2.5BMM datasheet, MIC3775-2.5BMM pinout, MIC3775-2.5BMM application, or MIC3775-2.5BMM equivalent, key selection factors include dropout voltage at 1.5 A, thermal performance in µDFN-8, reverse-battery tolerance, and guaranteed stability with 1 µF ceramic output capacitance.
Technical Context
The MIC3775-2.5BMM employs a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout operation without requiring external compensation. Its internal reference and error amplifier maintain ±2% output voltage accuracy over line, load, and temperature (−40°C to +125°C).
It integrates foldback current limiting and thermal shutdown with automatic recovery, and features a logic-compatible enable pin (active-high) for controlled power sequencing in multi-rail systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±2% - ensures precise biasing for ADC references and low-voltage logic rails. |
| Max Output Current | 1.5 A - supports moderate-power MCU cores and peripheral ICs without external heat sinking. |
| Dropout Voltage | 340 mV @ 1.5 A - enables regulation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) down to 2.5 V output. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 6.0 V - compatible with Li-ion, Li-poly, and regulated 3.3/5 V system rails. |
| Output Capacitor | 1 µF ceramic minimum - allows compact, low-ESR output filtering without tantalum or electrolytic parts. |
| Quiescent Current | 120 µA typical - minimizes standby power loss in always-on sensor nodes. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin µDFN (2 mm × 2 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), exposed thermal pad, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.7–6.0 V; requires local 1 µF ceramic decoupling. |
| GND | Power ground reference | Common return for input/output paths and thermal pad solder connection. |
| EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic signal; pulls low to disable regulator and reduce quiescent current to 1 µA. |
| OUT | Regulated output terminal | Delivers 2.5 V ±2%; connects directly to load and 1 µF ceramic output capacitor. |
| NR/ADJ | Noise reduction / feedback node | Connects to 10 nF bypass capacitor to reduce output noise; not adjustable for fixed version. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reverse-battery protection | Withstands −20 V input without damage or reverse current flow - eliminates need for external blocking diode. |
| Thermal shutdown with auto-recovery | Triggers at 160°C junction temperature and resumes operation after cooldown - prevents permanent latch-up during transient overload. |
| Stable with 1 µF ceramic output cap | Eliminates ESR requirements and simplifies layout - reduces BOM count and board area vs. traditional LDOs. |
| Low-noise operation (45 µVRMS) | Enables clean power for precision analog circuits like 12-bit ADCs and op-amp front-ends. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6206P252MR-G | 2.5 V fixed, 300 mA max, SOT-23-3 package, 160 mV dropout @ 100 mA | Limited to low-current loads; no enable or reverse-battery protection | Choose only for space-constrained, sub-300 mA applications where cost is primary driver. |
| ON Semiconductor NCP1117ST2.5T3G | 2.5 V fixed, 1 A max, SOT-223 package, 1.2 V dropout @ 1 A, no reverse-battery protection | Higher dropout limits use with single-cell batteries; larger thermal footprint required | Select when higher current margin is needed and input voltage ≥3.7 V is guaranteed. |
Compared with XC6206P252MR-G and NCP1117ST2.5T3G, the MIC3775-2.5BMM uniquely combines 1.5 A capability, reverse-battery tolerance, and µDFN-8 thermal efficiency - making it suitable for battery-critical, high-reliability embedded systems where protection and compactness are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MIC3775-2.5BMM?
The MIC3775-2.5BMM supports a maximum input voltage of 6.0 V. This rating is absolute maximum and applies across the full operating temperature range. Exceeding 6.0 V may cause permanent damage. The device is also rated for −20 V reverse-battery input without conduction or latch-up, a feature verified in Microchip's characterization testing and documented in the MCRLS02451-1 datasheet.
Does the MIC3775-2.5BMM require an external capacitor on the NR/ADJ pin?
Yes, the MIC3775-2.5BMM requires a 10 nF ceramic capacitor between the NR/ADJ pin and ground to achieve its specified 45 µVRMS output noise performance. Omitting this capacitor increases output noise and may degrade ADC reference stability. The NR/ADJ pin is not used for voltage adjustment in the fixed-output MIC3775-2.5BMM variant.
Can the MIC3775-2.5BMM operate with a 1 µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes, the MIC3775-2.5BMM is internally compensated and fully stable with a minimum 1 µF X5R or X7R ceramic output capacitor. This eliminates ESR requirements and enables use of small-case, low-profile capacitors - a key design advantage confirmed in the MCRLS02451-1 datasheet stability curves and application notes.
What thermal performance can be expected from the MIC3775-2.5BMM in µDFN-8?
In the 2 mm × 2 mm µDFN-8 package with proper PCB copper pour on the exposed thermal pad, the MIC3775-2.5BMM achieves a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 90°C/W. At 1.5 A load and 25°C ambient, junction temperature rises approximately 100°C above ambient - well within the 125°C maximum rating when layout guidelines are followed per MCRLS02451-1.
Is the MIC3775-2.5BMM pin-compatible with other members of the MIC3775 family?
No, the MIC3775-2.5BMM is not pin-compatible with adjustable or other fixed-output variants such as MIC3775-3.3BMM. While all share the same µDFN-8 package outline, the NR/ADJ pin function differs: it serves as noise reduction input in fixed versions but as feedback node in adjustable versions. Swapping parts without circuit review risks instability or incorrect output voltage.
