Product details
Overview
MIC39150-1.65BT from Microchip Technology is a 1.5 A low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) with fixed 1.65 V output, 350 mV dropout at full load, and ±2% output voltage accuracy. It operates from 2.25 V to 16 V input and includes thermal shutdown and current limiting. Used in FPGA core power, DSP supply rails, and low-voltage microcontroller I/O domains.
For engineers reviewing the MIC39150-1.65BT datasheet, MIC39150-1.65BT pinout, MIC39150-1.65BT application, or MIC39150-1.65BT equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 1.5 A, load regulation over temperature, PSRR at 1 kHz, enable logic polarity, and thermal performance in TO-263-5 package.
Technical Context
This LDO employs PNP pass transistor architecture enabling stable regulation with minimal headroom. It delivers 1.5 A continuous output current with internal current limit set at 1.8 A typical and thermal foldback activation at 150°C junction temperature.
Designed for low-noise applications, it achieves 70 dB PSRR at 1 kHz and 45 dB at 100 kHz. The device features active-low enable (EN) with 1.2 V logic threshold and supports external bypass capacitor for enhanced noise rejection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.65 V ±2% - ensures precise core voltage for 1.65 V–1.8 V I/O standards. |
| Max Output Current | 1.5 A continuous - supports high-current digital loads without external heat sinking in moderate ambient. |
| Dropout Voltage | 350 mV at 1.5 A - enables operation from 2.0 V input when output is 1.65 V, critical for battery-powered systems. |
| PSRR | 70 dB @ 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Enable Threshold | Active-low EN, 1.2 V max - compatible with 1.8 V GPIO without level-shifting. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C typical - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in TO-263-5 (D2PAK) thermally enhanced surface-mount package with exposed metal tab electrically connected to GND for improved heat dissipation and EMI reduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.25 V–16 V; requires local 10 µF ceramic input capacitor for stability. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path; connects to exposed tab for thermal and EMI performance. |
| OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 1.65 V ±2%; requires 22 µF ceramic output capacitor with ≤50 mΩ ESR. |
| EN | Enable control | Active-low logic input; pulled high internally via 100 kΩ resistor; drives LDO on when ≤0.4 V. |
| ADJ/SENSE | Output voltage sense | Internally tied to OUT; not user-accessible - confirms fixed-output configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dropout voltage | 350 mV at 1.5 A enables single-cell Li-ion or 2-cell alkaline operation for 1.65 V loads. |
| High PSRR | 70 dB at 1 kHz reduces ripple from noisy switchers, improving signal integrity in ADC/DAC reference paths. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit + thermal shutdown prevent damage during short-circuit or high-ambient conditions without external circuitry. |
| Logic-compatible enable | 1.2 V max EN threshold allows direct interface with 1.8 V FPGA I/O banks or microcontroller GPIOs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TSM1085CP | 1.5 A, 1.65 V fixed, 400 mV dropout at 1.5 A, no enable pin | Lacks EN control; requires external ON/OFF circuitry for power sequencing | Choose when enable functionality is unnecessary and board space permits discrete enable solution |
| LP3878MRX-1.65 | 1.5 A, 1.65 V fixed, 300 mV dropout at 1.5 A, 60 dB PSRR @ 1 kHz | Lower dropout but reduced PSRR; requires 1 µF minimum output capacitance | Prefer where ultra-low dropout is prioritized over noise rejection in cost-sensitive designs |
Compared with TSM1085CP and LP3878MRX-1.65, the MIC39150-1.65BT uniquely balances 350 mV dropout, 70 dB PSRR, and integrated active-low enable-making it optimal for FPGA and industrial I/O where both noise immunity and controlled power-up sequencing are required.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for MIC39150-1.65BT?
The MIC39150-1.65BT supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 16 V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage to the internal pass transistor and protection circuitry. For reliable long-term use, Microchip recommends limiting VIN to ≤15 V under all conditions including transient spikes, and using appropriate input filtering to suppress overshoot.
Does MIC39150-1.65BT require an external bypass capacitor for stability?
Yes, the MIC39150-1.65BT requires a minimum 22 µF ceramic output capacitor with ESR ≤50 mΩ for stability across load and temperature. An optional 10 nF ceramic capacitor between ADJ/SENSE and GND further improves high-frequency PSRR. Input capacitance of ≥10 µF ceramic is also mandatory to prevent oscillation during load transients.
Is MIC39150-1.65BT qualified for automotive applications?
No, the MIC39150-1.65BT is not AEC-Q100 qualified. It is rated for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +125°C), but lacks automotive-specific stress testing, failure mode analysis, and PPAP documentation. For automotive infotainment I/O, designers must perform additional system-level validation per ISO 16750 and IATF 16949 requirements.
How does the enable pin (EN) function on MIC39150-1.65BT?
The EN pin on MIC39150-1.65BT is active-low with a typical threshold of 0.4 V. When pulled below 0.4 V, the LDO enables; when above 1.2 V, it disables. An internal 100 kΩ pull-up resistor holds EN high by default. No external pull-up is needed unless faster turn-off or noise immunity is required in high-EMI environments.
Can MIC39150-1.65BT be used in parallel for higher current?
No, MIC39150-1.65BT is not designed for parallel operation. Its output voltage tolerance (±2%) and load regulation characteristics prevent balanced current sharing. Attempting parallel connection may cause one device to dominate conduction, leading to thermal runaway. For >1.5 A, select a higher-current LDO or switcher-based solution instead.
