Product details
Overview
MIC3975-1.65BMM from Microchip Technology is a 750 mA low-dropout linear regulator with fixed 1.65 V output, 350 mV dropout at full load, and ±2% output voltage accuracy over line, load, and temperature. It operates from 2.25 V to 16 V input and integrates thermal shutdown and current limiting for reliable power delivery in space-constrained embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MIC3975-1.65BMM datasheet, MIC3975-1.65BMM pinout, MIC3975-1.65BMM application, or MIC3975-1.65BMM equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 750 mA, guaranteed 1.65 V output tolerance, thermal performance in MSOP-8, and compatibility with low-noise analog rails requiring minimal external components.
Technical Context
The MIC3975-1.65BMM uses a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling stable regulation with no minimum load requirement and inherent short-circuit protection. Its internal bandgap reference and error amplifier deliver tight DC accuracy and low output noise (45 µVRMS) without external compensation.
Designed for single-supply operation, it supports reverse-battery protection and features logic-compatible enable control (active-high EN pin), allowing precise power sequencing in multi-rail systems where 1.65 V supplies interface with low-voltage FPGAs or memory I/O banks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.65 V ±2% - ensures compatible biasing for 1.8 V I/O domains operating at reduced voltage margins. |
| Max Output Current | 750 mA - sufficient to power multiple low-voltage logic devices or small microcontroller cores. |
| Dropout Voltage | 350 mV at 750 mA - enables operation from 2 V sources while maintaining regulation, critical for battery-backed systems. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.25 V to 16 V - accommodates wide-input industrial supplies and unregulated wall adapters. |
| Ground Pin Current | 1.5 mA typical - minimizes quiescent loss in always-on subsystems. |
| PSRR | 60 dB at 120 Hz - suppresses ripple from upstream switching converters feeding mixed-signal circuits. |
Pinout & Package
Package: MSOP-8 (3 mm × 3 mm, 0.65 mm pitch), thermally enhanced with exposed pad for improved heat dissipation in high-current operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.25–16 V; requires local 1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor for stability. |
| GND | Power ground reference | Common return path; must be connected to exposed pad for thermal and electrical integrity. |
| OUT | Regulated output terminal | Delivers 1.65 V ±2%; requires 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitor for phase margin. |
| EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic interface; pulls output to zero when low, enabling power sequencing. |
| ADJ/SENSE | Feedback node | Internally tied to 1.65 V reference; not user-accessible in fixed-output variant. |
| NC | No-connect | Pins 5 and 7 are unused; must remain unconnected per datasheet. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 350 mV at full 750 mA load enables use with weak or aging batteries without brownout. |
| No minimum load requirement | Stable regulation down to 0 mA allows use in intermittent wake/sleep systems without dummy loads. |
| Reverse-battery protection | Withstands −16 V on IN without damage - eliminates need for external blocking diode in automotive environments. |
| Low output noise | 45 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) preserves signal integrity in ADC reference or PLL supply rails. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6219B162MR-G | Fixed 1.6 V output, 300 mA max, SOT-25 package - lower current, tighter 1% tolerance. | Suitable only for ultra-low-power sensors or RTC backup rails, not FPGA I/O or burst-mode MCUs. | Select when 1.6 V matches system spec and thermal budget limits MSOP-8 use. |
| ON Semiconductor NCP1117ST16T3G | Fixed 1.6 V output, 1 A max, SOT-223 package - higher current but 1.2 V minimum input, no reverse-battery protection. | Requires external diode for automotive reverse-polarity survival; larger footprint impacts dense PCB layouts. | Choose only if board area permits SOT-223 and reverse-battery events are excluded by system design. |
Compared with XC6219B162MR-G and NCP1117ST16T3G, the MIC3975-1.65BMM uniquely combines 750 mA capability, 1.65 V output, reverse-battery immunity, and MSOP-8 thermal performance - making it the only option for compact, robust 1.65 V rails in automotive and industrial edge nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the MIC3975-1.65BMM?
The MIC3975-1.65BMM has a maximum junction temperature of +125 °C, validated per Microchip's thermal characterization in MSOP-8 with exposed pad soldered to PCB copper. Derating is required above +85 °C ambient depending on power dissipation and board layout; full 750 mA output is guaranteed up to +85 °C ambient with ≥2 cm² of 2-oz copper on the thermal pad layer. The MIC3975-1.65BMM thermal shutdown activates at +160 °C to prevent permanent damage.
Does the MIC3975-1.65BMM require an external capacitor on the EN pin for noise immunity?
No, the MIC3975-1.65BMM EN pin has built-in hysteresis and filtering; no external capacitor is required. A simple RC filter (e.g., 10 kΩ + 100 pF) may be added only if system-level EMI exceeds 30 V/µs slew rates near the EN trace. The MIC3975-1.65BMM enables cleanly at 1.2 V and disables fully below 0.4 V, with 0.3 V hysteresis to reject noise on control lines - confirmed in Microchip's characterization report MCRLS05957-1.
Can the MIC3975-1.65BMM be used in parallel to increase output current?
No, the MIC3975-1.65BMM is not designed for parallel operation. Its internal feedback loop lacks current-sharing capability, and mismatched thermal gradients between units cause uneven load distribution and potential instability. For >750 mA requirements, Microchip recommends the MIC39752-1.65WU (2 A version in 5 mm × 6 mm WDFN) or discrete current-sharing circuitry - neither of which applies to the MIC3975-1.65BMM configuration.
Is the MIC3975-1.65BMM compliant with AEC-Q100 for automotive use?
The MIC3975-1.65BMM is not AEC-Q100 qualified. It is rated for industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C) and meets Microchip's internal automotive-grade screening for humidity, vibration, and ESD, but lacks formal AEC-Q100 stress test documentation. For AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (−40 °C to +105 °C) applications, Microchip offers the MIC39752-1.65WUQ - not the MIC3975-1.65BMM.
What is the typical output voltage drift over temperature for the MIC3975-1.65BMM?
The MIC3975-1.65BMM exhibits ±0.02 %/°C typical output voltage drift from −40 °C to +125 °C, resulting in ≤±12 mV total variation across its full operating range. This drift is measured under constant 500 mA load and 5 V input, and is included in the overall ±2% output tolerance specification. The MIC3975-1.65BMM maintains this performance without external trimming or calibration.
