Product details
Overview
MIC49150-0.9BR from Microchip Technology is a 3A low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) with fixed 0.9V output, ±2% accuracy, and ultra-low dropout voltage of 120mV at full load; it operates over -40°C to +125°C and is used in FPGA core power supplies requiring tight regulation and low noise.
For engineers reviewing the MIC49150-0.9BR datasheet, MIC49150-0.9BR pinout, MIC49150-0.9BR application, or MIC49150-0.9BR equivalent, key selection factors include output accuracy, thermal shutdown behavior, reverse current protection, and compatibility with ceramic output capacitors ≥2.2µF.
Technical Context
The MIC49150-0.9BR employs a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling stable operation with ceramic output capacitors as low as 2.2µF and ESR <10mΩ. It integrates thermal shutdown, current limiting, and reverse-current protection without external components.
Its reference voltage is trimmed during final test for ±2% output accuracy across line, load, and temperature. The device supports input voltages from 1.2V to 5.5V and maintains regulation down to 100mV headroom at light loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6219B092MR-G | 200mA max output, SOT-25 package - lower current, smaller footprint | Not suitable for >500mA loads; limited to microcontroller I/O or bias rails | Select only for low-power auxiliary rails where 3A capability is unnecessary |
| Analog Devices ADM7172ACPZ-0.9-R7 | 3A, 0.9V fixed, but requires minimum 10µF ceramic output capacitor and has higher 200mV dropout | Higher dropout limits use with 1.1V input rails; larger output cap increases solution size | Choose when PSRR >70dB at 1MHz is required; otherwise MIC49150-0.9BR offers better efficiency and smaller cap support |
Compared with XC6219B092MR-G and ADM7172ACPZ-0.9-R7, the MIC49150-0.9BR uniquely combines 3A capability, 120mV dropout, and stability with 2.2µF ceramic output capacitors - enabling compact, high-efficiency core power in thermally constrained FPGA/ASIC designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MIC49150-0.9BR?
The MIC49150-0.9BR supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.0V. Operation above 5.5V is not recommended, as the device is specified and characterized for reliable performance within the 1.2V to 5.5V input range. Exceeding 5.5V may compromise output accuracy, thermal margin, or long-term reliability. Always refer to the MIC49150-0.9BR datasheet for safe operating area limits and derating curves.
Does the MIC49150-0.9BR require an external bypass capacitor?
Yes, the MIC49150-0.9BR requires a 10nF ceramic capacitor between the BP pin and GND to optimize power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) and transient response. This capacitor is mandatory per the MIC49150-0.9BR datasheet layout guidelines and cannot be omitted without degrading high-frequency noise immunity and load-step performance.
Can the MIC49150-0.9BR be used with a 1.0V input supply?
No - the MIC49150-0.9BR requires a minimum input voltage of 1.2V to maintain regulation. With a 1.0V input, the device cannot achieve its specified 0.9V output due to insufficient headroom, resulting in dropout and unregulated output. The MIC49150-0.9BR dropout voltage is 120mV at full load, so ≥1.02V would theoretically suffice, but the 1.2V minimum ensures guaranteed operation across process, voltage, and temperature variations.
Is reverse current protection integrated into the MIC49150-0.9BR?
Yes, the MIC49150-0.9BR includes fully integrated reverse current protection. When the input voltage falls below the output voltage (e.g., during input power loss or hot-swap events), the internal circuitry blocks reverse current flow from OUT to IN. This eliminates the need for an external blocking diode and prevents battery drain or upstream supply contamination in the MIC49150-0.9BR application.
What thermal pad soldering requirements apply to the MIC49150-0.9BR DFN package?
The MIC49150-0.9BR uses an 8-pin 3mm × 3mm DFN with an exposed thermal pad that must be soldered to a minimum 100mm² copper pour on the PCB for adequate heat dissipation. Thermal vias (≥4×0.3mm diameter) should connect the pad to inner-layer or back-side ground planes. Inadequate thermal pad connection will cause junction temperature to exceed 125°C at 3A load, triggering thermal shutdown in the MIC49150-0.9BR.
