Product details
Overview
MIC5210-5.0BMM from Microchip Technology is a fixed-output 5.0 V low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) with 150 mA output current, 350 mV dropout voltage at full load, and ±2% output voltage accuracy. It operates from 2.5 V to 16 V input and is used in battery-powered instrumentation, portable medical devices, and post-regulation of switching power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5210-5.0BMM datasheet, MIC5210-5.0BMM pinout, MIC5210-5.0BMM application, or MIC5210-5.0BMM equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under load, ground pin current variation, thermal shutdown behavior, reverse-battery protection, and guaranteed stability with 1 µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The MIC5210-5.0BMM employs a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout operation across its full input range. It integrates internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and reverse-battery protection to prevent damage during polarity reversal.
Stability is ensured with output capacitance as low as 1 µF (X7R or better), and the device maintains regulation down to 10 µA load current. Ground pin current remains below 4 mA at full 150 mA load, supporting high-light efficiency in low-power systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±2% - ensures stable logic supply for microcontrollers and sensors without external feedback components. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA - supports moderate-power analog front-ends and mixed-signal peripherals. |
| Dropout Voltage | 350 mV at 150 mA - enables operation from single Li-ion or three-cell alkaline batteries near end-of-life. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 16 V - accommodates wide-input industrial and automotive auxiliary rails. |
| Ground Pin Current | ≤4 mA at 150 mA load - minimizes total system quiescent power in always-on applications. |
| Output Capacitor | ≥1 µF ceramic (X7R) - allows compact, low-ESR filtering without tantalum or electrolytic parts. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin MSOP (Mini Small Outline Package), 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (EP).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.5–16 V; requires local 1 µF bypass capacitor. |
| GND | Power ground reference | Low-impedance return path; connects to thermal pad for heat dissipation. |
| OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 5.0 V ±2% to load; requires ≥1 µF ceramic output capacitor. |
| EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; pulls low to disable regulator and reduce quiescent current to 1 µA. |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Internally connected to GND; must be soldered to PCB copper for thermal performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reverse-battery protection | Prevents damage when input polarity is reversed - eliminates need for external series diode. |
| Thermal shutdown | Activates at 160°C junction temperature and auto-recovers after cooldown - protects against sustained overload. |
| Current limit | 180 mA typical foldback limit - prevents excessive power dissipation during short-circuit events. |
| Low-noise operation | 40 µVRMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz) - suitable for precision analog signal chains. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-5002E/TO | 300 mA rated, 170 mV dropout at 250 mA, TO-92 package - higher current but larger footprint and no enable pin. | Lacks EN pin and thermal shutdown; unsuitable for battery-critical or thermally constrained designs. | Choose MCP1700-5002E/TO only if higher current and through-hole assembly are required and enable/shutdown is not needed. |
| TPS76350DBVR | 150 mA rated, 350 mV dropout, SOT-23-5 package - includes enable and thermal shutdown, but requires ≥2.2 µF output capacitor. | Higher minimum output capacitance increases solution size and cost; less compatible with space-constrained PCBs. | Choose TPS76350DBVR only if SOT-23-5 footprint is mandatory and additional 1.2 µF ceramic capacitance is acceptable. |
Compared with MCP1700-5002E/TO and TPS76350DBVR, the MIC5210-5.0BMM uniquely combines MSOP-8 thermal performance, 1 µF stability, reverse-battery protection, and active-low enable - making it optimal for compact, battery-sensitive, and fault-resilient embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MIC5210-5.0BMM?
The MIC5210-5.0BMM 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, design margins should keep VIN ≤15 V under all conditions including transients and ripple.
Does the MIC5210-5.0BMM require an external capacitor on the EN pin?
No, the MIC5210-5.0BMM does not require an external capacitor on the EN pin. The enable input is CMOS-compatible with internal hysteresis and has no timing or filtering requirements. A simple pull-down resistor or direct microcontroller GPIO connection suffices for controlled startup and shutdown of the MIC5210-5.0BMM.
Can the MIC5210-5.0BMM operate stably with a 0.47 µF ceramic output capacitor?
No, the MIC5210-5.0BMM requires a minimum of 1 µF ceramic output capacitance (X7R or better) for guaranteed stability. Using 0.47 µF may cause oscillation or poor transient response. The 1 µF value is validated per Microchip's datasheet test conditions and must be placed within 5 mm of the OUT and GND pins for the MIC5210-5.0BMM.
Is the exposed thermal pad (EP) of the MIC5210-5.0BMM electrically connected internally?
Yes, the exposed thermal pad (EP) of the MIC5210-5.0BMM is internally connected to the GND terminal. It must be soldered to a dedicated GND copper pour on the PCB to ensure proper thermal dissipation and electrical integrity. Leaving EP unconnected degrades thermal performance and may trigger premature thermal shutdown under load.
What is the typical ground pin current of the MIC5210-5.0BMM at 50 mA output load?
The typical ground pin current of the MIC5210-5.0BMM at 50 mA output load is 1.8 mA. This value remains stable across input voltages from 3 V to 12 V and ambient temperatures from –40°C to +85°C, contributing to predictable system-level power budgeting for the MIC5210-5.0BMM.
