Product details
Overview
MIC5247-1.5YM5-TR from Micrel is a 1.5V fixed-output, 150mA ultra-low-noise CMOS linear voltage regulator in SOT-23-5 package, featuring 1% initial output accuracy, 85µA load-independent ground current, 150mV dropout at 150mA, and dedicated noise-bypass pin for RF-sensitive power rails in handheld wireless devices.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5247-1.5YM5-TR datasheet, MIC5247-1.5YM5-TR pinout, MIC5247-1.5YM5-TR application, or MIC5247-1.5YM5-TR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated SOT-23-5 pin mapping, real-world use cases in battery-powered RF systems, and two confirmed alternative regulators with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The MIC5247-1.5YM5-TR uses a CMOS-based architecture with P-channel pass transistor and N-channel active clamp for fast transient recovery. Its reference bypass (BYP) pin connects to a 0.01µF capacitor to reduce output noise by >20dB in 10Hz–100kHz band.
It integrates thermal shutdown (150°C trip, 10°C hysteresis), current limiting (160–300mA), and logic-compatible enable input (VIH ≥ 1.6V, VIL ≤ 0.4V) that reduces quiescent current to 0.2µA in shutdown mode. Stability is ensured with ≥1µF low-ESR ceramic output capacitors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5V ±1% at 25°C; supports precision biasing of low-voltage RF ICs without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA continuous; sufficient for powering baseband processors or RF front-end ICs in compact portable designs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 150mV at 150mA load; enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (2.7V min input) while maintaining regulation. |
| Ground Current | 85µA typical, load-independent; ensures stable battery life estimation and minimal standby drain. |
| Output Noise | 30µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) with 0.01µF BYP cap; meets stringent spectral purity requirements for GSM/EDGE transceivers. |
| PSRR | 50dB at f ≤ 1kHz; suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters in hybrid power architectures. |
| Enable Threshold | VIH = 1.6V min, VIL = 0.4V max; compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-23-5 (JEDEC MO-178AA), 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body, exposed pad not present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Supply input | Accepts 2.7V–6V input; requires no input capacitor unless supply trace exceeds 10 inches. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return for IN, OUT, EN, and BYP; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 3 (EN) | Enable/Shutdown control | CMOS-compatible active-high input; floating prohibited; ties to IN for always-on operation. |
| 4 (BYP) | Noise reference bypass | Connects 0.01µF capacitor to GND to shunt internal reference noise; optional but critical for <50µVRMS noise. |
| 5 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 1.5V ±1% to load; requires ≥1µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor for stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low noise output | 30µVRMS with 0.01µF BYP cap enables clean power for LNA, mixer, and VCO circuits in cellular front-ends. |
| Active output clamp | N-channel MOSFET clamp prevents overshoot during load removal, reducing transient recovery time by >50% vs. standard LDOs. |
| Zero off-mode current | 0.2µA shutdown current extends battery runtime in sleep modes of pagers and Bluetooth accessories. |
| Low-ESR capacitor support | Stable with ≥1µF ceramic output caps; eliminates need for bulky tantalum or electrolytic capacitors in space-constrained PCBs. |
| Thermal protection | 150°C shutdown with 10°C hysteresis prevents damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking in sealed enclosures. |
Applications
| Cellular Phone Baseband Power | RF Transceiver Bias Supply |
|---|---|

| Laptop USB Peripheral Regulator | PCMCIA Card VCC Switch |
Use Scenario: Provides 1.5V supply to USB 2.0 PHY controller on ultraportable notebook daughterboard. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Enable-controlled LDO sequenced with USB enumeration; fast turn-on (<50µs) ensures compliance with USB suspend/resume timing.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1502E/TT | 1.5V, 250mA, 1.6µA quiescent current, no BYP pin, 170mV dropout at 250mA | Lacks noise-bypass capability; PSRR 45dB @ 1kHz; suitable where noise <100µVRMS is acceptable | Choose when ultra-low noise is not required and lower IQ dominates design priority. |
| Torex XC6206P152MR-G | 1.5V, 150mA, 1.0µA IQ, no BYP pin, 200mV dropout at 150mA, no enable input | Fixed-on operation only; no shutdown control; higher dropout limits input headroom in single-cell systems | Choose for cost-sensitive, always-on applications where enable control and sub-50µV noise are unnecessary. |
Compared with MIC5247-1.5YM5-TR, MCP1700T-1502E/TT offers higher output current and lower IQ but lacks the BYP pin essential for RF noise suppression, while XC6206P152MR-G eliminates enable functionality and increases dropout-making both unsuitable for battery-powered RF systems requiring dynamic power gating and <35µVRMS noise.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MIC5247-1.5YM5-TR to maintain regulation?
The MIC5247-1.5YM5-TR requires a minimum input voltage of 2.7V per its operating rating. With a 150mV dropout at 150mA, it sustains 1.5V output down to VIN = 1.65V-but regulation is only guaranteed above 2.7V. Below that, performance degrades and is not characterized.
Can MIC5247-1.5YM5-TR operate without the BYP capacitor?
Yes, MIC5247-1.5YM5-TR functions without the BYP capacitor, delivering 30µVRMS noise with it and ~100µVRMS without it. The BYP pin may be left open if system-level noise requirements allow higher output ripple, such as in digital I/O rail applications.
Is MIC5247-1.5YM5-TR pin-compatible with other MIC5247-x.xYM5 variants?
Yes, all MIC5247-x.xYM5 SOT-23-5 variants-including MIC5247-1.5YM5-TR-share identical pinout, package dimensions, and thermal characteristics. Only the output voltage differs; no PCB changes are needed when substituting between 1.5V, 1.8V, or 2.0V versions.
What is the maximum allowable power dissipation for MIC5247-1.5YM5-TR in SOT-23-5 package?
At TA = 25°C with minimum footprint layout, MIC5247-1.5YM5-TR has θJA = 235°C/W. Using TJ(max) = 125°C, maximum power dissipation is 425mW. At 150mA load and 1.5V output, this limits VIN to ≤5.2V to avoid thermal shutdown.
Does MIC5247-1.5YM5-TR require an input capacitor for stability?
No, MIC5247-1.5YM5-TR does not require an input capacitor for stability. A 1µF input capacitor is recommended only when the bulk supply is >10 inches away or when powered directly from a battery with high source impedance.
