Product details
Overview
MIC5247-1.6YM5-TR from Micrel is a 1.6V 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, 30µVRMS output noise (10Hz–100kHz), and logic-compatible active-high enable pin. It is optimized for RF power rails in battery-powered handheld devices requiring quiet, stable bias.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5247-1.6YM5-TR datasheet, MIC5247-1.6YM5-TR pinout, MIC5247-1.6YM5-TR application, or MIC5247-1.6YM5-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 150mA (150mV), PSRR of 50dB at ≤1kHz, thermal shutdown at 150°C, compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors, and noise bypass capability via dedicated BYP pin.
Technical Context
The MIC5247-1.6YM5-TR employs a P-channel MOSFET pass device with N-channel clamp for fast transient recovery and active shutdown discharge. Its reference bypass architecture enables 30µVRMS noise performance when a 0.01µF capacitor is connected to the BYP pin.
It integrates under-voltage lockout, thermal shutdown with 10°C hysteresis, and current limiting (160–300mA). The regulator operates from 2.7V to 6V input, delivers 1.6V ±1% output, and maintains stability with ≥1µF ceramic output capacitance - no input capacitor required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.6V ±1% - tight regulation ensures stable core/bias rail for sensitive analog/RF circuits. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA - sufficient for baseband processors, RF front-end ICs, and low-power microcontrollers. |
| Dropout Voltage | 150mV @ 150mA - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) with >1.4V headroom. |
| Ground Current | 85µA (load-independent) - minimizes quiescent drain in always-on battery backup rails. |
| Output Noise | 30µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz, CBYP=0.01µF) - meets stringent RF LNA/VCO supply noise requirements. |
| PSRR | 50dB @ ≤1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters in hybrid power systems. |
| Enable Threshold | VIH = 1.6V (min), VIL = 0.4V (max) - compatible with 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), RoHS-compliant, with exposed pad not connected (NC); thermal resistance θJA = 235°C/W (minimum footprint).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Supply input | Accepts 2.7V–6V unregulated input; no input capacitor required unless >10" from bulk source. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return for input, output, enable, and bypass; connects to PCB ground plane. |
| 3 (EN) | Enable/Shutdown control | CMOS-compatible active-high input; must be pulled high (>1.6V) to enable, low (<0.4V) to shut down. |
| 4 (BYP) | Noise reference bypass | Connects 0.01µF capacitor to GND to reduce internal reference noise and improve PSRR. |
| 5 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 1.6V ±1% to load; requires ≥1µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low output noise | 30µVRMS with 0.01µF BYP cap - enables direct powering of VCOs and LNAs without additional filtering. |
| Active shutdown discharge | N-channel clamp discharges output capacitor on disable - prevents residual voltage hold-up on powered-down subsystems. |
| Load-independent quiescent current | 85µA across 0–150mA load - eliminates efficiency penalty at light loads common in sleep-mode operation. |
| Fast transient response | Totem-pole output stage recovers from 100mA→85µA load step with minimal overshoot - reduces need for large bulk capacitance. |
| Stability with ceramic capacitors | Works with ≥1µF X5R/X7R ceramics - eliminates tantalum cost/size/reliability trade-offs in space-constrained designs. |
Applications
| Cellular Front-End Power | Low-Power Microcontroller Core Rail |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7A2016PDQNR | 1.6V output, 300mA, 12µVRMS noise, 250mV dropout @ 300mA, 6-pin WSON. | Higher output current and lower noise, but larger package and higher minimum input voltage (1.65V). | Preferred when >150mA load or sub-30µV noise is required; not pin-compatible. |
| AP2210K-16W5 | 1.6V output, 150mA, 45µVRMS noise, 200mV dropout @ 150mA, SOT-23-5. | Higher noise and dropout, no BYP pin; simpler BOM but less RF-optimized. | Cost-sensitive alternative where 45µVRMS noise is acceptable and BYP functionality is unused. |
Compared with TPS7A2016PDQNR and AP2210K-16W5, the MIC5247-1.6YM5-TR uniquely balances ultra-low noise (30µVRMS), SOT-23-5 footprint, and integrated BYP pin for noise tailoring - making it optimal for space-constrained RF bias rails where 150mA suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for MIC5247-1.6YM5-TR?
The absolute maximum input voltage for MIC5247-1.6YM5-TR is +7V, but the recommended operating range is +2.7V to +6V. Exceeding 6V risks exceeding thermal limits under full load, especially in the SOT-23-5 package with θJA = 235°C/W. For 150mA output at 1.6V, the practical max input is ~5.2V at 25°C ambient with minimum copper footprint.
Does MIC5247-1.6YM5-TR require an input capacitor?
No, MIC5247-1.6YM5-TR does not require an input capacitor for stability. A 1µF ceramic capacitor is recommended only if the bulk supply is located more than 10 inches from the device or when powered directly from a battery with high source impedance - to dampen high-frequency ringing and improve transient immunity.
Can the BYP pin of MIC5247-1.6YM5-TR be left unconnected?
Yes, the BYP pin of MIC5247-1.6YM5-TR may be left open with no functional impact. When unconnected, the regulator operates with typical 30µVRMS noise; connecting a 0.01µF capacitor to GND further reduces noise and improves PSRR. Larger values (e.g., 1µF) yield diminishing returns but do not harm stability.
What is the shutdown current of MIC5247-1.6YM5-TR?
The shutdown current of MIC5247-1.6YM5-TR is specified as 0.2–1µA at VEN ≤ 0.4V. This "nearly zero" off-mode current enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes. The active clamp circuit also discharges the output capacitor during shutdown, preventing unintended wake-up from residual voltage.
Is MIC5247-1.6YM5-TR compatible with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, MIC5247-1.6YM5-TR is explicitly designed for stability with low-ESR ceramic capacitors ≥1µF (X5R/X7R). Unlike older LDOs requiring tantalum or aluminum electrolytics, this eliminates ESR-related phase-margin concerns and supports miniaturized layouts in handheld devices.
