Product details
Overview
MIC5247-1.85YM5-TR from Micrel is a fixed-output 1.85V, 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 enable pin for zero-off-mode current. It is designed for RF-sensitive battery-powered systems such as cellular front-end power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5247-1.85YM5-TR datasheet, MIC5247-1.85YM5-TR pinout, MIC5247-1.85YM5-TR application, or MIC5247-1.85YM5-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at full load, noise performance with/without bypass capacitor, thermal resistance of SOT-23-5 package, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The MIC5247-1.85YM5-TR uses a P-channel MOSFET pass device with N-channel active clamp for fast transient recovery and controlled turnoff. Its reference bypass (BYP) pin connects to an external 0.01µF capacitor to reduce internal reference noise, directly lowering output voltage noise floor.
It integrates thermal shutdown (150°C trip, 10°C hysteresis), current limiting (160–300mA), and under-voltage lockout. The enable input is CMOS-compatible (VIH ≥ 1.6V, VIL ≤ 0.4V), requiring explicit logic control - floating EN is prohibited.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.85V ±1% at 25°C; supports stable core supply for 1.8V logic with margin. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA continuous; sufficient for RF transceivers, baseband processors, and sensor interfaces. |
| Dropout Voltage | 150mV at 150mA load; enables operation from Li-ion (3.0V min) or dual-cell alkaline inputs. |
| Ground Current | 85µA constant over full load range (0–150mA); ensures predictable battery life in portable devices. |
| Output Noise | 30µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) with 0.01µF BYP capacitor; meets stringent RF LNA and VCO supply requirements. |
| 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 (M5), 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body, exposed pad not present (non-thermal variant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input supply rail | Accepts 2.7V–6V input; requires no mandatory input capacitor unless >10" from bulk source. |
| 2 (GND) | Power ground reference | Common return for IN, OUT, BYP, and EN; must be low-impedance for noise integrity. |
| 3 (EN) | CMOS enable input | Active-high logic control; <0.4V disables regulator to ~0.2µA shutdown current; must not float. |
| 4 (BYP) | Reference bypass node | Connects to 0.01µF capacitor to GND to reduce reference noise; optional but critical for RF apps. |
| 5 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 1.85V ±1%; requires ≥1µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor for stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low output noise | 30µVRMS with 0.01µF BYP cap - enables clean power for VCOs and LNA stages without additional filtering. |
| Load-independent quiescent current | 85µA across 0–150mA load - simplifies battery life estimation and eliminates load-dependent bias drift. |
| Active output clamp | N-channel MOSFET clamps output during load removal - prevents overshoot and cuts transient recovery time by >50% vs. standard LDOs. |
| Stability with ceramic capacitors | Guaranteed stable with ≥1µF X5R/X7R ceramic output caps - eliminates need for larger, costlier tantalum or electrolytic types. |
| Zero-off-mode current | 0.2µA typical shutdown current - preserves battery charge during system sleep modes in handheld devices. |
Applications
| Cellular Front-End Power | Portable Audio Codec Supply |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-1802E/TO | 1.8V fixed output, 250mA, 17µVRMS noise, no BYP pin, SOT-23-3 (3-pin, no EN/BYP) | Lacks enable and noise-bypass capability; limited to always-on, lower-current roles | Select when board space is constrained and ultra-low noise is secondary to cost and footprint. |
| Torex XC6206P182MR-G | 1.8V fixed, 250mA, 40µVRMS noise, no BYP pin, SOT-23-5 with EN but no dedicated BYP terminal | Higher noise floor, no external reference bypass path - unsuitable for RF-critical nodes | Choose only for non-RF applications where 1.8V (not 1.85V) matches system voltage plan and BYP is unused. |
Compared with MCP1700-1802E/TO and XC6206P182MR-G, the MIC5247-1.85YM5-TR uniquely delivers 1.85V precision, dedicated BYP pin for sub-30µV noise tuning, and active-clamp transient response - making it the sole option for RF front-end and high-fidelity analog supply chains requiring both voltage specificity and noise headroom.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MIC5247-1.85YM5-TR to regulate properly?
The MIC5247-1.85YM5-TR requires a minimum input voltage of 2.7V per its operating rating. With a 150mV dropout at 150mA, it maintains regulation down to VIN = 2.0V only if output load is reduced - but 2.7V is the guaranteed functional lower limit across temperature and process variation. Always maintain ≥2.7V input for full-spec operation of MIC5247-1.85YM5-TR.
Does MIC5247-1.85YM5-TR require an input capacitor?
No, MIC5247-1.85YM5-TR does not require an input capacitor for stability. A 1µF ceramic capacitor is recommended only when the bulk supply is located more than 10 inches from the device or when powered directly from a battery with high source impedance. This design choice reduces BOM count and PCB area for MIC5247-1.85YM5-TR implementations.
Can the BYP pin of MIC5247-1.85YM5-TR be left unconnected?
Yes, the BYP pin of MIC5247-1.85YM5-TR may be left open with no functional impact. However, leaving it unconnected forfeits the 30µVRMS noise performance - typical noise rises to ~60–80µVRMS without the 0.01µF bypass capacitor. For RF or high-precision analog use, connecting BYP to GND via 0.01µF is mandatory in MIC5247-1.85YM5-TR designs.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of MIC5247-1.85YM5-TR in its SOT-23-5 package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of MIC5247-1.85YM5-TR in the SOT-23-5 (M5) package is 235°C/W under standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions. With 150mA load and 150mV dropout, power dissipation is 22.5mW - resulting in <6°C junction rise above ambient, well within safe operating limits without heatsinking for MIC5247-1.85YM5-TR.
Is MIC5247-1.85YM5-TR compatible with 1.0µF ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, MIC5247-1.85YM5-TR is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with ≥1.0µF X5R or X7R ceramic output capacitors. Unlike older LDOs, it does not require high-ESR tantalum or electrolytic types. Using 1.0µF ceramic minimizes board area and cost while delivering optimal transient response for MIC5247-1.85YM5-TR applications.
