Product details
Overview
MIC5247-1.8YML-TR from Micrel is a 1.8V fixed-output, 150mA ultra-low-noise CMOS linear voltage regulator in a 6-pin 2mm × 2mm MLF™ package, featuring 1% initial accuracy, 85µA load-independent ground current, and 30µVRMS output noise (10Hz–100kHz) with 0.01µF bypass capacitor - optimized for RF power stages in battery-powered handheld devices.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5247-1.8YML-TR datasheet, MIC5247-1.8YML-TR pinout, MIC5247-1.8YML-TR application, or MIC5247-1.8YML-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 150mA (150mV), PSRR of 50dB at ≤1kHz, thermal shutdown at 150°C, logic-compatible enable input, and stability with low-ESR ceramic capacitors down to 1µF.
Technical Context
The MIC5247-1.8YML-TR uses a P-channel MOSFET pass device with an N-channel active clamp for fast transient recovery and overshoot suppression during load steps. Its reference bypass (BYP) pin connects to a 0.01µF capacitor to shunt internal reference noise, reducing output voltage noise by >50% versus no bypass.
It integrates under-voltage lockout, thermal shutdown with 10°C hysteresis, and current limiting (160–300mA). The enable input is CMOS-compatible (VIH ≥ 1.6V, VIL ≤ 0.4V), and shutdown reduces quiescent current to ≤1µA - critical for zero-power standby in portable systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±1% (initial accuracy at 25°C); ensures stable core supply for 1.8V logic without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA continuous; supports RF transceivers, baseband processors, and sensor interfaces in compact wireless modules. |
| Dropout Voltage | 150mV at 150mA; enables operation from 2.7V input down to 1.8V output - ideal for single-cell Li-ion or dual-cell NiMH systems. |
| Ground Current | 85µA (typical), load-independent; maintains ultra-low system standby power regardless of load current variation. |
| Output Noise | 30µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz, CBYP = 0.01µF); meets stringent RF LNA and VCO supply noise requirements. |
| PSRR | 50dB at ≤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 GPIOs without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin 2mm × 2mm MLF™ (exposed pad grounded), θJA = 90°C/W - suitable for high-density PCB layouts with limited thermal mass.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - EN | CMOS enable input | Active-high logic control; drives regulator into <1µA shutdown state when low - eliminates need for external load switches. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Primary signal and power return; internally connected to exposed pad for low-impedance thermal path. |
| 3 - IN | Input supply | Accepts 2.7V–6V input; no input capacitor required unless source impedance exceeds 1Ω or distance >10 inches. |
| 4 - OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 1.8V ±1% to load; requires ≥1µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor for stability. |
| 5 - NC | No connection | Unbonded die pad; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice - no electrical function. |
| 6 - BYP | Reference bypass | Connects to 0.01µF capacitor to reduce reference noise; directly lowers output RMS noise and improves PSRR above 10kHz. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low-noise architecture | 30µVRMS output noise with 0.01µF BYP cap - enables clean power for RF front-end ICs without additional filtering. |
| Active output clamp | N-channel MOSFET clamp prevents output overshoot during rapid load removal (e.g., burst-mode TX), cutting recovery time by >60% vs. standard LDOs. |
| Load-independent quiescent current | 85µA constant ground current across 0–150mA load - simplifies battery life estimation and eliminates load-dependent leakage concerns. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | 150°C trip point + 10°C hysteresis - prevents thermal cycling in sustained high-power dissipation scenarios (e.g., 150mA @ 2.7V input). |
| Stability with ceramic capacitors | Guaranteed stable with ≥1µF X5R/X7R ceramic output caps - eliminates need for larger, more expensive tantalum or electrolytic capacitors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-noise LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1802E/MB | 150mA, 1.8V, 175mV dropout, 65µVRMS noise, SOT-23-3 (no EN/BYP) | Lacks enable and bypass pins; simpler footprint but higher noise and no shutdown control | Select when board space is constrained and ultra-low noise is secondary to cost |
| Torex XC6206P182MR-G | 150mA, 1.8V, 250mV dropout, 40µVRMS noise, SOT-25 (EN only, no BYP) | Higher dropout and noise; no bypass pin limits RF-grade noise performance | Choose for legacy designs where BYP functionality is unused and thermal margin is ample |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for MIC5247-1.8YML-TR?
The absolute maximum input voltage for MIC5247-1.8YML-TR is +7V, but the recommended operating range is +2.7V to +6V. Exceeding 6V risks violating thermal limits under full 150mA load, especially in the MLF package with θJA = 90°C/W. For reliable operation at 150mA, VIN should not exceed 5.2V when ambient temperature is 25°C.
Does MIC5247-1.8YML-TR require an input capacitor?
No, MIC5247-1.8YML-TR does not require an input capacitor for stability. A 1µF ceramic capacitor is recommended only if the input source is located more than 10 inches from the device or if the supply is a battery with high source impedance - to prevent oscillation during large transient current demands.
Can MIC5247-1.8YML-TR operate without the bypass (BYP) capacitor?
Yes, MIC5247-1.8YML-TR functions normally without the BYP capacitor, delivering 1.8V output with typical noise of ~65µVRMS. However, adding a 0.01µF capacitor from BYP to GND reduces output noise to 30µVRMS and improves PSRR above 10kHz - essential for RF and high-resolution analog applications.
What is the thermal shutdown behavior of MIC5247-1.8YML-TR?
MIC5247-1.8YML-TR activates thermal shutdown at 150°C junction temperature and remains latched off until junction temperature falls by 10°C (hysteresis). During shutdown, output is disabled and ground current drops to ≤1µA. Recovery is automatic upon cooling - no external reset is needed.
Is MIC5247-1.8YML-TR pin-compatible with other MIC5247 variants in the MLF package?
Yes, all MIC5247-x.xYML variants share identical 6-pin MLF pinout (IN, GND, EN, OUT, NC, BYP), including MIC5247-1.8YML-TR. Voltage-setting is internal; only the marking and test binning differ - enabling drop-in replacement across 1.5V–2.4V fixed-output versions without PCB changes.
