Product details
Overview
MIC5247-2.4YM5-TR from Micrel is a 2.4V 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 enable pin for zero-off-mode operation. It is optimized for RF power rails in battery-powered handheld devices.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5247-2.4YM5-TR datasheet, MIC5247-2.4YM5-TR pinout, MIC5247-2.4YM5-TR application, or MIC5247-2.4YM5-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 150mA (150mV), PSRR of 50dB at ≤1kHz, thermal shutdown at 150°C, stability with 1µF ceramic output capacitors, and noise bypass capability via dedicated BYP pin.
Technical Context
The MIC5247-2.4YM5-TR uses a P-channel MOSFET pass device with N-channel active clamp for fast transient recovery and overshoot suppression during load step-down. Its reference bypass architecture enables configurable noise reduction via external 0.01µF capacitor on the BYP pin.
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), requiring termination to avoid indeterminate state - no pull-up/pull-down is internal.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.4V ±1% (initial accuracy at 25°C); ensures stable biasing for 2.4V-core RF ICs without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA continuous; supports moderate-power RF front-end stages and low-voltage microcontrollers. |
| Dropout Voltage | 150mV at 150mA load; enables operation from 2.7V input down to 2.55V output, critical for single-cell Li-ion systems. |
| Ground Current | 85µA typical, load-independent; maintains ultra-low quiescent power across full load range, extending battery life. |
| Output Noise | 30µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz, CBYP=0.01µF); meets stringent RF supply noise requirements for LNA/VCO circuits. |
| 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/2.5V/3.3V GPIOs without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (M5) package: 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body, gull-wing leads, exposed pad not present (unlike MLF variant). RoHS-compliant, Pb-free marking "LU24".
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input supply rail | Accepts 2.7V–6V input; requires no mandatory input capacitor but benefits from 1µF if >10" from bulk source. |
| 2 (GND) | Power ground reference | Common return for IN, OUT, EN, and BYP; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 (EN) | CMOS enable input | Active-high control: high ≥1.6V enables regulation; low ≤0.4V forces near-zero IQ shutdown; must not float. |
| 4 (BYP) | Noise reference bypass | Connects to internal bandgap reference; 0.01µF to GND reduces output noise and improves PSRR at high frequencies. |
| 5 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 2.4V ±1% to load; requires ≥1µF ceramic capacitor (low-ESR) for stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ground current | 85µA constant over 0–150mA load - eliminates battery drain penalty during light-load sleep modes. |
| Active output clamp | N-channel MOSFET rapidly discharges output capacitance during shutdown, preventing residual voltage holdup on sensitive loads. |
| Push-pull output stage | P-channel pass + N-channel clamp topology achieves <10µs recovery from 100mA→100µA load transients - avoids undershoot/overshoot. |
| Low-ESR capacitor support | Stable with 1µF+ ceramic capacitors only - eliminates need for bulky, temperature-sensitive tantalum or electrolytic types. |
| Thermal protection | 150°C shutdown with 10°C hysteresis - prevents damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise, enable-controlled LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-2402E/TT | 2.4V, 250mA, 2µA IQ, no BYP pin, 115mV dropout @ 250mA | Lacks noise-bypass capability; lower IQ suits ultra-low-power sleep modes but higher noise limits RF use. | Select when lowest possible quiescent current dominates over RF noise performance. |
| Torex XC6206P242MR-G | 2.4V, 150mA, 1% accuracy, no EN pin, 160mV dropout @ 150mA, no BYP | Fixed-on operation only; no enable control or noise bypass - simpler but less flexible for dynamic power management. | Select for cost-sensitive, always-on applications where enable and ultra-low noise are unnecessary. |
Compared with MIC5247-2.4YM5-TR, MCP1700T-2402E/TT offers lower IQ but forfeits noise-bypass capability and RF-grade PSRR, while XC6206P242MR-G eliminates enable control and noise optimization entirely - making MIC5247-2.4YM5-TR uniquely suited for battery-powered RF systems requiring both precision enable sequencing and sub-35µV noise.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for MIC5247-2.4YM5-TR at 150mA output in a standard SOT-23-5 layout?
The maximum input voltage for MIC5247-2.4YM5-TR at 150mA output and 25°C ambient, using the minimum footprint layout (θJA = 235°C/W), is 5.2V. This is derived from thermal limits: PD(max) = (125°C − 25°C)/235°C/W = 425mW; then solving 425mW = (VIN − 2.4V) × 0.15A yields VIN(max) = 5.2V. Exceeding this risks thermal shutdown.
Does MIC5247-2.4YM5-TR require an input capacitor, and if so, what value is recommended?
MIC5247-2.4YM5-TR does not require an input capacitor for stability. However, a 1µF ceramic capacitor is recommended when the bulk AC supply capacitance is located more than 10 inches from the device or when powered directly from a battery. This mitigates line impedance effects and improves transient response to input voltage steps.
Can the BYP pin of MIC5247-2.4YM5-TR be left unconnected, and what is the impact on output noise?
Yes, the BYP pin of MIC5247-2.4YM5-TR may be left open with no functional risk. However, doing so results in higher output noise: 30µVRMS (with 0.01µF BYP capacitor) increases to approximately 60–70µVRMS (typical, per datasheet noise curves). For RF-sensitive applications, connecting 0.01µF to GND is strongly advised.
What is the shutdown current of MIC5247-2.4YM5-TR, and how is it achieved?
The shutdown current of MIC5247-2.4YM5-TR is 0.2–1µA (typical 0.2µA) when EN is held ≤0.4V. This "zero" off-mode current is achieved by fully disabling the internal reference, error amplifier, and pass transistor gate drive - not merely high-impedance tri-state. The active N-channel clamp also discharges the output capacitor, ensuring rapid load de-energization.
Is MIC5247-2.4YM5-TR stable with a 1µF ceramic output capacitor, and why is ESR not a concern?
Yes, MIC5247-2.4YM5-TR is explicitly designed and characterized for stability with ≥1µF ceramic output capacitors, including low-ESR types. Unlike older LDOs, its internal compensation is optimized for ceramic capacitors' near-zero ESR, eliminating the need for minimum ESR requirements or damping resistors - simplifying layout and reducing BOM count.
