Product details
Overview
MIC5265-1.8YD5 from Microchip Technology is a 1.8 V fixed-output, 150 mA low-dropout linear regulator in a 5-pin SOT-23 package with thermal shutdown and current limit protection; delivers stable output under 300 mV dropout at full load and supports battery-powered IoT sensors and portable medical monitors.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5265-1.8YD5 datasheet, MIC5265-1.8YD5 pinout, MIC5265-1.8YD5 application, or MIC5265-1.8YD5 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 150 mA, ground pin current vs. load, reverse polarity protection absence, and guaranteed stability with 1 µF ceramic output capacitor.
Technical Context
The MIC5265-1.8YD5 uses a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout operation without requiring external compensation. It integrates internal bandgap reference, error amplifier, and protection circuitry for autonomous overcurrent and thermal foldback behavior.
Designed for single-supply systems with input voltages from 2.5 V to 16 V, it maintains regulation down to 1.8 V output with ±2% initial accuracy and < ±0.1%/V line regulation across its operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±2% (guaranteed over temperature and load) |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA (sustained with thermal derating above 125°C junction) |
| Dropout Voltage | 300 mV at 150 mA (enables operation from 2.1 V input minimum) |
| Ground Pin Current | 120 µA typical at full load (low quiescent power for battery life) |
| Output Capacitor | Stable with ≥1 µF ceramic (no ESR requirement simplifies layout) |
| PSRR | 70 dB at 120 Hz (effective noise rejection for analog sensor rails) |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-23-5 (JEDEC MO-178AA), 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm footprint, 1.1 mm height, thermally enhanced pad on underside.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.5 V to 16 V; must be decoupled within 5 mm of pin |
| 2 (GND) | Power ground reference | Common return for load and regulator control circuitry |
| 3 (EN) | Active-high enable input | Pulled high internally; driven low to shut down regulator (IQ < 1 µA) |
| 4 (OUT) | Regulated output terminal | Delivers 1.8 V ±2%; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND |
| 5 (ADJ/SS) | Adjust/soft-start pin | Internally connected to feedback node; left unconnected for fixed 1.8 V mode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 300 mV @ 150 mA enables use with single Li-ion or two alkaline cells |
| No external compensation required | Stable with 1 µF ceramic output capacitor eliminates need for tantalum or large ceramics |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Activates at 160°C junction, releases at 140°C to prevent cycling during overload |
| Current limit foldback | Reduces short-circuit current to ~50 mA to limit power dissipation and package stress |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-1802E/TO | 250 mA rated, 1.8 V fixed, but only 6 µA quiescent current; no enable pin | Lacks EN control; unsuitable where dynamic power gating is required | Prefer for always-on, ultra-low-IQ applications without enable needs |
| Torex XC6206P182MR-G | 150 mA, 1.8 V fixed, 1 µF min cap, but 1.2 V min input; no thermal shutdown | Lower input voltage capability but lacks fault protection | Prefer where input stays >2.0 V and protection is handled externally |
Compared with MCP1700-1802E/TO and XC6206P182MR-G, the MIC5265-1.8YD5 uniquely combines EN control, thermal shutdown, and 300 mV dropout at 150 mA - critical for battery-fed systems requiring both safety and runtime optimization.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MIC5265-1.8YD5 to maintain regulation?
The MIC5265-1.8YD5 maintains regulation down to an input voltage of 2.1 V - calculated as 1.8 V output plus 300 mV maximum dropout at 150 mA load. Below 2.1 V, output voltage drops linearly with input. This specification is verified per Microchip's MCRLS02805-1 datasheet, Section 6.2.
Does MIC5265-1.8YD5 require an external capacitor on the ADJ/SS pin?
No. The MIC5265-1.8YD5 is a fixed-output variant; the ADJ/SS pin is internally connected to the feedback network and must be left unconnected. External capacitors on this pin are unnecessary and not recommended, as they may destabilize regulation per datasheet guidance in Section 8.2.
Can MIC5265-1.8YD5 be used with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 1 µF?
No. The MIC5265-1.8YD5 requires a minimum 1 µF ceramic capacitor on the OUT pin for guaranteed stability across all loads and temperatures. Using smaller values risks oscillation, especially under light-load conditions, as confirmed in the stability test data of MCRLS02805-1, Figure 12.
Is MIC5265-1.8YD5 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering profiles?
Yes. The MIC5265-1.8YD5 in SOT-23-5 package is qualified for standard lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020, with peak temperature up to 260°C for 30 seconds. Moisture sensitivity level is MSL-1, meaning no dry-bake is required prior to assembly.
What happens to MIC5265-1.8YD5 when the EN pin is left floating?
When the EN pin is left unconnected, the MIC5265-1.8YD5 remains enabled due to an internal pull-up resistor. The device operates normally unless EN is actively pulled below 0.4 V (typical) to disable regulation. This behavior is specified in Electrical Characteristics Table 1 of MCRLS02805-1.
