Product details
Overview
MIC5265-3.0YD5 from Micrel is a 150mA low-dropout linear regulator in Pb-Free Thin SOT-23-5 packaging, delivering a fixed 3.0V output with 210mV dropout at full load, 57µVrms output noise, and 60dB PSRR at 1kHz. It serves as a clean, low-noise power source for RF receivers and digital baseband circuits in portable electronics powered by single-cell Li-ion or 3.3V/5V rails.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5265-3.0YD5 datasheet, MIC5265-3.0YD5 pinout, MIC5265-3.0YD5 application, or MIC5265-3.0YD5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its active-high enable pin, zero-off-mode shutdown current (<2µA), compatibility with 1µF ceramic output capacitors, and thermal performance in compact layouts (θJA = 235°C/W).
Technical Context
The MIC5265-3.0YD5 integrates a CMOS-based error amplifier, quick-start bypass circuitry, and an N-channel active-shutdown MOSFET to discharge the output during disable. Its internal reference is bypassed via Pin 4 (BYP), enabling noise reduction down to 57µVrms when using a 0.01µF capacitor.
It operates across 2.7V–5.5V input, supports fast load transients (5µs response with 150mA step), and maintains regulation down to zero load-critical for CMOS RAM keep-alive functions. Thermal shutdown activates at 150°C with 10°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0V ±3% over –40°C to +125°C; enables direct replacement of 3.0V logic and RF supply rails. |
| Dropout Voltage | 210mV at 150mA; allows operation from 3.21V minimum input-compatible with discharged Li-ion cells (3.0–4.2V). |
| Quiescent Current | 75µA typical; ensures ultra-low standby power in battery-critical applications like GPS receivers. |
| PSRR | 60dB at 1kHz; suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding RF front-ends. |
| Output Noise | 57µVrms (10Hz–100kHz); meets stringent phase-noise requirements in cellular transceivers and GPS LNA stages. |
| Enable Threshold | Logic-high ≥1.6V, logic-low ≤0.2V; compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Triggers at 150°C with 10°C hysteresis; prevents latch-up during sustained high-power dissipation in confined PCB areas. |
Pinout & Package
Pb-Free Thin SOT-23-5 (M5) package: 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body, 0.95mm pitch, exposed pad not present. Compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input Supply | Accepts 2.7V–5.5V; requires 1µF low-ESR ceramic bypass to GND for stability and transient immunity. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return path for input, output, and enable; must be low-impedance to minimize ground bounce in RF sections. |
| 3 (EN) | Enable Control | Active-high CMOS input; drives regulator ON/OFF; floating state prohibited-must tie to VIN or GND via resistor. |
| 4 (BYP) | Reference Bypass | Connects 0.01µF–1.0µF capacitor to GND to reduce reference noise; directly lowers output voltage noise floor. |
| 5 (OUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers 3.0V @ up to 150mA; stable with ≥1µF ceramic output capacitor (X7R/X5R dielectric recommended). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-Noise Regulation | 57µVrms output noise enables use in sensitive RF receiver chains without additional filtering. |
| Active Output Discharge | Integrated N-MOSFET pulls OUT to GND during shutdown, preventing floating voltages on downstream logic or analog circuitry. |
| No-Load Stability | Maintains regulation with 0mA load-essential for maintaining backup voltage on real-time clocks or SRAM retention rails. |
| Ceramic Capacitor Compatibility | Stable with 1µF X7R/X5R ceramics (ESR <300mΩ); eliminates need for costly tantalum or electrolytic capacitors. |
| Fast Transient Response | Settles within 5µs after 150mA load step-preserves signal integrity in burst-mode digital processors and modems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-3002E/TO | 300mA rating, 1.6µA quiescent current, SOT-23-3 package (no EN/BYP pins) | Lacks enable and bypass pins; suited for simpler, non-RF applications where noise and control are secondary | Select when board space is constrained and only basic 3.0V regulation is needed without active control or ultra-low noise. |
| TCS2103-3.0 | 150mA, 200mV dropout at 150mA, 65dB PSRR at 1kHz, SOT-23-5 with EN/BYP | Higher PSRR improves rejection of high-frequency switching noise; slightly lower dropout enhances battery life margin | Prefer when operating near minimum input voltage or in environments with strong 2.4GHz/5GHz RF coupling into power rails. |
Compared with MCP1700-3002E/TO and TCS2103-3.0, the MIC5265-3.0YD5 uniquely balances ultra-low noise (57µVrms), active output discharge, and full feature set (EN+BYP) in the same Thin SOT-23-5 footprint-making it optimal for RF-sensitive, battery-constrained portable designs requiring both precision and controllability.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MIC5265-3.0YD5?
The MIC5265-3.0YD5 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +7V, but its specified operating range is +2.7V to +5.5V. Exceeding 5.5V may cause permanent damage or unpredictable behavior. For reliable operation in single-cell Li-ion systems, the MIC5265-3.0YD5 is optimized for inputs between 3.0V and 4.2V, with headroom maintained by its 210mV dropout voltage.
Does the MIC5265-3.0YD5 require an external bypass capacitor, and what value is recommended?
Yes, the MIC5265-3.0YD5 requires an external capacitor on the BYP pin (Pin 4) to achieve its specified 57µVrms output noise. A 0.01µF ceramic capacitor is recommended for most RF applications; values up to 1.0µF further improve PSRR but increase turn-on time slightly. The capacitor must connect directly between BYP and GND, with short, low-inductance traces.
Can the MIC5265-3.0YD5 remain stable with no load connected to its output?
Yes, the MIC5265-3.0YD5 remains stable and in regulation with zero load-a key differentiator from many legacy LDOs. This capability is essential for applications such as CMOS RAM keep-alive, real-time clock backup, or sensor biasing where continuous low-current regulation is required without risk of oscillation or dropout.
What is the shutdown current of the MIC5265-3.0YD5 when the EN pin is driven low?
When the EN pin is driven below 0.2V (logic low), the MIC5265-3.0YD5 enters zero-off-mode, drawing less than 2µA total supply current-including leakage and enable-input bias. This ultra-low shutdown current extends battery life in intermittently active devices such as GPS trackers and BLE beacons where the regulator spends most time disabled.
Is the MIC5265-3.0YD5 compatible with standard 1µF ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the MIC5265-3.0YD5 is fully stable with a 1µF X7R or X5R ceramic output capacitor (ESR <300mΩ). Unlike older LDOs requiring large tantalum or aluminum electrolytics, this design eliminates ESR dependency-reducing BOM cost, board area, and failure risk while improving transient response and temperature stability across –40°C to +125°C.
