Product details
Overview
MIC5265-3.1YD5 from Micrel is a 150mA low-dropout linear regulator in Pb-free Thin SOT-23-5 packaging, delivering a fixed 3.1V 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 receiver stages and digital baseband circuitry in portable battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5265-3.1YD5 datasheet, MIC5265-3.1YD5 pinout, MIC5265-3.1YD5 application, or MIC5265-3.1YD5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its active shutdown discharge capability, compatibility with 0.01µF bypass capacitors for noise reduction, stable operation with ceramic output capacitors ≥1µF, and enable-input logic thresholds (1.6V high / 0.2V low) for precise system-level power sequencing.
Technical Context
The MIC5265-3.1YD5 integrates a CMOS-based error amplifier, reference bypass path, and active N-channel MOSFET shutdown clamp. Its quick-start circuit enables fast turn-on (<150µs) even with 1µF bypass capacitance, while thermal shutdown (150°C) and current limiting (225mA) provide robust protection.
It operates across 2.7V–5.5V input range-compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) and fixed 3.3V/5V rails-and maintains regulation down to zero load. Ground pin current remains ≤150µA at 150mA load, supporting ultra-low-quiescent-current system design.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.1V ±3% over –40°C to +125°C; ensures stable bias for RF synthesizers and ADC references. |
| Dropout Voltage | 210mV at 150mA load; enables operation from 3.31V minimum input-critical for Li-ion end-of-discharge support. |
| Quiescent Current | 75µA typical; minimizes standby power loss in always-on GPS receivers and cellular standby modes. |
| PSRR | 60dB at 1kHz; suppresses switching noise from PMICs or DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input rail. |
| Output Noise | 57µVrms (10Hz–100kHz); meets stringent phase-noise requirements in RF front-end power domains. |
| Enable Threshold | Logic-high ≥1.6V, logic-low ≤0.2V; compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting in host SoC interfaces. |
| Shutdown Current | ≤2µA at VEN = 0V; eliminates leakage paths during deep-sleep states in portable devices. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Pb-Free Thin SOT-23-5 (M5), 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint, 1.1mm max height, θJA = 235°C/W on minimal PCB copper.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Supply Input | Accepts 2.7V–5.5V input; requires 1µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability and high-frequency noise filtering. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Low-impedance return path for regulator core and load; ground pin current ≤150µA at full 150mA load. |
| 3 (EN) | Enable Input | Active-high CMOS control: drives output ON when ≥1.6V, OFF when ≤0.2V; must not be left floating. |
| 4 (BYP) | Reference Bypass | Connects 0.01µF–1µF capacitor to GND to reduce reference noise; directly lowers output voltage noise floor. |
| 5 (OUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers 3.1V to load; stable with ≥1µF ceramic output capacitor (ESR ≤300mΩ); includes active discharge FET. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Active Output Discharge | Integrated N-channel MOSFET clamps OUT to GND during shutdown-prevents floating voltage on downstream circuitry. |
| Ceramic-Capacitor Stability | Guaranteed stable with ≥1µF X7R/X5R ceramic output caps (ESR ≤300mΩ); eliminates need for tantalum or electrolytic alternatives. |
| Low-Noise Bypass Path | Dedicated BYP pin accepts 0.01µF capacitor to cut output noise by >50% versus standard LDOs-optimized for RF synth supplies. |
| Fast Transient Response | Load step recovery <5µs (100µA ↔ 150mA); maintains regulation during burst-mode digital processor activity. |
| No-Load Regulation | Maintains 3.1V output with zero load current-enables reliable keep-alive power for SRAM or real-time clocks. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MIC5265-3.1YD5?
The MIC5265-3.1YD5 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 with single-cell Li-ion batteries, the MIC5265-3.1YD5 supports full discharge down to 2.7V while maintaining 3.1V output regulation.
Does the MIC5265-3.1YD5 require an external bypass capacitor, and what value is recommended?
Yes-the MIC5265-3.1YD5 features a dedicated BYP pin for noise reduction. A 0.01µF ceramic capacitor connected between BYP and GND is recommended to achieve the specified 57µVrms output noise. Larger values up to 1µF further improve PSRR but slightly increase turn-on time; the MIC5265-3.1YD5's quick-start circuit mitigates this penalty.
Can the MIC5265-3.1YD5 remain stable with no load connected to its output?
Yes-the MIC5265-3.1YD5 is explicitly characterized for no-load stability and maintains regulation at 0mA output current. This feature is critical for applications like SRAM keep-alive circuits or real-time clock backup supplies where continuous, low-current regulation is required without risk of oscillation or dropout.
What is the purpose of the active shutdown function in the MIC5265-3.1YD5?
The MIC5265-3.1YD5 incorporates an integrated N-channel MOSFET that actively discharges the output capacitor when the EN pin is driven low. This prevents residual voltage from lingering on downstream circuitry after shutdown-ensuring safe, deterministic power-down sequencing in multi-rail portable systems and eliminating need for external bleed resistors.
Is the MIC5265-3.1YD5 compatible with ceramic output capacitors, and what ESR range is supported?
Yes-the MIC5265-3.1YD5 is optimized for ceramic output capacitors ≥1µF with ESR ≤300mΩ. X7R or X5R dielectrics are recommended for temperature stability. High-ESR capacitors (e.g., aluminum electrolytic) may induce high-frequency oscillation and are not supported. The MIC5265-3.1YD5 does not require series resistance for stability.
