Product details
Overview
MIC5302-2.1YMT-TR from Micrel is a fixed 2.1V ultra-low dropout (ULDO™) CMOS linear regulator delivering up to 150mA with 50mV dropout at full load, 120µVRMS output noise, and ±2% initial output accuracy. It operates from 2.3V–5.5V input and targets space-constrained RF power stages in mobile phones and camera modules.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5302-2.1YMT-TR datasheet, MIC5302-2.1YMT-TR pinout, MIC5302-2.1YMT-TR application, or MIC5302-2.1YMT-TR equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping, thermal performance data across –40°C to +125°C, enable-controlled zero-off-mode operation, and ceramic-capacitor-stable design for portable imaging and wireless subsystems.
Technical Context
The MIC5302-2.1YMT-TR integrates a precision bandgap reference, error amplifier, and PMOS pass transistor in a single-stage LDO architecture. Its active-high enable input directly controls the pass device gate via internal logic, enabling fast 35µs turn-on while maintaining <0.1µA shutdown current.
Designed for high PSRR in RF-sensitive applications, it achieves 65dB ripple rejection below 1kHz and sustains stability with ≥1µF X7R ceramic output capacitors-no external compensation required. Thermal shutdown and foldback current limiting protect against sustained overloads at junction temperatures up to +125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.1V ±2% initial accuracy ensures stable biasing for 2.1V-tolerant image sensors and RF ICs without external feedback. |
| Dropout Voltage | 50mV at 150mA enables regulation from 2.15V input-critical for battery-powered systems operating near end-of-discharge. |
| Output Noise | 120µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) minimizes phase noise coupling into RF front-ends and analog sensor signal chains. |
| Quiescent Current | 85µA typical ground current supports always-on functions like real-time clocks or memory backup with minimal battery drain. |
| Enable Threshold | Logic-high enable requires ≥1.1V; logic-low disable draws ≤2µA-compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIOs without level-shifting. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 173°C/W in 1.2mm × 1.6mm Thin MLF® allows 150mA continuous output at ambient ≤104°C with minimum footprint layout. |
| Stability | Guaranteed stable with 1µF X7R ceramic output capacitor-eliminates need for tantalum or electrolytic alternatives. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 4-pin 1.2mm × 1.6mm Thin MLF® (MT) with exposed thermal pad (EPAD) internally connected to GND. Occupies only 1.92mm² PCB area-50% smaller than SC-70 and 2mm × 2mm MLF® packages.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - EN | Active-high enable input | Drives internal pass transistor gate; must be pulled high (>1.1V) for regulation or low (<0.2V) for zero-current shutdown-floating state prohibited. |
| 2 - GND | Power and signal ground reference | Connects to PCB ground plane and EPAD; serves as return path for load, quiescent, and enable currents. |
| 3 - VIN | Input supply terminal | Accepts 2.3V–5.5V; requires 1µF low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin for transient immunity. |
| 4 - VOUT | Regulated output terminal | Delivers 2.1V ±2% to load; connects to 1µF X7R ceramic output capacitor-no ESR requirements or series resistance needed. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small footprint | 1.2mm × 1.6mm Thin MLF® package reduces board area by 50% vs. SC-70-enables placement directly beneath camera modules or RF ICs. |
| Zero-off-mode shutdown | Draws ≤2µA when EN = low-preserves battery life in sleep modes of portable media players and GPS receivers. |
| RF-optimized noise performance | 120µVRMS output noise and 65dB PSRR below 1kHz prevent clock jitter and SNR degradation in RF transceivers and CMOS image sensors. |
| Ceramic-capacitor-only stability | No external compensation required with ≥1µF X7R ceramic output capacitor-reduces BOM count and eliminates ESR tuning. |
| Wide temperature operation | Specified from –40°C to +125°C junction temperature-supports under-hood automotive camera modules and industrial handheld scanners. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6219B212MR-G | 2.1V fixed output, 100mA max, 150mV dropout at 100mA, 40µVRMS noise, SOT-25 package (2.9mm × 2.8mm) | Lower noise but 33% lower current rating and 3.7× larger footprint-unsuitable for 150mA camera sensor rails. | Select when ultra-low noise dominates over current capability and board space is not constrained. |
| Analog Devices ADP160ACBZ-2.1-R7 | 2.1V fixed output, 150mA max, 195mV dropout at 150mA, 25µVRMS noise, 5-pin TSOT-23 package | Superior noise and PSRR but higher dropout limits use below 2.3V input; requires 2.2µF output capacitor. | Select for ultra-sensitive RF receivers where 25µV noise justifies larger dropout penalty and extra capacitance. |
Compared with XC6219B212MR-G and ADP160ACBZ-2.1-R7, the MIC5302-2.1YMT-TR uniquely balances 150mA delivery, 50mV dropout, and 120µVRMS noise in a 1.92mm² footprint-making it optimal for space-limited, battery-voltage-critical imaging and RF subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the MIC5302-2.1YMT-TR?
The MIC5302-2.1YMT-TR delivers up to 150mA of guaranteed continuous output current across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. This rating is validated with proper thermal layout using the exposed pad and adhering to θJA = 173°C/W. At 150mA and 2.3V input, dropout remains within specification at 50mV.
Does the MIC5302-2.1YMT-TR require an external output capacitor, and what type is recommended?
Yes, the MIC5302-2.1YMT-TR requires a minimum 1µF output capacitor for stability. X7R dielectric ceramic capacitors are explicitly recommended due to their ±15% capacitance tolerance over temperature-ensuring consistent regulation across –40°C to +125°C. Z5U or Y5V types are discouraged due to >50% capacitance loss at temperature extremes.
How does the enable function operate on the MIC5302-2.1YMT-TR, and what happens in shutdown mode?
The MIC5302-2.1YMT-TR features an active-high enable pin (EN). When EN ≥ 1.1V, the regulator powers up with 35µs typical turn-on time; when EN ≤ 0.2V, it enters zero-off-mode drawing ≤2µA total current. The EN pin must never be left floating-it requires a defined logic level to avoid indeterminate output states.
Can the MIC5302-2.1YMT-TR be used with input voltages below 2.3V?
No-the MIC5302-2.1YMT-TR has a specified minimum input voltage of 2.3V per its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Operating Ratings tables. Operation below 2.3V is not characterized and may result in unregulated output, increased dropout, or failure to maintain 2.1V ±2% accuracy. For sub-2.3V applications, consider alternative regulators with lower VIN(min).
What thermal considerations apply when using the MIC5302-2.1YMT-TR at full 150mA load?
At 150mA with 2.3V input and 2.1V output, power dissipation is ~30mW. With θJA = 173°C/W and TJ(max) = +125°C, the maximum allowable ambient temperature is ~123°C-well above typical operating conditions. However, PCB layout must include the EPAD soldered to a thermal copper pour to achieve rated θJA.
