Product details
Overview
MIC5305-1.8YML-TR from Micrel is a fixed-output 1.8V, 150mA ultra-low-dropout linear regulator in a 6-pin 2mm × 2mm MLF® package, featuring 60mV dropout at full load, ±1.0% initial output accuracy, and 20µVrms output noise. It delivers stable power to noise-sensitive analog circuitry in space-constrained portable electronics with minimal external components.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5305-1.8YML-TR datasheet, MIC5305-1.8YML-TR pinout, MIC5305-1.8YML-TR application, or MIC5305-1.8YML-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.25–5.5V input range, logic-compatible enable pin, ceramic-capacitor stability, thermal shutdown protection, and Pb-free 2mm × 2mm MLF® footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MIC5305-1.8YML-TR integrates a CMOS-based LDO core with a precision bandgap reference, error amplifier, and quick-start bypass circuitry. Its architecture enables sub-100µA quiescent current across load and temperature while maintaining 85dB PSRR at 1kHz and fast 30µs turn-on time with 0.1µF bypass capacitance.
It employs internal current limiting (300–900mA) and thermal shutdown for fault protection, and its µCap design eliminates need for large electrolytic capacitors-stability is guaranteed with ≥1µF low-ESR ceramic output capacitance and optional 0.1µF bypass capacitor on the BYP pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±1.0% initial accuracy ensures reliable biasing of 1.8V I/O domains and low-voltage microcontrollers. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA guaranteed continuous output supports power delivery to multiple digital peripherals without derating. |
| Dropout Voltage | 60mV @ 150mA enables operation from 1.86V input-critical for single-cell Li-ion or Li-poly battery systems near end-of-discharge. |
| Ground Current | 90µA typical quiescent current minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems like real-time clocks or sensor wake-up circuits. |
| PSRR | 85dB @ 1kHz suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters, preserving signal integrity in audio codec supplies. |
| Output Noise | 20µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) meets stringent low-noise requirements for ADC reference buffers and RF front-end bias rails. |
| Enable Threshold | Logic-compatible EN pin activates at ≥1.0V and shuts down at ≤0.2V-directly interfaceable with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin 2mm × 2mm MLF® (leadless, exposed thermal pad grounded internally). Compact footprint supports high-density layout in handheld and wearable devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - EN | Enable input | Active-high logic control; must be pulled high or low-floating state causes indeterminate output. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for load and quiescent current; connects to exposed thermal pad for enhanced thermal performance. |
| 3 - VIN | Input supply | Accepts 2.25–5.5V; requires 1µF ceramic bypass to GND for stability and transient response. |
| 4 - VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 1.8V; stable with ≥1µF ceramic output capacitor-no ESR constraints. |
| 5 - NC | No connection | Not bonded; left unconnected-no routing or grounding required. |
| 6 - BYP | Reference bypass | Connects 0.1µF capacitor to GND to reduce output noise by >10dB and improve PSRR above 10kHz. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 60mV @ 150mA enables regulation from inputs as low as 1.86V-extends battery runtime in portable systems. |
| µCap ceramic stability | Stable with ≥1µF X7R/X5R ceramic output capacitor-eliminates bulkier tantalum or aluminum electrolytics. |
| Zero-off-mode shutdown | EN pin disables regulator to <0.5µA total current-ideal for long-term storage or deep-sleep modes. |
| High PSRR + low noise | 85dB PSRR @ 1kHz and 20µVrms noise protect sensitive analog rails from digital switching interference. |
| Thermal & current protection | Integrated thermal shutdown and 300–900mA current limit prevent damage during overload or ambient temperature excursions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1802E/MB | 150mA, 600mV dropout @ 250mA, 1.8V fixed, SOT-23-3 package, no enable pin. | Lacks EN control and BYP pin-unsuitable for systems requiring active power sequencing or ultra-low-noise operation. | Select when board space is constrained and enable/shutdown functionality is not required. |
| Torex XC6206P182MR-G | 150mA, 160mV dropout @ 100mA, 1.8V fixed, SOT-25 package, 1µA quiescent current, no BYP pin. | Lower IQ but higher dropout and no bypass option-limits use in low-input-voltage or noise-critical designs. | Select for ultra-low-power standby applications where input headroom exceeds 200mV and noise is secondary. |
Compared with MCP1700T-1802E/MB and XC6206P182MR-G, the MIC5305-1.8YML-TR uniquely combines ultra-low dropout (60mV), integrated enable, and bypass-pin noise reduction-making it optimal for high-performance portable systems demanding both efficiency and signal integrity.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MIC5305-1.8YML-TR to maintain regulation at 150mA load?
The MIC5305-1.8YML-TR requires a minimum input voltage of 1.86V to sustain 1.8V output at 150mA, based on its 60mV typical dropout voltage. At light loads, dropout decreases further-enabling operation from as low as 1.81V. Input must remain within the absolute maximum rating of 6V and operating range of 2.25–5.5V for guaranteed performance.
Does MIC5305-1.8YML-TR require an external bypass capacitor for basic operation?
No, the MIC5305-1.8YML-TR operates stably without the BYP capacitor. However, connecting a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor from BYP to GND reduces output noise from 20µVrms to <10µVrms and improves PSRR by 10–15dB above 10kHz-recommended for audio, RF, or precision analog applications.
Can MIC5305-1.8YML-TR be used with a 0.47µF output capacitor instead of the recommended 1µF?
No-MIC5305-1.8YML-TR requires ≥1µF ceramic output capacitance for guaranteed stability per the datasheet. Using 0.47µF risks high-frequency oscillation due to insufficient phase margin, especially with X7R/X5R dielectrics. Always adhere to the 1µF minimum for robust transient response and loop stability.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of MIC5305-1.8YML-TR in its standard MLF® package?
The MIC5305-1.8YML-TR has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 93°C/W when mounted on the recommended minimum copper footprint per the MLF® package data. This value assumes standard JEDEC test conditions; actual θJA improves significantly with increased PCB copper area or thermal vias to inner ground planes.
Is MIC5305-1.8YML-TR compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, MIC5305-1.8YML-TR is Pb-free and rated for standard lead-free reflow profiles, including peak temperatures up to 260°C for 5 seconds. The "Y" in the part number denotes RoHS-compliant, halogen-free packaging-fully compliant with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1).
