Product details
Overview
MIC5305-2.0YML-TR from Micrel is a fixed-output 2.0V, 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 systems.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5305-2.0YML-TR datasheet, MIC5305-2.0YML-TR pinout, MIC5305-2.0YML-TR application, or MIC5305-2.0YML-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under 150mA load, PSRR performance above 85dB at 1kHz, enable pin logic compatibility, ceramic capacitor stability, and thermal resistance of 93°C/W in the MLF package.
Technical Context
The MIC5305-2.0YML-TR integrates a CMOS-based LDO core with a precision bandgap reference, quick-start bypass circuitry, and thermal shutdown protection. Its error amplifier drives a low-RDS(on) pass transistor optimized for 60mV dropout at 150mA while maintaining stability with ≥1µF ceramic output capacitance.
It uses an active-high enable input compatible with 1.0V logic high threshold and 0.2V logic low threshold, and includes a dedicated BYP pin for external 0.1µF capacitor connection to reduce reference noise and improve PSRR by up to 85dB at 1kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.0V ±1.0% initial accuracy ensures precise biasing for 2.0V logic rails and analog sensors. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA guaranteed continuous output supports moderate-power RF modules and audio codecs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 60mV @ 150mA enables operation from 2.06V input - critical for single-cell Li-ion or Li-poly battery systems. |
| PSRR | 85dB @ 1kHz with 0.1µF BYP capacitor suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters. |
| Output Noise | 20µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) minimizes jitter in clock buffers and SNR degradation in ADC/DAC signal chains. |
| Quiescent Current | 90µA typical at light load extends battery life in always-on keep-alive circuits like RTC or SRAM backup. |
| Enable Threshold | Logic-compatible: 1.0V min high, 0.2V max low - interfaces directly with 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V GPIO without level shifters. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.25V to 5.5V supports wide-input applications including USB-powered peripherals and multi-rail systems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin 2mm × 2mm MLF® (leadless, exposed thermal pad grounded internally).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - EN | Enable input | Active-high digital control: drives output on when ≥1.0V; reduces ground current to 0.5µA when ≤0.2V. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground | Reference node for all internal circuitry and thermal path via exposed pad; must be soldered to PCB ground plane. |
| 3 - VIN | Input supply | Accepts 2.25–5.5V; requires 1µF ceramic bypass capacitor to ensure transient response and stability. |
| 4 - VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 2.0V ±1.0%; stable with ≥1µF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitor; no-load regulation supported. |
| 5 - NC | No connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - not tied to any net including ground or VOUT. |
| 6 - BYP | Reference bypass | Connects to 0.1µF capacitor to GND to reduce output noise and improve PSRR; optional but recommended for low-noise apps. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| µCap ceramic-stable design | Operates with ≥1µF X7R/X5R ceramic output capacitor - eliminates need for bulky tantalum or electrolytic caps. |
| Zero-off-mode shutdown | Draws only 0.5µA when EN ≤ 0.2V - ideal for battery-backed memory retention and low-power sleep states. |
| High PSRR with BYP pin | 85dB rejection at 1kHz achieved by adding 0.1µF to BYP - enables clean power in mixed-signal SoC environments. |
| Thermal and current protection | Integrated thermal shutdown and 300–900mA current limit prevent damage during overload or ambient temperature excursions. |
| Fast turn-on time | 30–100µs startup with 1µF COUT and 0.1µF CBYP - meets timing requirements for rapid system wake-up sequences. |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from –40°C to +125°C junction temperature - suitable for automotive infotainment and industrial edge nodes. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-2002E/TO | 250mA rated, 1.6µA quiescent current, SOT-23-3 package, no enable or BYP pin. | Lacks active enable and noise-reduction bypass functionality; limited to simpler, lower-current apps without dynamic power control. | Select when ultra-low IQ dominates over noise performance and enable control is unnecessary. |
| Torex XC6206P202MR-G | 150mA rated, 3µA IQ, SOT-25 package, no BYP pin, ±2% output accuracy. | Lower accuracy and no bypass option limits suitability for precision analog or high-PSRR applications. | Select for cost-sensitive, low-power always-on functions where 2% tolerance and absence of noise filtering are acceptable. |
Compared with MCP1700-2002E/TO and XC6206P202MR-G, the MIC5305-2.0YML-TR uniquely combines 60mV dropout, 20µVrms noise, active enable, and BYP-pin PSRR enhancement - making it optimal for noise-critical, dynamically powered portable subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MIC5305-2.0YML-TR?
The MIC5305-2.0YML-TR has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 6V, but its specified operating input range is 2.25V to 5.5V. Exceeding 5.5V may cause permanent damage or violate safe operating area limits, even if within the 6V absolute maximum. Always maintain VIN ≤ 5.5V in normal operation to ensure reliability and parametric compliance per the June 2007 datasheet.
Does the MIC5305-2.0YML-TR require an external bypass capacitor on the BYP pin?
The MIC5305-2.0YML-TR does not require an external capacitor on the BYP pin for basic operation, but a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to ground is strongly recommended to achieve 85dB PSRR at 1kHz and reduce output noise to 20µVrms. Omitting the BYP capacitor degrades noise performance and PSRR, particularly in noisy mixed-signal environments where the MIC5305-2.0YML-TR is commonly deployed.
Can the MIC5305-2.0YML-TR operate stably with no load connected to VOUT?
Yes, the MIC5305-2.0YML-TR remains stable and in regulation with zero load - a key differentiator from many legacy LDOs. This capability is explicitly confirmed in the Application Information section and enables use in CMOS RAM keep-alive circuits, real-time clock backups, and other always-on, ultra-low-current applications where the MIC5305-2.0YML-TR delivers 2.0V with ±1.0% accuracy even at 0mA load.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the MIC5305-2.0YML-TR in its MLF package?
For the MIC5305-2.0YML-TR in the 6-pin 2mm × 2mm MLF® package, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) is 93°C/W under standard PCB mounting conditions with recommended minimum copper footprint. This value assumes proper soldering of the exposed thermal pad to a solid ground plane - failure to do so will significantly increase θJA and risk thermal shutdown under 150mA load.
Is the NC pin on the MIC5305-2.0YML-TR required to be left unconnected?
Yes, Pin 5 (NC) on the MIC5305-2.0YML-TR must remain unconnected - it is internally not bonded and has no electrical function. Connecting it to ground, VOUT, or any other net may compromise device reliability or parametric performance. The datasheet explicitly states "NC - No connection for fixed voltage parts" and confirms this pin is not to be used in the MLF-6 fixed-voltage configuration of the MIC5305-2.0YML-TR.
