Product details
Overview
MIC5305-2.85YD5-TR from Micrel is a fixed-output 2.85V, 150mA ultra-low-dropout linear regulator in a thin SOT-23-5 package, featuring 60mV dropout at full load, 20µVrms output noise, and 90µA quiescent current - ideal for powering audio codecs and portable RF modules where low noise and battery efficiency are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5305-2.85YD5-TR datasheet, MIC5305-2.85YD5-TR pinout, MIC5305-2.85YD5-TR application, or MIC5305-2.85YD5-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 150mA, PSRR performance up to 85dB at 1kHz, enable-input logic thresholds, thermal resistance (235°C/W), and compatibility with 1µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The MIC5305-2.85YD5-TR integrates a CMOS-based LDO core with a precision bandgap reference, quick-start bypass circuitry, and internal thermal shutdown and current-limit protection. Its architecture enables stable regulation with no-load operation and supports fast turn-on (≤100µs) when paired with a 0.1µF bypass capacitor.
It operates across 2.25V–5.5V input range, maintains ±1.0% initial output accuracy and ±2.0% over temperature, and achieves high PSRR via active reference bypassing - delivering 85dB rejection at 1kHz and 65dB at 10kHz with 0.1µF on the BYP pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.85V ±1.0% initial accuracy ensures precise biasing for 2.8V–3.0V logic rails and analog circuits. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA guaranteed delivery supports single-rail power for baseband ICs, sensor interfaces, and low-power microcontrollers. |
| Dropout Voltage | 60mV at 150mA enables operation with minimal headroom - e.g., 2.91V input sustains 2.85V output under full load. |
| Ground Current | 90µA typical quiescent current minimizes battery drain in always-on keep-alive and sleep-mode applications. |
| Output Noise | 20µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) supports low-noise analog stages like audio DACs and RF front-end biasing. |
| PSRR | 85dB at 1kHz with 0.1µF BYP capacitor suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters. |
| Enable Threshold | Logic-compatible EN pin activates above 1.0V and shuts down below 0.2V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO control. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Thin SOT-23-5 (TSOT-23-5), 5-pin, 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body height, exposed pad internally connected to GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VIN | Supply Input | Accepts 2.25V–5.5V input; requires 1µF ceramic decoupling to GND for stability. |
| 2 - GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path; connects internally to exposed thermal pad for heat dissipation. |
| 3 - EN | Enable Input | Active-high CMOS input; must be pulled high (>1.0V) to enable regulation; floating prohibited. |
| 4 - VOUT | Regulated Output | Delivers stable 2.85V; requires ≥1µF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitor to GND for loop stability. |
| 5 - BYP | Reference Bypass | Connects 0.1µF capacitor to GND to reduce output noise and improve PSRR; open-circuit allowed. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| µCap ceramic-stable design | Operates stably with only 1µF output capacitance - eliminates need for large tantalum or electrolytic caps. |
| Zero-off-mode shutdown | Draws ≤0.5µA when EN ≤ 0.2V - enables true power gating in battery-backed systems. |
| Thermal + current protection | Internally limits output current to 300–900mA and disables output if junction exceeds 125°C. |
| No-load regulation | Maintains 2.85V output with zero load - essential for CMOS RAM backup and real-time clock power rails. |
| Fast transient response | Load step recovery within microseconds due to high-bandwidth error amplifier and quick-start BYP circuit. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-285I/TT | 300mA rated, 1.6µA quiescent current, 170mV dropout @ 250mA; SOT-23-5 package. | Higher IOUT but higher dropout and noise (30µVrms); lacks BYP pin for noise optimization. | Select when higher output current is needed and lower noise is not critical. |
| TCS2115-2.85V | 150mA rated, 25µVrms noise, 65mV dropout @ 150mA; same SOT-23-5 footprint. | Slightly higher noise and dropout; no enable pin - always-on operation only. | Select when enable functionality is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs feature parity. |
Compared with MIC5305-2.85YD5-TR, MCP1700T-285I/TT trades ultra-low noise and enable control for higher current capacity, while TCS2115-2.85V offers matching current and package but omits EN and BYP pins - making MIC5305-2.85YD5-TR optimal for noise-sensitive, enable-controlled portable designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MIC5305-2.85YD5-TR?
The MIC5305-2.85YD5-TR has an absolute maximum input voltage (VIN) rating of 6V. Its recommended operating input range is 2.25V to 5.5V. Exceeding 6V may cause permanent damage. For reliable long-term operation, maintain VIN within the specified 2.25–5.5V window, especially under thermal stress or high load conditions.
Does the MIC5305-2.85YD5-TR require an external bypass capacitor on the BYP pin?
The MIC5305-2.85YD5-TR does not require an external bypass capacitor on the BYP pin to function, but adding a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor from BYP to GND reduces output noise to 20µVrms and improves PSRR to 85dB at 1kHz. Leaving BYP open results in higher noise and lower PSRR - acceptable only in non-critical digital supply applications.
Can the MIC5305-2.85YD5-TR operate without any load connected to VOUT?
Yes, the MIC5305-2.85YD5-TR remains stable and in regulation with zero load - a key differentiator from many legacy LDOs. This no-load stability is confirmed in the datasheet and enables use in CMOS RAM keep-alive circuits, RTC backup rails, and other always-on low-power nodes where intermittent or zero-current draw is expected.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the MIC5305-2.85YD5-TR in its TSOT-23-5 package?
The MIC5305-2.85YD5-TR in the thin SOT-23-5 (D5) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 235°C/W, as specified in the datasheet. This value assumes standard PCB layout with minimal copper; adding thermal vias to the exposed pad significantly improves heat dissipation and lowers effective θJA in production layouts.
Is the MIC5305-2.85YD5-TR pin-compatible with other variants in the MIC5305 family?
Yes, all MIC5305 variants in the TSOT-23-5 (D5) package - including MIC5305-2.85YD5-TR, MIC5305-3.0YD5-TR, and MIC5305-3.3YD5-TR - share identical pinout, footprint, and electrical interface. Only the fixed output voltage differs; no PCB redesign is required when substituting between D5-package versions with compatible voltage requirements.
