Product details
Overview
MIC5305-2.85YML-TR from Micrel is a fixed-output 2.85V, 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 - designed for space-constrained, battery-powered audio codec and portable electronics power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5305-2.85YML-TR datasheet, MIC5305-2.85YML-TR pinout, MIC5305-2.85YML-TR application, or MIC5305-2.85YML-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 150mA, PSRR performance up to 85dB at 1kHz, enable pin logic compatibility, thermal shutdown behavior, and ceramic capacitor stability with 1µF output capacitance.
Technical Context
The MIC5305-2.85YML-TR integrates a CMOS-based LDO core with a precision bandgap reference, quick-start bypass circuitry, and internal current limit (300–900mA) plus thermal shutdown protection. Its error amplifier drives a low-RDS(on) pass element optimized for 2.25V–5.5V input range.
Operation relies on three external capacitors: 1µF input, 1µF output, and optional 0.1µF bypass on the BYP pin to reduce reference noise and improve PSRR. The EN pin accepts 0–VIN logic-level control with <1µA leakage in both states.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.85V ±1.0% initial accuracy ensures stable bias for audio codecs and RF front-ends without trimming. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA guaranteed continuous output supports single-rail digital baseband or sensor interface ICs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 60mV @ 150mA enables operation from 2.91V input - critical for Li-ion single-cell systems near end-of-discharge. |
| Ground Current | 90µA typical quiescent current minimizes standby power loss in always-on keep-alive circuits. |
| PSRR | 85dB @ 1kHz with 0.1µF BYP capacitor suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters. |
| Output Noise | 20µVrms (10Hz–100kHz) preserves SNR in analog signal chains like microphone preamps or DAC outputs. |
| Enable Threshold | Logic-high enable ≥1.0V allows direct interfacing with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin 2mm × 2mm MLF® (exposed pad grounded), 0.5mm pitch, RoHS-compliant leadless construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - EN | Active-high enable input | CMOS-compatible control pin; must be pulled high (>1.0V) to activate regulator; floating state prohibited. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Primary return path for load and quiescent current; connects internally to exposed heatsink pad. |
| 3 - VIN | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.25V–5.5V; requires 1µF ceramic bypass to GND for stability and transient response. |
| 4 - VOUT | Regulated output terminal | Delivers 2.85V ±1.0% to load; stable with ≥1µF X7R/X5R ceramic output capacitor. |
| 5 - NC | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; no external connection required; electrically isolated. |
| 6 - BYP | Reference bypass node | 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 capacitors. |

| Ultra-thin profile | 0.55mm max height in MLF® package fits within tight Z-axis constraints of slim mobile devices. |
| High-accuracy thermal regulation | ±2.0% output tolerance over –40°C to +125°C junction temperature ensures consistent performance across environmental extremes. |

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/OT | 300mA output, 1.6µA quiescent current, SOT-23-3 package, no enable or bypass pin. | Lacks EN/BYP functionality; suited for simpler, lower-current, cost-sensitive designs without noise-critical analog sections. | Select when board space permits SOT-23-3 and system does not require zero-off-mode or PSRR optimization. |
| Torex XC6206P282MR-G | 150mA output, 1.0% accuracy, SOT-25 package, no enable pin, 25µVrms noise, 120mV dropout @150mA. | Higher dropout limits usable input range; no enable function restricts power sequencing flexibility. | Choose for footprint compatibility with existing SOT-25 layouts where enable control is unnecessary and 2.85V accuracy is acceptable. |
Compared with MCP1700T-285I/OT and XC6206P282MR-G, the MIC5305-2.85YML-TR uniquely combines ultra-low dropout (60mV), integrated enable, bypass-capacitor noise reduction, and MLF® space efficiency - making it optimal for compact, noise-sensitive, battery-constrained applications requiring precise 2.85V regulation.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MIC5305-2.85YML-TR?
The MIC5305-2.85YML-TR has an absolute maximum input voltage of 6V, but its recommended operating input range is 2.25V to 5.5V. Exceeding 5.5V may trigger internal protection or cause reliability degradation. The device achieves optimal PSRR and dropout performance within this specified range, and operation above 5.5V voids guaranteed specifications per the datasheet's Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does the MIC5305-2.85YML-TR require an external bypass capacitor for basic operation?
No, the MIC5305-2.85YML-TR operates stably without an external bypass capacitor on the BYP pin. However, connecting a 0.1µF capacitor from BYP to GND reduces output noise to 20µVrms and improves PSRR to 85dB at 1kHz - essential for noise-sensitive analog circuits. Leaving BYP open is permissible but sacrifices noise and ripple rejection performance.
Can the MIC5305-2.85YML-TR be used with a 1.0µF X5R ceramic output capacitor?
Yes, the MIC5305-2.85YML-TR is specifically characterized and guaranteed stable with a 1.0µF X5R or X7R ceramic output capacitor. The datasheet confirms stability across temperature and bias conditions using these dielectrics. Y5V or Z5U capacitors are discouraged due to excessive capacitance drift, which may compromise regulation under varying thermal or voltage conditions.
What is the thermal shutdown threshold of the MIC5305-2.85YML-TR?
The MIC5305-2.85YML-TR activates thermal shutdown when the junction temperature exceeds +125°C, as defined in its Absolute Maximum Ratings. Recovery occurs once the junction cools below approximately +110°C, allowing automatic restart. This protection is internal and non-latching; no external reset is needed. Thermal resistance θJA is 93°C/W for the MLF® package, so ambient temperature limits depend on power dissipation - e.g., at 150mA and 5.0V input, max ambient is ~95°C.
Is the MIC5305-2.85YML-TR pin-compatible with other variants in the MIC5305 family?
Yes, all MIC5305 fixed-output variants in the 6-pin 2mm × 2mm MLF® package - including MIC5305-2.85YML-TR - share identical pinout, footprint, and thermal characteristics. Voltage differences are implemented internally; no PCB layout change is required when substituting between MIC5305-2.5YML-TR, MIC5305-2.85YML-TR, or MIC5305-3.3YML-TR, provided input/output capacitor values remain appropriate for the new output voltage.
