Product details
Overview
MIC5308-1.8YD6-TR from Micrel is a fixed-output 1.8V, 150mA ultra-low dropout linear regulator with 45mV dropout at full load, 23µA ground current under full load, and 90dB PSRR at 1kHz-designed for battery-powered portable electronics requiring high efficiency and fast transient response.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5308-1.8YD6-TR datasheet, MIC5308-1.8YD6-TR pinout, MIC5308-1.8YD6-TR application, or MIC5308-1.8YD6-TR equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (TSOT-23-6), confirmed bias-input architecture, validated enable-controlled zero-off-mode operation, and real-world noise suppression performance with 10nF BYP capacitor.
Technical Context
The MIC5308-1.8YD6-TR employs a dual-supply architecture: VIN powers the pass element while BIAS supplies the control circuitry, enabling ultra-low dropout (45mV @ 150mA) and stable regulation down to 1.6V input. It uses CMOS-based enable logic with active-high EN pin and integrated thermal shutdown + current limiting.
It operates across –40°C to +125°C with guaranteed 150mA output, supports 1µF ceramic output capacitance for stability, and achieves 28µVRMS output noise with 10nF BYP capacitor-optimized for digital loads in space-constrained mobile systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±2% - ensures precise core voltage for 1.8V I/O or low-power microcontrollers without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA over temperature - sufficient for RF transceivers, sensor interfaces, or baseband ICs in portable devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 45mV typical @ 150mA - enables operation from 1.845V input, maximizing battery runtime in single-cell Li-ion or coin-cell systems. |
| Ground Current | 23µA typical @ full load - reduces quiescent power loss, critical for always-on subsystems like RTC or wake-up logic. |
| PSRR | 90dB @ 1kHz with 10nF BYP - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters feeding shared bias rails. |
| Enable Threshold | Logic-high EN ≥1.2V - compatible with 1.8V GPIOs; zero-off-mode draws ≤2µA when EN ≤0.2V. |
| Input Range | VIN = 1.6V to VBIAS; VBIAS = 2.5V to 5.5V - decouples headroom requirements: VIN can be as low as 1.6V while BIAS remains robust at 3.3V/5V. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin TSOT-23 (D6), 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body, exposed pad (EPAD) internally connected to GND for thermal enhancement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Power Input for LDO Pass Element | Supplies current path to VOUT; minimum 1.6V input enables direct use after buck converter or single-cell battery. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return for VIN, VOUT, EN, and BYP; EPAD must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance. |
| 3 (BIAS) | Bias Supply Input | Powers internal control circuitry independently; allows stable regulation even when VIN sags near VOUT. |
| 4 (BYP/ADJ) | Noise Bypass / Feedback Input | In fixed versions like MIC5308-1.8YD6-TR, functions as BYP: connect 10nF to GND to reduce reference noise and improve PSRR. |
| 5 (EN) | Active-High Enable | CMOS-compatible input; drives output ON when ≥1.2V, OFF when ≤0.2V; must not float to avoid indeterminate state. |
| 6 (VOUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers stable 1.8V to load; requires ≥1µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-Supply Architecture (VIN + BIAS) | Decouples pass-element and control-circuit power domains, enabling 45mV dropout at 150mA while maintaining PSRR >70dB. |
| Ultra-Low Ground Current | 23µA at full 150mA load - minimizes system standby power, extending battery life in always-on sensor nodes. |
| Zero-Off-Mode Shutdown | ≤2µA total current draw when EN is low - eliminates leakage paths, suitable for long-duration sleep modes. |
| Stable with 1µF Ceramic Output Cap | Eliminates need for large tantalum or electrolytic capacitors; supports X7R/X5R dielectrics for wide-temp stability. |
| Integrated Protection | Thermal shutdown and foldback current limiting prevent damage during overload or ambient temperature excursions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise, low-IQ LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6219B182MR-G | Single-supply LDO (no BIAS pin); 180mV dropout @ 150mA; 1.0µA IQ; 65dB PSRR @ 1kHz. | Lacks dual-rail architecture - less effective in ultra-low-VIN scenarios; lower PSRR limits noise-sensitive RF use. | Select when board space is constrained and BIAS rail unavailable; verify dropout margin with actual VIN min. |
| Analog Devices ADP125ARHZ-1.8-R7 | Single-supply LDO; 135mV dropout @ 150mA; 30µA IQ; 70dB PSRR @ 1kHz; integrated soft-start. | No BYP pin - limited noise filtering capability; higher ground current reduces battery life in always-on mode. | Prefer when soft-start is required for sequencing; avoid where 10nF BYP-driven PSRR >85dB is mandatory. |
Compared with MIC5308-1.8YD6-TR, the XC6219B182MR-G offers smaller footprint but sacrifices 45mV dropout advantage and PSRR headroom; the ADP125ARHZ-1.8-R7 adds soft-start yet increases ground current by 30% and lacks BYP-driven noise suppression.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MIC5308-1.8YD6-TR to regulate 1.8V output?
The MIC5308-1.8YD6-TR requires VIN ≥ 1.6V per datasheet specifications. With 45mV typical dropout at 150mA, it maintains regulation down to VIN = 1.845V. However, the absolute minimum VIN is 1.6V - meaning it can sustain 1.8V output only if dropout is ≤200mV, which occurs at lighter loads. For full 150mA, VIN must be ≥1.845V.
Does MIC5308-1.8YD6-TR require an external bypass capacitor, and what value is recommended?
Yes, MIC5308-1.8YD6-TR uses the BYP pin (Pin 4) for noise reduction. A 10nF ceramic capacitor from BYP to GND is recommended to achieve 90dB PSRR at 1kHz and minimize output voltage noise (28µVRMS). Larger values improve PSRR further but increase turn-on time slightly.
How does the BIAS pin function in MIC5308-1.8YD6-TR, and what voltage range is supported?
The BIAS pin (Pin 3) supplies power to the internal control circuitry independently of VIN. It accepts 2.5V to 5.5V, allowing stable operation even when VIN sags close to VOUT. This dual-rail design enables ultra-low dropout and improves line regulation - a key differentiator versus single-supply LDOs.
What protection features are integrated into MIC5308-1.8YD6-TR?
MIC5308-1.8YD6-TR includes thermal shutdown and foldback current limiting. When junction temperature exceeds 125°C or output current exceeds ~180mA, the device limits current and shuts down to prevent damage. These protections operate across the full –40°C to +125°C operating range without external components.
Can MIC5308-1.8YD6-TR be used with a 1µF output capacitor, and what dielectric type is preferred?
Yes, MIC5308-1.8YD6-TR is optimized for stability with ≥1µF ceramic output capacitance. X7R or X5R dielectrics are preferred due to ±15% capacitance shift over temperature; Y5V/Z5U types are discouraged as their >50% drift risks instability at temperature extremes.
