Product details
Overview
MIC5310-SGYML-TR from Micrel is a dual-output ultra-low dropout (ULDO™) linear regulator delivering 3.3V/1.8V at 150mA per channel in an 8-pin 2mm × 2mm MLF® package. It features 35mV dropout at full load, 30µVRMS output noise, >70dB PSRR at 1kHz, ±2% initial output accuracy, and µCap stability with only 1µF ceramic output capacitors - optimized for RF-sensitive power domains in compact portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5310-SGYML-TR datasheet, MIC5310-SGYML-TR pinout, MIC5310-SGYML-TR application, or MIC5310-SGYML-TR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world application mapping for camera modules and baseband processors, and two confirmed alternative regulators with documented voltage/output configuration differences.
Technical Context
The MIC5310-SGYML-TR integrates two independent CMOS-based ULDO regulators sharing a common input but with separate enable inputs (EN1/EN2) and outputs (VOUT1/VOUT2), enabling selective power sequencing. Each regulator uses a precision bandgap reference bypassed via the BYP pin to achieve 30µVRMS noise performance.
Its µCap architecture eliminates need for large bulk capacitance: stable with 1µF ceramic output caps and 0.1µF BYP cap, while maintaining fast 30µs startup and excellent load transient response. Thermal shutdown and current limit protection are built-in, with junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 90°C/W in the MLF® package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltages | 3.3V (VOUT1) and 1.8V (VOUT2) - fixed, non-adjustable, enabling direct powering of I/O and core rails in SoC/camera systems |
| Max Output Current | 150mA per channel - sufficient for image sensor analog front-ends and low-power DSP cores without derating at +85°C ambient |
| Dropout Voltage | 35mV @ 150mA - allows operation with minimal VIN–VOUT margin (e.g., 3.3V IN → 3.3V OUT), critical for battery-powered systems |
| PSRR | >70dB @ 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input, preserving signal integrity in RF sections |
| Output Noise | 30µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) - low enough for powering PLLs, ADC references, and CMOS image sensor analog blocks |
| Quiescent Current | 75µA per output - enables always-on biasing of memory retention or real-time clock circuits with negligible battery drain |
| Enable Logic | Active-high EN1/EN2 with 1.1V logic-high threshold - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIOs; floating pins prohibited |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin 2mm × 2mm leadless MLF® (MicroLeadFrame) with exposed thermal pad (EP); RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish; halogen-free mold compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Supply Input | Common input for both LDOs; requires 1µF ceramic bypass to GND for stability and noise suppression |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary ground return; must be connected to EP (exposed pad) for optimal thermal and electrical performance |
| 3 (BYP) | Reference Bypass | Connects to internal bandgap reference; 0.1µF capacitor to GND reduces output noise by ~30% and improves PSRR |
| 4 (EN2) | Enable Input – LDO2 | Active-high control for 1.8V output; logic high ≥1.1V enables regulation; must not float |
| 5 (EN1) | Enable Input – LDO1 | Active-high control for 3.3V output; independent sequencing enables power-up order control (e.g., VIO before VCore) |
| 6 (NC) | No Connect | Not internally bonded; no electrical function; PCB pad may be omitted or grounded for mechanical stability |
| 7 (VOUT2) | Regulator Output – LDO2 | 1.8V fixed output; supplies digital I/O, memory interfaces, or baseband processor peripherals |
| 8 (VOUT1) | Regulator Output – LDO1 | 3.3V fixed output; powers analog front-end, camera sensor interface, or RF transceiver bias rails |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent enables | EN1 and EN2 allow staggered power-up/down of 3.3V and 1.8V rails - essential for meeting SoC reset timing requirements |
| µCap stability | Stable with 1µF ceramic output capacitors per rail - eliminates need for larger, costly tantalum or aluminum electrolytics |
| Ultra-low noise | 30µVRMS output noise enables direct powering of noise-sensitive analog circuitry without additional filtering |
| Fast startup | 30µs turn-on time supports dynamic power gating in portable devices - reduces wake-up latency for camera or GPS functions |
| Thermal protection | Internal thermal shutdown activates at ~150°C junction temperature - prevents damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking |
Applications
| Mobile Camera Module Power | Baseband Processor Core/I/O Supply |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6223D331GR-G | Single-output 3.3V LDO (150mA); no 1.8V rail or dual-enable capability | Requires separate 1.8V regulator; increases BOM count and layout complexity | Only suitable when 1.8V rail is already available or can be generated elsewhere |
| Ricoh RP512K331D-TR-F | Dual-output (3.3V/1.8V), but uses open-drain EN pins requiring pull-up resistors; 50mV dropout @ 150mA | Higher dropout reduces usable battery range; EN logic mismatch complicates GPIO interfacing | Acceptable if system has spare pull-up resources and 150mV extra VIN headroom is available |
Compared with MIC5310-SGYML-TR, XC6223D331GR-G lacks integrated dual-rail functionality and increases design footprint, while RP512K331D-TR-F requires external pull-ups and sacrifices 15mV dropout margin - making MIC5310-SGYML-TR the optimal choice for space-constrained, battery-sensitive dual-rail applications demanding ultra-low noise and precise sequencing.

FAQ
What are the exact output voltages provided by the MIC5310-SGYML-TR?
The MIC5310-SGYML-TR delivers fixed 3.3V on VOUT1 (pin 8) and fixed 1.8V on VOUT2 (pin 7). These values are laser-trimmed at wafer test and guaranteed within ±2% initial accuracy over temperature and load. The marking "SGZ" on the top-side silkscreen confirms the 3.3V/1.8V configuration per Micrel's ordering table.
Does the MIC5310-SGYML-TR require external capacitors for stability, and what values are recommended?
Yes, the MIC5310-SGYML-TR requires three external capacitors: a 1µF ceramic capacitor from VIN to GND (pin 1→2), a 1µF ceramic capacitor from each VOUT to GND (pins 7 and 8→2), and a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor from BYP to GND (pin 3→2). X7R dielectric is recommended for all; Y5V is discouraged due to excessive capacitance drift over temperature.
Can the MIC5310-SGYML-TR operate with input voltage below 2.3V?
No. The MIC5310-SGYML-TR has a specified minimum input voltage of 2.3V per its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Operating Ratings tables. Operation below 2.3V is not characterized and may result in loss of regulation, especially on the 3.3V output where VIN must exceed VOUT by at least the dropout voltage (≥35mV).
How does the BYP pin affect noise and PSRR performance of the MIC5310-SGYML-TR?
The BYP pin connects directly to the internal bandgap reference. Adding a 0.1µF capacitor from BYP to GND reduces output voltage noise by approximately 30% and improves PSRR by 5–8dB across 100Hz–10kHz. Larger bypass capacitors further reduce noise but increase startup time slightly - the MIC5310-SGYML-TR's quick-start circuit mitigates this penalty.
Is thermal pad (EP) connection mandatory for the MIC5310-SGYML-TR, and how should it be implemented?
Yes, the exposed pad (EP) must be soldered to a solid GND plane on the PCB. It serves as the primary thermal and electrical ground path. Micrel specifies a minimum footprint matching the pad dimensions (1.6mm × 1.6mm) with at least four thermal vias to inner-layer GND planes. Omitting EP connection degrades θJA from 90°C/W to >120°C/W and risks thermal shutdown under full load.
