Product details
Overview
MIC5315-GW3YMT-TR from Micrel is a dual low-dropout linear regulator IC delivering two independent 300mA outputs with fixed VOUT1 = 1.8V and voltage-selectable VOUT2 (1.6V or 1.1V), ultra-low dropout of 85mV at full load, 1% output accuracy, and operation down to 1.7V input - designed for power management in portable battery-powered systems such as GPS receivers and digital cameras.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5315-GW3YMT-TR datasheet, MIC5315-GW3YMT-TR pinout, MIC5315-GW3YMT-TR application, or MIC5315-GW3YMT-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include dual independent enable control (EN1/EN2), /VSC2 voltage select functionality, bias-supply architecture (VBIAS), thermal shutdown protection, and compatibility with 1µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The MIC5315-GW3YMT-TR integrates two CMOS-based LDOs sharing a common VBIAS rail (2.5–5.5V) while maintaining independent VIN1/VIN2 inputs (1.7–VBIAS). Each regulator features fast transient response and internal current limiting (350–550mA) plus thermal shutdown.
Voltage select is implemented via active-low /VSC2 pin controlling LDO2's output between nominal (1.6V) and reduced (1.1V) levels; VBIAS powers the reference and control circuitry, enabling ultra-low dropout (85mV @ 300mA) and sub-1µA shutdown current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 300mA per LDO - supports powering core logic and I/O rails simultaneously without derating. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.7V to VBIAS - enables direct regulation from single-cell Li-ion or Li-poly batteries. |
| Dropout Voltage | 85mV @ 300mA - minimizes power loss and heat generation in low-VIN applications. |
| Output Accuracy | ±1% (typical), ±2% (over temp) - ensures stable voltage for precision analog and digital circuits. |
| VOUT1 / VOUT2 | Fixed 1.8V / selectable 1.6V or 1.1V - provides flexible power sequencing and standby-mode power savings. |
| Ground Current | 7µA (active, light load), <1µA (shutdown) - extends battery life in always-on or sleep-state devices. |
| PSRR | 65dB @ 1kHz - suppresses noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding VIN1/VIN2. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-pin 2mm × 2mm Thin MLF® (leadless, RoHS-compliant, NiPdAu finish, halogen-free mold compound).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN1 | LDO1 input supply | Accepts 1.7V–VBIAS; powers first 300mA output (VOUT1 = 1.8V). |
| VIN2 | LDO2 input supply | Independent 1.7V–VBIAS input for second regulator with voltage select. |
| VBIAS | Bias supply rail | 2.5–5.5V reference source for internal circuitry; enables ultra-low dropout operation. |
| EN1 | LDO1 enable (active-high) | CMOS-compatible logic input; disables LDO1 and reduces ground current to <1µA. |
| EN2 | LDO2 enable (active-high) | Independent control of second LDO; allows dynamic power gating of subsystems. |
| GND | Power ground | Common return path for both LDOs and bias circuitry; requires low-impedance PCB connection. |
| CBYP | Bypass capacitor node | Connects 0.01µF capacitor to ground to reduce output noise and improve PSRR. |
| /VSC2 | Voltage select control (active-low) | Logic high → VOUT2 = 1.6V; logic low → VOUT2 = 1.1V; enables low-power standby mode. |
| VOUT2 | LDO2 regulated output | Delivers 300mA at either 1.6V (active) or 1.1V (standby) depending on /VSC2 state. |
| VOUT1 | LDO1 regulated output | Fixed 1.8V, 300mA output; no voltage select; optimized for core logic or memory I/O. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent enable inputs (EN1/EN2) | Enables selective power-down of individual rails without affecting other subsystems. |
| Voltage-selectable VOUT2 (/VSC2) | Reduces LDO2 output from 1.6V to 1.1V in standby, cutting dynamic power by ~40% for connected peripherals. |
| Stable with 1µF ceramic output caps | Eliminates need for large, costly tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors; saves board space. |
| Ultra-low 85mV dropout @ 300mA | Permits operation with minimal headroom - e.g., 1.8V input → 1.8V output feasible under light load. |
| Thermal shutdown + current limit | Protects against overtemperature and short-circuit faults without external components. |
| Sub-1µA shutdown current | Extends shelf life and battery runtime in storage or deep-sleep modes (e.g., GPS tracking beacons). |
Applications
| Mobile Phones | GPS Navigation Devices |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6216D182MR-G | Single 300mA LDO, fixed 1.8V, no voltage select or dual-enable; 250mV dropout @ 300mA. | Lacks VOUT2 flexibility and independent control - suitable only for single-rail use cases. | Select only if system requires only one regulated rail and can tolerate higher dropout. |
| Ricoh RP512K181D-TR-F | Dual 300mA LDOs, fixed 1.8V/1.2V outputs, no voltage select; 120mV dropout @ 300mA; no /VSC2 pin. | Provides fixed dual outputs but cannot dynamically scale VOUT2 - limits power optimization in standby. | Choose when simplified BOM and guaranteed 1.2V rail are prioritized over adaptive voltage control. |
Compared with MIC5315-GW3YMT-TR, XC6216D182MR-G lacks dual regulation and voltage select, while RP512K181D-TR-F offers fixed dual outputs but no dynamic VOUT2 scaling - making MIC5315-GW3YMT-TR uniquely suited for systems requiring programmable low-power standby states.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage configuration of the MIC5315-GW3YMT-TR?
The MIC5315-GW3YMT-TR delivers a fixed 1.8V output on VOUT1 and a voltage-selectable output on VOUT2: 1.6V when /VSC2 is logic high, and 1.1V when /VSC2 is logic low. This dual-voltage capability is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Functional Characteristics section of the official Micrel datasheet (M9999-070208-A).
Does the MIC5315-GW3YMT-TR require external capacitors, and what values are specified?
Yes - the MIC5315-GW3YMT-TR requires a 1µF ceramic capacitor on each input (VIN1, VIN2), a 1µF ceramic capacitor on each output (VOUT1, VOUT2), and a 0.01µF capacitor on CBYP. These values are explicitly validated in the Electrical Characteristics table and Application Information section for stability, noise reduction, and PSRR performance.
What is the maximum junction temperature and thermal resistance for the MIC5315-GW3YMT-TR?
The MIC5315-GW3YMT-TR has a maximum junction temperature of +125°C and a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 80°C/W in the 2mm × 2mm Thin MLF® package. These values are specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Operating Ratings sections and are used to calculate safe ambient operating limits under load.
How does the /VSC2 pin function on the MIC5315-GW3YMT-TR, and what logic levels are required?
The /VSC2 pin is an active-low control input that selects between two VOUT2 levels: logic high (≥1.2V) sets VOUT2 = 1.6V; logic low (≤0.2V) sets VOUT2 = 1.1V. The enable thresholds and leakage current (<1µA) are defined in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Enable Input Voltage" and "Enable Input Current".
Is the MIC5315-GW3YMT-TR compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes - the MIC5315-GW3YMT-TR uses Micrel's Thin MLF® package, which is RoHS-compliant and rated for lead-free soldering with a peak reflow temperature of 260°C (3-second duration), as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section of the datasheet.
