Product details
Overview
MIC5317-1.5YM5-T5 from Microchip Technology is a high-performance 150 mA low-dropout (LDO) regulator in a 5-lead SOT23 package, delivering a fixed 1.5 V output with ±2% initial accuracy across –40°C to +125°C. It operates from 2.5 V to 6 V input, achieves 155 mV dropout at full load, and maintains stability with only 1 μF ceramic output capacitance-ideal for space-constrained USB dongles and battery-powered digital cameras.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5317-1.5YM5-T5 datasheet, MIC5317-1.5YM5-T5 pinout, MIC5317-1.5YM5-T5 application, or MIC5317-1.5YM5-T5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low 29 μA quiescent current, 70 dB PSRR at 1 kHz, thermal shutdown protection, and active-high enable functionality enabling zero-off-mode current draw.
Technical Context
The MIC5317-1.5YM5-T5 integrates a CMOS-based LDO core with precision bandgap reference and internal current limiting. Its architecture supports fast load transient response and stable regulation down to no-load conditions-critical for CMOS RAM keep-alive circuits.
It features an active-high enable input (VEN ≥ 1.2 V for ON), ground pin current of 29 μA typical at zero load, and thermal shutdown triggered above +125°C junction temperature. The device is not suitable for RF transmitter systems per official specification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5 V ±2% (25°C), ±3% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable biasing of 1.5 V logic and analog subsystems. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, or interface ICs in portable equipment. |
| Dropout Voltage | 155 mV @ 150 mA - enables operation from 2.5 V input while maintaining 1.5 V output, supporting single-cell Li-ion or 3.3 V rail derivation. |
| Quiescent Current | 29 μA typical - minimizes standby power loss in always-on applications like real-time clocks or sensor wake-up circuits. |
| PSRR | 70 dB @ 1 kHz - suppresses ripple from noisy DC/DC converters or shared power rails, preserving signal integrity in mixed-signal designs. |
| Operating Input Range | 2.5 V to 6.0 V - compatible with USB 5 V, 3.3 V LDO inputs, and 6 V AC adapters without external pre-regulation. |
| Enable Threshold | VIL ≤ 0.2 V / VIH ≥ 1.2 V - compatible with standard CMOS logic levels and allows direct interfacing with MCU GPIOs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-Lead SOT-23 (M5), RoHS-compliant, 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm footprint, exposed pad (EP) connected to GND for thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.5–6 V; requires 1 μF ceramic input capacitor to ground for stability and high-frequency noise filtering. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for input/output currents and enable logic; must be low-impedance for PSRR and thermal performance. |
| 3 (EN) | Active-high enable control | Pull ≥1.2 V to enable output; pull ≤0.2 V to enter zero-off-mode (<1 μA shutdown current); must never float. |
| 4 (VOUT) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 1.5 V ±2%; requires 1 μF ceramic output capacitor (X5R/X7R) for guaranteed stability. |
| 5 (NC) | No-connect terminal | Not internally bonded; electrically isolated-must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling or reliability risk. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small SOT23-5 package | 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm footprint with exposed thermal pad - reduces PCB area by >75% vs. SC-70, enabling dense portable layouts. |
| Low-noise regulation | 200 μVRMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz) - preserves SNR in ADC references, audio codecs, and RF receiver bias rails. |
| Zero-off-mode shutdown | <1 μA shutdown current - eliminates battery drain in sleep states of IoT edge nodes and wearable devices. |
| Robust fault protection | Thermal shutdown + foldback current limit (200–550 mA) - prevents damage during short-circuit or overload events without external components. |
| Wide temperature operation | –40°C to +125°C junction range - qualified for industrial, automotive under-hood, and outdoor embedded applications. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MIC5317-1.5YM5-T5?
The MIC5317-1.5YM5-T5 has an absolute maximum input voltage of +7 V, but its specified operating range is +2.5 V to +6.0 V. Exceeding 6 V may cause permanent damage or unpredictable behavior. For reliable operation in MIC5317-1.5YM5-T5 designs, maintain VIN within 2.5–6.0 V and ensure adequate derating for thermal margin at high ambient temperatures.
Does the MIC5317-1.5YM5-T5 require an external capacitor on the EN pin?
No, the MIC5317-1.5YM5-T5 does not require an external capacitor on the EN pin. Its enable input uses CMOS-level logic with low leakage (≤1 μA), and the datasheet explicitly warns against leaving EN floating. A pull-down resistor to GND (e.g., 100 kΩ) is recommended for default-off behavior, but no bypass or filtering capacitor is needed or specified for MIC5317-1.5YM5-T5.
Can the MIC5317-1.5YM5-T5 be used with Y5V ceramic capacitors?
No-the MIC5317-1.5YM5-T5 is not recommended for use with Y5V dielectric capacitors. Per Microchip's application note, Y5V types lose up to 60% capacitance over temperature, risking instability. X5R or X7R ceramics (e.g., 1 μF, 10 V, 0402) are required for both input and output to guarantee stability across –40°C to +125°C in MIC5317-1.5YM5-T5 applications.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the MIC5317-1.5YM5-T5 package?
The MIC5317-1.5YM5-T5 uses the 5-lead SOT23 (M5) package, which has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 253°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions. This value assumes a 2-layer PCB with 1 in² copper pour connected to the EP. Actual θJA improves with enhanced heatsinking-critical for sustaining 150 mA at high ambient temperatures in MIC5317-1.5YM5-T5 deployments.
Is the MIC5317-1.5YM5-T5 suitable for RF transmitter power rails?
No-the MIC5317-1.5YM5-T5 is explicitly stated as "not suitable for RF transmitter systems" in the official datasheet (Section 4.0). While it offers high PSRR and low noise, its internal architecture and lack of RF-specific qualification make it inappropriate for powering PA stages or synthesizer VCOs. Use dedicated RF LDOs or DC/DC converters for MIC5317-1.5YM5-T5-replaced RF transmitter rails.
