Product details
Overview
MIC5317-1.5YM5-TR from Microchip Technology is a high-performance 150 mA low-dropout linear regulator delivering a fixed 1.5 V output, operating from 2.5 V to 6.0 V input, with 2% initial output voltage accuracy, 155 mV dropout at full load, and stable operation using only 1 μF ceramic output capacitance. It serves as a compact, low-noise power supply for space-constrained portable electronics requiring precise, efficient voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5317-1.5YM5-TR datasheet, MIC5317-1.5YM5-TR pinout, MIC5317-1.5YM5-TR application, or MIC5317-1.5YM5-TR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping, real-world application scenarios, and validated alternative parts for design-in decisions in battery-powered and USB-powered systems.
Technical Context
The MIC5317-1.5YM5-TR implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with active-high enable control, thermal shutdown, and foldback current limiting. Its internal reference and error amplifier deliver tight line/load regulation (0.3% line, 25 mV load) across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
It achieves high PSRR (70 dB typical at DC–1 kHz, 65 dB up to 10 kHz) and ultra-low quiescent current (29 μA typical), enabling stable operation under dynamic load transients while maintaining efficiency in always-on subsystems such as memory keep-alive circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5 V ±2% - ensures compatibility with 1.5 V logic rails and low-voltage sensors without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA - supports moderate-power peripherals like USB PHYs, Wi-Fi modules, and camera ISPs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 155 mV @ 150 mA - enables regulation from 1.65 V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or 2xAA battery operation. |
| Quiescent Current | 29 μA - minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed applications such as RTC or SRAM retention. |
| PSRR | 70 dB @ DC–1 kHz - suppresses ripple from noisy switching supplies feeding downstream analog or RF circuitry. |
| Stability | Stable with ≥1 μF ceramic output capacitor - eliminates need for large tantalum or electrolytic capacitors, reducing board area and cost. |
| Enable Threshold | Logic-high >1.2 V, logic-low <0.2 V - compatible with standard 1.8 V/3.3 V GPIOs without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-Lead SOT-23 (M5), RoHS-compliant, 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.1 mm body, exposed pad not present (unlike UDFN variant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Input Supply | Accepts 2.5 V–6.0 V unregulated input; requires 1 μF ceramic bypass capacitor to ground. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for load and quiescent current; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 3 (EN) | Enable Input | Active-high digital control: drives output ON when >1.2 V, OFF when <0.2 V; must not float. |
| 4 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unconnected; no electrical function; may be left unconnected or tied to GND for mechanical stability. |
| 5 (VOUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers stable 1.5 V ±2%; requires ≥1 μF ceramic output capacitor directly at pin for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small footprint | SOT-23-5 package occupies only 4.64 mm² PCB area - ideal for USB dongles and compact IoT nodes. |
| Zero-off mode | Shutdown current ≤1 μA - enables true power gating for energy harvesting or long-life battery systems. |
| High transient response | Minimal output voltage deviation during 100 mA load steps - maintains clean supply for noise-sensitive analog blocks. |
| Thermal & current protection | Integrated thermal shutdown and 200–550 mA current limit - prevents damage during overload or ambient overheating. |
| Low-noise operation | 200 μVRMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz) - suitable for powering ADC references and RF front-end bias rails. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1502E/TT | 150 mA max, 1.5 V fixed, 6 μA IQ, but only 100 mV dropout @ 250 mA - lower IQ but higher dropout at full load. | Limited to lower-temperature industrial use (–40°C to +125°C same); lacks thermal shutdown flag output. | Prefer when ultra-low quiescent current dominates over transient performance and fault reporting. |
| Torex XC6206P152MR-G | 150 mA max, 1.5 V fixed, 1.0 μF min COUT, but 250 mV dropout @ 150 mA and 120 μA IQ - higher dropout and quiescent current. | Rated only to +85°C ambient; no enable pin - unsuitable for power-gated subsystems. | Consider only for cost-sensitive, non-temperature-extreme consumer applications where enable control is unnecessary. |
Compared with MCP1700T-1502E/TT and XC6206P152MR-G, the MIC5317-1.5YM5-TR delivers superior transient response, integrated thermal shutdown, and tighter output accuracy (±2% vs. ±3%), making it preferred for mission-critical portable electronics requiring robustness and precision.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MIC5317-1.5YM5-TR?
The MIC5317-1.5YM5-TR has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +7 V. However, its specified operating range is +2.5 V to +6.0 V. Exceeding 6.0 V during normal operation risks violating functional specifications and may accelerate parametric drift or reduce long-term reliability, even if within absolute maximum limits.
Does the MIC5317-1.5YM5-TR require an external pull-up resistor on the EN pin?
No, the MIC5317-1.5YM5-TR does not require an external pull-up resistor on the EN pin. Its enable input uses CMOS-compatible thresholds (logic high >1.2 V, logic low <0.2 V) and draws only 0.01–1 μA. The EN pin must be actively driven - floating is prohibited - but a dedicated pull-up is unnecessary if controlled by a GPIO or open-drain driver with defined states.
Can the MIC5317-1.5YM5-TR operate stably with no load?
Yes, the MIC5317-1.5YM5-TR remains stable and in regulation with zero load current. This no-load stability is explicitly confirmed in the datasheet and is essential for applications like CMOS RAM keep-alive circuits, where the regulator must maintain 1.5 V output even when downstream circuitry is fully powered down.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the MIC5317-1.5YM5-TR in its SOT-23-5 package?
The MIC5317-1.5YM5-TR in the SOT-23-5 (M5) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 253°C/W, as specified in the datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions; actual θJA improves with PCB copper area, thermal vias, and airflow.
Is the MIC5317-1.5YM5-TR suitable for RF transmitter power supply applications?
No, the MIC5317-1.5YM5-TR is explicitly stated in the datasheet as "not suitable for RF transmitter systems." While it offers high PSRR and low noise, its internal architecture and lack of RF-specific shielding or isolation make it inappropriate for powering RF power amplifiers or high-power transmitters where stringent spectral purity and EMI immunity are required.
