Product details
Overview
MIC5327-1.8YMT from Micrel Inc. is a fixed 1.8V, 300mA low-dropout linear regulator with 24µA quiescent current, 180mV dropout at full load, and stable operation with 1µF ceramic output capacitors - designed for space-constrained battery-powered systems such as GPS receivers and portable media players.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5327-1.8YMT datasheet, MIC5327-1.8YMT pinout, MIC5327-1.8YMT application, or MIC5327-1.8YMT equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low IQ, thermal shutdown protection, TTL-compatible enable input, and compatibility with tiny 1.2mm × 1.6mm Thin MLF® packaging.
Technical Context
The MIC5327-1.8YMT implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with internal reference and error amplifier, delivering regulated 1.8V output across 2.3V–5.5V input range. It features active-high enable logic, ground-pin current tracking under load (24–35µA), and fast transient response enabled by high-bandwidth design.
Thermal protection is implemented via junction-sensing shutdown at 125°C, and current limiting activates at 400–950mA depending on input voltage. The device operates without minimum load requirement and maintains regulation down to zero load current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±2% over –40°C to +125°C; enables direct replacement of 1.8V logic rails without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA continuous; supports core power for microcontrollers and RF ICs in compact portable devices. |
| Quiescent Current | 24µA typical at 100µA load; extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and standby modes. |
| Dropout Voltage | 180mV at 300mA; allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) down to 1.98V input while sustaining 1.8V output. |
| PSRR | 60dB at 1kHz, 50dB at 20kHz; suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters in mixed-power-supply systems. |
| Output Noise | 90µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz); suitable for noise-sensitive analog circuitry like ADC references and RF synthesizers. |
| Enable Threshold | VIH = 1.2V min, VIL = 0.2V max; interfaces directly with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 4-pin 1.2mm × 1.6mm Thin MLF® (MT) with exposed EPAD thermally connected to GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VIN | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.3V–5.5V; requires 1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability. |
| 2 - GND | Power and signal reference | Common return path for input/output currents; EPAD must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance. |
| 3 - EN | Active-high enable control | Pulled high ≥1.2V to activate regulator; pulled low ≤0.2V to enter <1µA shutdown mode; must not float. |
| 4 - VOUT | Regulated output terminal | Delivers fixed 1.8V ±2%; stable with ≥1µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor; no minimum load required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 24µA operating current enables >1-year battery life in 10µA average-load IoT endpoints. |
| Small-footprint stabilization | Stable with 1µF ceramic output capacitor only - eliminates need for large tantalum or electrolytic bulk caps. |
| Robust fault protection | Integrated thermal shutdown and current limit prevent damage during overload or ambient temperature excursions. |
| TTL-compatible enable | Direct interface with 1.8V/3.3V microcontroller GPIO pins without external pull-ups or level shifters. |
| Green RoHS-compliant package | Thin MLF® with NiPdAu lead finish and halogen-free mold compound meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 3. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1802E/TT | 250mA rated, 1.6µA IQ, SOT-23-5 package, no enable pin | Lacks active enable; requires external logic for shutdown control | Preferred where ultra-low IQ dominates over enable functionality and board area permits SOT-23 footprint |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MIC5327-1.8YMT?
The MIC5327-1.8YMT has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +6V, but its specified operating range is 2.3V to 5.5V. Operation above 5.5V risks permanent damage even if within the absolute maximum limit, and the device is not characterized or guaranteed beyond 5.5V per its datasheet operating ratings.
Does the MIC5327-1.8YMT require an external resistor divider for output voltage setting?
No, the MIC5327-1.8YMT is a fixed-output LDO with internally trimmed 1.8V regulation. It does not support adjustable output voltages and contains no feedback pin - eliminating the need for external resistors and simplifying layout for cost-sensitive portable designs.
Can the MIC5327-1.8YMT operate without an output capacitor?
No, the MIC5327-1.8YMT requires a minimum 1µF ceramic output capacitor for stability, as confirmed in the Applications Information section. Omitting this capacitor will cause oscillation or regulation failure; X5R or X7R dielectric types are recommended for temperature stability.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the MIC5327-1.8YMT package?
The MIC5327-1.8YMT in its 4-pin 1.2mm × 1.6mm Thin MLF® package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 173°C/W, measured under standard JEDEC test conditions. Effective thermal performance depends on proper EPAD soldering to a PCB ground plane with adequate copper area.
Is the MIC5327-1.8YMT compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the MIC5327-1.8YMT uses a GREEN RoHS-compliant Thin MLF® package with NiPdAu lead finish and halogen-free mold compound, qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles up to 260°C peak temperature for 5 seconds, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
