Product details
Overview
MIC5355-SCYMME from Micrel is a dual-channel, micropower, low-dropout linear regulator delivering independent 500mA outputs at fixed 3.3V and 1.0V. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input, draws only 70μA quiescent current with both outputs enabled, achieves 350mV dropout at full load, and stabilizes with just 2.2µF ceramic output capacitors-optimized for space-constrained battery-powered portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5355-SCYMME datasheet, MIC5355-SCYMME pinout, MIC5355-SCYMME application, or MIC5355-SCYMME equivalent, key selection considerations include dual-output voltage pairing, ultra-low shutdown current (<1μA), independent enable control, thermal performance in the 8-pin ePad MSOP package, and µCap stability without external compensation.
Technical Context
The MIC5355-SCYMME integrates two fully independent LDO regulators sharing only input and ground connections, each with active-high logic-controlled enable (EN1/EN2) and internal current/thermal limiting. Its architecture supports simultaneous or staggered power-up sequencing via separate enables and maintains regulation down to zero load.
It employs CMOS-based pass devices and proprietary error amplifiers optimized for fast line/load transient response-achieving <100µs turn-on time and >60dB ripple rejection at 1kHz-while requiring no external compensation due to µCap compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, 3.3V rail, or USB-powered systems without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltages | 3.3V (LDO1) / 1.0V (LDO2) - fixed, factory-trimmed pair for core I/O domain separation in portable SoC applications. |
| Max Output Current | 500mA per channel - sufficient to power baseband processors, memory interfaces, or sensor subsystems. |
| Quiescent Current | 70μA (both LDOs enabled) - enables multi-week standby in always-on IoT endpoints. |
| Dropout Voltage | 350mV at 500mA - allows operation with minimal headroom (e.g., 3.3V out from 3.6V Li-ion). |
| Output Capacitor | 2.2µF ceramic minimum - eliminates need for tantalum or large electrolytics; reduces BOM count and board area. |
| Shutdown Current | <1μA typical - ensures negligible battery drain during deep sleep modes. |
| Output Accuracy | ±2% over temperature - meets tight tolerance requirements for digital core and analog peripheral rails. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin ePad MSOP (MME) with exposed thermal pad (HSPAD) - thermally enhanced for 64.4°C/W junction-to-ambient resistance; requires PCB thermal vias connected to ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Supply Input | Common input for both LDOs; must be decoupled with ≥2.2µF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| GND | Ground Reference | System ground return; connects to HSPAD for optimal thermal and electrical performance. |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 3 and 6 are unconnected internally - must remain unpopulated or floating (no routing). |
| EN2 | LDO2 Enable | Active-high logic input controlling 1.0V output; 0.2V max logic low threshold ensures robust noise immunity. |
| EN1 | LDO1 Enable | Active-high logic input controlling 3.3V output; independent of EN2 for flexible power sequencing. |
| VOUT2 | LDO2 Output | Regulated 1.0V supply; stable with 2.2µF ceramic capacitor; no load required for regulation. |
| VOUT1 | LDO1 Output | Regulated 3.3V supply; supports high-current digital I/O domains while maintaining low noise. |
| HSPAD | Heatsink Pad | Exposed copper pad on underside - must be soldered to solid GND plane with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3–0.35mm dia) for thermal management. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| µCap Stability | Operates stably with 2.2µF ceramic output capacitors - eliminates ESR requirements and simplifies layout. |
| Independent Enables | Separate EN1/EN2 pins allow asymmetric power-up/down sequencing - critical for SoC boot order compliance. |
| Zero-Load Regulation | Maintains regulation with no output load - avoids instability issues common in light-load LDOs. |
| Thermal Protection | Integrated thermal shutdown prevents damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Low-Noise Operation | 146µVRMS output noise (10Hz–100kHz) - suitable for noise-sensitive analog circuits and RF front-ends. |
| ESD Robustness | Human Body Model rated - handling precautions recommended but no external protection needed in standard environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIC5355-S4YMME | Same package and architecture, but outputs 3.3V/1.2V instead of 3.3V/1.0V. | Suitable where 1.2V core rail is required (e.g., newer ARM Cortex-A cores), not 1.0V. | Select when system SoC specifies 1.2V core voltage; pinout and enable behavior identical. |
| MIC5356-SCYMME | Identical voltage outputs (3.3V/1.0V) and package, but adds auto-discharge circuit (30Ω FET) on both outputs. | Required where rapid output discharge during shutdown is mandatory (e.g., FPGA configuration retention). | Choose MIC5356-SCYMME if active discharge is needed; otherwise MIC5355-SCYMME offers lower cost and same regulation performance. |
Compared with MIC5355-S4YMME, MIC5355-SCYMME provides tighter alignment with 1.0V core logic standards; compared with MIC5356-SCYMME, it omits auto-discharge to reduce complexity and cost where discharge is handled externally or unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the output voltage configuration of the MIC5355-SCYMME?
The MIC5355-SCYMME delivers fixed, factory-trimmed output voltages of 3.3V on VOUT1 and 1.0V on VOUT2. These values are specified in the Ordering Information table and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics section under "Voltage(2)" as "3.3V/1.0V". No external feedback resistors are used-the outputs are non-adjustable and optimized for low-noise, low-dropout operation in portable systems.
Does the MIC5355-SCYMME include an auto-discharge feature?
No, the MIC5355-SCYMME does not include an auto-discharge feature. That function is exclusive to the MIC5356 variant (e.g., MIC5356-SCYMME), which integrates a 30Ω internal discharge FET activated upon enable pin deactivation. The MIC5355-SCYMME relies on external discharge paths or natural load decay, making it suitable for applications where controlled discharge is not required.
What is the minimum output capacitance required for stable operation of the MIC5355-SCYMME?
The MIC5355-SCYMME requires a minimum of 2.2µF ceramic output capacitance per channel for guaranteed stability across temperature and load conditions. This is explicitly stated in the General Description and Application Information sections. X5R or X7R dielectric types are recommended; Y5V is discouraged due to excessive capacitance loss over temperature.
Can the MIC5355-SCYMME operate with no load connected to either output?
Yes, the MIC5355-SCYMME remains stable and in regulation with zero load on either or both outputs. This "no-load stability" is a documented design feature highlighted in the Application Information section and distinguishes it from many legacy LDOs that require minimum load resistors to prevent oscillation or dropout.
What thermal management is required for the MIC5355-SCYMME in continuous 500mA operation?
For continuous 500mA per channel at maximum ambient temperature, the MIC5355-SCYMME requires the 8-pin ePad MSOP's exposed thermal pad (HSPAD) to be soldered to a solid ground plane with at least four thermal vias (0.3–0.35mm diameter) connecting to inner/inner-layer ground planes. With this layout, its θJA is 64.4°C/W, enabling safe operation up to ~70°C ambient at full load-as calculated in the Thermal Considerations section using PD = (VIN − VOUT1)·IOUT1 + (VIN − VOUT2)·IOUT2.
