Product details
Overview
MIC5366-2.7YC5-TR from Micrel is a fixed-output 2.7V, 150mA low-dropout linear regulator in SC-70-5 package with auto-discharge functionality activated on enable pin deactivation. It delivers ±2% initial output accuracy, 155mV dropout at full load, and 29µA quiescent current-enabling stable power for ultra-low-power portable systems such as GPS receivers and handheld PMPs.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5366-2.7YC5-TR datasheet, MIC5366-2.7YC5-TR pinout, MIC5366-2.7YC5-TR application, or MIC5366-2.7YC5-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.5V–5.5V input range, zero-off-mode shutdown current (<1µA), high PSRR (70dB), and compatibility with 1µF ceramic output capacitors without external compensation.
Technical Context
The MIC5366-2.7YC5-TR integrates a CMOS-based control circuit with active-high enable logic and an internal NFET auto-discharge path tied to the VOUT pin. Its architecture supports fast turn-on time (50–125µs) and maintains regulation down to zero load while rejecting supply ripple up to 10kHz.
It operates across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and includes thermal shutdown and foldback current limiting. The SC-70-5 package provides θJA = 256.5°C/W, enabling 150mA continuous output under defined ambient conditions when VIN ≤ 5.5V and dropout margin ≥155mV.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.7V ±2% initial accuracy ensures precise biasing for 2.7V I/O domains or low-voltage microcontrollers. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA guaranteed-supports power delivery to single-core MCUs, RF transceivers, or sensor signal chains. |
| Dropout Voltage | 155mV @ 150mA-enables operation from 2.855V minimum input, critical for battery-powered systems near end-of-life. |
| Quiescent Current | 29µA typical-minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems like real-time clocks or wake-up controllers. |
| PSRR | 70dB @ DC–1kHz-suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters in mixed-signal PCB layouts. |
| Enable Threshold | Logic high ≥1.2V, logic low ≤0.2V-compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting. |
| Auto-Discharge | Active when EN = low; 30Ω NFET discharges VOUT-prevents residual voltage hold-up in power sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
SC-70-5 package: 1.25mm × 1.75mm footprint, 0.65mm pitch, exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin 1 = VIN, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = EN, Pin 4 = VOUT, Pin 5 = NC (no internal connection).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Supply Input | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V input; requires 1µF X5R/X7R ceramic decoupling capacitor to ground for stability. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for load and quiescent current; must connect directly to low-impedance ground plane. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable Control | CMOS-compatible active-high input; floating state prohibited-must be pulled high via resistor or driven by host MCU GPIO. |
| VOUT (Pin 4) | Regulated Output | Delivers fixed 2.7V; connects to 1µF ceramic output capacitor and load; auto-discharged when EN = low. |
| NC (Pin 5) | No Connect | Internally unconnected; no electrical function-may remain unconnected or tied to GND for mechanical stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-Discharge Circuit | 30Ω internal NFET actively pulls VOUT to GND during shutdown-eliminates need for external bleed resistors in power-gated rails. |
| Ultra-Low Quiescent Current | 29µA typical operating current enables >1-year battery life in coin-cell–powered devices at 100µA average load. |
| Stable with 1µF Ceramic Cap | No ESR requirements or external compensation needed-reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. legacy LDOs requiring 10µF tantalum. |
| High PSRR at Low Frequencies | 70dB rejection up to 1kHz-preserves analog sensor signal integrity in proximity to noisy digital supplies. |
| Thermal & Current Protection | Integrated foldback current limit and thermal shutdown prevent damage during overload or poor heatsinking. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIC5365-2.7YC5-TR | No auto-discharge; identical pinout, specs, and package-same footprint but lacks VOUT discharge path. | Suitable where rapid VOUT decay is unnecessary; lower cost where discharge not required. | Select when system-level power sequencing handles VOUT discharge externally. |
| Torex XC6206P272MR-G | 2.7V fixed, 150mA, 120mV dropout @ 100mA, 1µA IQ, no enable pin-requires external ON/OFF control. | Lacks enable and auto-discharge; used in simpler, non-sequenced power rails. | Choose for ultra-low-IQ designs without enable control or discharge needs. |
Compared with MIC5365-2.7YC5-TR, the MIC5366-2.7YC5-TR adds essential auto-discharge for controlled power-down in sequenced systems, while the XC6206P272MR-G trades enable functionality for lower quiescent current-making each optimal for distinct power architecture priorities.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MIC5366-2.7YC5-TR?
The MIC5366-2.7YC5-TR has an absolute maximum input voltage of 6V, but its specified operating input range is 2.5V to 5.5V. Operation above 5.5V risks permanent damage even if within absolute max limits, and performance is only guaranteed within the 2.5V–5.5V range per the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table. The MIC5366-2.7YC5-TR must be used with input filtering and clamping if exposed to transient overvoltage events.
Does the MIC5366-2.7YC5-TR require an external pull-up resistor on the EN pin?
Yes-the EN pin of the MIC5366-2.7YC5-TR is CMOS-compatible and must not be left floating. A pull-up resistor to VIN (typically 100kΩ–1MΩ) ensures reliable startup and prevents indeterminate output states. The MIC5366-2.7YC5-TR draws only 0.01–1µA through EN, so the resistor introduces negligible current loss. Direct GPIO drive from 1.8V or 3.3V logic is also valid per the enable threshold specification.
Can the MIC5366-2.7YC5-TR operate stably with no load connected to VOUT?
Yes-the MIC5366-2.7YC5-TR remains stable and in regulation with zero load, a feature explicitly validated in the Application Information section. This makes it suitable for CMOS RAM keep-alive circuits and other ultra-low-power standby functions where load current drops to 0µA. No minimum load requirement exists, unlike many older LDO architectures.
What is the purpose of the NC pin (Pin 5) on the MIC5366-2.7YC5-TR SC-70-5 package?
The NC (No Connect) pin on the MIC5366-2.7YC5-TR is internally unconnected and serves no electrical function. It may be left unconnected or tied to GND solely for mechanical reinforcement of the SC-70-5 package during reflow soldering. Connecting it to any voltage rail or signal violates the pin description and risks undefined behavior, as confirmed in the Pin Description table on page 5 of the datasheet.
How does the auto-discharge feature of the MIC5366-2.7YC5-TR behave during shutdown?
When the EN pin of the MIC5366-2.7YC5-TR is driven low, the internal 30Ω NFET connects VOUT to GND, actively discharging the output capacitor. This occurs only during shutdown-not during normal operation-and reduces VOUT to <100mV within milliseconds depending on COUT value. The MIC5366-2.7YC5-TR's auto-discharge eliminates external discharge circuitry, simplifying power sequencing in multi-rail systems.
