Product details
Overview
MIC5370-M4YMT-TR from Micrel is a dual low-dropout linear regulator IC delivering two independent 150mA outputs at fixed 2.8V and 1.2V, housed in a 6-pin 1.6mm × 1.6mm Thin MLF® package. It features ±2% initial output accuracy, 155mV dropout at full load, and 32µA quiescent current per LDO-optimized for camera phone core/DSP power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5370-M4YMT-TR datasheet, MIC5370-M4YMT-TR pinout, MIC5370-M4YMT-TR application, or MIC5370-M4YMT-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail voltage pairing, zero-off-mode shutdown (0.05µA), stability with 1µF ceramic capacitors, and thermal performance in space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The MIC5370-M4YMT-TR integrates two CMOS-based LDOs sharing a common input (VIN) and ground (GND), each controlled by dedicated active-high enable pins (EN1, EN2). Its architecture supports independent regulation without cross-coupling, enabling selective power sequencing for multi-voltage SoC subsystems.
Each LDO employs internal reference and error amplification to maintain regulation across –40°C to +125°C, with line regulation of 0.02%/V and load regulation of 0.3% over 100µA–150mA. PSRR reaches 60dB at 1kHz, and output noise is 200µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltages | 2.8V (VOUT1) and 1.2V (VOUT2) - fixed, non-adjustable rails for baseband processor and memory I/O domains |
| Max Output Current | 150mA per LDO - sufficient for digital core logic and low-power analog peripherals |
| Dropout Voltage | 155mV at 150mA - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) while maintaining 2.8V rail |
| Quiescent Current | 32µA per LDO (typ.) - minimizes battery drain during standby in always-on sensor modules |
| Accuracy | ±2% initial, ±3% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable voltage margining for 1.2V DDR I/O and 2.8V camera ISP |
| PSRR | 60dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from PMIC buck converters feeding VIN |
| Stability | Guaranteed with ≥1µF X5R/X7R ceramic output capacitors - eliminates need for bulk electrolytics in thin-profile handsets |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin 1.6mm × 1.6mm Thin MLF® (MT) with exposed thermal pad (internally connected to GND). RoHS-compliant, halogen-free mold compound, NiPdAu lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VIN | Supply Input | Common input for both LDOs; accepts 2.5V–5.5V; requires 1µF ceramic bypass to GND |
| 2 - GND | Ground Reference | Power and signal return; connects internally to EPAD for thermal conduction |
| 3 - EN2 | Enable Input (LDO2) | Active-high logic control for 1.2V output; must not float; VIH ≥ 1.2V, VIL ≤ 0.2V |
| 4 - EN1 | Enable Input (LDO1) | Active-high logic control for 2.8V output; independent sequencing from EN2 |
| 5 - VOUT2 | LDO2 Output | Regulated 1.2V supply; stable with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor; no auto-discharge (MIC5370 variant) |
| 6 - VOUT1 | LDO1 Output | Regulated 2.8V supply; stable with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor; no auto-discharge (MIC5370 variant) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent enable inputs | EN1/EN2 allow staggered power-up of 2.8V core and 1.2V I/O rails-critical for SoC reset timing compliance |
| Zero-off-mode shutdown | 0.05µA total ground current when both EN pins are low-enables ultra-low-power deep-sleep states |
| Thermal and current protection | Internal thermal shutdown and 200–550mA current limit per LDO prevent damage during short-circuit or overload |
| Low-noise regulation | 200µVRMS output noise (10Hz–100kHz) avoids clock jitter in camera image signal processors |
| Small-footprint packaging | 1.6mm × 1.6mm Thin MLF® saves >60% board area vs. SOT-23 dual-LDO alternatives-essential for slim mobile PCBs |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIC5371-M4YMT-TR | Same pinout and electrical specs, but adds auto-discharge (30Ω NFET) on both outputs when disabled | Required where rapid output discharge prevents latch-up in hot-plug or reset scenarios | Select MIC5371-M4YMT-TR only if output capacitor discharge is mandatory; otherwise MIC5370-M4YMT-TR offers lower cost and identical regulation performance |
| TPL720F12-28QDSR | 2.8V/1.2V dual-LDO in 1.6mm × 1.6mm WSON; 250mA per channel; 200mV dropout; 50µA IQ | Higher current capability suits next-gen processors; larger dropout limits low-VIN operation | Choose TPL720F12-28QDSR for future-proofing with 250mA loads; MIC5370-M4YMT-TR remains optimal for legacy 150mA designs with tighter dropout constraints |
Compared with MIC5371-M4YMT-TR, the MIC5370-M4YMT-TR omits auto-discharge-reducing complexity and cost where fast discharge isn't required. Versus TPL720F12-28QDSR, it delivers lower dropout and quiescent current but at reduced output current, making it ideal for established 150mA portable platforms.

FAQ
What output voltages does the MIC5370-M4YMT-TR provide?
The MIC5370-M4YMT-TR provides fixed 2.8V on VOUT1 and 1.2V on VOUT2. These values are laser-trimmed during manufacturing and cannot be adjusted externally. The marking code "M4" corresponds specifically to this 2.8V/1.2V combination, verified in Micrel's official ordering information table.
Does the MIC5370-M4YMT-TR include auto-discharge functionality?
No, the MIC5370-M4YMT-TR does not include auto-discharge. That feature is exclusive to the MIC5371 variant (e.g., MIC5371-M4YMT-TR), which integrates a 30Ω NFET to discharge output capacitors when disabled. The MIC5370-M4YMT-TR enters zero-current shutdown but leaves outputs floating.
What is the minimum input voltage required for the MIC5370-M4YMT-TR to regulate at full load?
To maintain regulation at 150mA load on the 2.8V rail, the MIC5370-M4YMT-TR requires VIN ≥ 2.955V (2.8V + 155mV dropout). For the 1.2V rail, VIN ≥ 1.355V suffices-but system design must satisfy the higher 2.8V rail requirement. The device operates down to 2.5V input across its full temperature range.
Can the MIC5370-M4YMT-TR operate without load on either output?
Yes, the MIC5370-M4YMT-TR remains stable and in regulation with no load on either VOUT1 or VOUT2. This is confirmed in the Application Information section, which explicitly states "unlike many other voltage regulators, the MIC5370/1 will remain stable and in regulation with no load"-a key advantage for CMOS RAM keep-alive circuits.
What capacitor types are recommended for input and output use with the MIC5370-M4YMT-TR?
Micrel specifies 1µF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitors for both input and output. Y5V and Z5U dielectrics are explicitly discouraged due to excessive capacitance loss over temperature. The design is optimized for 1µF; larger values do not improve stability or transient response and may degrade startup behavior.
