Product details
Overview
MIC5377YMT-TR from Microchip Technology is an adjustable-output, 150 mA low-dropout linear regulator in an 8-lead 1.2 mm × 1.2 mm Thin QFN package. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input, delivers ±2% initial output accuracy, features 120 mV dropout at 150 mA, and includes active-high enable with auto-discharge circuitry for portable power management in GPS modules and handheld devices.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5377YMT-TR datasheet, MIC5377YMT-TR pinout, MIC5377YMT-TR application, or MIC5377YMT-TR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed LDO performance parameters, and real-world use cases for battery-powered embedded systems requiring stable, low-quiescent-current regulation.
Technical Context
The MIC5377YMT-TR implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with internal reference (1.0 V ±3%), adjustable feedback via external resistor divider on the ADJ pin, and active-high enable logic that places the device into sub-1 µA shutdown current state. Its stability is guaranteed with ≥1 µF ceramic output capacitors and supports no-load regulation - critical for RAM keep-alive circuits.
Thermal protection includes thermal shutdown and foldback current limiting (200–550 mA), while transient response is optimized for fast load steps (1 mA to 150 mA) and line changes (e.g., 3.4V to 4.4V). The exposed pad (ePAD) is internally connected to GND and must be soldered for thermal and electrical integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 150 mA guaranteed continuous output - sufficient for powering RF front-ends or microcontroller cores in portable designs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 120 mV at 150 mA - enables operation with minimal VIN–VOUT headroom, extending battery life in 3.3V/2.8V systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 29 µA typical - ensures ultra-low standby power consumption during system sleep modes. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, Li-poly, or dual-cell alkaline/battery stacks. |
| Output Accuracy | ±2% initial tolerance - supports tight voltage margins for sensitive analog or mixed-signal ICs. |
| Enable Threshold | Logic high ≥1.2 V, logic low ≤0.2 V - interfaces directly with 1.8V/3.3V GPIO without level-shifting. |
| PSRR | 60 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from DC-DC converters upstream of the LDO. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C junction - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood applications. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead 1.2 mm × 1.2 mm Thin QFN (TQFN-8, MT suffix), RoHS-compliant, with exposed thermal pad (ePAD) internally tied to GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (EN) | Enable input | Active-high digital control; must be pulled high (>1.2 V) to activate regulator; floating state is undefined and prohibited. |
| 2 (VIN) | Supply input | Main power rail input; requires ≥1 µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to ground for stability. |
| 3 (VOUT) | Regulated output | Adjustable output node; voltage set by external resistor divider between VOUT, ADJ, and GND. |
| 4, 5, 6, 8 (GND) | Ground terminals | Four dedicated GND pins plus ePAD provide low-impedance return path and thermal conduction. |
| 7 (ADJ) | Feedback reference input | Connects to resistor divider midpoint; bias current <0.01 µA enables high-impedance feedback networks. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable Output Range | 1.0 V to 5.0 V (set via external resistors) - supports diverse core/logic voltage requirements across product variants. |
| Auto-Discharge Circuit | 30 Ω NFET discharge path activated when EN = low - rapidly drains output capacitance to prevent residual voltage hold-up. |
| No-Load Stability | Stable regulation with zero load current - eliminates need for bleed resistors in always-on backup rails. |
| Low-Noise Operation | 200 µVRMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz) - suitable for powering ADCs, RF synthesizers, and precision analog sensors. |
| Thermal Robustness | Thermal shutdown + current limit protection - prevents damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable-output LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIC5378YMT-TR | Includes integrated output discharge circuit (30 Ω NFET); otherwise identical specs and pinout. | Preferred where rapid VOUT discharge after shutdown is required (e.g., safety-critical reset sequencing). | Select MIC5378YMT-TR if auto-discharge is mandatory; MIC5377YMT-TR omits this feature to reduce cost and complexity. |
| TPL7407LPGEDR | 7-channel high-side driver with integrated LDO-like regulation; not a standalone LDO - lacks adjustable output and low-noise design. | Suitable only for driving LEDs or logic-level loads, not for powering sensitive analog or RF circuits. | Not a functional replacement; use only in multi-load switching applications where integrated drivers are needed alongside regulation. |
Compared with MIC5378YMT-TR, the MIC5377YMT-TR offers identical performance and footprint but excludes the auto-discharge function - reducing BOM count and cost where rapid output decay is unnecessary. Unlike TPL7407LPGEDR, it is a dedicated low-noise, precision-adjustable LDO, not a driver-integrated solution.

FAQ
What is the minimum output capacitor value required for stable operation of the MIC5377YMT-TR?
The MIC5377YMT-TR requires a minimum 1 µF ceramic output capacitor for output voltages ≥2.5 V. For outputs below 2.5 V, a 2.2 µF minimum is specified. X7R or X5R dielectrics are recommended due to stable capacitance over temperature; Y5V types are not advised. This requirement is validated per DS20006080A-page 4 and page 10.
Does the MIC5377YMT-TR include an output auto-discharge function?
No, the MIC5377YMT-TR does not include an output auto-discharge circuit. That feature is present only in the MIC5378YMT-TR variant. The MIC5377YMT-TR shares the same pinout and electrical specifications but omits the internal 30 Ω NFET discharge path activated during shutdown.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for the MIC5377YMT-TR?
The MIC5377YMT-TR has a maximum junction temperature of +125°C, with an operating junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. Thermal resistance (θJA) is 250°C/W for the 1.2 mm × 1.2 mm TQFN package, and power dissipation must be limited to avoid exceeding TJMAX, as defined in Equation 4-2 of DS20006080A-page 11.
Can the MIC5377YMT-TR be used with a 1.8 V input supply?
No - the MIC5377YMT-TR requires a minimum input voltage of 2.5 V per its absolute operating rating. A 1.8 V input falls outside specification and will not sustain regulation. For lower VIN applications, consider Microchip's MIC5205 or other sub-2.5 V LDOs explicitly rated for such inputs.
How is the output voltage set on the MIC5377YMT-TR?
The MIC5377YMT-TR output voltage is set externally using two resistors forming a voltage divider between VOUT, ADJ, and GND. The ADJ pin references an internal 1.0 V ±3% bandgap, so VOUT = 1.0 V × (1 + R1/R2). Typical design examples use R2 = 267 kΩ and R1 = 619 kΩ to achieve 2.8 V, as shown in Figure 4-1 of DS20006080A-page 10.
