Product details
Overview
MIC5380-G4YFT-TR from Micrel is a dual low-dropout linear regulator IC delivering two independent 150mA outputs at fixed 1.8V and 1.2V, housed in a 6-pin 1mm × 1mm Thin MLF® package. It features ±1% typical output accuracy, 155mV dropout at full load, and 32µA quiescent current per LDO-optimized for space-constrained battery-powered systems such as portable medical devices and USB peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5380-G4YFT-TR datasheet, MIC5380-G4YFT-TR pinout, MIC5380-G4YFT-TR application, or MIC5380-G4YFT-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail voltage generation with independent enable control, zero-off-mode shutdown (0.05µA), stability with 0402 1µF ceramic capacitors, and thermal/overcurrent protection in a RoHS-compliant ultra-small footprint.
Technical Context
The MIC5380-G4YFT-TR integrates two CMOS-based LDOs sharing a common input and ground but operating independently via dedicated EN1/EN2 pins. Each regulator uses internal bandgap reference and error amplifier feedback to maintain tight regulation across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
It employs low-ESR ceramic capacitor–optimized control loop architecture enabling fast transient response and 60dB PSRR at 1kHz. Unlike the MIC5381 variant, it lacks auto-discharge circuitry-output discharge requires external design when disabling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltages | 1.8V (LDO1) and 1.2V (LDO2), fixed and non-adjustable-enables direct power delivery to core logic and I/O rails without external resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA per LDO-supports moderate-power digital subsystems like camera DSPs or Bluetooth baseband ICs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 155mV at 150mA-allows operation down to VIN = VOUT + 0.155V, extending battery runtime in single-cell Li-ion (2.8V min) applications. |
| Accuracy | ±1% typical over load/temperature-ensures reliable margin for 1.2V core supplies requiring tight tolerance (e.g., ARM Cortex-M cores). |
| Quiescent Current | 32µA per LDO (64µA total active)-minimizes standby drain in always-on sensor nodes or keep-alive RAM circuits. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.05µA max when both EN1 and EN2 are low-enables true zero-power state for long-term storage or deep-sleep modes. |
| PSRR | 60dB at 1kHz-effectively suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding VIN. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin 1mm × 1mm Thin MLF® (RoHS-compliant, NiPdAu lead finish, halogen-free mold compound). Pin 1 identified by ▲ mark on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VOUT1 | LDO1 regulated output (1.8V); connects directly to load requiring stable 1.8V supply (e.g., memory I/O). |
| 2 | VOUT2 | LDO2 regulated output (1.2V); powers low-voltage cores such as microcontroller cores or analog sensor interfaces. |
| 3 | EN2 | Active-high enable for LDO2; must be pulled high (>1.2V) to activate-prevents floating-induced erratic behavior. |
| 4 | EN1 | Active-high enable for LDO1; enables independent sequencing (e.g., power LDO1 before LDO2 during boot). |
| 5 | GND | Common ground return for both regulators and enable inputs-requires low-inductance PCB connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 6 | VIN | Shared input supply (2.5V–5.5V); feeds both LDOs-must be decoupled with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor close to pin 6. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small footprint | 1mm × 1mm Thin MLF® package saves >70% board area vs. standard SOT-23 dual-LDO solutions-critical for Bluetooth headsets and PDA modules. |
| Independent enable control | Dedicated EN1/EN2 pins allow staggered power-up/down sequencing-enables compliance with processor power-state transitions (e.g., ARM WFI/WFE). |
| Stability with 0402 capacitors | Guaranteed stable with 1µF X5R/X7R 0402 ceramics-eliminates need for larger 0603 or tantalum caps, reducing BOM count and height. |
| Thermal & current protection | Integrated thermal shutdown and foldback current limiting prevent damage during overload or poor heatsinking-no external protection circuitry required. |
| No-load regulation | Maintains regulation with zero output current-essential for CMOS RAM keep-alive circuits where load may be disconnected. |
Applications
| Bluetooth Headset Power Management | USB Thumb Drive Controller Supply |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS70248PWPR | 200mA per LDO, 1.5V/3.3V fixed outputs, 16-pin HTSSOP package (3.1mm × 3.1mm) | Higher current, wider voltage pairing, larger footprint-suited for industrial controllers needing higher drive capability. | Select when >150mA per rail or different voltage combinations (e.g., 1.5V/3.3V) are required; not drop-in due to pinout and size mismatch. |
| AP7361-1812D-7 | Dual 300mA LDO, 1.8V/1.2V outputs, 10-pin DFN (2.5mm × 2.5mm), no independent enables | Higher current, shared enable, larger package-better for cost-sensitive consumer electronics with less stringent size constraints. | Choose when board space allows 2.5mm × 2.5mm and simultaneous enable suffices; lacks independent sequencing capability of MIC5380-G4YFT-TR. |
Compared with TPS70248PWPR and AP7361-1812D-7, the MIC5380-G4YFT-TR uniquely delivers 150mA dual-rail regulation in a 1mm × 1mm footprint with independent enables-making it optimal for ultra-compact portable designs where sequencing and minimal area are critical.

FAQ
What are the fixed output voltages of the MIC5380-G4YFT-TR?
The MIC5380-G4YFT-TR provides two fixed, non-adjustable output voltages: 1.8V on VOUT1 (Pin 1) and 1.2V on VOUT2 (Pin 2). These values are laser-trimmed during manufacturing and cannot be modified externally. The marking code "G4" on the device body confirms this 1.8V/1.2V configuration per the Micrel ordering guide.
Does the MIC5380-G4YFT-TR include auto-discharge functionality?
No, the MIC5380-G4YFT-TR does not include auto-discharge circuitry. That feature is exclusive to the MIC5381 variant (e.g., MIC5381-G4YFT). When EN1 or EN2 is pulled low on the MIC5380-G4YFT-TR, the corresponding output enters zero-current shutdown but leaves the output capacitor charged-external discharge paths must be added if rapid voltage decay is required.
What input voltage range is supported by the MIC5380-G4YFT-TR?
The MIC5380-G4YFT-TR operates with an input voltage range of +2.5V to +5.5V. This allows compatibility with single-cell Li-ion (2.8–4.2V), Li-polymer, or regulated 3.3V/5V system rails. Operation below 2.5V risks dropout or loss of regulation, especially at full 150mA load on either output.
Can the MIC5380-G4YFT-TR be used without load on either output?
Yes, the MIC5380-G4YFT-TR remains stable and in regulation with zero load on either or both outputs. This no-load stability is confirmed in the datasheet's Application Information section and is essential for applications like CMOS RAM keep-alive circuits where one rail may be unconnected during certain states.
What ceramic capacitor dielectrics are recommended for use with the MIC5380-G4YFT-TR?
X5R and X7R dielectric ceramic capacitors are recommended for both input and output filtering with the MIC5380-G4YFT-TR. These offer stable capacitance over temperature (±15% for X7R), low ESR, and compatibility with 0402 case size. Y5V and Z5U dielectrics are explicitly discouraged due to excessive capacitance loss across temperature.
