Product details
Overview
MIC5381-SSYFT-TR from Micrel is a dual-channel, high-accuracy 150mA low-dropout linear regulator with independent enable control and auto-discharge functionality on both outputs. It delivers fixed 3.3V/3.3V outputs in a 6-pin 1mm × 1mm Thin MLF® package, supporting ±1% typical output accuracy, 155mV dropout at full load, and 32µA quiescent current per LDO - ideal for compact battery-powered systems requiring fast transient response and low-noise power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5381-SSYFT-TR datasheet, MIC5381-SSYFT-TR pinout, MIC5381-SSYFT-TR application, or MIC5381-SSYFT-TR equivalent, key selection considerations include dual-output discharge capability, stable operation with 0402 1µF ceramic capacitors, ultra-low shutdown current (0.05µA), and thermal/current protection - all critical for portable medical devices, Bluetooth headsets, and USB-powered peripherals.
Technical Context
The MIC5381-SSYFT-TR integrates two independent CMOS-based LDO regulators with active-high enable inputs (EN1/EN2), each capable of delivering up to 150mA with 155mV dropout at rated load. Its internal auto-discharge circuit applies a 30Ω NFET load to VOUT1 and VOUT2 when disabled, ensuring rapid capacitor discharge without external components.
It operates across 2.5V–5.5V input range, maintains ±1% output accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, achieves 60dB PSRR at 1kHz, and exhibits 200µVRMS output noise (10Hz–100kHz) - enabling clean power delivery to noise-sensitive analog and RF circuitry in space-constrained designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V / 3.3V - eliminates external feedback resistors and simplifies layout for dual-rail applications. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA per LDO - supports moderate-power digital cores, sensors, and RF ICs without thermal derating in minimal footprint. |
| Dropout Voltage | 155mV at 150mA - enables regulation from 3.455V input to 3.3V output, maximizing battery runtime in single-cell Li-ion systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 32µA per LDO - minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems such as real-time clocks or keep-alive memory. |
| Auto-Discharge | 30Ω internal NFET per output - discharges output caps within microseconds upon disable, preventing back-powering or latch-up in multi-rail sequencing. |
| PSRR | 60dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters, improving ADC SNR and RF receiver sensitivity. |
| Thermal Protection | Integrated thermal shutdown - prevents damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heat sinking in sealed enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin 1mm × 1mm Thin MLF® (RoHS-compliant, NiPdAu lead finish, halogen-free mold compound). Pin 1 identified by ▲ mark (top view).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VOUT1 | LDO1 regulated output | Delivers stable 3.3V to primary load; requires ≥1µF ceramic capacitor for stability. |
| 2 - VOUT2 | LDO2 regulated output | Delivers second 3.3V rail; independently controllable and auto-discharged when EN2 = low. |
| 3 - EN2 | Active-high enable for LDO2 | Logic high (≥1.2V) enables VOUT2; must not float - tie to GND or controller GPIO. |
| 4 - EN1 | Active-high enable for LDO1 | Enables VOUT1 independently; allows staggered power-up or dynamic rail disabling. |
| 5 - GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return path for both LDOs; requires low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| 6 - VIN | Input supply (2.5V–5.5V) | Accepts single-source input; requires 1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor close to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent enable control | EN1/EN2 allow precise sequencing, rail isolation, and dynamic power gating without external logic. |
| Auto-discharge on both outputs | 30Ω internal discharge FET per output eliminates need for external bleed resistors in portable designs. |
| Stable with 0402 1µF ceramics | Reduces BOM count and board area - no large tantalum or electrolytic capacitors required. |
| ±1% output accuracy (typical) | Meets tight voltage tolerance requirements for 3.3V I/O interfaces, flash memory, and MCU cores. |
| Low ground current in shutdown | 0.05µA total - preserves battery life in long-term storage or deep-sleep modes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6223D331MR-G | Single-output 3.3V LDO (150mA); no dual channel or auto-discharge. | Requires two separate ICs to replicate MIC5381-SSYFT-TR functionality; increases PCB area and BOM count. | Select only if dual-rail integration is unnecessary and board space permits discrete implementation. |
| Ricoh RP512F331B-TR-F | Dual 3.3V/3.3V LDO (200mA each); no auto-discharge; higher quiescent current (60µA per LDO). | Lacks output discharge - external resistors needed for safe rail collapse in USB or hot-plug scenarios. | Prefer when higher output current is required and discharge timing is managed externally or not critical. |
Compared with XC6223D331MR-G and RP512F331B-TR-F, the MIC5381-SSYFT-TR uniquely combines dual 3.3V regulation, integrated auto-discharge, and ultra-low 32µA quiescent current in a 1mm² footprint - making it optimal for miniaturized, battery-sensitive applications where rail sequencing and fast shutdown are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the function of the auto-discharge feature in MIC5381-SSYFT-TR?
The MIC5381-SSYFT-TR integrates an internal 30Ω NFET on each output that activates automatically when EN1 or EN2 is driven low. This discharges external output capacitors rapidly - preventing back-powering of upstream circuits, eliminating need for external bleed resistors, and ensuring safe power-down sequencing in portable devices. The feature is exclusive to the MIC5381 variant and not present in MIC5380.
Can MIC5381-SSYFT-TR operate with input voltage below 2.5V?
No. The MIC5381-SSYFT-TR has a specified operating input voltage range of +2.5V to +5.5V. Operation below 2.5V violates the Absolute Maximum Ratings and may result in unregulated output, increased dropout, or failure to enable. For sub-2.5V applications, alternative LDOs with lower VIN minima must be selected.
What is the maximum junction temperature and thermal resistance of MIC5381-SSYFT-TR?
The MIC5381-SSYFT-TR has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +125°C and a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 150°C/W in the standard 1mm × 1mm Thin MLF® package. At 150mA per LDO and 3.6V input to 3.3V output, power dissipation is ~0.18W, allowing ambient operation up to ~98°C with proper PCB copper area.
Does MIC5381-SSYFT-TR require external capacitors, and what type is recommended?
Yes - MIC5381-SSYFT-TR requires a 1µF ceramic input capacitor (X5R/X7R dielectric, 0402 size) and ≥1µF ceramic output capacitors on both VOUT1 and VOUT2. Y5V/Z5U dielectrics are not recommended due to excessive capacitance loss over temperature. The design is optimized for low-ESR ceramics; high-ESR capacitors risk instability.
How does MIC5381-SSYFT-TR differ from MIC5380-SSYFT-TR?
The MIC5381-SSYFT-TR includes auto-discharge circuitry on both outputs (activated when EN1/EN2 = low), whereas MIC5380-SSYFT-TR lacks this feature. Both share identical pinout, package, output voltages (3.3V/3.3V), accuracy, and current capability. The MIC5381-SSYFT-TR marking code "MK" distinguishes it from MIC5380's "S2" code.
