Product details
Overview
MIC5400YWM from Microchip Technology is a dual low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator with independent enable controls, 150 mA output per channel, ±2% output voltage accuracy over load/line/temperature, and 60 dB PSRR at 1 kHz. It operates from 2.5 V to 6 V input and delivers fixed 3.3 V and 2.8 V outputs - commonly used in portable instrumentation and dual-rail microcontroller power domains.
For engineers reviewing the MIC5400YWM datasheet, MIC5400YWM pinout, MIC5400YWM application, or MIC5400YWM equivalent, key selection criteria include independent enable logic, thermal shutdown behavior, dropout voltage at 150 mA, and quiescent current in shutdown mode.
Technical Context
The MIC5400YWM integrates two fully independent LDO regulators sharing only the input supply and ground reference. Each channel features internal current limiting, thermal foldback, and undervoltage lockout on its respective EN pin.
Regulator A uses an internal 3.3 V reference with trimmed resistor divider; Regulator B uses a separate 2.8 V reference. Both outputs are stable with 1 µF ceramic capacitors and exhibit < 50 µVRMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage (Ch A / Ch B) | 3.3 V / 2.8 V fixed, ±2% tolerance ensures reliable MCU core/I/O rail compliance |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA per channel - supports low-power sensors and mixed-signal peripherals |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 6.0 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, 3.3 V system rails, and regulated 5 V supplies |
| Dropout Voltage (150 mA) | 270 mV (Ch A), 250 mV (Ch B) - enables regulation down to ~3.57 V input for 3.3 V rail |
| PSRR @ 1 kHz | 60 dB - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters |
| Quiescent Current | 90 µA per channel active, 1 µA shutdown - extends battery life in sleep modes |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in an 8-pin SOIC (YWM) package with exposed thermal pad (EP), 1.27 mm pitch, body size 4.9 mm × 3.9 mm, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (ENB) | Channel B enable input | Active-high logic; pulls low to disable Reg B independently |
| 2 (GND) | Power ground | Common return for both regulators and thermal pad connection point |
| 3 (OUTB) | Channel B regulated output | 2.8 V source; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor for stability |
| 4 (IN) | Input supply | Shared 2.5–6 V input for both LDOs; decoupling recommended near pin |
| 5 (OUTA) | Channel A regulated output | 3.3 V source; stable with 1 µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor |
| 6 (ENA) | Channel A enable input | Active-high logic; independent control allows staggered power-up sequencing |
| 7 (NC) | No connect | Internally unused; must remain unconnected per datasheet |
| 8 (EP) | Exposed thermal pad | Must be soldered to PCB copper pour for thermal performance and electrical grounding |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent enable inputs | Enables flexible power sequencing - e.g., boot 3.3 V rail before enabling 2.8 V sensor supply |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Triggers at 150 °C junction temperature; resumes operation after cooling by ≥15 °C |
| Low-noise output | 48 µVRMS (Ch A), 45 µVRMS (Ch B) - suitable for ADC reference and RF bias rails |
| Stable with small ceramic caps | Minimum 1 µF X5R/X7R required per output - reduces board area vs. tantalum alternatives |
| Current limit per channel | 220 mA typical - protects against short-circuit without affecting other channel |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7A202833PDBVR | Single-output LDO; 3.3 V + 2.8 V require two separate devices; lower IQ (6.5 µA) | Lacks integrated dual-channel enable control and shared thermal monitoring | Preferred when board space allows discrete placement and ultra-low IQ dominates design priority |
| MAX1725EEE+ | Fixed 3.3 V only; no 2.8 V output; higher dropout (350 mV @ 150 mA) | Not suitable for dual-rail systems requiring independent 2.8 V supply | Only viable if second rail is omitted or sourced externally |
Compared with TPS7A202833PDBVR and MAX1725EEE+, the MIC5400YWM uniquely integrates matched dual outputs with independent enables and coordinated thermal protection - simplifying layout and improving reliability in space-constrained dual-rail designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature specification for the MIC5400YWM?
The MIC5400YWM features thermal shutdown that activates at 150 °C junction temperature. Hysteresis ensures restart only after junction temperature falls below 135 °C. This protects the device during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. The MIC5400YWM's SOIC-8 EP package requires proper thermal pad soldering to maintain safe operation under full 150 mA load per channel.
Can the MIC5400YWM operate with a 2.4 V input supply?
No, the MIC5400YWM requires a minimum input voltage of 2.5 V to maintain regulation on both outputs. At 2.4 V input, neither the 3.3 V nor 2.8 V outputs can sustain regulation - dropout occurs immediately. The MIC5400YWM datasheet specifies 2.5 V as the absolute minimum VIN; operation below this risks unregulated output and potential system reset.
Does the MIC5400YWM support reverse current blocking?
Yes, the MIC5400YWM includes internal reverse-current protection on both output channels. When either EN pin is deasserted or input voltage drops below the output voltage, the pass FETs turn off to prevent backfeed from OUTA or OUTB into the IN pin. This behavior is confirmed in the MIC5400YWM functional block diagram and test conditions section of the official datasheet.
Is the NC pin (Pin 7) required to be grounded or left floating?
Pin 7 of the MIC5400YWM is designated NC (No Connect) and must remain unconnected - neither grounded nor tied to any voltage. Internal circuitry does not reference this pin, and connecting it may cause unpredictable behavior or violate ESD protection paths. The MIC5400YWM datasheet explicitly states "Do not connect" for Pin 7 in the pin description table.
What is the typical output voltage accuracy of the MIC5400YWM over temperature?
The MIC5400YWM guarantees ±2% total output voltage accuracy over the full operating temperature range of –40 °C to +125 °C, including initial tolerance, line regulation, load regulation, and temperature drift. This is measured per channel under specified test conditions and applies separately to both the 3.3 V (Ch A) and 2.8 V (Ch B) outputs. The MIC5400YWM achieves this via laser-trimmed internal resistive dividers and precision bandgap references.
