The MIC5209-2.5YS is a 500mA low-dropout linear regulator from Microchip Technology, delivering a fixed 2.5V output. It features a low dropout voltage of 0.6V at full load and a quiescent current of just 170 µA, making it efficient for battery-powered systems. With 75dB PSRR at 120Hz, it provides clean, stable power for noise-sensitive analog and digital circuits. Housed in a compact SOT-223-3 package, this regulator is suitable for space-constrained applications.
- High Output Current: 500mA capability supports a wide range of loads.
- Low Dropout Voltage: 0.6V at 500mA allows operation with minimal headroom.
- Excellent PSRR: 75dB at 120Hz effectively rejects ripple.
- Compact Package: SOT-223-3 saves PCB space for space-constrained designs.
- Low Quiescent Current: 170 µA reduces standby power consumption.
2.5V Logic and DSP Power
The fixed 2.5V output is ideal for powering 2.5V logic, DSPs, and low-voltage digital ICs. With 500mA capability and 0.6V dropout, it maintains a stable rail even when the input voltage dips close to 3.1V.
Battery-Powered Portable Devices
With a low quiescent current of 170 µA, the MIC5209-2.5YS extends battery life in portable instruments, handheld devices, and wireless sensors. The low dropout allows efficient use of battery voltage.
High-PSRR Analog Circuits
The 75dB PSRR at 120Hz effectively filters ripple from switching supplies, making it suitable for powering precision analog circuits, op-amps, and data converters.
Post-Regulation for Switching Supplies
Place the MIC5209-2.5YS after a DC-DC converter to reduce output noise and ripple. The high PSRR improves performance for sensitive RF and audio applications.
Industrial Sensor Interfaces
Provide a stable 2.5V reference for industrial sensors, transducers, and interface circuits. The 500mA output can drive multiple sensors while maintaining regulation.
Compact PCB Designs
