The MIC5255-3.1BM5 is a fixed 3.1V low dropout linear regulator from Micrel, delivering up to 150mA of output current. Housed in a compact SOT-23-5 package, it features a low dropout voltage of 0.25V at full load and a quiescent current of just 150µA, making it well-suited for battery-operated and power-sensitive applications. Its PSRR of 60dB to 50dB across 10Hz to 10kHz ensures clean, stable output for analog and RF circuits.

  • Extended Battery Life: Low 150µA quiescent current minimizes standby drain in portable devices.
  • Clean Output: 60dB to 50dB PSRR from 10Hz to 10kHz reduces supply noise for sensitive loads.
  • Compact Footprint: SOT-23-5 package saves PCB space for space-constrained designs.
  • Low Dropout: 0.25V dropout at 150mA allows operation from near-rail input voltages, improving efficiency.

Portable Battery-Powered Devices

The 3.1V fixed output and low 150µA quiescent current make it ideal for extending battery life in handheld instruments, remote controls, and wearable electronics.

Noise-Sensitive Analog Circuits

With PSRR of 60dB to 50dB from 10Hz to 10kHz, this LDO effectively filters power supply noise for precision op-amps, ADCs, and sensor signal conditioning.

Wireless Modules and RF Transceivers

The stable 3.1V rail and good high-frequency ripple rejection support clean power for Bluetooth, Zigbee, and sub-GHz radio modules, reducing spurious emissions.

Microcontroller Power Supply

Provide a regulated 3.1V supply for low-power MCUs, ensuring reliable operation across load transients while maintaining low standby power.

Industrial Sensor Interfaces

The SOT-23-5 package and 150mA capability suit compact industrial transmitters and 4-20mA loop-powered devices requiring a stable local reference.

Automotive Interior Electronics

Although not automotive-qualified, the low dropout and thermal performance support infotainment and dashboard cluster auxiliary rails in controlled environments.
