MIC5213-2.6BC5

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Overview

The MIC5213-2.6BC5 is a fixed positive low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator providing a 2.6V output. It operates within an input voltage range of 2.5V to 16V and delivers up to 80mA of load current. The device features a maximum dropout voltage of 0.6V and maintains initial accuracy better than 3%. Designed for battery-powered applications, it utilizes the Teeny SC-70 package with five pins and requires only 0.47µF of output capacitance for stability.
