MIC5236-3.0BMM-TR

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

The MIC5236-3.0BMM-TR is a fixed-output low-dropout linear regulator manufactured by Microchip Technology, providing a stable 3.0V output with a maximum continuous current of 150mA. It operates within an input voltage range of 2.3V to 30V and features an ultra-low quiescent current of 20µA at 100µA load. The device includes comprehensive protection mechanisms such as thermal shutdown, overcurrent limiting, reverse battery protection, and load dump survivability up to +60V transients. Packaged in a thermally enhanced 8-pin MSOP, it maintains stability with ceramic or tantalum capacitors.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'BMM' corresponds to the 8-pin MSOP package and fixed 3.0V output configuration. Confirm that the '-TR' designation matches the required reel packaging format for automated assembly processes. Ensure compatibility with the manufacturer's RoHS compliance standards before finalizing procurement orders.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 3.0V rail is required with minimal standby current consumption. The wide input voltage range accommodates varying source conditions without additional pre-regulation stages. The integrated error flag simplifies system diagnostics by providing a direct indication of undervoltage or overload events.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Part Context

This part belongs to the MIC5236 family of µCap LDO regulators designed for high-input voltage applications.
