MIC5264-MGYML

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

The MIC5264-MGYML is a dual Low Dropout (LDO) linear regulator manufactured by Micrel, designed for portable power applications. It features a compact 2.5mm x 2.5mm MLF package, offering a 30% size reduction compared to previous solutions. The device operates with an input voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V and provides two independent output channels. Each channel delivers up to 150mA of output current. The regulator exhibits a typical dropout voltage of 210mV at full load. It includes built-in thermal shutdown and current limit protection. The component is lead-free and compliant with RoHS standards.

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

Verify the specific suffix MGYML against the official Microchip datasheet to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics match your design requirements. Ensure the supplier provides documentation confirming RoHS compliance and lead-free status as stated in the product announcement. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with the distributor listing to avoid confusion with similar variants in the MIC5264 family.

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

Select this component when board space is constrained due to its small 2.5mm x 2.5mm footprint. It is suitable for designs requiring two separate regulated rails from a single source. Consider the 150mA per channel limit for load requirements. The low dropout characteristic makes it appropriate for battery-operated applications where maximizing battery life is critical. Verify that the required output voltages are available in the fixed options provided by the manufacturer.

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

The MIC5264 series belongs to Micrel's portfolio of ultra-low dropout regulators aimed at portable electronics. This specific model integrates two LDOs into a single package to save space. Micrel was acquired by Microchip Technology, which continues to support and manufacture these components. The MLF package type offers improved thermal performance compared to traditional plastic packages.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the MIC5264 family with different output voltage suffixes. Verify if other dual LDOs from Microchip offer similar current ratings and package dimensions. Ensure any replacement maintains the same pinout configuration or requires schematic modification.
