Micrel
General Description
The MIC5239 is a low quiescent current, µCap low-dropout regulator. With a maximum operating input voltage of 30V and a quiescent current of 23µA,it is ideal for supplying keep-alive power in systems with high voltage batteries.
Capable of 500mA output, the MIC5239 has a dropout voltage of only 350mV. It can provide high output current for applications such as USB. As a µCap LDO, the MIC5239 is stable with either a
ceramic or a tantalum output capacitor. It only requires a 3.3µF output capacitor for stability.
The MIC5239 includes a logic compatible enable input and an undervoltage error flag indicator. Other features of the MIC5239 include thermal shutdown, current limit, overvolt age shutdown, reverse-leakage protection, and reverse battery protection.
