General Description
The MIC5245 is an efficient, precise CMOS voltage regulator optimized for ultra-low-noise applications. The MIC5245 offers better than 1% initial accuracy, extremely low dropout voltage (typically 150mV at 150mA) and constant ground current over load (typically 100µA). The MIC5245 provides a very low noise output, ideal for RF applications where quiet voltage sources are required. A noise bypass pin is also available for further reduction of output noise.
