MIC5200-3.0YS

MIC5200-3.0YS is a high-performance, low-noise, low-dropout linear voltage regulator from Micrel Semiconductor. This device is a very simple and straightforward circuit which employs an active load to provide output current. By using an active load, the maximum allowable output voltage is only limited by the breakdown voltage of the device. This means that the MIC5200-3.0YS can provide low-dropout performance, even at low output voltages.

The MIC5200-3.0YS is designed for use as single-supply voltage regulators, and can be used to provide power to different loads. It has a very low operating voltage, typically in the range of 0.2V-1V. This low operating voltage allows the use of low-voltage power supplies, and the ability to reduce power consumption. The MIC5200-3.0YS has a wide input voltage range from 1.5V to 15V, and can operate with input voltages as low as 0.5V. It also has Logic-Compatible Shutdown and Soft-Start pins, allowing for the precise control of power-up and power-down time. The MIC5200-3.0YS also has a wide output voltage range from 0V to 15V.

The MIC5200-3.0YS can also be used as LDO regulators, providing reliable and stable output power. The device has very low quiescent current, making it ideal for low-power systems. It is also available in a low-profile surface-mount package, which makes it easy to mount on a PCB.

The MIC5200-3.0YS uses an active load to provide current to the load. The active load consists of a MOSFET, whose gate and source pins are driven by the output voltage of the regulator. The MOSFET acts as a linear resistance, and its resistance is determined by the output voltage of the regulator. As the output voltage is lowered, the resistance of the MOSFET increases, allowing for the regulation of output voltage. The active load also allows for improved noise performance, since the MOSFET behaves like a low-pass filter and reduces high-frequency noise.

The MIC5200-3.0YS is an ideal choice for a wide range of application fields, including digital and analog power supplies, portable electronics, telecom, automotive and medical. It is also suitable for a wide range of voltage regulator solutions, including step-down and step-up converters, low-dropout regulators, current-limited regulators and more. With its low noise, low-dropout performance and wide range of output voltages, the MIC5200-3.0YS is a perfect fit for any voltages regulator application.
