MIC5236-2.5YMM-TR

Linear Voltage Regulator is a type of electrical voltage regulator utilized to regulate the voltage output of a power supply. It maintains a constant level of output in spite of disturbances in an undesirable supply. There are several types of linear voltage regulator, and the MIC5236-2.5YMM-TR is one of them.

The MIC5236-2.5YMM-TR is a fixed output low dropout (LDO) regulator. It has a wide input voltage of 2.85V to 15V and a fixed output voltage of 2.5V. It also has an input impedance between 135 kΩ and 190 kΩ. This regulator has a power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) of 50 dB typically, 97 dB at 10 kHz. Moreover, it provides up to 500mA of output current with a 2 mV of dropout voltage at full load of 500mA.

The MIC5236-2.5YMM-TR is ideal for many applications that require a low noise and low dropout regulator such as ASICs, COLD-FETS, cameras, digital video interface (DVI), flat panel displays, infrared (IR) receivers, low-voltage processors and systems, microprocessors, MP3 players, RF Applications, RF peripherals and WLAN applications. Furthermore, this regulator also provides environmental flexibility for various application fields including automotive, battery powered and consumer products.

The MIC5236-2.5YMM-TR works on the principle of voltage regulation. When the output voltage of the regulator exceeds its preset level, the regulator adjusts its output current to maintain the desired voltage. This is done by increasing the total resistance in the circuit, reducing the current flow and thus bringing the voltage down to the set level. When the voltage is below the desired limit, the regulator reduces the resistance in the circuit, thus allowing more current to flow, thereby increasing the output voltage.

The MIC5236-2.5YMM-TR also features over-voltage protection and short circuit protection which prevents damage in the event of overcurrent flow. Additionally, this regulator is available in an 8-pin SOT-23 package and has a junction temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. It also has a low quiescent current of 1.7 mA typical at full load and has the ability to operate over a broad temperature range.

Overall, the MIC5236-2.5YMM-TR is a reliable and low cost solution for a variety of voltage regulation applications, from consumer electronics to automotive applications. This easily integrate regulator offers high performance and accurate, low noise regulation in a wide variety of environmental conditions.
