USER MANUAL MIC5385 Microchip
The MIC5385 is an advanced general purpose triple linear regulator offering high power supply rejection (PSRR) in an ultra-small 2mm x 2mm 8 pin Thin MLF® package. The MIC5385 is capable of sourcing 150mA for each output and offers high PSRR making it an ideal solution for any portable electronic application.
Ideal for battery powered applications, the MIC5385 offers 2% initial accuracy, low dropout voltage (180mV @ 150mA), and low ground current (typically 32μA per output). The MIC5385 can also be put into a zero-off-mode current state, drawing virtually no current when disabled.
The MIC5385 is available in a lead-free (RoHS compliant) 2mm x 2mm 8 pin Thin MLF ^® occupying only 4mm ^2 of PCB area, a 33% reduction in board area compared to a 3mm x 2mm Thin MLF ^® package.
The MIC5385 has an operating junction temperature range of -40^ to 125^ .

Notes:
- Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
- The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
- The maximum allowable power dissipation of any T_A (ambient temperature) is P_D() = (T_J() - T_A) / _JA . Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown.
- Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended. Human body model, 1.5kΩ in series with 100pF.
- Specification for packaged product only.
- Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing, changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered by the thermal regulation specification.
- Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to-output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal value measured at 1V differential.
For outputs below 2.5V, dropout voltage is the input-to-output differential with the minimum input voltage 2.5V.
- Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of the load current plus the ground pin current.

Application Information
MIC5385 is a triple output Low noise 150mA LDO. The MIC5385 regulator is fully protected from damage due to fault conditions, offering linear current limiting and thermal shutdown.
Input Capacitor
The MIC5385 is a high-performance, high bandwidth device. An input capacitor of 1 F is required from the input-to-ground to provide stability. Low-ESR ceramic capacitors provide optimal performance at a minimum of space. Additional high-frequency capacitors, such as small-valued NPO dielectric-type capacitors, help filter out high-frequency noise and are good practice in any RF-based circuit. X5R or X7R dielectrics are recommended for the input capacitor. Y5V dielectrics lose most of their capacitance over temperature and are therefore, not recommended.
Output Capacitor
The MIC5385 requires an output capacitor of 1μF or greater for each output to maintain stability. The design is optimized for use with low-ESR ceramic chip capacitors. High ESR capacitors are not recommended because they may cause high frequency oscillation. The output capacitor can be increased, but performance has been optimized for a 1μF ceramic output capacitor and does not improve significantly with larger capacitance.
X7R/X5R dielectric-type ceramic capacitors are recommended because of their temperature performance. X7R-type capacitors change capacitance by 15% over their operating temperature range and are the most stable type of ceramic capacitors. Z5U and Y5V dielectric capacitors change value by as much as 50% and 60%, respectively, over their operating temperature ranges. To use a ceramic chip capacitor with Y5V dielectric, the value must be much higher than an X7R ceramic capacitor to ensure the same minimum capacitance over the equivalent operating temperature range.
No-Load Stability
Unlike many other voltage regulators, the MIC5385 will remain stable and in regulation with no load. This is especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive applications.
Enable/Shutdown
The MIC5385 comes with an active-high enable pin that allows the regulator to be disabled. Forcing the enable pin low disables the regulator and sends it into a "zero" off-mode-current state. In this state, current consumed by the regulator goes nearly to zero. Forcing the enable pin high enables the output voltage. The active-high enable pin uses CMOS technology and the enable pin cannot be left floating; a floating enable pin may cause an indeterminate state on the output.
Thermal Considerations
The MIC5385 is designed to provide three outputs up to 150mA each of continuous current in a very small package. Maximum ambient operating temperature can be calculated based on the output current and the voltage drop across the part. For example if the input voltage is 3.6V and the output voltages are 3.3V, 1.8V, and 1.5V each with an output current = 150mA. The actual power dissipation of the regulator circuit can be determined using the equation:
$$ P _ {D} = \left(V _ {I N} - V _ {O U T 1}\right) I _ {O U T 1} + $$
$$ \left(V _ {I N} - V _ {O U T 2}\right) I _ {O U T 2} + $$
$$ \left(V _ {I N} - V _ {O U T 3}\right) I _ {O U T} + V _ {I N} I _ {G N D} $$
As the MIC5385 is a CMOS device, the ground current is typically <100 A over the load range, the power dissipation contributed by the ground current is <1% and may be ignored for this calculation.
$$ P _ {D} = (3. 6 \mathrm{V} - 3. 3 \mathrm{V}) 1 5 0 \mathrm{mA} + (3. 6 \mathrm{V} - 1. 8 \mathrm{V}) 1 5 0 \mathrm{mA} + $$
$$ (3. 6 \mathrm{V} - 1. 5 \mathrm{V}) 1 5 0 \mathrm{mA} $$
$$ P _ {D} = 0. 6 3 W $$
To determine the maximum ambient operating temperature of the package, use the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the device and the following basic equation:
$$ P _ {D (\max)} = \left(\frac {T - T _ {A J (\max)}}{\theta_ {J A}}\right) $$
T_J(max) = 125^ , the maximum junction temperature of the die, and _JA thermal resistance = 90°C/W for the Thin MLF® package.
Substituting P_D for P_D(max) and solving for the ambient operating temperature will give the maximum operating conditions for the regulator circuit.
The maximum power dissipation must not be exceeded for proper operation.
For example, when operating the MIC5385-SGFYMT at an input voltage of 3.6V and 450mA load with a minimum footprint layout, the maximum ambient operating temperature T_A can be determined as follows:
$$ 0. 6 3 \mathrm{W} = (1 2 5 ^ {\circ} \mathrm{C} - \mathrm{T} _ {\mathrm{A}}) / (9 0 ^ {\circ} \mathrm{C} / \mathrm{W}) $$
$$ T _ {A} = 6 8. 3 ^ {\circ} \mathrm{C} / \mathrm{W} $$
Therefore, the maximum ambient operating temperature of 68.3°C is allowed in a 2mm x 2mm thin MLF® package.
