General Description
The MIC5320 is a tiny Dual Ultra Low-Dropout
(ULDO™) linear regulator ideally suited for portable
electronics. It’s ideal for today’s most demanding
ultra-thin portable applications including mobile
phones, camera modules, imaging sensors for digital
still and video cameras, PDAs, portable media players
(PMP) and PC cameras. The MIC5320 integrates two
high-performance, 150mA ULDOs into a tiny 6-pin
1.6mm x 1.6mm leadless Thin MLF® package, which
provides exceptional thermal package characteristics.
The MIC5320 is a µCap design which enables
operation with very small ceramic output capacitors
for stability, thereby reducing required board space
and component cost. The combination of extremely
low-dropout voltage, fast transient response and
exceptional thermal package characteristics makes it
ideal for portable electronics.
The MIC5320 ULDO™ is available in fixed-output
voltages in the tiny 6-pin 1.6mm x 1.6mm leadless
Thin MLF® package which is only 2.56mm2 in area,
less than 30% the area of the SOT-23, TSOP and
MLF® 3x3 packages. It’s also available in the thin
SOT-23-6 lead package and the standard 6-pin
1.6mm x 1.6mm leadless package. Additional voltage
options are available. For more information, contact
Micrel marketing department.

Notes:
1. Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
2. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
3. The maximum allowable power dissipation of any TA (ambient temperature) is PD(max) = TJ(max) – TA) / θJA. Exceeding the maximum allowable
power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown.
4. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended. Human body model, 1.5k in series with 100pF.
5. Specification for packaged product only.
6. Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to-output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal VOUT. For outputs below 2.3V,
the dropout voltage is the input-to-output differential with the minimum input voltage 2.3V.

Applications Information
Thermal Considerations Enable/Shutdown
The MIC5320 is designed to provide 150mA of
continuous current for both outputs in a very small
package. Maximum ambient operating temperature
can be calculated based on the output current and the
voltage drop across the part. Given that the input
voltage is 3.3V, the output voltage is 2.8V for VOUT1,
1.5V for VOUT2 and the output current = 150mA. The
actual power dissipation of the regulator circuit can be
determined using the equation:
The MIC5320 comes with dual active-high enable pins
that allow each regulator to be disabled
independently. 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.
PD = (VIN – VOUT1) IOUT1 + (VIN – VOUT2) IOUT2+
VIN IGND
Input Capacitor
The MIC5320 is a high-performance, high bandwidth
device. Therefore, it requires a well-bypassed input
supply for optimal performance. A 1µF capacitor 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.
Because this device is CMOS and the ground current
is typically <150µA over the load range, the power
dissipation contributed by the ground current is < 1%
and can be ignored for this calculation.
PD = (3.3V – 2.8V) × 150mA + (3.3V -1.5) ×
150mA

D = 0.345W
Output Capacitor
The MIC5320 requires an output capacitor of 1µF or
greater to maintain stability. The design is optimized
for use with low-ESR ceramic chip capacitors. High
ESR capacitors 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.
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:
PD(MAX) = TJ(MAX) - TA
JA
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.
TJ(max) = 125°C, the maximum junction temperature of
the die θJA thermal resistance = 100°C/W.
The table below shows junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance for the MIC5320 in different packages.

Thermal Resistance
No-Load Stability
Unlike many other voltage regulators, the MIC5320
will remain stable and in regulation with no load. This
is especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive
applications.

Substituting PD for PD(max) and solving for the ambient
operating temperature will give the maximum
operating conditions for the regulator circuit. The
junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the
minimum footprint is 100°C/W.
The maximum power dissipation must not be
exceeded for proper operation.
For example, when operating the MIC5320-MFYMT at
an input voltage of 3.3V and 150mA loads at each
output with a minimum footprint layout, the maximum
ambient operating temperature TA can be determined
as follows:
0.345W = (125°C – TA)/(100°C/W)
T
A = 90.5°C
Therefore, a 2.8V/1.5V application with 150mA at
each output current can accept an ambient operating
temperature of 90.5°C in a 1.6mm x 1.6mm Thin
MLF® package. For a full discussion of heat sinking
and thermal effects on voltage regulators, refer to the
