General Description
The MIC5209 is an effi cient linear voltage regulator with very low dropout voltage, typically 10mV at light loads and less than 500mV at full load, with better than 1% output voltage accuracy.
Designed especially for hand-held, battery-powered devices, the MIC5209 features low ground current to help prolong battery life. An enable/shutdown pin on SO-8 and TO-263-5 versions can further improve battery life with near-zero shutdown current.
