The MIC5256-2.85BM5 TR is a low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator from Micrel (now Microchip Technology). This regulator is designed to provide a stable 2.85V output with a low dropout voltage, making it suitable for battery-powered devices and other applications requiring high efficiency and low noise.

Applications:

• Battery-powered devices
• Portable electronics
• Post-regulation for switching power supplies
• Noise-sensitive circuits
• Microcontroller power supplies

Features:

• Output Voltage: 2.85V
• Low dropout voltage
• Low quiescent current
• Overcurrent and overtemperature protection
• Stable with ceramic output capacitors

Benefits:

• Extends battery life in portable devices
• Provides a stable and clean power supply for sensitive circuits
• Reduces power consumption and heat generation
• Protects the regulator from damage due to overloads or overheating
• Simplifies circuit design and reduces the need for external components

Additional Details:

The MIC5256-2.85BM5 TR is available in a small SOT-23-5 package and is designed for surface mount assembly. It features a shutdown pin that can be used to disable the regulator and further reduce power consumption. The regulator's performance is optimized for use with ceramic output capacitors, ensuring stability and low noise operation. The "TR" suffix indicates that the part is tape and reel packaged for automated assembly processes.
