Additional Details

The MIC5264-2.8/2.8YML is a compact and efficient LDO regulator suitable for a wide range of applications. The low dropout voltage allows the regulator to operate with a small difference between the input and output voltages, maximizing efficiency and extending battery life. The high output voltage accuracy ensures that the regulated voltage remains stable under varying load conditions. The low quiescent current minimizes power consumption when the regulator is in standby mode. The regulator is stable with ceramic output capacitors, which are cost-effective and offer excellent performance.

The MIC5264-2.8/2.8YML also includes current limiting and thermal shutdown protection to prevent damage to the regulator and the connected circuitry in the event of an overload or overtemperature condition. This LDO regulator is commonly used in portable electronics, battery-powered devices, and other applications where efficiency and reliability are critical. The small outline package allows for easy integration into space-constrained designs. The Micrel MIC5264-2.8/2.8YML provides a stable, accurate, and efficient power solution for a variety of electronic devices.
