General Description
The MIC5209 is an efficient 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.
