MIC5231-5.0YM5 – MICREL

The MIC5231-5.0YM5 is a low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator manufactured by MICREL (now Microchip Technology). It provides a fixed 5.0V output voltage with a maximum output current of 10mA. The device is housed in a SOT-23-5 surface-mount package. The MIC5231-5.0YM5 features a low quiescent current, typically in the microampere range, making it suitable for battery-powered applications. It incorporates overcurrent and overtemperature protection circuitry to enhance reliability. The regulator is stable with ceramic output capacitors, minimizing the need for external components. Input voltage range is typically up to 16V, but should be verified on the manufacturer’s datasheet. The YM5 suffix denotes specific tape and reel packaging information and possibly other manufacturing or testing variations; refer to the manufacturer’s datasheet for precise details.
