General Description

The MIC5212 is a dual linear voltage regulator with very-low dropout voltage (typically 10mV at light loads and 350mV at 500mA), very-low ground current (225µA at 10mA output), and better than 1 initial accuracy.

Both regulator outputs can supply up to 500mA at the same time as long as each regulator’s maximum junction temperature is not exceeded.

Features

• Fused lead frame SOIC-8

• Up to 500mA per regulator output

• Low quiescent current

• Low dropout voltage

• Tight load and line regulation

• Low temperature coefficient

• Current and thermal limiting

• Reversed input polarity protection

Applications

• Hard disk drives

• CD R/W

• Bar code scanners

• SMPS post regulator/DC-to-DC modules

• High-efficiency linear power supplies
