MIC5357 
High Performance, Low Noise Dual 
500mA ULDO  
 
 
 
 
 
General Description   Features 
The MIC5357 is a tiny Dual Ultra Low Dropout (ULDO)  2.6V to 5.5V input voltage range 
linear regulator ideally suited for portable electronics due 
 Ultra low dropout voltage: 130mV @ 500mA  
to its low output noise. The MIC5357 provides two 
 Ultra low output noise: 51V 
RMS
independently controlled high performance 500mA LDOs 
 2% initial output accuracy 
with typical dropout voltage of 130mV at rated load. In 
addition, the MIC5357 provides a bypass pin to reduce the  Small 8-pin ePad MSOP package 
output noise.  
 Excellent Load/Line transient response 
The MIC5357 is designed to be stable with small ceramic 
 Fast start up time: 38s 
output capacitors thereby reducing required board space 
 Cap stable with 2.2F ceramic capacitors 
and component cost. The combination of extremely low 
 Thermal shutdown protection 
dropout voltage, low output noise and exceptional thermal 
 Low quiescent current: 160A with both outputs at 
package characteristics makes it ideal for powering RF 
maximum load 
and noise sensitive circuitry, cellular phone camera 
modules, imaging sensors for digital still cameras, PDAs, 
 Current-limit protection 
MP3 players and WebCam applications. 
 
The MIC5357 ULDO is available in fixed output voltages 
Applications 
in the small 8-pin ePad MSOP package. Additional voltage 
options are available. For more information, contact Micrel
