Description

The MIC5209-3.6BS is a linear voltage regulator that belongs to the category of electronic components. This device is a highly efficient, low-dropout regulator that is specifically designed for battery-powered handheld devices and features low ground current to prolong the battery life. The voltage dropout at full load is less than 500mV, which is ideal for handheld devices. The device also has a 1% output voltage accuracy and an enable/shutdown pin that can drastically reduce power consumption.

Specifications and features
