Micrel Goes Miniscule With World's Smallest Dual LDO Family
(Market Wire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SAN JOSE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/20/09 --
Micrel Inc., (NASDAQ: MCRL), an industry
leader in analog, high bandwidth communications and Ethernet IC solutions,
today launched a new family of dual low dropout voltage linear regulators.
The MIC5380 and the MIC5381 are part of a new family of dual
LDOs offering low dropout voltage of 155mV@150mAmp, more than 60db Power
Supply Ripple Rejection (PSRR) and low quiescent current 32microA, in the
smallest possible form factor. This family is offered in a miniscule 1.0
mm x 1.0 mm 6 pin leadless thin MLF® package making them ideal for
today's most advanced and smallest portable applications possible including
cellular phones, RF power, camera modules, imaging sensors for digital
still and video cameras, PDAs, portable media players (PMP) and PC cameras.
The MIC5380 and the MIC5381 are currently available in volume
quantities, with pricing starting at $0.25 for 1K quantities. Samples can
now be ordered online at: http://www.micrel.com/ProductList.do.
"This tiny new LDO family sets a new benchmark on smallest possible package
form factor without compromising on specifications or electrical
performance," noted Andy Khayat, Micrel's director of marketing for
portable power products. "The MIC5380 and the MIC5381 both address the need for continuing
portable size reduction while offering significant advantages over
solutions currently on the market. This new addition of high performance
dual LDOs offer excellent overall performance and ultra-small foot print
for all space-constrained portable electronics."
The MIC5380 and the MIC5381 integrate two high performance LDOs
that offer exceptional transient response while requiring only small and
inexpensive 1microF ceramic capacitors. In addition, the MIC5381 offers an
auto discharge function. Both the MIC5380 and MIC5381 offer full protection circuitry
including current limit and thermal shutdown protection, and an operating
junction temperature range of -40degC to 125degC.
