General Description
The MIC5256 is an efficient, precise CMOS voltage regulator. It offers better than 1% initial accuracy, extremely low-dropout voltage (typically 135mV at 150mA) and low ground current (typically 90µA) over load. The MIC5256 features an error flag that indicates an output fault condition such as overcurrent, thermal shutdown and dropout.
