General Description

The MIC5208 is a dual linear voltage regulator with very low dropout voltage (typically 20mV at light loads and 250mV at 50mA), very low ground current (225µA at 10mA output), and better than 3 initial accuracy. It also features individual logic-compatible enable/shutdown control inputs.
