General Description 
The MIC5373/83 is a triple output device with three 200mA 
LDOs  which  is  ideal  for  application  processor  support  in 
mobile  platforms.  The  MIC5373  provides  independent 
control active high enables  for  each of  the  200mA LDOs. 
The  MIC5383  provides  active  low  enables.  Both  the 
MIC5373 and  MIC5383  are  available  in  the  tiny  2.5mm x 
2.5mm Thin MLF® package. 
The MIC5373/83 is designed for high input ripple rejection 
(high PSRR) and provides low output noise making it ideal 
for powering sensitive RF circuitry such as GPS, WiFi and 
Bluetooth applications. The MIC5373/83 also incorporates 
a  power-on-reset  (POR)  supervisor  with  adjustable  delay 
time  set  by  an  external  capacitor,  and  an  independent 
input pin to monitor any voltage level. Once high, the POR 
output can be asserted low again by enabling the manual 
reset (MR) pin. When the MR pin is restored low, the POR 
output  will  re-time  the  delay  set  by  the  external  delay 
capacitor. 
The MIC5373/83 operates  with very  small  ceramic  output 
capacitors to reduce board space and component cost. It 
is  available  in  various  fixed  output  voltages.  The 
MIC5373/83 has a junction temperature range from −40°C 
to 125°C.
