MIC5305-2.8BML-TR Linear Voltage Regulator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MIC5305-2.8BML-TR is a linear voltage regulator IC from Microchip Technology designed for positive fixed output applications. This device delivers 150mA output current at a fixed 2.8V output voltage in a compact 6-DFN (2x2) surface mount package. The regulator integrates over-current and over-temperature protection features with an enable control input.

The MIC5305-2.8BML-TR is currently discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Identifying equivalent substitute parts ensures design continuity and maintains supply chain reliability for applications requiring this specific voltage regulation topology and performance characteristics.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MIC5305-2.8BML-TR are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the MIC5305 product family. The substitution criteria are:

• Output voltage: 2.8V fixed
• Output current capability: 150mA
• Maximum input voltage: 5.5V
• Quiescent current: 150 µA
• Protection features: Over-current and over-temperature protection
• Control features: Enable input
• Package type: 6-DFN (2x2) surface mount
• Thermal operating range: -40°C to 125°C

Parts meeting these parameters are electrically and mechanically interchangeable. Differences in product status, RoHS compliance, and packaging format (tape & reel) do not affect functional substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MIC5305-2.8YML-TR is the direct substitute for the MIC5305-2.8BML-TR. Both parts are manufactured by Microchip Technology and share identical electrical specifications and package configuration.

The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance. The MIC5305-2.8YML-TR is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the MIC5305-2.8BML-TR is discontinued and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or ongoing production requiring regulatory compliance, the MIC5305-2.8YML-TR is the appropriate selection. Both parts are functionally equivalent for applications requiring a 2.8V, 150mA linear regulator with enable control and integrated protection features.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the MIC5305-2.8BML-TR and MIC5305-2.8YML-TR pin-compatible?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 6-DFN (2x2) package with identical pinout and electrical characteristics. Direct board-level substitution is possible without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between the BML and YML suffixes?

A: The suffix designates the tape & reel packaging format and manufacturing date code series. The electrical and functional specifications remain identical between variants.

Q: Can I use the MIC5305-2.8YML-TR as a replacement in existing designs using the MIC5305-2.8BML-TR?

A: Yes. The MIC5305-2.8YML-TR is electrically and mechanically interchangeable. No design changes are required.

Q: Why is the MIC5305-2.8BML-TR discontinued?

A: Product discontinuation is a manufacturing decision by Microchip Technology. The MIC5305-2.8YML-TR remains in active production and serves the same application requirements.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect functional performance?

A: RoHS compliance relates to material composition and environmental regulations, not electrical performance. Both parts deliver identical voltage regulation and protection characteristics.

Q: What is the MSL rating and why is it relevant?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and requires no special moisture control during storage or handling. Both parts share this rating.
