Hi all,
I am drawing up some boards that needed a very small 5volt v-reg. At the moment Im planning on using the Micrel 5205. Size is the most important thing for me (SO23-5 is small!) and the only load will be a pic12f675 that will be triggering a few small mosfets so the 5205's 150mA should be enough.
1. How important is the bypass cap feature? I have a very clean source and I am not doing any thing at high freq and would rather not give up the real estate for another cap.
2. Datasheet recommends a tantalum cap or another cap with low ESR on the output with a value of 1uF or greater. I was planning on using 10uF aluminum electrolytic. This should work right?
3. Is there maybe another small vreg capable of 12v input that I should consider?
Thanks for all your continued help!
Brian
