Post by thread:Lowest quiescent current 5V regulator found

I remember thread about some battery powered equipment which called for 5V regulator with lowest possible qiescent current. In the last issue of EDP I have found the MIC5230 by MICREL: 5V @ 10 mA 1uA quiescent current Low dropout (13 mV @ 1 mA) 3% accuracy 5pin SOT23 package Does not require output capacitor (but the PIC will certainly need one). Their other power management products are also worth checking - micropower charge pump with no external capacitors, LDO regulator with undervoltage detector, P-chanel high side swith, all in SOT 23 package.
