Working Principles

The MIC5013BN is a low dropout voltage regulator that regulates the output voltage with minimal voltage drop between the input and output. It achieves this by utilizing a PNP pass transistor in conjunction with an error amplifier and feedback circuitry. The error amplifier compares the output voltage with a reference voltage and adjusts the pass transistor accordingly to maintain a stable output voltage.
