Microchip MIC5231-5.0YM5-TR is a fixed 5 V micropower low-dropout regulator with 10 mA rated output, 0.65 microamp typical quiescent current, logic enable, and stable operation without a mandatory output capacitor.
The exact 5.0YM5-TR suffix, electrical limits, M5 SOT-23-5 pinout, 3000-piece reel, and LM50 marking were checked against Microchip data sheet DS20007026A.
MIC5231-5.0YM5-TR provides a fixed 5 V rail for keep-alive and low-current bias loads. It operates from supplies up to 12 V, delivers 10 mA rated output current, and uses only 0.65 microamp typical ground current.
Very low ground current supports long-duration keep-alive rails.
The regulator remains stable without an output capacitor.
An active-high control input provides a near-zero-current shutdown mode.
The M5 package suits space-constrained low-power designs.
Initial output accuracy is better than 2%; full specified variation is ±3%.
The rated load range extends from very light loads through 10 mA.
Typical dropout is 150 mV at 10 mA.
Ceramic or tantalum capacitors may be used to improve transient response.
The YM5 suffix identifies the industrial-temperature five-lead Microchip M5 SOT-23 package. The catalog SC-74A / SOT-753 registration represents this same five-lead outline. The TR suffix specifies 3000 pieces per tape-and-reel.

The manufacturer drawing controls all dimensions and land geometry.
Pin numbering follows the Microchip M5 SOT-23 top view.

Match the fixed 5 V output, 10 mA rating, 12 V maximum operating input, EN/GND/IN/OUT/NC pin order, enable thresholds, SOT-23-5 footprint, lack of current limit and thermal shutdown, capacitor behavior, temperature grade, and reel quantity.
Other MIC5231 voltage options are not direct voltage replacements. No internal alternative link is added without a separately verified, published LCDChip match.
Microchip lists MIC5231 as in production. The exact MIC5231-5.0YM5-TR order code denotes 5 V output, -40 to 125 degrees C temperature grade, five-lead SOT-23, 3000-piece reel, and LM50 device marking.
Maintain low-current clock rails with minimal standby drain.
Support memory-retention rails without a minimum load.
Provide an enabled 5 V bias rail for low-duty-cycle systems.
Clean up a higher-voltage converter output at light load.
Verify the complete MIC5231-5.0YM5-TR order code, Microchip identity, LM50 top marking, five-lead SOT-23 dimensions, pin-one orientation, 3000-piece reel label, Pb-free package documentation, and lot/date traceability.
No. The regulator is stable without one; 1 microfarad or more is recommended when improved transient response is needed.
No. Microchip explicitly says not to leave EN floating.
No. The pass element self-limits through its resistance, but the application must keep junction temperature below 125 degrees C.
Add 0.1 microfarad or more from IN to GND when the source lead exceeds 20 cm or the device is battery supplied.
Before release, verify DS20007026A, the exact 5.0YM5-TR suffix, M5 pinout, input headroom, enable levels, load and line conditions, transient requirements, junction temperature, reel documentation, and package image. Do not depend on protections this device does not provide.
