Microchip Technology, Inc. Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators MCP1727-1202E/SN

The MCP1727-1202E/SN is a low dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator capable of delivering an output current of up to 1.5A. It operates within an input voltage range of 2.3V to 6.0V and provides a fixed output voltage of 1.2V. The device features a low dropout voltage of 330mV at full load and a typical output voltage tolerance of 0.5%. It is designed to be stable with a minimum output capacitance of 1.0µF, making it suitable for applications requiring low output noise. The MCP1727 is characterized by a low quiescent current of 120µA, which decreases to 0.1µA in shutdown mode, making it ideal for battery-powered devices. It includes features such as short circuit current limiting, overtemperature protection, and a power good output that indicates when the output voltage is within regulation. The device is available in both SOIC-8 and DFN-8 package options, providing flexibility for various design requirements. Applications include high-speed driver chipsets, networking backplane cards, and portable computing devices.
