Microchip Technology, Inc. Voltage Regulators - Linear MCP1727-1802E/SN

The MCP1727-1802E/SN is a low dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator capable of delivering up to 1.5A of output current. It operates within an input voltage range of 2.3V to 6.0V and offers an adjustable output voltage range from 0.8V to 5.0V, with several fixed output voltage options available. The device features a low dropout voltage of 330mV at 1.5A and a typical output voltage tolerance of 0.5%. It is designed to be stable with a minimum of 1.0µF ceramic output capacitance, which helps reduce overall solution size and cost. The MCP1727 is characterized by a low quiescent current of 120µA and a shutdown supply current of just 0.1µA, making it suitable for battery-powered applications. 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 3x3 DFN-8 package options, providing flexibility for various design requirements. This regulator is particularly well-suited for applications requiring high current at low output voltages, such as in portable computing and networking devices.
