Microchip Technology, Inc. Ic, Ldo, Adj, 300Ma, Sot-223-5; Output Type Microchip MCP1824T-ADJE/DC

The MCP1824 is a low dropout (LDO) linear regulator capable of delivering up to 300 mA of output current. It features an adjustable output voltage range from 0.8V to 5.0V, making it suitable for applications requiring low voltage regulation. The input voltage range is between 2.1V and 6.0V, with a typical dropout voltage of 200 mV at maximum load. The device operates with a low quiescent current of 120 µA, which is beneficial for battery-powered applications, and it can reduce to less than 0.1 µA in shutdown mode. The MCP1824 is designed to be stable with a minimum output capacitance of 1 µF, allowing for reduced size and cost in circuit design. It includes features such as short circuit current limiting and overtemperature protection, enhancing reliability during operation. The device is available in a 5-lead SOT-223 package, making it suitable for compact designs. Applications include high-speed driver chipsets, networking backplane cards, and portable computing devices.
