Microchip Technology, Inc. Voltage Regulators - Linear MCP1825-3302E/ET

The MCP1825-3302E/ET is a low dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator capable of delivering up to 500 mA of output current. It operates within an input voltage range of 2.1V to 6.0V and offers an adjustable output voltage range from 0.8V to 5.0V. The device features a low dropout voltage of 210 mV at 500 mA, making it suitable for applications requiring efficient voltage regulation with minimal loss. This regulator is designed for stability with a ceramic output capacitor as low as 1.0 µF, which helps reduce overall system size and cost. It has a low quiescent current of 120 µA, which is advantageous for battery-powered devices, and a shutdown mode that reduces current consumption to 0.1 µA. The MCP1825 also includes features such as short circuit current limiting, overtemperature protection, and a power good output for monitoring voltage regulation. Available in multiple package options including TO-263-5, TO-220-5, and SOT-223-5, the MCP1825-3302E/ET is suitable for various applications including high-speed driver chipsets, networking backplane cards, and portable computing devices.
