Microchip Technology, Inc. Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators MIC2951-03YMM-TR

The MIC2951-03YMM-TR is a low-dropout linear voltage regulator capable of delivering up to 150mA output current. It features a fixed output voltage of 5V with a typical accuracy of 1.0%. The device operates over a wide junction temperature range from -40¬8C to +125¬8C, making it suitable for various applications, including automotive electronics, cellular phones, and battery-powered equipment. This regulator is designed with extremely low quiescent current and a low dropout voltage, typically 250mV at 100mA, which helps prolong battery life. It includes features such as current and thermal limiting, an error flag for output dropout indication, and a logic-controlled shutdown function. The MIC2951-03YMM-TR requires only 1.5¬µF for stability and can withstand unregulated DC input voltages, including reverse battery conditions and positive transients up to 60V. Engineers may find this product beneficial for high-efficiency linear power supplies and as a voltage reference in various electronic circuits.
