Microchip Technology, Inc. Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators MIC39500-2.5WT

The MIC39500-2.5WT is a low-dropout linear voltage regulator capable of delivering a guaranteed output current of 5A. It features a dropout voltage of 400mV at 5A, allowing it to efficiently convert input voltages as low as 3V to a stable 2.5V output. The device operates with a low ground current of approximately 70mA at full load, making it suitable for applications requiring high efficiency. This regulator is designed with robust protection features, including overcurrent limiting, thermal shutdown, and reversed-battery protection. It is available in a TO-220 package and is stable with only 47µF of output capacitance, which aids in achieving fast transient response. The MIC39500-2.5WT is ideal for use in PC add-in cards, low voltage digital ICs, and other applications where reliable voltage regulation is critical.
