Microchip Technology, Inc. Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators MIC5236-1.8BM

The MIC5236-1.8BM is a low quiescent current linear voltage regulator designed for applications requiring a stable output voltage with minimal power consumption. It operates with an input voltage range of 2.3V to 30V and can deliver up to 150mA of output current. The device features a low dropout voltage of 300mV at full load, making it suitable for battery-powered systems and applications where efficiency is critical. This regulator is stable with both ceramic and tantalum output capacitors, requiring only a 1.0¬µF capacitor for stability. It includes several protective features such as thermal shutdown, current limit, overvoltage shutdown, load-dump protection, and reverse battery protection, enhancing its reliability in various environments. The MIC5236-1.8BM is available in thermally enhanced SOIC-8 and MSOP-8 packages, with a junction temperature range of -40¬8C to +125¬8C, making it suitable for automotive and portable applications.
