Microchip Technology, Inc. Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators TC1263-5.0VOA

The TC1263-5.0VOA is a fixed-output CMOS low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator designed for battery-operated systems. It provides a maximum output current of 500 mA and features a very low dropout voltage of approximately 350 mV at full load, which helps to extend battery life. The device operates with an input voltage range of 2.7V to 6.0V and has a high output voltage accuracy of ¬±0.5%. This regulator includes overcurrent and overtemperature protection, ensuring reliable operation under varying conditions. It also features a shutdown (SHDN) input for power management and an ERROR output that can function as a low battery detector in the SOIC package. The TC1263 is stable with a minimum output capacitor of 1 ¬µF and is available in multiple package types, including 8-Pin SOIC, 5-Pin TO-220, and 5-Pin DDPAK. The operating temperature range is from -40¬8C to +125¬8C, making it suitable for a variety of applications, including portable computers, medical instruments, and cellular devices.
