Microchip Technology, Inc. Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators TC1265-2.5VETTR

The TC1265-2.5VETTR is a fixed-output CMOS low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator designed for battery-operated systems. It provides a stable output voltage of 2.5V with a maximum output current of 800mA. The device features a very low dropout voltage, typically around 450mV at full load, which enhances efficiency in power-sensitive applications. It operates with a total supply current of approximately 80µA at full load, significantly lower than traditional bipolar regulators. This regulator includes built-in overcurrent and overtemperature protection, ensuring reliable operation under varying conditions. The TC1265 is stable with an output capacitor as low as 1µF, making it suitable for compact designs. It is available in multiple package types, including 5-Pin DDPAK, which is ideal for applications requiring efficient thermal management. The device is suitable for a variety of applications, including portable computers, medical instruments, and cellular devices.
