The MCP1826-ADJE/ET from Microchip Technology is an adjustable low dropout linear regulator with a 0.8V reference and 1A output current capability. It features a low dropout voltage of 0.4V at full load and a quiescent current of 220µA, making it suitable for battery-powered and high-efficiency designs. The DDPAK-5 package offers robust thermal performance, while 60dB PSRR at 100Hz ensures clean output for sensitive analog and digital circuits.
- Adjustable Output: Flexible voltage setting from 0.8V up, ideal for multi-rail systems.
- High Current: 1A output supports demanding loads.
- Low Dropout: 0.4V at 1A minimizes power loss and heat.
- Low Quiescent Current: 220µA extends battery life.
- Good PSRR: 60dB at 100Hz filters noise for clean power.
Adjustable Power Supplies for Custom Rails
The adjustable output (down to 0.8V reference) allows designers to set any voltage from 0.8V to near input, making it flexible for powering FPGAs, DSPs, and ASICs with varying core voltages.
Battery-Powered Portable Devices
With 220µA quiescent current and 1A capability, it suits smartphones, tablets, and portable instruments where both low standby power and high burst current are needed.
Noise-Sensitive RF and Analog Front-Ends
The 60dB PSRR at 100Hz reduces supply noise for RF transceivers, PLLs, and high-resolution ADCs, improving signal integrity in communication systems.
Post-Regulation for High-Efficiency Converters
Use after a buck converter to provide a clean, adjustable rail for mixed-signal boards, leveraging low dropout to maintain regulation during load transients.
Automotive ECUs and Sensors
The DDPAK-5 package handles thermal stress in engine control units and sensor modules, providing stable adjustable voltage for microcontrollers and actuators.
Industrial Process Control
Adjustable output enables precise voltage scaling for industrial transmitters, PLCs, and data acquisition systems, ensuring accuracy over temperature.
