The Microchip MCP1826ST-5002E/DB is a fixed 5.0V low dropout linear regulator capable of delivering 1A of output current. With a typical dropout voltage of only 0.4V at full load, it efficiently regulates from input voltages as low as 5.4V. The device features a low 220 µA quiescent current, making it suitable for battery-operated equipment. It includes short-circuit protection, thermal shutdown, and is available in a compact SOT-223-3 package for space-constrained designs.
- High Efficiency at Low Headroom: 0.4V dropout at 1A allows operation from 5.4V input, reducing power dissipation.
- Extended Battery Life: 220 µA quiescent current minimizes standby drain in portable devices.
- Robust Protection: Built-in thermal shutdown and current limiting safeguard the regulator and load.
- Stable Output: 60dB PSRR at 100Hz filters input ripple for clean 5V supply.
