The MCP1826T-2502E/DC from Microchip Technology is a fixed 2.5V output, low dropout linear regulator capable of delivering 1A of current. With a typical dropout voltage of only 0.4V at full load, it is well-suited for battery-powered and high-efficiency applications. The device features a low 220 µA quiescent current and 60dB PSRR at 100Hz, ensuring stable and clean power delivery. Housed in a compact SOT-223-5 package, it offers a reliable solution for a wide range of power management needs.
- High Efficiency: Low 0.4V dropout at 1A minimizes power dissipation, improving system efficiency and reducing heat generation.
- Extended Battery Life: Low 220 µA quiescent current reduces standby power consumption, making it ideal for portable devices.
- Clean Output: 60dB PSRR at 100Hz effectively filters input ripple, providing a stable supply for sensitive analog and digital circuits.
- Robust Thermal Performance: SOT-223-5 package with exposed pad ensures excellent heat dissipation for reliable 1A operation.
High-Current Portable Devices
Powering FPGAs, DSPs, and microcontrollers that require a stable 2.5V rail at up to 1A. The low dropout voltage ensures efficient operation even when the input supply is close to 2.9V.
Battery-Powered Equipment
Ideal for Li-Ion or 2-cell alkaline battery systems. The 220 µA quiescent current and low dropout extend battery life by allowing the battery to discharge deeper before the regulator drops out.
Networking and Telecom Infrastructure
Provides a clean, low-noise 2.5V supply for SerDes, PHY, and logic circuits. The 60dB PSRR at 100Hz effectively rejects power supply ripple from switching converters.
Industrial Sensors and Transducers
Maintains a precise 2.5V reference for analog sensor interfaces. The fixed output eliminates the need for external resistor dividers, reducing component count and drift.
Automotive Infotainment Systems
Supplies a regulated 2.5V rail for audio codecs and display drivers. The SOT-223-5 package provides good thermal performance for continuous 1A operation in confined spaces.
Post-Regulation for DC-DC Converters
Used as a low-noise post-regulator after a buck converter. The 60dB PSRR at 100Hz attenuates switching noise, providing a clean analog supply for precision circuits.
