The Microchip MCP1826-3002E/AT is a fixed 3.0V low dropout linear regulator capable of sourcing 1A. It features a low 0.4V dropout at full load and a quiescent current of only 220µA, making it suitable for battery-operated and high-efficiency systems. The TO-220-5 package ensures excellent thermal performance for demanding applications.
- High Current Capacity: 1A output supports power-hungry loads without external pass transistors.
- Low Dropout: 0.4V at 1A allows operation from 3.4V input, maximizing efficiency.
- Excellent Ripple Rejection: 60dB PSRR at 100Hz cleans noisy input rails.
- Low Quiescent Current: 220µA ground current improves battery life in portable designs.
- Robust Thermal Package: TO-220-5 dissipates heat effectively for continuous operation.
High-Current 3.3V to 3.0V Conversion
With 1A capability and 0.4V dropout, the MCP1826-3002E/AT efficiently steps down from a 3.3V rail to a stable 3.0V supply for logic and analog circuits.
Post-Regulation for Switching Supplies
Its 60dB PSRR at 100Hz effectively filters ripple from DC-DC converters, providing clean power for sensitive audio or RF stages.
Battery-Powered Industrial Equipment
The low 220µA quiescent current extends battery life in always-on systems while maintaining 1A peak capability for actuators or transmitters.
Automotive Sensor Power
The TO-220-5 package allows easy heatsinking for under-hood sensors requiring stable 3.0V from a 5V or battery rail.
FPGA and DSP Core Supply
Many FPGAs need a precise 3.0V core; this LDO provides tight regulation and fast transient response for digital loads.
Bench Power Supply Output Stage
As a final linear stage, it delivers clean, low-noise 3.0V with up to 1A for prototyping and test equipment.
