The MCP1826-3302E/ET from Microchip Technology is a fixed 3.3V low dropout linear regulator capable of delivering 1A of output current. With a low dropout voltage of 0.4V at full load and a quiescent current of 220 µA, it balances efficiency with stability. The DDPAK-5 package ensures good thermal performance for demanding applications. This regulator is suitable for a wide range of power management tasks where a clean, regulated 3.3V supply is required.
- High Current Capacity: 1A output supports power-hungry loads like FPGAs and processors.
- Low Dropout Voltage: 0.4V dropout at 1A allows operation from lower input rails, improving efficiency.
- Stable Output: 60dB PSRR at 100Hz reduces noise from input supply variations.
- Low Quiescent Current: 220 µA helps conserve power in battery-operated systems.
High-Current 3.3V Rail Generation
With a 1A output capability and low 0.4V dropout, this LDO is ideal for powering digital cores, FPGAs, and microcontrollers from a 5V or 3.6V input rail.
