The MCP1826S-5002E/AB from Microchip Technology is a fixed 5V 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 220µA, it offers an excellent balance of performance and efficiency. The TO-220-3 package ensures robust thermal management, while 60dB PSRR at 100Hz provides clean, stable power for a wide range of digital and analog applications.

  • Standard 5V Output: Compatible with a wide range of legacy and modern ICs.
  • High Current: 1A output supports multiple peripherals.
  • Low Dropout: 0.4V at 1A allows operation from 5.4V inputs.
  • Low Quiescent Current: 220µA helps maximize battery life.
  • Excellent PSRR: 60dB at 100Hz reduces supply noise.
