The Microchip MCP1826T-2502E/ET is a fixed 2.5V low dropout linear regulator capable of delivering up to 1A of output current. With a dropout voltage of just 0.4V at full load and a quiescent current of 220 μA, it offers an efficient solution for battery-powered and industrial applications. The DDPAK-5 package ensures robust thermal performance, while the 60dB PSRR at 100Hz provides clean, stable power for sensitive electronics.
- High Current Capacity: 1A output supports power-hungry loads like FPGAs and processors without needing multiple regulators.
- Low Dropout Voltage: 0.4V dropout at 1A allows operation from batteries with minimal headroom, extending battery life.
- Excellent Ripple Rejection: 60dB PSRR at 100Hz ensures clean output for analog and RF circuits, reducing noise interference.
- Thermally Efficient Package: DDPAK-5 package dissipates heat effectively, enabling reliable operation in high-temperature environments.
High-Current Battery-Powered Devices
With a 1A output capability and a low 0.4V dropout, the MCP1826T-2502E/ET efficiently regulates power from a 3.6V Li-ion battery down to a stable 2.5V rail for processors and RF transceivers, maximizing usable battery life.
FPGA and DSP Core Supplies
Modern FPGAs and DSPs require precise, low-noise core voltages. This regulator provides a clean 2.5V output with 60dB PSRR at 100Hz, reducing supply-induced jitter and logic errors in high-performance digital systems.
Automotive Infotainment Systems
The DDPAK-5 package offers excellent thermal dissipation for under-hood or dashboard environments. The 1A current rating supports multiple peripheral loads, while the fixed 2.5V output suits legacy logic and sensor interfaces.
Industrial Sensor Arrays
In industrial settings with 3.3V or 5V buses, this LDO provides a stable 2.5V reference for analog-to-digital converters and sensor bridges, ensuring measurement accuracy despite input fluctuations.
Networking Equipment
For routers and switches requiring a dedicated 2.5V I/O supply, the MCP1826T-2502E/ET delivers consistent voltage with low ripple, supporting reliable high-speed data transmission.
