MCP1727-3302E/SN

A 1.5A Low Dropout (LDO) linear regulator that provides high current and low output voltages in a very small package. Comes in a fixed (or adjustable) output voltage version, with an output voltage range of 0.8V to 5.0V. The 1.5A output current capability, combined with the low output voltage capability, make it a good choice for new sub-1.8V output voltage LDO applications that have high current demands. Is stable using ceramic output capacitors that inherently provide lower output noise and reduce the size and cost of the entire regulator solution. Only 1μF of output capacitance is needed to stabilize the LDO. Using CMOS construction, the quiescent current consumed is typically less than 120μA over the entire input voltage range, making it attractive for portable computing applications that demand high output current. When shut down, the quiescent current is reduced to less than 0.1μA. The scaled-down output voltage is internally monitored and a power good (PWRGD) output is provided when the output is within 92% of regulation (typical). An external capacitor can be used on the CDELAY pin to adjust the delay from 200μs to 300ms. The overtemperature and short circuit current-limiting provide additional protection for the LDO during system fault conditions.
