MCP1826 or MCP1826S is a very simple and easy to use LDO or Low Dropout Regulator from Microchip Technology. There are both fixed voltage and variable voltage versions available.
The company also makes custom chips.
It’s features are:
- 1000 mA Output Current Capability
- Input Operating Voltage Range: 2.3V to 6.0V
- Adjustable Output Voltage Range: 0.8V to 5.0V (MCP1826 only)
- Standard Fixed Output Voltages:
- 0.8V, 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.0V, 3.3V, 5.0V
- Low Dropout Voltage: 250 mV Typical at 1000 mA
- Typical Output Voltage Tolerance: 0.5%
- Stable with 1.0 μF Ceramic Output Capacitor
- Fast Response to Load Transients
- Low Supply Current: 120 μA (typ)
- Low Shutdown Supply Current: 0.1 μA (typ) (MCP1826 only)
- Fixed Delay on Power Good Output (MCP1826 only)
- Short Circuit Current Limiting and Overtemperature Protection
- TO-263-5 (DDPAK-5), TO-220-5, SOT-223-5 Package Options (MCP1826).
- TO-263-3 (DDPAK-3), TO-220-3, SOT-223-3 Package Options (MCP1826S).
MCP1826 has a
POWERGOOD / ADJUST (depending on version) and SHUTDOWN. The
MCP-1826S version is more simple and has
only IN, OUT, GND
