Arduino, Eagle PCB, ESP 8266, , , , , , , ,
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                                                                      MCP-1826S                                                                    MCP-1826 Here are the Eagle files for  MCP-1826S   and    MCP-1826 Here is the Datasheet

Eagle Library for XC6210 LDO Voltage Regulator SOT-89-5 Package

Eagle PCB, , , , ,

XC6210 is a LDO Voltage regulator from Torex Semiconductor. It is available for various preset voltages starting from 0.80V to 5.00V at 0.05v increments. It is capable of delivering 700mA. The 3.3v version has typical drop of 70mV at 100mA. Here is the datasheet attached.

The chip is a bit delicate, I damaged two chips while soldering back after desoldering. And strangely in both cases the same pin broke.

The attached eagle library is for the SOT-89-5 package – XC6210 SOT-89-5 Eagle Library

Eagle PCB Library for MCP1826 SOT-223-5 Package

Eagle PCB, , , , ,

MCP1826 is a LDO Voltage Regulator from Microchip. Here is the datasheet attached. It comes in various packages. It comes in various configurations. The attached Eagle Library is for the SOT-223-5 package. That package has 6 pins including the tab and has “Chip Enable” and “Power Good” function. It is capable of delivering 1A. And at 1 amp the drop will be typically 250mV.
