MCP1702
250 mA Low Quiescent Current LDO Regulator
Features
Description
• 2.0 µA Quiescent Current (typical)
The MCP1702 is a family of CMOS low dropout (LDO)
voltage regulators that can deliver up to 250 mA of
current while consuming only 2.0 µA of quiescent
current (typical). The input operating range is specified
from 2.7V to 13.2V, making it an ideal choice for two to
six primary cell battery-powered applications, 9V
alkaline and one or two cell Li-Ion-powered
applications.
• Input Operating Voltage Range: 2.7V to 13.2V
• 250 mA Output Current for Output Voltages ≥ 2.5V
• 200 mA Output Current for Output Voltages < 2.5V
• Low Dropout (LDO) voltage
- 625 mV typical @ 250 mA (VOUT = 2.8V)
• 0.4% Typical Output Voltage Tolerance
• Standard Output Voltage Options:
The MCP1702 is capable of delivering 250 mA with
only 625 mV (typical) of input to output voltage
differential (VOUT = 2.8V). The output voltage tolerance
of the MCP1702 is typically ±0.4% at +25°C and ±3%
maximum over the operating junction temperature
range of -40°C to +125°C. Line regulation is ±0.1%
typical at +25°C.

• Stable with 1.0 µF to 22 µF Output Capacitor
• Short-Circuit Protection
Output voltages available for the MCP1702 range from
1.2V to 5.0V. The LDO output is stable when using only
1 µF of output capacitance. Ceramic, tantalum or
aluminum electrolytic capacitors can all be used for
