MIC37100/01/02
1A Low-Voltage µCap LDO Regulator
Features
General Description
• Fixed and Adjustable Output Voltages to 1.24V
The MIC37100, MIC37101, and MIC37102 are 1A low
dropout, linear voltage regulators that provide low
voltage, high current output from an extremely small
package. Utilizing Microchip’s proprietary Super βeta
PNP pass element, the MIC37100/01/02 offers
extremely low dropout (typically 280 mV at 1A) and low
ground current (typically 11 mA at 1A).
• µCap Regulator, 10 µF Ceramic Output Capacitor
Stable
• 280 mV Typical Dropout at 1A
- Ideal for 3.0V to 2.5V Conversion
- Ideal for 2.5V to 1.8V, 1.65V or 1.5V
Conversion
The MIC37100 is a fixed output regulator offered in the
SOT-223 package. The MIC37101 and MIC37102 are
fixed and adjustable regulators, respectively, in a
thermally enhanced power 8-pin SOIC (small outline
package). The MIC37102 is also available in the S-PAK
power package, for applications that require higher
power dissipation or higher operating ambient
temperatures.
• 1A Minimum Guaranteed Output Current
• 1% Initial Accuracy
• Low Ground Current
• Current Limiting and Thermal Shutdown
• Reversed Leakage Protection
• Fast Transient Response
• Low Profile SOT-223 Package
• Power SO-8 Package
The MIC37100/01/02 is ideal for PC add in cards that
need to convert from standard 5V to 3.3V, 3.3V to 2.5V
or 2.5V to 1.8V or lower. A guaranteed maximum
dropout voltage of 500 mV over all operating conditions
allows the MIC37100/01/02 to provide 2.5V from a
supply as low as 3V and 1.8V from a supply as low as
2.3V.
• S-PAK Package (MIC37102 Only)
Applications
• LDO Linear Regulator for PC Add In Cards
• PowerPC Power Supplies
• High Efficiency Linear Power Supplies
• SMPS Post Regulator
The MIC37100/01/02 is fully protected with overcurrent
limiting and thermal shutdown. Fixed output voltages of
1.5V, 1.65V, 1.8V, 2.5V and 3.3V are available on
MIC37100/01 with adjustable output voltages to 1.24V
on MIC37102.
• Multimedia and PC Processor Supplies
• Battery Chargers
• Low Voltage Microcontrollers and Digital Logic
