MIC61300
Low Input Voltage, Single-Supply
High-Current LDO
General Description
Features
The Micrel MIC61300 is a 3A output, low input voltage,
single-supply regulator. This regulator operates over a
single input voltage range of 1.1V to 3.6V and offers an
ultra-low dropout less than 350mV over the entire
operating temperature range.
• Single VIN rail: 1.1V to 3.6V
• Output voltage accuracy: ±2.5% over temperature
• Typical dropout of 150mV at room temperature
–
Maximum dropout of 350mV at full load over
temperature
The MIC61300 is designed to drive digital circuits requiring
low voltages at high currents such as DSPs, FPGAs,
microcontrollers, etc. The regulator is available as a 1.0V
fixed-output voltage option or as an adjustable-output
voltage option.
• Output voltage adjustable down to 0.5V
• Soft-start control via external capacitor
• Excellent line and load regulation
• Logic controlled shutdown
The MIC61300 is stable with a 47µF, low-ESR ceramic
output capacitor, and includes protection features such as
thermal shutdown, current limiting and logic enable.
• Thermal-shutdown and current-limit protection
• 10-pin 3mm × 3mm MLF® package
• 10-pin ePad MSOP package
The MIC61300 is offered in two different packages: a low-
profile, leadless 10-pin 3mm x 3mm MLF® and a 10-pin
ePad MSOP. The MIC61300 has an operating junction
temperature range of −40°C to +125°C.
