BA178M18FP is listed in the Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators range at ChipApex. The manufacturer field lists Rohm Semiconductor. Its product description is IC REG LINEAR 18V 500MA TO252-3. Review the specifications below when checking this part for your BOM.
The BA178M18FP is a fixed positive linear voltage regulator from the ROHM BA178M series, delivering a nominal output of 18 V with a maximum continuous current of 500 mA. It operates within an input voltage range of 21 V to 33 V and utilizes a TO-252-3 surface-mount package. The device features line regulation of 10 mV and load regulation of 20 mV, ensuring stable performance under varying conditions. It supports an operating temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C and includes thermal shutdown and overcurrent protection circuits.
Verify the specific suffix (e.g., -E2) against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm RoHS compliance and exact pinout configuration. Ensure the selected variant matches the required thermal dissipation capabilities for the intended application environment. Cross-reference the part number with official ROHM documentation to avoid counterfeit components.
Select this component when a fixed 18 V output at up to 500 mA is required in a surface-mount format. Consider the thermal resistance of the TO-252-3 package and ensure adequate heatsinking if the input-output differential voltage results in significant power dissipation. Verify that the minimum input voltage requirement of 21 V aligns with the available supply rails.
This regulator belongs to the BA178M series, which offers 500 mA output capability in various packages including TO-220CP and TO-252. It serves as a surface-mount alternative to through-hole regulators, maintaining similar electrical characteristics while enabling automated assembly processes. The series is designed for general-purpose voltage regulation tasks requiring moderate current capacity.
BA178M18FP-E2 is a verified equivalent variant with identical electrical specifications and RoHS compliance.
