BD15GC0VEFJ-ME2

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Overview

The BD15GC0VEFJ-ME2 is a fixed-output low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator manufactured by ROHM Semiconductor, designed for automotive applications. It provides a stable 1.5 V output with a maximum continuous current of 1 A. The device operates within an input voltage range of 4.5 V to 14 V and maintains performance across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +105°C. Key electrical specifications include a typical dropout voltage of 600 mV at full load, line regulation of 25 mV, and load regulation of 25 mV. The unit features high accuracy and is housed in an HTSOP-J8 surface-mount package.
