BD25HC0MEFJ-ME2

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

The BD25HC0MEFJ-ME2 is a single-output positive fixed low-dropout linear regulator manufactured by ROHM Semiconductor. It provides a stable 2.5 V output with a maximum current capacity of 1 A. The device operates within an input voltage range of 4.5 V to 8 V and features a typical dropout voltage of 600 mV, reaching a maximum of 900 mV. Designed for automotive environments, it holds AEC-Q100 qualification and functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The component is housed in an 8-pin HTSOP-J surface-mount package.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ME2 to confirm the tape-and-reel packaging configuration and pin assignment. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation before integration. Check the lifecycle status as NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs) to assess long-term availability risks for production planning.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 2.5 V rail is required with up to 1 A load capability. Ensure the input supply remains between 4.5 V and 8 V to maintain proper regulation. Consider the 8-pin HTSOP-J package constraints for thermal management and PCB layout requirements in space-sensitive designs.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Part Context

This part belongs to the BD25HC0MEFJ series of automotive-grade LDO regulators. It shares the same package and core topology with other variants in the family that offer different fixed output voltages or adjustable configurations. The series is designed to meet stringent automotive quality and performance standards.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include BD25HA3MEFJ-ME2 (300 mA output) or BD25GA3MEFJ-ME2 if lower current is acceptable. For identical 1 A performance, verify equivalent voltage ratings and package compatibility with other BD25HC0MEFJ variants.
