BD50GA5MEFJ-ME2

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

The BD50GA5MEFJ-ME2 is a single-output fixed positive LDO voltage regulator from ROHM Semiconductor, designed for automotive applications. It provides a fixed 5 V output with a maximum current of 500 mA. The device operates within an input voltage range of 4.5 V to 14 V and features a typical dropout voltage of 600 mV at full load. It is housed in an HTSOP-J8 surface-mount package and supports an operating temperature range from -25°C to +85°C. The regulator includes protection circuits such as thermal shutdown and overcurrent protection.

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

Verify the specific suffix ME2 against the official ROHM datasheet to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics match your design requirements. Confirm that the -25°C to +85°C operating temperature range meets your environmental specifications. Check for any recent lifecycle status updates, as automotive components may undergo obsolescence notices. Ensure compatibility with your PCB footprint for the HTSOP-J8 package.

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

Select this component when a stable 5 V rail is required for automotive loads drawing up to 500 mA. It is suitable for designs needing AEC-Q100 certification and integrated protection features. Consider alternative packages or higher current variants if the HTSOP-J8 form factor or 500 mA limit is insufficient for the target application.

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

This part belongs to the BDxxGA5WEFJ series of high-accuracy LDO regulators manufactured by ROHM Semiconductor. These devices are specifically engineered for automotive use, offering robust performance in noisy electrical environments. The series shares common packaging and protection features while varying in output voltage and current capabilities.

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

Check for direct cross-references in ROHM's automotive LDO portfolio. Verify that any substitute maintains the same HTSOP-J8 package, 500 mA current rating, and 5 V fixed output. Ensure the replacement also holds AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive compliance.
