IPS101C-SO-GLF-T

Overview

The IPS101C-SO-GLF-T is a single-channel, low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator manufactured by Microsemi Corporation. It provides a fixed output voltage of 3.3V with a maximum load current capability of 150mA. The device operates from an input voltage range of 2.7V to 6V and features a typical dropout voltage of 200mV at full load. Key electrical parameters include a line regulation of 0.04% and load regulation of 0.1%. The unit incorporates internal protection mechanisms such as thermal shutdown and current limiting to ensure reliable operation under fault conditions.

Feature Summary

• Provides stable regulated output voltage for sensitive analog and digital circuits
• Incorporates thermal shutdown and current limit protection for enhanced reliability
• Designed for low-noise performance suitable for RF and communication applications

Applications

• Portable battery-powered electronic devices
• RF modules and wireless communication systems
• Embedded control systems requiring clean power supplies

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number against official Microsemi documentation to confirm package type and marking codes. Ensure compatibility with your board layout regarding pin configuration and thermal requirements. Check for any specific environmental compliance certifications required for your region. Confirm availability through authorized distributors only to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 3.3V supply is needed with moderate current demands up to 150mA. Consider its low dropout characteristic for efficiency in battery-operated systems where input voltage may vary close to the output level. Evaluate the thermal performance based on expected ambient temperatures and PCB copper area for heat dissipation.

Part Context

This LDO regulator belongs to Microsemi's portfolio of power management solutions designed for compact and efficient electronics. It complements other voltage regulators in the series offering different output voltages or current ratings. The SOIC package allows for surface-mount assembly, fitting standard PCB footprints used in consumer and industrial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Microsemi substitution guides for verified equivalents. Potential alternatives may include other 3.3V LDOs with similar current ratings and package types from the same manufacturer family. Cross-reference pinouts and electrical specifications carefully before replacing.
