MCP1802T-6002I/OT

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

The MCP1802T-6002I/OT is a fixed-output low dropout linear regulator manufactured by Microchip Technology. It provides a nominal output voltage of 6.0V with a maximum continuous output current of 300 mA. The device operates within an input voltage range of 2.0V to 10.0V and features a typical quiescent current of 25 µA. It includes a shutdown pin that reduces standby current to 0.01 µA. The regulator offers high power supply ripple rejection of 70 dB at 10 kHz and incorporates overcurrent protection with foldback. It is housed in a SOT-23-5 package and supports ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic output capacitors.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Feature Summary

• Provides stable regulation with a minimum output capacitance requirement of 1 µF, supporting ceramic, tantalum, and aluminum electrolytic types.
• Integrates a shutdown control function to disable the output and minimize quiescent current consumption during standby periods.
• Includes internal current limiting and foldback circuitry to protect against short circuits and excessive load demands.

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

Verify the specific suffix '6002' confirms the 6.0V fixed output variant before procurement. Confirm the 'I' designation matches the required industrial temperature range specifications for the target application environment. Ensure the 'OT' suffix aligns with the required SOT-23-5 surface mount packaging configuration.

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

Select this component when a fixed 6.0V rail is required from a 2.0V to 10.0V source. Evaluate thermal dissipation capabilities based on the maximum ambient temperature and expected load current. Verify that the input source impedance remains low enough to maintain stability without requiring additional input capacitance beyond standard recommendations.
