MCT1117C-5.0-TP

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

The MCT1117C-5.0-TP is a fixed-output low dropout linear regulator manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It provides a stable 5.0 V output with a maximum continuous current of 1.2 A. The device utilizes an SOT-223-3 surface-mount package and operates within a temperature range of -20 °C to +125 °C. Key electrical specifications include a typical power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) of 62 dB, a quiescent current of 2 mA, and a dropout voltage of 1.3 V. It features positive polarity and is designed for efficient voltage regulation in compact electronic applications.

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

Verify the specific suffix 'TP' indicates the tape-and-reel packaging configuration as documented by MCC. Confirm that the SOT-223-3 footprint matches your PCB design requirements. Ensure input voltage remains within the specified maximum limits to maintain proper regulation and thermal performance during operation.

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

Select this component when a fixed 5.0 V output is required with moderate current demands up to 1.2 A. Consider the SOT-223-3 package constraints regarding thermal dissipation capabilities. Evaluate the 1.3 V dropout voltage against your minimum input-to-output differential requirements to ensure stable regulation under all operating conditions.

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

This part belongs to the MCT1117C series of low dropout regulators from Micro Commercial Components. The series offers various fixed output voltages including 1.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V options. All variants share similar electrical characteristics such as 1.2 A current capacity and PSRR performance, differing primarily in their regulated output voltage levels.

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

Compatible substitutes within the same family include MCT1117C-3.3-TP and MCT1117C-1.5-TP if different voltage levels are acceptable. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substituting with other manufacturers' LDOs offering similar 5.0 V outputs.
