MIC29300-5.0WU

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

The MIC29300-5.0WU is a fixed-output linear low-dropout regulator manufactured by Microchip Technology, delivering a stable 5 V output with a maximum current capacity of 3 A. It operates within an input voltage range of 2.3 V to 26 V and features a typical dropout voltage of 370 mV at full load, with a maximum of 600 mV. The device provides high precision with line regulation of 0.06% and load regulation of 0.2%, ensuring accurate power delivery. Packaged in a surface-mount D2PAK-3 (TO-263-3) format, it supports operation from -40°C to +125°C.
