MIC29712WT

Overview

The MIC29712WT is a specialized integrated circuit designed as a converter and Intel Pentium Plus regulator. It features a single output with an adjustable voltage range of 1.25V to 16V. The device operates with an input voltage between 2.25V and 16V. It supports a maximum operating temperature of 125°C and functions within a minimum temperature of 0°C. The component utilizes a TO-220-5 through-hole package for installation.

Feature Summary

• Designed specifically for Intel Pentium Plus processor power regulation
• Adjustable output voltage capability within specified limits
• Integrated thermal protection mechanisms

Applications

• Intel Pentium Plus processor voltage conversion
• System power supply regulation
• Motherboard voltage management

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'WT' corresponds to the TO-220-5 through-hole package configuration when sourcing. Confirm that the application requires the dedicated Intel Pentium Plus regulation profile rather than a general-purpose LDO. Ensure compatibility with the required input voltage range of 2.25V to 16V for the target system design.

Selection Notes

Select this component only if the design targets Intel Pentium Plus architecture requirements. Consider the TO-220-5 package size constraints for the PCB layout. Evaluate the thermal performance at the maximum operating temperature of 125°C. Verify that the adjustable output range meets the specific core voltage needs of the processor.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Microchip Technology MIC2971 series, which includes specialized regulators for legacy Intel processors. The MIC29712 variant is distinct from the MIC29710 and MIC29752 series, which serve different current or voltage profiles. It represents a niche solution for specific historical computing platforms.
