MIC37252

MIC37252 Micrel MIC37252 2.5A, Low Voltage µCap LDO Regulator Final General Description The Micrel MIC37252 is a 2.5A low-dropout linear voltage regulator that provides a low voltage, high current output with a minimum of external components. It offers high precision, low dropout and low ground current. The MIC37252 operates from an input voltage of 3.0V to 6.0V. It is designed to drive digital circuits requiring low voltage at high currents (i.e., PLDs, DSP, microcontroller, etc.). It is available in an adjustable output voltage capable of 1.24V to 5.5V. Features of the MIC37252 LDO include thermal and current limit protection, and reverse current and reverse battery protection. Junction temperature range of the MIC37252 is from –40°C to 125°C. For higher currents see the MIC3730x family of LDOs. Features 2.5A minimum guaranteed output current Ideal for 3.3V to 1.8V conversion Stable with ceramic or tantalum capacitor +2.0% initial output tolerance Dropout voltage = 550mV @ 2.5A Excellent line and load regulation specifications Logic controlled shutdown Thermal shutdown and current limit protection Reverse-leakage protection S-Pak and TO-263 packages LDO linear regulator for low-voltage digital IC PC add-in cards High efficiency linear power supplies SMPS post regulator Battery charger Applications Typical Application MIC37252 VIN VOUT R1 VEN GND ADJ R2 COUT 47µF, Ceramic 3.3V 1.8V CIN Adjustable Regulator SuperSwitcher and Super βeta...
