Description:
The MCP1755/1755S is a family of CMOS low-dropout
(LDO) voltage regulators that can deliver up to 300 mA
of current while consuming only 68.0 µA of quiescent
current (typical). The input operating range is specified
from 3.6V to 16.0V, making it an ideal choice for four to
six primary cell battery-powered applications, 12V
mobile applications and one to three cell Li-Ion-
powered applications.
The MCP1755/1755S is capable of delivering 300 mA
with only 300 mV (typical) of input-to-output voltage
differential. The output voltage tolerance of the
MCP1755 is typically +0.85% at +25°C and ±2.0%
maximum over the operating junction temperature
range of -40°C to +125°C. Line regulation is ±0.01%
typical at +25°C.
Output voltages available for the MCP1755/1755S
range from 1.8V to 5.5V. The LDO output is stable when
using only 1 µF of output capacitance. Ceramic,
tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors may all be
used for input and output. Overcurrent limit and
overtemperature shutdown provide a robust solution for
any application.
The MCP1755/1755S family has a true current foldback
feature. When the load impedance decreases beyond
the MCP1755/1755S load rating, the output current and
voltage will gracefully foldback towards 30 mA at about
0V output. When the load impedance increases and
returns to the rated load, the MCP1755/1755S will
follow the same foldback curve as the device comes out
of current foldback.
Package options for the MCP1755 include the
SOT-23-5, SOT-223-5 and 8-lead 2 x 3 DFN.
Package options for the MCP1755S device include the
SOT-223-3 and 8-lead 2 x 3 DFN.
