5A, Low Voltage µCap LDO Regulator
Advance Information
General Description
The Micrel MIC37500/01/02 is a 5A low-dropout linear volt-
age regulator that provides a low voltage, high current output
with a minimum of external components. It offers high preci-
sion, ultra low dropout (500mV), and low ground current.
The MIC37500/01/02 operates from an input of 2.3V 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 fixed and adjustable output voltages. Fixed
voltages include 1.5V. The adjustable version is capable of
1.24V to 5.5V.
Features of the MIC37500/01/02 LDO include thermal and
current limit protection, and reverse current & reverse battery
protection. Logic enable and error flag pins are available.
Junction temperature range of the MIC37500/01/02 is from
–40°C to 125°C.
For applications requiring input voltage greater than 6.0V,
see MIC3910x, MIC3915x, MIC3930x, and MIC3950x LDOs.
