MIC47300
3A, Low Voltage, Adjustable LDO
Regulator with Dual Input Supply
General Description
The MIC47300 is a high-bandwidth, low-dropout, 3A volt-
age regulator ideal for powering core voltages of low-
power microprocessors. The MIC47300 implements a dual
supply configuration allowing for very low output
impedance and very fast transient response.
The MIC47300 requires a bias input supply between 3V
and 6.5V for proper operation. The main input supply rail
operates from 1.4V to 6.5V that allows for adjustable
output voltages down to 0.9V.
The MIC47300 requires a minimum of 1µF output
capacitance for stability, and optimal operation is achieved
with small ceramic capacitors.
The MIC47300 is available in a 5-pin power D-Pak
package (TO-252) with an operating temperature range of
–40°C to +125°C.
