MIC39100/1/2
1A, Low-Voltage, Low-Dropout Regulator
General Description
The MIC39100, MIC39101, and MIC39102 are 1A low-
dropout linear voltage regulators that provide low-voltage,
high-current output from an extremely small package.
Utilizing Micrel’s proprietary Super
βeta
PNP
®
pass
element, the MIC39100/1/2 offers extremely low dropout
(typically 410mV at 1A) and low ground current (typically
11mA at 1A).
The MIC39100 is a fixed output regulator offered in the
SOT-223 package. The MIC39101 and MIC39102 are
fixed and adjustable regulators, respectively, in a thermally
enhanced power 8-lead SOIC package.
The MIC39100/1/2 is ideal for PC add-in cards that need
to convert from standard 5V to 3.3V, 3.3V to 2.5V or 2.5V
to 1.8V. A guaranteed maximum dropout voltage of 630mV
over all operating conditions allows the MIC39100/1/2 to
provide 2.5V from a supply as low as 3.13V and 1.8V from
a supply as low as 2.43V.
The MIC39100/1/2 is fully protected with overcurrent
limiting, thermal-shutdown, and reverse-battery protection.
Fixed voltages of 5.0V, 3.3V, 2.5V, and 1.8V are available
on MIC39100/1 with adjustable output voltages to 1.24V
on MIC39102.
