Description:
The MCP1726 is a 1A Low Dropout (LDO) linear
regulator that provides high current and low output
voltages in a very small package. The MCP1726
comes in fixed or adjustable output voltage versions,
with an output voltage range of 0.8V to 5.0V. The 1A
output current capability and low output voltage
capability make the MCP1726 a good choice for new
sub-1.8V output voltage LDO applications that have
high current demands.
The MCP1726 is stable using ceramic output
capacitors that inherently provide lower output noise
and reduce the size and cost of the entire regulator
solution. Only 1 µF of output capacitance is needed to
stabilize the LDO.
Using CMOS construction, the quiescent current
consumed by the MCP1726 is typically less than
140 µA over the entire input voltage range, making it
attractive for portable computing applications that
demand high output current. When the MCP1726 is
shut down, the quiescent current is reduced to less
than 0.1 µA.
The scaled-down output voltage is internally monitored
and a Power Good (PWRGD) output is provided when
the output is within 92% of regulation (typical). An
external capacitor can be used on the C
DELAY
pin to
adjust the delay from 1 ms to 300 ms.
The overtemperature and short-circuit current limiting
provide additional protection for the LDO during system
fault conditions.

Load regulation is measured at a constant junction temperature using low duty-cycle pulse testing. Load regulation is

The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of ambient temperature, the maximum allowable junction
temperature and the thermal resistance from junction to air. (i.e., T
A
, T
J
,
JA
). Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation will cause the device operating junction temperature to exceed the maximum 150°C rating. Sustained
junction temperatures above 125°C can impact device reliability.
The junction temperature is approximated by soaking the device under test at an ambient temperature equal to the
desired junction temperature. The test time is small enough such that the rise in the junction temperature over the
ambient temperature is not significant.
