MIC37110/MIC37112
MIC37120/MIC37122
High-Performance, Low-Noise,
1A LDOs
General Description
The MIC37110/MIC37112 and MIC37120/MIC37122 are
high-performance, low-noise, low dropout regulators. Each
of these LDOs is capable of sourcing 1A output current,
offers high power supply rejection, and low output noise.
These general purpose LDOs are most suitable for
consumer applications such as multimedia devices, set-top
boxes, Blu-ray players, handheld devices, and gaming
consoles.
The MIC37112 and MIC37122 feature adjustable output
voltages while the MIC37110 and MIC37120 come in fixed
1.8V output voltage options. All devices feature 2% initial
output voltage accuracy, typical dropout of 230mV at 1A,
and low ground current.
This family of low-noise regulators is available in 2mm x
®
2mm Thin MLF , SOIC-8 and SOT-223 packages and they
all have an operating junction temperature range of
−40°C
to
+125°C.
