MIC39150/39151/39152 1.5A, Low-Voltage Low-Dropout Regulator General Description Features The MIC39150, MIC39151, and MIC39152 are 1.5A LDO 1.5A minimum guaranteed output current voltage regulators that provide a low voltage, high current 500mV maximum dropout voltage over temperature output with a minimum of external components. Utilizing Ideal for 3.0V to 2.5V conversion Micrels proprietary Super eta PNP pass element, the Ideal for 2.5 to 1.8V or 1.65V conversion MIC39150/1/2 offers extremely low dropout (typically 1% initial accuracy 375mV at 1.5A) and low ground current (typically 17mA at 1.5A). Low ground current Current limiting and Thermal shutdown The MIC39150/1/2 are ideal for PC add-in cards that need to convert from 3.3V to 2.5V or 2.5V to 1.8V with a Reversed-battery and reversed lead insertion protection guaranteed maximum dropout voltage of 500mV over all Reversed-leakage protection operating conditions. The MIC39150/1/2 exhibit fast Fast transient response transient response for heavy switching applications and TTL/CMOS compatible enable pin (MIC39151/2 only) requires only 10F of output capacitance to maintain stability and achieve fast transient response. Error flag output (MIC39151 only) Adjustable output (MIC39152 only) The MIC39150/1/2 is fully protected with current limiting, thermal shutdown, reversed-battery protection/lead Power D-Pak package (TO-252) Adjustable only 2 insertion, and reverse-leakage protection. The MIC39151 Power D Pak package (TO-263) offers a TTL-logic compatible enable pin and an error flag that indicates undervoltage and overcurrent conditions. Applications Offered in fixed voltages of 2.5V, 1.8V and 1.65V, the 2 MIC39150/1 comes in the TO-220 and TO-263 (D Pak) Low-voltage digital ICs packages. The MIC39152 adjustable option allows LDO linear regulator for PC add-in cards programming the output voltage anywhere between 1.24V 2 High-efficiency linear power supplies and 15.5V and comes in 5-Pin, TO-263 (D Pak) and TO-252 (D-Pak) packages.
