MIC3975 Micrel MIC3975 750mA Cap Low-Voltage Low-Dropout Regulator General Description Features The MIC3975 is a 750mA low-dropout linear voltage regula- Fixed and adjustable output voltages to 1.24V tors that provide low-voltage, high-current output from an 300mV typical dropout at 750mA extremely small package. Utilizing Micrels proprietary Super Ideal for 3.0V to 2.5V conversion eta PNP pass element, the MIC3975 offers extremely low Ideal for 2.5V to 1.8V or 1.65V conversion dropout (typically 300mV at 750mA) and low ground current Stable with ceramic capacitor (typically 6.5mA at 750mA). 750mA minimum guaranteed output current 1% initial accuracy The MIC3975 is ideal for PC add-in cards that need to con- Low ground current vert from standard 5V to 3.3V or 3.0V, 3.3V to 2.5V or 2.5V Current limiting and thermal shutdown to 1.8V or 1.65V. A guaranteed maximum dropout voltage Reversed-battery protection of 500mV over all operating conditions allows the MIC3975 Reversed-leakage protection to provide 2.5V from a supply as low as 3.0V and 1.8V or Fast transient response 1.65V from a supply as low as 2.25V. Low-prole MSOP-8 The MIC3975 is fully protected with overcurrent limiting, thermal shutdown, and reversed-battery protection. Fixed voltages of 5.0V, 3.3V, 3.0, 2.5V, 1.8V, and 1.65V are avail- Applications able. An adjustable output voltage option is available for Fiber optic modules voltages down to 1.24V.
