MIC5237-2.5YU TR Microchip

MIC5237 500mA Low-Dropout Regulator General Description Features The MIC5237 is a general-purpose low-dropout regulator Guaranteed 500mA output over the full operating capable of 500mA output current with better than 3% temperature range output voltage accuracy. Using Micrels proprietary Super Low 300mV typical dropout voltage at full load eta PNP process with a PNP pass element, these Extremely tight load and line regulation regulators feature less than 300mV dropout voltage and Current and thermal limiting typically 8mA ground current at full load. Reversed-battery protection Designed for applications that require moderate current over a broad input voltage range, including hand-held and TO-220 and TO-263 packages battery-powered devices, the MIC5237 is intended for Low temperature coefficient applications that can tolerate moderate voltage drop at No-load stability higher current. Low-noise output Key features include low ground current to help prolong battery life, reversed-battery protection, current limiting, over-temperature shutdown, and thermally efficient Applications packaging. The MIC5237 is available in fixed output Portable and laptop computers voltages only. Desktop computer For space-critical applications and improved performance, Battery chargers see the MIC5209 and MIC5219. For output current requirements up to 750mA, see the MIC2937.
