The Vishay MP502 is a surface mount voltage regulator specifically designed for the protection of sensitive electronics in a range of applications. This Components regulate the output voltage with a total maximum output current of 500mA, and a maximum dropout voltage of 50mV. The operating temperature range for this part is from -40°C to +125°C, making it a suitable choice for use in extreme temperatures. Additionally, the MP502 offers an adjustable output voltage range from 1.25 V to 17V. The regulator also comes equipped with a range of protection features, including short-circuit, over-voltage, current limiting and thermal shutdown protection. Finally, it has a very small package size, making it an ideal choice for space-constrained designs.
