What are the key features of MCP1700-3302E/TO?
- Ultra-low 178 mV typical dropout voltage at 250 mA output current, enabling regulation from a Li-ion cell down to 3.5 V input
- Fixed 3.3 V output with 2% accuracy (3.234 V to 3.366 V) meeting the supply tolerance of most 3.3 V microcontrollers and sensors
- 250 mA output current capability in a compact TO-92-3 through-hole package ideal for prototyping and cost-sensitive production designs
- 6 V maximum input voltage with only 1 µA typical quiescent current in shutdown, extending battery life in low-power IoT sensor nodes
What is MCP1700-3302E/TO used for?
The MCP1700-3302E/TO is widely used to regulate 3.3 V from alkaline AA batteries, Li-ion cells, or 5 V USB rails in low-power IoT sensors, wireless modules, and microcontroller development boards. Its 178 mV dropout allows a 3.7 V Li-ion cell to power a 3.3 V system until the battery reaches approximately 3.5 V, maximizing usable runtime in remote environmental monitoring nodes. The TO-92-3 package suits breadboard prototyping and cost-optimized production runs where a simple, proven LDO is preferred over a switching regulator.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum input voltage required for the MCP1700-3302E/TO to maintain a 3.3 V regulated output at full load?
At the maximum 250 mA output current, the MCP1700-3302E/TO requires a minimum input voltage of approximately 3.478 V, based on the 3.3 V output plus the 178 mV typical dropout voltage. The specified minimum input voltage is 4.3 V for guaranteed performance across the full operating temperature range, but the 0.35 V maximum dropout rating means the regulator maintains output regulation down to 3.65 V input under worst-case conditions.
How does the 1 µA quiescent current of the MCP1700-3302E/TO benefit battery-powered sensor designs?
With only 1 µA typical quiescent current when lightly loaded, the MCP1700-3302E/TO adds negligible self-discharge to a battery-powered design where the load sleeps for extended periods. In a system that wakes every 60 seconds to sample and transmit, the LDO's own current draw over months-long deployment represents less than 1% of total energy consumed from a standard 2000 mAh AA alkaline cell.
For a compact 3.3 V microcontroller board, how does the MCP1700-3302E/TO compare to a switching regulator for low-current loads below 100 mA?
At output currents below 100 mA, the power loss in the MCP1700-3302E/TO is typically less than 35 mW when converting from 4 V to 3.3 V, making its efficiency penalty over a switching regulator negligible for most sensor nodes. The LDO produces no switching noise, eliminating the need for EMI filtering, and its 3-pin TO-92 package requires only 2 external bypass capacitors to meet the 2% output accuracy specification.
