Frequently Asked Questions
How does the MCP1701AT-1802I/CB achieve a 2 µA quiescent current, and why does that matter for battery life?
The MCP1701AT-1802I/CB is architected as a CMOS LDO with a bias circuit drawing only 2 µA typical quiescent current, which translates to a standby power dissipation of only 3.6 µW from a 1.8V output. A 200 mAh coin cell powering a duty-cycled IoT node drawing 2 µA standby can sustain over 11 years of shelf life from the regulator alone.
What is the dropout voltage of the MCP1701AT-1802I/CB, and how does it affect the minimum usable input voltage?
The MCP1701AT-1802I/CB has a nominal dropout voltage of 0.18V (maximum 0.3V at 250 mA), meaning the input must exceed 1.8V + 0.3V = 2.1V worst-case to maintain regulation. This low dropout makes it usable from a deeply discharged single-cell Li-Ion battery down to approximately 2.8V minimum input.
Which external components are needed for a complete MCP1701AT-1802I/CB 1.8V regulator circuit?
The MCP1701AT-1802I/CB requires only a 1 µF input capacitor and a 1 µF output capacitor for stable operation; no compensation resistors or additional components are needed. This minimal 3-component BOM (IC + 2 capacitors) in a SOT-23-3 package occupies less than 5 mm² of PCB area.
For a BLE sensor node running at 1.8V, how does the MCP1701AT-1802I/CB compare to a switching regulator for efficiency?
At the micro-ampere standby currents typical of a sleeping BLE SoC, a linear LDO like the MCP1701AT-1802I/CB outperforms a switching regulator because switchers typically consume 10 µA to 50 µA quiescent current. For a node spending 99% of its time sleeping at 5 µA total current, the LDO's 2 µA quiescent overhead is negligible and eliminates switching noise that can degrade BLE radio sensitivity.
