Key Features
- Ultra-low 2 µA quiescent current enabling years of standby operation in battery-powered IoT and remote sensing nodes
- Fixed 3.3 V output with 250 mA current capability and 0.4 V typical dropout voltage for efficient regulation from Li-Ion and alkaline battery stacks
- Wide 4.3 V to 10 V input range in a tiny SOT-23A-3 package for space-constrained automotive and industrial sensor designs
Applications
The MCP1701AT-3302I/CB is ideal for always-on IoT sensor nodes, wireless beacon tags, and remote telemetry units where the 2 µA quiescent current allows a CR2032 coin cell to power the standby circuit for several years without draining the battery. Its 4.3 V to 10 V input range supports direct connection to 6 V alkaline packs, single-cell LiPo systems, or 9 V industrial supply rails without an additional pre-regulator. The fixed 3.3 V output and tiny SOT-23A-3 footprint make it a drop-in supply for low-power MCUs, sensors, and RF modules that require a stable 3.3 V rail.

Frequently Asked Questions
What quiescent current does MCP1701AT-3302I/CB draw, and how does this extend battery life in IoT designs?
The MCP1701AT-3302I/CB draws only 2 µA of quiescent current at no load, meaning a 220 mAh CR2032 coin cell powering just the regulator bias would last over 12 years. In duty-cycled IoT sensor nodes that sleep most of the time at sub-milliamp system current, this ultra-low quiescent makes the regulator contribution to battery drain essentially negligible.
What is the dropout voltage of MCP1701AT-3302I/CB and what minimum input voltage is required to maintain 3.3 V output?
The MCP1701AT-3302I/CB has a nominal dropout voltage of 0.4 V (maximum 0.7 V at 250 mA), which means the input must be at least 3.7 V to guarantee the regulated 3.3 V output. Its specified input range starts at 4.3 V, comfortably above this dropout margin and compatible with a fresh alkaline AA cell pack or a near-full single-cell Li-Ion at 4.2 V.
Can MCP1701AT-3302I/CB handle the transient load spikes from an RF transmitter module?
The MCP1701AT-3302I/CB is rated for 250 mA continuous output current, which covers the typical 150 mA to 200 mA peak current drawn by short-range RF modules such as nRF24L01 or ESP8266 during 100 µs to 1 ms transmit bursts. Adding a 10 µF ceramic output capacitor improves transient response and prevents the output from drooping below the RF module's minimum 3.0 V threshold during the peak.
How does the SOT-23A-3 package of MCP1701AT-3302I/CB simplify PCB layout for compact sensor boards?
The SOT-23A-3 package occupies less than 4 mm² of PCB area and requires only an input capacitor of 1 µF and output capacitor of 1 µF to be stable, making the total footprint including passives under 10 mm². This compact regulator circuit fits on a 20 mm × 20 mm sensor PCB alongside a microcontroller and environmental sensor without any other power management components.
