- Wide 2.3 V to 6 V input range accepting single Li-ion, 3 AA, and regulated 5 V sources
- Low output noise and fast transient response ideal for analog and mixed-signal circuit power rails
- 8-pin SOIC-8 package with 3.9 mm body width allowing compact, easy-to-solder PCB footprints
What is MCP1725-1802E/SN used for?
The MCP1725-1802E/SN supplies clean 1.8 V power to low-voltage microcontrollers, FPGAs, RF transceivers, and memory devices in battery-operated IoT nodes, wearables, and portable measurement instruments. Its 210 mV dropout allows it to continue regulating even as a single-cell Li-ion battery discharges toward 2.5 V, extending usable run time compared to higher-dropout alternatives. Low output noise makes it particularly effective as an analog reference supply for ADC and DAC circuits sensitive to power-rail ripple.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the dropout voltage of the MCP1725-1802E/SN, and how does this affect battery run time?
The MCP1725-1802E/SN has a typical dropout voltage of 210 mV and a maximum of 350 mV at full 500 mA load. This low dropout means the regulator continues supplying stable 1.8 V output until the battery voltage falls as low as 2.05 V (worst case), squeezing more usable energy from Li-ion cells compared to regulators with 500 mV or higher dropout.
What output current can the MCP1725-1802E/SN sustain, and which loads does it suit best?
The regulator delivers up to 500 mA continuous output current at 1.8 V, suitable for powering low-power MCUs drawing under 100 mA, short-range RF modules at 200 mA to 300 mA peak, and low-voltage SDRAM or NAND Flash at up to 500 mA burst. Thermal dissipation at maximum current must be considered given the small SOIC-8 package.
How does the input voltage range of the MCP1725-1802E/SN match common battery chemistries?
The 2.3 V to 6 V input range covers fully charged single-cell Li-ion at 4.2 V, three-cell NiMH at 3.6 V nominal, and USB 5 V bus power. This flexibility allows the same MCP1725-1802E/SN design to run from multiple supply sources, reducing design respins when changing battery chemistry or charger topology.
Is the MCP1725-1802E/SN appropriate as an analog power rail for noise-sensitive ADC circuits?
Yes. The MCP1725-1802E/SN provides low output voltage noise, typically under 30 µV RMS across the 10 Hz to 100 kHz band, and a high power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR) that attenuates input ripple before it reaches the output. These characteristics make it a practical LDO choice for supplying precision 12-bit to 16-bit ADC reference and analog front-end stages where rail noise directly degrades measurement accuracy.
