Key Features
- 500 mA output current with only 210 mV typical dropout voltage, minimizing power dissipation in 5 V regulated systems
- Fixed 5.0 V output with tight regulation and 6.5 V absolute maximum input, ideal for USB-powered and single-cell Li-Ion applications
- 8-pin SOIC-8 package with enable pin and low quiescent current for space-constrained battery-powered designs
Applications
The MCP1725-5002E/SN is ideal for powering 5 V microcontrollers, sensors, and digital logic in handheld and portable battery-operated equipment. Its low 210 mV dropout voltage ensures reliable regulation even when input voltage is close to the 5 V output rail. The enable pin and SOIC-8 package make it well-suited for USB-powered accessories and embedded systems requiring compact, efficient power management.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum dropout voltage of the MCP1725-5002E/SN and how does it affect battery-powered designs?
The MCP1725-5002E/SN has a maximum dropout voltage of 350 mV at 500 mA load, with a typical value of 210 mV. This low dropout allows the 5.0 V output to remain regulated even when the input supply is just 5.35 V, extending usable battery life in systems powered from 4-cell NiMH or USB sources close to their minimum voltage.
Which embedded microcontroller platforms benefit most from the MCP1725-5002E/SN fixed 5 V regulator?
Microcontrollers operating at 5 V such as AVR ATmega328P and PIC16F series benefit directly from the MCP1725-5002E/SN, which delivers a stable 5.0 V rail at up to 500 mA. The ±0.5% output accuracy and low dropout of 210 mV typical also benefit analog peripherals such as 8-bit ADC references and UART-based sensor modules.
How does the MCP1725-5002E/SN compare to adjustable LDO variants in the MCP1725 family?
The MCP1725-5002E/SN provides a factory-trimmed fixed 5.0 V output, eliminating the need for external resistor dividers required by the adjustable MCP1725-ADJ variant. This reduces BOM count by 2 components and simplifies PCB layout. Both variants share the same 500 mA current rating, SOIC-8 package, and 6 V maximum input voltage.
