Key Features
- 1 A output current with only 0.22 V typical dropout voltage at full load, enabling operation from near-depleted Li-ion cells down to 2.3 V input
- Fixed 1.8 V output with tight ±0.5% accuracy and low quiescent current in SOIC-8 package for powering microcontrollers, FPGAs, and DDR memory I/O rails
- Wide input range of 2.3 V to 6 V with 6.5 V absolute maximum, accommodating single-cell Li-ion, USB 5 V, and regulated 3.3 V sources without external protection
Applications
The MCP1726-1802E/SN provides a clean 1.8 V supply rail for microcontrollers, DSPs, and FPGA core/I/O voltages in portable and industrial designs. Its 0.22 V typical dropout voltage allows it to regulate from a single lithium-ion cell throughout most of the battery discharge cycle, making it ideal for handheld instruments and wireless modules. The 1 A current capacity and fast transient response also suit DDR memory termination, RF front-end biasing, and sensor power domains requiring low-noise supply conditioning.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the dropout voltage of MCP1726-1802E/SN at full 1 A load, and how does that affect Li-ion battery usage?
At 1 A output the MCP1726-1802E/SN exhibits a typical dropout voltage of 0.22 V and a maximum of 0.5 V. A single Li-ion cell discharges from 4.2 V down to approximately 3.0 V; even at end-of-life the 0.5 V maximum dropout leaves 2.5 V at the output, well above the 1.8 V regulation point, so the LDO maintains regulation for nearly the full battery capacity.
How does MCP1726-1802E/SN perform as an FPGA 1.8 V I/O supply compared to a switching regulator in a noise-sensitive design?
As a linear LDO, MCP1726-1802E/SN produces no switching noise, eliminating the need for LC output filters that a 1 MHz–6 MHz buck converter requires. The 1.8 V fixed output with ±0.5% accuracy and PSRR exceeding 60 dB at 1 kHz keeps FPGA I/O rails clean, which is critical for high-speed LVDS interfaces operating at hundreds of MHz where power-supply noise couples directly into signal margins.
Can MCP1726-1802E/SN regulate from a USB 5 V input down to 1.8 V at 1 A, and is thermal management needed?
Yes, the 2.3 V to 6 V input range covers USB 5 V. At 1 A the power dissipation is (5 V − 1.8 V) × 1 A = 3.2 W. The SOIC-8 package has a thermal resistance of approximately 100°C/W junction-to-ambient, so PCB copper pour or a small heatsink is required to keep junction temperature below 125°C in a typical 25°C ambient environment.
What external components does MCP1726-1802E/SN require for stable 1.8 V operation?
MCP1726-1802E/SN needs only an input bypass capacitor of at least 1 µF and an output capacitor of at least 1 µF (ceramic acceptable) for stable operation. Unlike some older CMOS LDOs, it is stable with low-ESR ceramic capacitors, simplifying PCB layout. The fixed 1.8 V version requires no external resistors, reducing BOM to 3 components: the IC plus 2 capacitors.
