Applications
MCP1790-3002E/DB is used to generate a stable 3.0 V supply for microcontrollers and sensors in industrial equipment powered from 12 V or 24 V rails. Its wide 30 V input range makes it compatible with automotive 12 V battery systems and transient voltage spikes without additional clamping. It also serves as a local post-regulator in power distribution boards where regulated outputs feed low-power logic circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the input voltage range of MCP1790-3002E/DB and how wide a supply can it handle?
MCP1790-3002E/DB accepts input voltages from 6 V to 30 V continuously, with an absolute maximum rating of 48 V. This wide range allows it to regulate from unregulated 12 V or 24 V industrial supplies while tolerating load dump transients common in automotive and factory environments.
How much power does MCP1790-3002E/DB dissipate when running from a 24 V supply at 70 mA output?
At 24 V input and 3.0 V output, the voltage drop across MCP1790-3002E/DB is 21 V. At the maximum 70 mA load, the device dissipates approximately 1.47 W, so the SOT-223 package's exposed tab must be soldered to a copper pour or heatsink to keep junction temperature below 125 °C.
For a sensor node on a 12 V automotive rail, why is MCP1790-3002E/DB preferable to a switching regulator?
MCP1790-3002E/DB requires no inductor, produces no switching noise, and has simpler EMC filtering, which is critical for sensor analog front-ends sensitive to 100 kHz–10 MHz switching harmonics. Its fixed 3.0 V output with ±2.5% accuracy and internal protection make it a lower-BOM-cost solution when the 70 mA current limit and linear dissipation are acceptable.
