What are the key features of MCP1810T-25I/J8A?
- Fixed 2.5 V output with 150 mA current capability and ultra-low 0.38 V maximum dropout extends battery usable capacity in 3.0 V Li-Ion designs
- Wide 2.7 V to 5.5 V input range covers single-cell Li-Ion, 3.3 V logic rails, and 5 V USB supplies without design changes
- Compact VDFN-8 package with exposed pad improves thermal dissipation in dense IoT and wearable PCB layouts with minimal board area
What is MCP1810T-25I/J8A used for?
The MCP1810T-25I/J8A is suited for powering precision ADC references, wireless sensor MCUs, and low-power RF modules in IoT devices that run from 3.3 V or 3.7 V Li-Ion battery rails. Its 2.5 V fixed output provides a clean supply for 2.5 V core-voltage FPGAs, sensor bridge circuits, and op-amp analog front ends requiring a stable mid-rail reference. The VDFN-8 package with exposed thermal pad makes it an efficient space-saving choice for wearables, smart meters, and miniature industrial sensors where a TO-92 or SOT-223 regulator would be physically too large.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 0.38 V maximum dropout of MCP1810T-25I/J8A benefit a 3.0 V Li-Ion end-of-discharge scenario?
At end-of-discharge, a Li-Ion cell drops to approximately 3.0 V. With a maximum 0.38 V dropout, the MCP1810T-25I/J8A maintains a stable 2.5 V output at all currents up to 150 mA as long as input stays above 2.88 V. This lets the system extract an additional 5–10% of battery capacity compared to an LDO with a 0.6 V dropout specification.
For a precision sensor bridge powered from a Li-Ion cell, why is a 2.5 V LDO output more useful than a 3.3 V output?
A 2.5 V excitation voltage matches the full-scale reference of many 10-bit and 12-bit ADCs that use the supply as VREF, providing exactly 2.441 mV per LSB for 12-bit systems. This eliminates an external precision voltage reference component and simplifies the analog front-end design, saving BOM cost and 1–2 mm² of board area in miniature instruments.
What is the maximum output current of MCP1810T-25I/J8A, and which subsystems can it directly power?
The MCP1810T-25I/J8A delivers up to 150 mA of output current. This is sufficient to power a Bluetooth LE SoC (typically 10–30 mA TX), a 32-bit Cortex-M0 MCU (5–20 mA active), or an MEMS sensor array (1–5 mA combined), plus supporting logic — all from a single 2.5 V rail without additional sequencing circuitry.
How does the VDFN-8 package of MCP1810T-25I/J8A compare in thermal performance to a standard SOT-23-5?
The VDFN-8 includes an exposed copper pad on the bottom that provides a direct thermal path to the PCB ground plane, achieving a thermal resistance of approximately 40–60°C/W junction-to-board versus roughly 200°C/W for an SOT-23-5. At 150 mA load with 1 V input-output differential, the exposed pad reduces die temperature rise by over 20°C, preventing thermal shutdown in compact high-current applications.
