What is MCP1824ST-0802E/DB used for?
The MCP1824ST-0802E/DB is designed for powering sub-1 V core voltage rails of FPGAs, DSPs, and low-voltage application processors from a 3.3 V or single-cell Li-ion source. Its 200 mV typical dropout at 300 mA load allows it to supply the core rail from a depleted Li-ion cell at 2.5 V while maintaining the required 0.8 V output, extending battery run-time. It is also used in multi-rail power sequencing designs for FPGA and SoC boards where the core voltage must be established before I/O rails to prevent latch-up.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does MCP1824ST-0802E/DB's 200 mV dropout enable power from a nearly depleted Li-ion cell at 2.5 V?
With a maximum dropout voltage of 320 mV at 300 mA and typical dropout of 200 mV, MCP1824ST-0802E/DB maintains a regulated 0.8 V output as long as the input stays above approximately 1.12 V (output plus dropout). A Li-ion cell at end-of-discharge voltage of 2.5 V provides more than 1.7 V of headroom above the minimum input threshold of 2.1 V, sustaining full 300 mA output throughout the cell's usable discharge range.
For an FPGA core power rail requiring 0.8 V at 200 mA, how does MCP1824ST-0802E/DB's thermal performance in SOT-223-3 affect PCB design?
In SOT-223-3, the exposed tab connects to the output pin and provides a thermal path to the PCB copper pour. At 200 mA from a 3.3 V input, power dissipation is (3.3 - 0.8) x 0.2 = 500 mW. With a typical SOT-223 junction-to-board thermal resistance of 25°C/W and a copper pour, junction temperature rise is approximately 12.5°C above ambient, keeping the device below 70°C at 25°C ambient for reliable long-term FPGA core power delivery.
Can MCP1824ST-0802E/DB power a 0.8 V core from a 5 V USB supply safely?
The MCP1824ST-0802E/DB accepts inputs up to 6 V absolute maximum, so a 5 V USB supply is within the 2.1 V to 6 V operating range. At 5 V input and 0.8 V output at 300 mA, power dissipation is (5.0 - 0.8) x 0.3 = 1.26 W. The SOT-223-3 package can dissipate this safely with a 1 cm² copper pad, keeping junction temperature below 125°C at 25°C ambient; for higher ambient temperatures above 50°C, increasing copper area to 2 cm² is recommended.
How does the fixed 0.8 V output of MCP1824ST-0802E/DB compare to an adjustable LDO for multi-rail FPGA power designs?
A fixed-output MCP1824ST-0802E/DB simplifies the BOM by eliminating external resistor dividers required by adjustable LDOs such as MCP1824T-ADJ. Fixed-voltage accuracy is typically tighter (±2% versus ±3% including resistor tolerance), directly benefiting FPGA core voltage accuracy-sensitive designs. For boards requiring only 0.8 V and 1.8 V rails, two fixed-voltage MCP1824 variants replace two adjustable LDOs plus four precision resistors, saving cost and PCB area.
What output capacitor is recommended for stable operation of MCP1824ST-0802E/DB in a pulsed-load FPGA core supply?
Microchip recommends a minimum 1 µF ceramic output capacitor for stability; for pulsed FPGA loads with current steps above 100 mA in under 1 µs, a 10 µF ceramic capacitor reduces output voltage droop to below 50 mV during load transients. Place the capacitor within 5 mm of the LDO output pin on a low-impedance copper pour to minimize ESR-induced voltage spikes. Avoid tantalum capacitors with ESR above 300 mOhm, which can cause oscillation at light loads.
