Key Features
- Fixed 1.8 V output with 200 mV typical dropout voltage at 300 mA — ideal for low-power CMOS supply rails
- Wide input range of 2.1 V to 6 V supports single-cell Li-Ion and 5 V USB bus designs
- SOT-23-5 package with only 5 pins reduces board area and simplifies layout for space-constrained applications
- Low quiescent current minimizes standby power loss in battery-operated portable devices
Applications
MCP1824T-1802E/OT suits portable electronics that require a stable 1.8 V rail from a 3.3 V or 5 V bus, such as microcontroller I/O banks, SDIO interfaces, and low-power sensor nodes. Its minimal dropout of 200 mV makes it effective in battery-powered designs where preserving cell runtime is critical. The small SOT-23-5 footprint also fits tightly on wearable or IoT PCBs with limited real estate.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum output current MCP1824T-1802E/OT can supply, and how does dropout voltage change at full load?
MCP1824T-1802E/OT can deliver up to 300 mA continuously. At full load the typical dropout voltage is 200 mV, rising to a maximum of 320 mV, meaning the input rail must stay at least 2.12 V above ground to keep the output in regulation.
Which input voltage range does MCP1824T-1802E/OT support, and is it compatible with a single-cell Li-Ion battery?
The device accepts input voltages from 2.1 V minimum to 6 V maximum, covering the full discharge range of a single-cell Li-Ion battery (nominally 3.7 V, minimum ~3 V). Its absolute maximum input rating is 6.5 V, so a 5 V USB rail is also compatible without additional protection.
How does the SOT-23-5 package of MCP1824T-1802E/OT compare to larger LDO packages for a compact PCB design?
The SOT-23-5 footprint measures roughly 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm, significantly smaller than SOT-223 or TO-252 packages used on higher-power LDOs. This 5-pin package needs only an input capacitor, output capacitor, and bypass pin decoupling — a total BOM of 3 passives — enabling very dense placement next to 1.8 V loads on sub-25 mm² board areas.
When would MCP1824T-1802E/OT be preferred over an adjustable LDO for a 1.8 V microcontroller supply?
A fixed-output regulator like MCP1824T-1802E/OT eliminates the two resistors required for the feedback divider in adjustable LDOs, reducing cost, component count, and resistor-related output voltage error. For a dedicated 1.8 V rail serving STM32 or PIC32 I/O banks that never need a different voltage, the fixed variant is the simpler, lower-risk choice.
