Frequently Asked Questions
What is the dropout voltage of the MCP1825ST-1802E/DB at full load?
The MCP1825ST-1802E/DB has a typical dropout voltage of 0.21 V and a maximum of 0.35 V at full 500 mA load. This low dropout allows the regulator to maintain a regulated 1.8 V output even when the input supply falls as low as 2.1 V, extending battery life in portable designs.
Can the MCP1825ST-1802E/DB power a 1.8 V microcontroller directly from a 3.3 V rail?
Yes, the MCP1825ST-1802E/DB accepts input voltages from 2.1 V to 6 V, making it fully compatible with a 3.3 V input rail. It delivers up to 500 mA at a stable 1.8 V output, which is sufficient to power most 1.8 V microcontrollers, memory chips, and low-power digital ICs without additional power stages.
How does the SOT-223 package help with thermal management at 500 mA output?
The SOT-223 package of the MCP1825ST-1802E/DB includes an exposed metal tab on the package body that solders directly to a copper pour on the PCB, improving thermal conductivity. This allows the regulator to sustain 500 mA continuous output current without exceeding its thermal limits on standard FR4 boards without external heatsinks.
Is the MCP1825ST-1802E/DB suitable for always-on IoT sensor nodes running from a single-cell Li-Ion battery?
The MCP1825ST-1802E/DB can operate from inputs as low as 2.1 V, which is near the minimum usable voltage of a single-cell Li-Ion battery (typically 2.5 V to 4.2 V). Its low quiescent current and 1.8 V output at 500 mA make it a practical choice for IoT sensor nodes that need to stay active across the full battery discharge cycle.
