Key Features
- Adjustable output from 0.8 V to 5 V with only two external resistors, supporting flexible power rail design across multiple load voltages
- Ultra-low dropout voltage of 0.21 V nominal at 500 mA enables efficient regulation from near-battery input voltages
- Low line regulation of 0.16 %/V ensures stable output across input voltage variation, critical for sensitive analog and RF loads
Applications
The MCP1825T-ADJE/DC is well suited for post-regulation of switching supplies and battery-powered portable electronics requiring a clean, adjustable voltage rail up to 500 mA. Its low dropout performance makes it effective in 3.3 V or 1.8 V supply generation from a single lithium-ion cell, where headroom can drop to under 0.5 V during discharge. The device is also used in IoT modules, data acquisition systems, and sensor nodes where accurate and low-noise supply regulation directly impacts measurement fidelity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum dropout voltage of the MCP1825T-ADJE/DC at full load current?
The MCP1825T-ADJE/DC has a nominal dropout voltage of 0.21 V and a maximum dropout voltage of 0.35 V at 500 mA output current. This low dropout performance allows the device to maintain regulation even when the input voltage is only 0.35 V above the programmed output, making it ideal for single-cell lithium-ion powered designs where the supply rails can fall below 3.5 V.
How is the output voltage of the MCP1825T-ADJE/DC set, and what range is achievable?
The output voltage is set using an external resistor divider connected to the ADJ pin, allowing the output to be programmed anywhere between 0.8 V and 5 V. The feedback reference voltage is typically 0.41 V, so standard 1% resistor values can achieve common output voltages such as 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V with minimal deviation from the target setpoint.
Which portable and IoT designs benefit most from the MCP1825T-ADJE/DC LDO regulator?
This LDO is particularly effective in battery-powered IoT sensor nodes, wearable devices, and data loggers where a 3.3 V or 1.8 V regulated rail must be derived from a lithium-ion or alkaline battery. With a 500 mA current capability and low 0.21 V dropout, it can power a Bluetooth Low Energy module or a 32-bit microcontroller at 3.3 V even when the battery has discharged to 3.5 V.
What thermal performance does the 5-pin SOT-223 package of the MCP1825T-ADJE/DC provide?
The 5-pin SOT-223 package used by the MCP1825T-ADJE/DC has an exposed heat-slug tab that significantly reduces the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance compared to SOT-23 alternatives, typically achieving θJA of around 45°C/W on a standard PCB. This allows the device to dissipate up to approximately 500 mW at 25°C ambient without exceeding the 125°C maximum junction temperature, supporting full 500 mA load current at moderate voltage differentials.
