Key Features
- Fixed 3.3 V output with ±2% accuracy, ideal for precision analog and digital power rails
- Low 0.25 V typical dropout voltage enabling efficient regulation from near-rail input supplies
- 1A continuous output current in compact D2PAK-5 package with excellent thermal dissipation
Applications
The MCP1826-3302E/ET suits battery-powered IoT nodes, handheld instruments, and embedded microcontroller boards where a stable 3.3 V supply is required at up to 1 A with minimal quiescent current overhead. Its low dropout characteristic makes it particularly effective when powered from 3.7 V to 5 V sources such as single-cell Li-ion batteries or USB rails, and its D2PAK footprint simplifies PCB layout in space-constrained industrial and consumer applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum continuous output current the MCP1826-3302E/ET can deliver?
The MCP1826-3302E/ET is rated for 1 A continuous output current with a fixed 3.3 V regulated output, making it suitable for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and low-power FPGAs that require stable current supply up to 1 A from a compact LDO regulator.
How close can the input voltage be to 3.3 V before the MCP1826-3302E/ET loses regulation?
The typical dropout voltage is 0.25 V, meaning the input must be at least 3.55 V to maintain a regulated 3.3 V output. At maximum load of 1 A the dropout rises to 0.4 V, requiring a minimum 3.7825 V input, which is well within the range of a 3.7 V Li-ion cell.
In which industrial or automotive designs is the D2PAK-5 package of the MCP1826-3302E/ET most advantageous?
The D2PAK-5 package provides a large exposed paddle that conducts heat to the PCB ground plane, allowing the 1 A device to sustain higher ambient temperatures without an external heat sink. This benefits motor-drive auxiliary power circuits, 24 V industrial sensor nodes, and ruggedized equipment operating from -40°C to +125°C.
What is the absolute maximum input voltage the MCP1826-3302E/ET can withstand?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 6.5 V, while the recommended operating maximum is 6 V. Exceeding 6.5 V risks permanent damage to the device, so a transient suppressor or bulk capacitor should be used in noisy 5 V systems where supply spikes can occur.
