Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum output current and dropout voltage of the MCP1826T-3302E/DC?
The MCP1826T-3302E/DC delivers up to 1A of output current with a typical dropout voltage of only 250mV, and a maximum dropout of 400mV at full load. This low dropout ensures stable 3.3V output from a 3.78V minimum input, making it compatible with LiPo batteries near end-of-discharge.
Can the MCP1826T-3302E/DC power a Raspberry Pi or similar 3.3V embedded board from a 5V USB supply?
Yes, the MCP1826T-3302E/DC can power 3.3V embedded boards from a 5V input. With 1A output current, it supports boards drawing up to 1A at 3.3V. The 5-pin SOT-223 thermal pad helps dissipate the 1.7W (1A x 1.7V) power loss at full load to maintain stable operation.
How does the SOT-223 package of MCP1826T-3302E/DC improve thermal performance compared to SOT-23 LDOs?
The SOT-223 package of MCP1826T-3302E/DC has a larger exposed thermal pad that bonds to the PCB copper plane, reducing junction-to-board thermal resistance significantly compared to 3-pin SOT-23. This enables the regulator to sustain 1A continuous output current at ambient temperatures up to 125°C with proper copper area.
