GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Utilizing Micrel’s proprietary Super βeta PNP™ pass element, the MIC39150/1 offers extremely low dropout (typically 375mV at 1.5A) and low ground current (typically 17mA at 1.5A). A guaranteed maximum dropout voltage of 500mV over all operating conditions allows the MIC39150/1 to provide 2.5V from a supply as low as 3V or 1.8V from a supply as low as 2.3V. This device requires only 10µF of output capacitance to maintain stability and achieve fast transient response The MIC39150/1 is fully protected with overcurrent limiting, thermal shutdown, reversed-battery protection, reversedlead insertion, and reverse-leakage protection. The MIC39151 offers a TTL-logic compatible enable pin and an error flag that indicates undervoltage and over current conditions. Offered in fixed voltages of 2.5V and 1.8V, the MIC39150/1 comes in the TO-220 and TO-263 packages and is an ideal upgrade to older, NPN-based linear voltage regulators. FEATURES
