Microchip Technology MIC29712
The MIC29712 is a high-current, high-accuracy, low-dropout voltage regulator that features fast transient recovery from input voltage surges and output load current changes. This regulator uses a PNP pass element that features Microchip’s proprietary Super ßeta PNP process. The MIC29712 is an adjustable output voltage device.FEATURES

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
It is fully protected against overcurrent faults, reversed lead insertion, overtemperature operation, and positive and negative transient voltage spikes. A TTL-compatible enable (EN) control pin supports external on/off control. If on/off control is not required, the device may be continuously enabled by connecting EN to IN. The MIC29712 is available in the 5-pin TO-220 package with an operating junction temperature range of 0°C to +125°C. For applications that require even lower dropout voltage or input voltage greater than 16V, see the MIC29752.
