Product details
Overview
MCP1702T-2202E/CB from Microchip Technology is a 2.2V fixed-output, CMOS low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator in SOT-23A package, delivering up to 250 mA output current with only 2.0 µA typical quiescent current and 625 mV typical dropout voltage at 250 mA (VOUT = 2.8V). It operates from 2.7V to 13.2V input and maintains ±0.4% typical output voltage tolerance at +25°C - ideal for ultra-low-power battery-powered microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the MCP1702T-2202E/CB datasheet, MCP1702T-2202E/CB pinout, MCP1702T-2202E/CB application, or MCP1702T-2202E/CB equivalent, key selection criteria include micropower operation (<2.5 µA IQ), stable regulation with 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor, thermal/short-circuit protection, and compatibility with two-to-six-cell alkaline or single/dual Li-ion battery inputs.
Technical Context
The MCP1702T-2202E/CB uses a P-channel MOSFET pass element controlled by an internal error amplifier referenced to a precision bandgap voltage source. Regulation is achieved via feedback of VOUT to maintain 2.2V output across load and line variations.
It integrates overtemperature shutdown (trip at ~150°C, restart at ~130°C) and foldback current limiting (~400 mA short-circuit current), enabling robust operation in thermally constrained or fault-prone environments without external protection circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.2V ±3% over -40°C to +125°C junction temperature - enables precise biasing of low-voltage logic and analog circuits. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.0 µA typical at zero load - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and smoke detectors. |
| Max Output Current | 250 mA for VOUT ≥ 2.5V; for 2.2V output, max continuous current is 200 mA - defines usable load range in compact portable designs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 625 mV typical at 250 mA (for 2.8V variant); for 2.2V output, dropout is ≤750 mV at 200 mA - allows operation down to ~2.95V input with full regulation. |
| Output Capacitor | Stable with 1.0 µF to 22 µF ceramic (X7R) - eliminates need for large tantalum or electrolytic capacitors, reducing board area and cost. |
| Protection Features | Internal short-circuit current limit and thermal shutdown - prevents latch-up or destruction during transient overloads or poor heatsinking. |
| PSRR | 44 dB at 100 Hz (VOUT = 1.2V) - suppresses low-frequency supply ripple in noise-sensitive analog front-ends. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23A 3-pin surface-mount package (JEDEC MO-178AA), footprint-compatible with industry-standard SOT-23 layouts. Thermal resistance θJA = 336°C/W on FR-4 4-layer board.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Regulator ground reference; carries only 2.0 µA bias current - must be connected directly to low-impedance system ground plane near output capacitor negative terminal. |
| 2 | VOUT | Regulated 2.2V output; supplies load current up to 200 mA - requires 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability. |
| 3 | VIN | Unregulated input (2.7–13.2V); connects to battery or DC source - needs local 1.0 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor to ensure low source impedance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 2.0 µA typical enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell-powered IoT sensors with 10 µA average system current. |
| Low-noise regulation | 8 µV/√Hz output noise at 1 kHz supports clean power for ADC references and RF front-end biasing. |
| Wide input voltage range | 2.7V to 13.2V accommodates 2–6 alkaline cells or 1–2 Li-ion cells without external pre-regulation. |
| High accuracy output | ±0.4% typical VOUT tolerance at +25°C reduces calibration overhead in precision measurement systems. |
| Robust protection | Integrated thermal shutdown and current limiting eliminate need for external fault management circuitry. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-2202E/TT | SOT-23-3 package, identical 2.2V output and 2.0 µA IQ, but rated for 150 mA max output (vs. 200 mA for MCP1702T-2202E/CB). | Lower current capability limits use in pulsed-load BLE transmitters or multi-sensor systems requiring >150 mA peak. | Select MCP1700T-2202E/TT only when load current stays below 150 mA and board space constraints favor smaller footprint. |
| Torex XC6206P222MR-G | 2.2V fixed output, 1 µA IQ, SOT-23-3, but no integrated thermal shutdown and only 100 mA output rating. | Lacks overtemperature protection - unsuitable for sealed enclosures or high ambient temperature deployments. | Prefer XC6206P222MR-G only in cost-sensitive, low-power, thermally benign applications where external thermal monitoring exists. |
Compared with MCP1700T-2202E/TT and XC6206P222MR-G, the MCP1702T-2202E/CB delivers higher output current (200 mA), integrated thermal protection, and proven stability with minimal 1 µF ceramic output capacitance - making it optimal for battery-powered safety-critical and industrial sensing applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current for MCP1702T-2202E/CB?
The MCP1702T-2202E/CB supports up to 200 mA continuous output current when regulating to 2.2V. This is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Maximum Output Current" for output voltages < 2.5V. At 25°C and VIN ≥ 3.45V, the device delivers 200 mA while maintaining regulation within tolerance. Exceeding this current may trigger thermal shutdown or degrade output accuracy.
Does MCP1702T-2202E/CB require an input capacitor?
Yes, MCP1702T-2202E/CB requires a minimum 1.0 µF ceramic input capacitor (X7R) placed close to the VIN pin. The datasheet states that low source impedance is essential for stability, and 1 µF is sufficient for most applications up to 100 mA. For higher loads or noisy sources, larger values improve PSRR and transient response - but the device remains stable without it only under ideal lab conditions.
Can MCP1702T-2202E/CB be used as a voltage reference?
Yes, MCP1702T-2202E/CB is explicitly qualified for voltage reference use per Microchip AN765 and DS22008E Section 6.4. Its 2.2V output, ±0.4% typical tolerance at +25°C, and 50 ppm/°C temperature coefficient enable accurate ratio-metric measurements in microcontroller ADC systems - especially when initial offset is calibrated during production test.
What is the thermal shutdown behavior of MCP1702T-2202E/CB?
MCP1702T-2202E/CB activates thermal shutdown at approximately 150°C junction temperature and resumes operation once the junction cools to ~130°C. This hysteresis prevents oscillation during thermal stress. The SOT-23A package has θJA = 336°C/W, so sustained 200 mA loads at high VIN require careful PCB copper layout or derating - confirmed by Equation 6-2 in DS22008E.
Is MCP1702T-2202E/CB stable with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, MCP1702T-2202E/CB is fully stable with 1.0 µF to 22 µF X7R ceramic output capacitors, as verified in DS22008E Section 5.2 and Figure 2-10 through 2-12. Unlike older LDOs, it does not require ESR damping - enabling small, low-cost, high-reliability ceramic solutions instead of tantalum or aluminum electrolytics.
