Product details
Overview
MCP1802T-6002I/OT from Microchip Technology is a 300 mA CMOS low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator with 6.0 V fixed output, 200 mV typical dropout at 100 mA, 25 µA typical quiescent current, and SOT-23-5 package. It delivers stable power to microcontrollers and battery-powered sensors operating from 2.0 V to 10.0 V input sources.
For engineers reviewing the MCP1802T-6002I/OT datasheet, MCP1802T-6002I/OT pinout, MCP1802T-6002I/OT application, or MCP1802T-6002I/OT equivalent, key selection criteria include shutdown functionality, ±2% output accuracy over temperature, ceramic capacitor stability, and thermal performance in space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The MCP1802T-6002I/OT uses a P-channel PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout and high PSRR (70 dB @ 10 kHz). Its internal bandgap reference and error amplifier provide precise regulation across –40°C to +85°C ambient range.
Shutdown control is implemented via a logic-level SHDN pin requiring external pull-up/pull-down; no internal bias resistor exists. Current limiting employs foldback protection, delivering ~50 mA short-circuit current and 380 mA typical trip threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 6.0 V ±2% (VR ≥ 1.45 V), ensuring compatibility with 6 V logic rails and analog subsystems |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA continuous, supporting mid-power MCU cores and sensor arrays without thermal derating in standard PCB layouts |
| Dropout Voltage | 200 mV typical @ 100 mA (3.1–6.0 V output range), enabling operation from single Li-Ion or four alkaline cells |
| Quiescent Current | 25 µA typical, minimizing battery drain in always-on smoke/CO₂ detectors and data loggers |
| PSRR | 70 dB typical @ 10 kHz, suppressing switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters in mixed-signal systems |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C, validated for industrial and automotive cabin environments without derating |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 256°C/W (SOT-23-5 on 4-layer FR-4), enabling 162 mW max dissipation at +40°C ambient |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 surface-mount package with 1.3 mm × 2.9 mm footprint, 0.95 mm height, and lead-free matte tin plating per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VIN | Unregulated Input Supply | Accepts 2.0–10.0 V; requires ≥0.1 µF local ceramic decoupling to maintain stability under load transients |
| 2 - GND | Regulator Ground Reference | Low-current return path (25 µA typical); must be tied directly to load and capacitor negatives to avoid regulation error |
| 3 - SHDN | Active-High Shutdown Control | Logic-high (≥1.6 V) enables output; logic-low (≤0.25 V) reduces quiescent current to 0.01 µA; no internal pull resistor |
| 4 - NC | No Connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout best practice-no routing or vias allowed |
| 5 - VOUT | Regulated 6.0 V Output | Delivers up to 300 mA; requires ≥1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability and PSRR optimization |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Dropout Architecture | P-channel PMOS pass element enables 200 mV dropout at full 100 mA load, extending battery life in multi-cell systems |
| Ceramic Capacitor Stability | Stable with ≥1 µF X7R/X5R ceramics-eliminates need for bulkier tantalum or electrolytic capacitors in compact designs |
| High PSRR Performance | 70 dB rejection at 10 kHz allows clean 6.0 V supply in noisy environments with switch-mode power stages nearby |
| Shutdown Functionality | 0.01 µA shutdown current enables true system-level power gating for >1-year battery operation in alarm circuits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1702T-6002E/MB | Same 6.0 V output, but 250 mA max current and 6 µA quiescent current; SOT-23-3 package (no SHDN pin) | Lacks shutdown control; suited for always-on, lower-current applications where board space is critical | Select when shutdown is unnecessary and quiescent current below 10 µA is mandatory |
| TPS7A2060PDBVR | 6.0 V output, 300 mA, 0.6 µA quiescent current, but 350 mV dropout @ 100 mA and no guaranteed 6 V option in production marking | Superior IQ for long-term storage, but higher dropout limits minimum input to 6.35 V | Select when ultra-low IQ dominates design priority and input voltage margin exceeds 350 mV |
Compared with MCP1702T-6002E/MB, the MCP1802T-6002I/OT adds shutdown control and 50 mA higher current capability at the cost of +19 µA quiescent current; versus TPS7A2060PDBVR, it trades 24.4 µA higher IQ for 150 mV lower dropout and guaranteed 6.0 V factory-trimmed output.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MCP1802T-6002I/OT?
The MCP1802T-6002I/OT has an absolute maximum input voltage of +12 V, but its operational input range is specified from 2.0 V to 10.0 V. Exceeding 10.0 V continuously may compromise reliability or violate safe operating area limits defined in the datasheet. Always maintain VIN ≤ 10.0 V for sustained operation.
Does the MCP1802T-6002I/OT require an external pull-up resistor on the SHDN pin?
Yes-the MCP1802T-6002I/OT SHDN pin has no internal pull-up or pull-down resistor. To prevent instability, SHDN must be actively driven to logic-high (≥1.6 V) for enable or logic-low (≤0.25 V) for shutdown. A 100 kΩ pull-up to VIN is commonly used in battery-powered designs to ensure default-enable behavior.
Can the MCP1802T-6002I/OT operate stably with a 0.47 µF ceramic output capacitor?
No-the MCP1802T-6002I/OT requires a minimum of 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitance (X7R or X5R) for small-signal stability across its full 0–300 mA load range. Using 0.47 µF risks oscillation or poor transient response; Microchip validates stability only with ≥1.0 µF per DS22053C.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the MCP1802T-6002I/OT in its SOT-23-5 package?
The MCP1802T-6002I/OT has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 256°C/W when mounted on a standard 4-layer FR-4 PCB per EIA/JEDEC JESD51-7. This value assumes 1 in² copper pour on layer 2; actual θJA improves with larger copper areas or thermal vias.
Is the 6.0 V output of the MCP1802T-6002I/OT trimmed at the factory or adjustable?
The MCP1802T-6002I/OT features factory-trimmed 6.0 V output with ±2% accuracy over temperature and line/load conditions. It is not adjustable-no external feedback resistors are supported. The "6002" in the part number explicitly denotes the 6.0 V fixed output variant.
