Product details
Overview
MCP1824T-0802E/DC from Microchip Technology is a 300 mA, fixed-output 0.8V low-dropout linear regulator in SOT-223-5 package, featuring 200 mV typical dropout at full load, ±0.5% output voltage tolerance, and integrated power-good (PWRGD) monitoring with 110 µs delay. It operates from 2.1V to 6.0V input and delivers stable sub-1V supply for core logic in portable computing and high-speed chipset applications.
For engineers reviewing the MCP1824T-08022E/DC datasheet, MCP1824T-0802E/DC pinout, MCP1824T-0802E/DC application, or MCP1824T-0802E/DC equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.8V fixed output, shutdown control (SHDN), PWRGD assertion timing, ceramic-capacitor stability (≥1 µF), and thermal performance in SOT-223-5 with exposed pad.
Technical Context
The MCP1824T-0802E/DC implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout and fast transient response. Its internal reference (0.41V on ADJ pin) is used only for adjustable variants; this fixed 0.8V version uses trimmed resistor feedback and monitors VOUT directly for PWRGD generation.
Power-good detection triggers when VOUT reaches 92% of nominal (0.736V), with 2% hysteresis and fixed 110 µs delay from regulation entry. Shutdown reduces quiescent current to 0.1 µA typical, and overtemperature protection activates at 150°C with 10°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 0.8V ±0.5% - enables direct powering of sub-1V processor cores without external resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA continuous - supports high-current digital loads such as DDR I/O or FPGA auxiliary rails. |
| Dropout Voltage | 200 mV typical at 300 mA - allows operation from 1.0V input (e.g., single LiFePO₄ cell or buck-boost pre-regulator). |
| Quiescent Current | 120 µA typical - minimizes battery drain in always-on system management functions. |
| PWRGD Delay | 110 µs typical rising-edge delay - provides deterministic power sequencing for downstream logic reset timing. |
| Stability Capacitor | 1.0 µF ceramic minimum - enables compact, low-ESR, high-reliability output filtering without tantalum or electrolytic parts. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C junction - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded systems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-lead SOT-223-5 with exposed thermal pad (EP), rated θJA = 62°C/W on 4-layer board. Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SHDN) | Active-low enable input | Pull to GND disables regulator and forces PWRGD low; logic-high threshold ≥45% VIN ensures noise immunity. |
| 2 (VIN) | Unregulated input supply | Accepts 2.1V–6.0V; requires local 1–10 µF ceramic decoupling near pin for PSRR and transient response. |
| 3 (GND) | Power ground reference | Low-impedance return path for LDO ground current; must connect to EP and output capacitor ground. |
| 4 (VOUT) | Regulated 0.8V output | Delivers up to 300 mA; requires ≥1 µF ceramic output capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability. |
| 5 (PWRGD) | Open-drain power-good flag | Sinks ≥1.2 mA when active; requires external pull-up to compatible logic voltage (e.g., 1.8V or 3.3V). |
| EP (Exposed Pad) | Thermal and electrical ground | Internally connected to GND; must be soldered to large copper pour for thermal dissipation and noise reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sub-1V Fixed Output | 0.8V output eliminates need for external feedback resistors and simplifies layout for low-voltage SoC core supplies. |
| Integrated Power-Good | Dedicated open-drain PWRGD with 92% threshold and 110 µs delay enables reliable power sequencing without external comparators. |
| Ultra-Low Quiescent Current | 120 µA operating / 0.1 µA shutdown current extends battery life in portable and energy-sensitive applications. |
| Ceramic-Capacitor Stability | Stable with ≥1 µF X7R ceramic output capacitor - reduces BOM cost, size, and failure risk vs. tantalum alternatives. |
| Robust Protection | Short-circuit current limiting (720 mA typ.) and thermal shutdown (150°C) prevent damage during fault conditions. |

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of the MCP1824T-0802E/DC?
The MCP1824T-0802E/DC has a fixed output voltage of 0.8V with a tolerance of ±0.5% over temperature and line/load conditions, meaning the actual output remains within 0.796V to 0.804V under specified operating conditions. This tight tolerance is achieved via factory-trimmed internal feedback and is confirmed in the DS22070A datasheet Section 1.0 Electrical Characteristics.
Does the MCP1824T-0802E/DC require an external resistor network to set its output voltage?
No, the MCP1824T-0802E/DC is a fixed-output variant and does not require external resistors. Its 0.8V output is internally set and trimmed; the ADJ pin is not present or functional in this version. Only adjustable versions (e.g., MCP1824T-ADJE/DC) use the ADJ pin and external resistor divider.
Can the MCP1824T-0802E/DC operate with a 1.0V input supply?
Yes - the MCP1824T-0802E/DC can operate with a 1.0V input, but only if the output is unloaded or lightly loaded. Its minimum input voltage is defined as VIN ≥ VOUT + VDROPOUT(MAX). At 300 mA, VDROPOUT(MAX) = 320 mV, so VIN(MIN) = 1.12V. At 10 mA, dropout drops to ~50 mV, allowing 0.85V input. Always verify dropout vs. load per Figure 2-19 in DS22070A.
What is the purpose of the exposed pad (EP) on the MCP1824T-0802E/DC package?
The exposed pad on the MCP1824T-0802E/DC's SOT-223-5 package is electrically connected to GND and serves as the primary thermal conduction path. It must be soldered to a PCB ground plane to achieve the specified θJA = 62°C/W and prevent thermal shutdown under sustained 300 mA load. Leaving it floating degrades thermal performance and risks instability.
How does the PWRGD output behave during shutdown of the MCP1824T-0802E/DC?
When SHDN is pulled low, the MCP1824T-0802E/DC disables its output and drives PWRGD low (≤0.4V at 1.2 mA sink) within 100 µs. PWRGD remains asserted low until SHDN is returned high and VOUT rises to ≥92% of 0.8V (≥0.736V), after which the 110 µs internal delay begins before PWRGD goes high. This behavior is documented in Sections 3.5 and 2.10 of DS22070A.
