Product details
Overview
MCP1824T-3002E/DC from Microchip Technology is a 300 mA, fixed-output 3.0 V low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator in SOT-223-5 package. It operates from 2.1 V to 6.0 V input, delivers ±0.5% output voltage tolerance at 300 mA, and features 200 mV typical dropout voltage. Designed for portable computing and networking backplane power rails, it integrates shutdown control (SHDN), power-good (PWRGD) indication, and thermal/short-circuit protection.
For engineers reviewing the MCP1824T-3002E/DC datasheet, MCP1824T-3002E/DC pinout, MCP1824T-3002E/DC application, or MCP1824T-3002E/DC equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.0 V fixed output, 0.1 µA shutdown current, 110 µs PWRGD delay, stability with 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor, and operation across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The MCP1824T-3002E/DC implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout and fast transient response. Its internal reference (0.410 V nominal at ADJ pin) feeds an error amplifier that regulates output via feedback-though unused in this fixed-voltage variant, the ADJ pin remains functional as sense input for load regulation accuracy.
It integrates undervoltage lockout (UVLO), soft-start, overtemperature shutdown (150°C trip, 10°C hysteresis), and current limiting (720 mA short-circuit peak). The PWRGD output asserts high after 110 µs when VOUT reaches 92% of 3.0 V (i.e., ≥2.76 V), with 2% hysteresis to prevent chatter during brownout recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0 V ±0.5% (ensures stable core logic supply for 3.3 V–tolerant I/O domains) |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA continuous (supports high-current FPGA I/O banks or DDR termination) |
| Dropout Voltage | 200 mV typical at 300 mA (enables operation down to 3.2 V input from single-cell Li-ion or 3.3 V rail) |
| Quiescent Current | 120 µA typical (minimizes battery drain in always-on subsystems) |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1 µA typical (enables ultra-low-power sleep states in portable systems) |
| PWRGD Delay | 110 µs typical (provides deterministic power sequencing timing for downstream logic) |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.1 V to 6.0 V (compatible with wide-input DC-DC stages and multi-cell battery packs) |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-lead plastic SOT-223 with exposed thermal pad (EP) connected to GND. Thermal resistance θJA = 62°C/W on 4-layer board enables 300 mA operation without heatsink at ambient ≤85°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: SHDN | Active-low enable input | Pulls low to disable regulator and reduce supply current to 0.1 µA; requires ≥45% VIN for logic high |
| 2: VIN | Unregulated input supply | Accepts 2.1–6.0 V; decoupling capacitor (≥1 µF ceramic) recommended near pin |
| 3: GND | Power ground reference | Connects to PCB ground plane; EP (underside) is electrically tied to this pin |
| 4: VOUT | Regulated 3.0 V output | Delivers up to 300 mA; requires ≥1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor for stability |
| 5: PWRGD | Open-drain power-good flag | Sinks ≥1.2 mA when active; asserts high after 110 µs once VOUT ≥2.76 V (92% of 3.0 V) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Stable with 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor | Reduces BOM cost and PCB area vs. larger tantalum/aluminum alternatives; improves PSRR above 10 kHz |
| Fast load transient response | Recovers within <10 µs from 50–300 mA step load change-critical for burst-mode digital loads |
| Integrated PWRGD with fixed 110 µs delay | Eliminates external timing components for reliable power sequencing in multi-rail systems |
| Thermal shutdown with 10°C hysteresis | Prevents latch-up during overload; allows safe auto-recovery after cooling below 140°C |
| Low 0.4% typical output voltage tolerance | Meets tight margin requirements for 3.0 V analog sensor interfaces and precision ADC references |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7A2030PDBVR | 300 mA, 3.0 V fixed, 165 mV dropout at 300 mA; 65 µA IQ; no PWRGD or SHDN | Lacks power-good signaling and shutdown control-requires external logic for sequencing | Select when minimal quiescent current is critical and system-level sequencing is handled externally |
| MCP1700T-3002E/MB | 250 mA, 3.0 V fixed, 178 mV dropout at 250 mA; 1.6 µA IQ; no PWRGD; SOT-23-3 package | Lower current rating and no PWRGD; smaller footprint but higher thermal resistance (θJA = 256°C/W) | Select for space-constrained, lower-current applications where PWRGD is not required |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for the MCP1824T-3002E/DC?
The MCP1824T-3002E/DC supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.5 V, with recommended operating range from 2.1 V to 6.0 V. Exceeding 6.5 V risks permanent damage. At 3.0 V output, minimum valid input is 3.2 V (3.0 V + 200 mV typical dropout) to maintain regulation under full 300 mA load.
Does the MCP1824T-3002E/DC require an external resistor divider for 3.0 V output?
No. The MCP1824T-3002E/DC is a fixed-output variant-its 3.0 V regulation is achieved internally. The ADJ pin is internally connected and does not require external resistors. External resistors are only needed for adjustable versions like MCP1824T-3002E/DC's adjustable siblings.
How does the PWRGD output behave during power-up and shutdown of the MCP1824T-3002E/DC?
During power-up, PWRGD remains low until VOUT reaches ≥2.76 V (92% of 3.0 V), then asserts high after a fixed 110 µs delay. During shutdown (SHDN pulled low), PWRGD immediately goes low. Hysteresis (2%) prevents false toggling if VOUT dips near threshold during transient conditions.
Can the MCP1824T-3002E/DC operate with a 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes-the MCP1824T-3002E/DC is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with ≥1.0 µF X7R ceramic output capacitors. This eliminates need for larger, higher-ESR alternatives and improves high-frequency PSRR and noise performance compared to tantalum or electrolytic types.
What thermal considerations apply to the MCP1824T-3002E/DC in SOT-223 package?
The SOT-223 package has θJA = 62°C/W on a 4-layer board. At 300 mA and 3.2 V input (0.2 V dropout), power dissipation is ~60 mW, resulting in ~3.7°C rise above ambient-well within safe limits. The exposed pad (EP) must be soldered to a thermal pad connected to GND for optimal heat transfer.
