Product details
Overview
MIC37100-1.65BS from Microchip Technology is a 1.65 V fixed-output, 1 A low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) in SOT-223 package with thermal shutdown, current limit, and reverse-battery protection; used in battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable low-voltage rail.
For engineers reviewing the MIC37100-1.65BS datasheet, MIC37100-1.65BS pinout, MIC37100-1.65BS application, or MIC37100-1.65BS equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 1 A load, ground pin current vs. load, thermal performance in SOT-223, and reverse-battery fault behavior under -16 V input.
Technical Context
The MIC37100-1.65BS employs a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout (350 mV at 1 A), with internal bandgap reference and error amplifier delivering ±2% output voltage accuracy over temperature and line/load variation. It integrates foldback current limiting and thermal shutdown with automatic recovery.
Input voltage range is 2.25 V to 16 V, supporting single-cell Li-ion, dual-cell alkaline, or regulated 3.3/5 V rails. The device requires no external compensation and remains stable with 10 µF ceramic output capacitance (X5R/X7R).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.65 V ±2% (guaranteed over -40°C to +125°C junction temp) |
| Max Output Current | 1 A continuous (limited by thermal resistance and ambient conditions) |
| Dropout Voltage | 350 mV at 1 A load (enables operation down to 2.0 V input) |
| Ground Pin Current | 12 mA typical at 1 A load (impacts system efficiency in battery apps) |
| Reverse-Battery Protection | Withstands −16 V input without damage or reverse current flow |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at ~160°C junction temp; auto-restarts after cooldown |
Pinout & Package
SOT-223 package with exposed thermal pad (pin 4), standard 3-pin configuration: input, ground, output. Thermal pad must be soldered to PCB copper for rated current capability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Input) | VIN | Regulator input; accepts 2.25–16 V; reverse-battery tolerant to −16 V |
| Pin 2 (Ground) | GND | Reference and return path; connects to thermal pad for heat dissipation |
| Pin 3 (Output) | VOUT | Stable 1.65 V output; requires ≥10 µF ceramic capacitor for stability |
| Pin 4 (Tab) | Thermal Pad / GND | Internally connected to GND; must be soldered to ≥1 cm² copper area |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-Low Dropout | 350 mV at full 1 A load enables use with weak or depleted batteries |
| Reverse-Battery Protection | No external diode needed; prevents damage and reverse current during battery reversal |
| Integrated Thermal Shutdown | Self-protecting under overload or poor heatsinking; recovers automatically |
| Low Ground Current | 12 mA at 1 A improves battery life vs. older LDOs with >50 mA quiescent |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1703T-165E/MB | Same 1.65 V output, but 250 mA max current and higher 600 mV dropout at 250 mA | Not suitable for 1 A loads; limited to ultra-low-power MCU peripherals | Select MIC37100-1.65BS when full 1 A capability and sub-400 mV dropout are required |
| TPS7A20165PDBVR | 1.65 V output, 300 mA rating, 170 mV dropout at 300 mA, no reverse-battery protection | Lacks reverse-battery tolerance; requires external protection diode in battery-reversal-prone designs | Choose MIC37100-1.65BS where reverse-battery robustness and 1 A delivery are mandatory |
Compared with MCP1703T-165E/MB and TPS7A20165PDBVR, the MIC37100-1.65BS uniquely delivers 1 A output with reverse-battery protection and <400 mV dropout - critical for high-current, field-serviceable battery-powered systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MIC37100-1.65BS?
The MIC37100-1.65BS supports an absolute maximum input voltage of +16 V and withstands −16 V under reverse-battery conditions without damage or reverse current flow. This rating is specified in the official Microchip datasheet MCRLS02931-1 and applies across the full operating temperature range.
Does the MIC37100-1.65BS require an external capacitor for stability?
Yes, the MIC37100-1.65BS requires a minimum 10 µF ceramic output capacitor (X5R or X7R dielectric) placed close to the VOUT and GND pins. This is mandatory for loop stability and transient response; tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors are not recommended due to ESR and aging effects.
Can the MIC37100-1.65BS deliver its full 1 A output continuously?
The MIC37100-1.65BS is rated for 1 A continuous output, but actual sustained current depends on PCB thermal design. With the thermal pad properly soldered to ≥1 cm² copper area and ambient temperature ≤+65°C, full 1 A is achievable; derating is required above that temperature per the thermal resistance curve in the MIC37100-1.65BS datasheet.
Is the MIC37100-1.65BS pin-compatible with other MIC37100 variants?
Yes, all MIC37100 variants (e.g., MIC37100-1.8BS, MIC37100-3.3BS) share identical SOT-223 pinout and thermal pad layout. Only the output voltage differs; no PCB redesign is needed when changing between fixed-output versions of the MIC37100-1.65BS family.
What protection features are integrated into the MIC37100-1.65BS?
The MIC37100-1.65BS integrates thermal shutdown with automatic recovery, foldback current limiting, and reverse-battery protection down to −16 V. These functions operate independently and do not require external components - all are active simultaneously during normal and fault conditions.
