Product details
Overview
MIC37300-1.65BR from Microchip Technology is a 3A low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) with fixed 1.65V output, ±1.5% initial accuracy, and 340mV dropout at full load; it operates from 2.25V to 6V input and is used in FPGA core voltage regulation and low-noise analog subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the MIC37300-1.65BR datasheet, MIC37300-1.65BR pinout, MIC37300-1.65BR application, or MIC37300-1.65BR equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 3A, thermal shutdown behavior, reverse current protection, and SOIC-8 package thermal performance under sustained load.
Technical Context
The MIC37300-1.65BR integrates an internal PNP pass transistor with thermal foldback and overcurrent limiting. It delivers stable 1.65V output without external compensation and supports operation down to 2.25V input while maintaining regulation up to 3A.
Its enable pin (EN) provides logic-level on/off control with 1.2V threshold, and the device includes reverse-battery protection and no reverse current flow when disabled or input is shorted.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.65V ±1.5% at 25°C; ensures precise core rail for low-voltage FPGAs and ASICs. |
| Max Output Current | 3A continuous; supports high-current digital loads without external pass devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 340mV at 3A and 25°C; enables operation from single-cell Li-ion or 3.3V rails with margin. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.25V to 6V; compatible with post-regulated intermediate bus architectures. |
| Quiescent Current | 120µA typical; minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems. |
| PSRR | 60dB at 1kHz; suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOIC-8 (3.9mm × 4.9mm, 1.27mm pitch), thermally enhanced with exposed pad connected to GND for improved heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.25–6V; requires local 10µF ceramic input capacitor for stability. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for input, output, and thermal pad; must be low-impedance plane. |
| OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 1.65V at up to 3A; requires 22µF ceramic output capacitor for transient response. |
| EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input; pulls low (<0.4V) to disable regulator and reduce quiescent current to 1µA. |
| ADJ/SENSE | Output voltage sense | Internally tied to fixed 1.65V reference; not user-accessible in this variant. |
| NC | No connect | Pins 6 and 7 are unconnected; must remain floating per datasheet. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Thermal shutdown with foldback | Activates at 160°C junction temperature and reduces current to limit die temperature rise during overload. |
| Reverse battery protection | Blocks current flow when input polarity is reversed, preventing damage to downstream circuitry. |
| No reverse current conduction | Prevents backfeed from output to input when EN = low or input is shorted, eliminating need for external blocking diode. |
| Stable with ceramic capacitors | Guaranteed stability with 10µF input and 22µF output X5R/X7R ceramics-no ESR requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6210B162MR-G | 1.6V fixed output, 150mA max, SOT-25 package; lower current rating and no thermal foldback. | Suitable only for ultra-low-power microcontrollers-not for FPGA or high-current analog loads. | Select only if load current ≤150mA and thermal management is passive-only. |
| ON Semiconductor NCP1117ST165T3G | 1.65V fixed, 1A max, TO-220/SOT-223; higher dropout (1.1V @1A), no reverse protection. | Limited to low-current, non-automotive applications where reverse polarity risk is absent. | Choose only when cost is primary constraint and 3A capability is unnecessary. |
Compared with XC6210B162MR-G and NCP1117ST165T3G, the MIC37300-1.65BR uniquely supports 3A continuous current with integrated reverse-battery protection and thermal foldback-enabling single-device solutions in space-constrained, high-reliability FPGA and automotive subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature specification for MIC37300-1.65BR?
The MIC37300-1.65BR features thermal shutdown that activates at 160°C junction temperature, with foldback current limiting to sustain safe operation during prolonged overload. The device is rated for continuous operation up to 125°C ambient when properly heatsinked in SOIC-8 package, and its absolute maximum junction temperature is 150°C per Microchip's official datasheet revision D.
Does MIC37300-1.65BR require external compensation components?
No, the MIC37300-1.65BR is internally compensated and stable with standard ceramic capacitors-specifically 10µF at the input and 22µF at the output. No external resistors, capacitors, or feedback networks are needed, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count compared to adjustable LDOs.
Can MIC37300-1.65BR be used with a 2.5V input supply?
Yes, MIC37300-1.65BR operates with input voltages as low as 2.25V, making it fully compatible with a 2.5V input rail. At 2.5V input and 3A load, the dropout headroom is 850mV-well above the 340mV typical dropout-ensuring stable regulation and adequate thermal margin.
Is reverse current flow blocked when MIC37300-1.65BR is disabled?
Yes, MIC37300-1.65BR includes inherent reverse current blocking: when the EN pin is pulled low or the input is shorted, no current flows from OUT to IN. This eliminates the need for an external blocking diode in battery-backed or redundant supply systems.
What is the typical PSRR performance of MIC37300-1.65BR at 100kHz?
The MIC37300-1.65BR delivers 30dB PSRR at 100kHz, as specified in the official Microchip datasheet. This level of ripple rejection helps suppress high-frequency noise from adjacent switching regulators, particularly beneficial in mixed-signal PCB layouts where clock-domain isolation is critical.
