General Description:
The MCP1700 is a family of CMOS low dropout (LDO)
voltage regulators that can deliver up to 250 mA of
current while consuming only 1.6 µA of quiescent
current (typical). The input operating range is specified
from 2.3V to 6.0V, making it an ideal choice for two and
three primary cell battery-powered applications, as well
as single cell Li-Ion-powered applications.
The MCP1700 is capable of delivering 250 mA with
only 178 mV of input to output voltage differential
(V
OUT
= 2.8V). The output voltage tolerance of the
MCP1700 is typically ±0.4% at +25°C and ±3%
maximum over the operating junction temperature
range of -40°C to +125°C.
Output voltages available for the MCP1700 range from
1.2V to 5.0V. The LDO output is stable when using only
1 µF output capacitance. Ceramic, tantalum or
aluminum electrolytic capacitors can all be used for
input and output. Overcurrent limit and overtemperature
shutdown provide a robust solution for any application.
Package options include SOT-23, SOT-89, TO-92 and
2x2 DFN-6.

Load regulation is measured at a constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Changes in output

.
Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its measured
value with a V

The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of ambient temperature, the maximum allowable junction
temperature and the thermal resistance from junction to air (i.e., T
A
, T

JA
). Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation will cause the device operating junction temperature to exceed the maximum 150°C rating. Sustained
junction temperatures above 150°C can impact the device reliability.
The junction temperature is approximated by soaking the device under test at an ambient temperature equal to the
desired Junction temperature. The test time is small enough such that the rise in the Junction temperature over the
ambient temperature is not significant.
