The MCP1703AT-1802E/DB is an IC (Integrated Circuit) component that belongs to the MCP1703AT series and is manufactured by Microchip Technology Inc. It is a low dropout voltage regulator (LDO) designed to provide stable and regulated power supply for various electronic applications. With its compact form factor and exceptional performance, it has gained popularity among designers and developers.
Here are some key features of the MCP1703AT-1802E/DB:
1. Regulator Type: This IC component is an LDO voltage regulator, which means it regulates the output voltage even when the input voltage is only slightly higher than the desired output voltage.
2. Output Voltage: The MCP1703AT-1802E/DB has a fixed output voltage of 1.8V, making it suitable for devices that require a stable power supply at this specific voltage level.
3. Dropout Voltage: With an ultra-low dropout voltage of just 178mV (max), this component can maintain the output voltage even when the input voltage is close to the desired output voltage, resulting in minimal power loss across the regulator.
4. Output Current: It is capable of providing a continuous output current of up to 250mA, making it suitable for a wide range of low-power applications.
5. Low Quiescent Current: The quiescent current, also known as the ground current, is the current consumed by the regulator itself
