The MIC4680-3.3YM is a high-performance 3.3V low-dropout voltage regulator (LDO) produced by Micrel Inc. It is a popular integrated circuit (IC) component designed specifically for applications that require a stable and regulated power supply. The MIC4680-3.3YM offers several key features that make it suitable for a wide range of electronic devices.
One of the main features of the MIC4680-3.3YM is its low dropout voltage, which ensures that the output voltage remains constant even when the input voltage drops close to the desired output voltage. This capability is crucial for devices that are powered by a battery or when the input voltage fluctuates. The ultra-low dropout voltage of this LDO is typically as low as 100mV at a maximum load current of 1A, enabling efficient power regulation in power-constrained applications.
The MIC4680-3.3YM is capable of delivering a maximum output current of 1.5A, making it suitable for a variety of small and medium-sized electronic devices. It operates within a wide input voltage range of 2.5V to 13.2V, allowing it to accommodate various power supply sources.
The LDO also features an ultra-fast transient response, which means it can quickly respond to load variations, ensuring stable and reliable power supply to the device. It includes a precision reference voltage source, which contributes to its excellent load regulation and low temperature coefficient
