The LM1117MPX-2.5/NOPB is a popular IC (integrated circuit) component designed to regulate voltage in various electronic applications. It is a low-dropout linear regulator that offers stable and precise output voltage with minimal power dissipation. This IC is manufactured by Texas Instruments and is widely used in power management circuits.
One of the key features of the LM1117MPX-2.5/NOPB is its ability to provide a fixed output voltage of 2.5 volts. This makes it suitable for circuits that require a steady voltage supply at this specific level. The IC has a voltage reference, error amplifier, and pass element, which work together to ensure accurate voltage regulation.
Another notable feature of this IC is its low dropout voltage. The dropout voltage refers to the minimum voltage difference between the input and output voltages required for the regulator to function properly. With a dropout voltage as low as 1.2 volts, the LM1117MPX-2.5/NOPB can regulate the voltage effectively even when the input voltage is close to the output voltage.
The LM1117MPX-2.5/NOPB is capable of delivering an output current of up to 800 mA, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It has a built-in current limit and thermal shutdown protection, safeguarding the IC and the connected components from excessive current flow and overheating.
This IC also offers excellent line and load regulation characteristics
