MCP1827/MCP1827S
4.0
The MCP1827/MCP1827S is a high output current,
Low Dropout (LDO) voltage regulator. The low dropout
voltage of 330 mV typical at 1.5A of current makes it
ideal for battery-powered applications. Unlike other
high output current LDOs, the MCP1827/MCP1827S
only draws a maximum of 220 µA of quiescent current.
The MCP1827 has a shutdown control input and a
power good output.
4.1
The 5-pin MCP1827 LDO is available with either a fixed
output voltage or an adjustable output voltage. The
output voltage range is 0.8V to 5.0V for both versions.
The 3-pin MCP1827S LDO is available as a fixed
voltage device.
4.1.1
The adjustable version of the MCP1827 uses the ADJ
pin (pin 5) to get the output voltage feedback for output
voltage regulation. This allows the user to set the
output voltage of the device with two external resistors.
The nominal voltage for ADJ is 0.41V.

The MCP1827/MCP1827S LDO is tested and ensured
to supply a minimum of 1.5A of output current. The
MCP1827/MCP1827S has no minimum output load, so
the output load current can go to 0 mA and the LDO will
continue to regulate the output voltage to within
tolerance.
The MCP1827/MCP1827S also incorporates an output
current limit. If the output voltage falls below 0.7V due
to an overload condition (usually represents a shorted
load condition), the output current is limited to 2.2A
(typical). If the overload condition is a soft overload, the
MCP1827/MCP1827S will supply higher load currents
of up to 3A. The MCP1827/MCP1827S should not be
operated in this condition continuously as it may result
in failure of the device. However, this does allow for
device usage in applications that have higher pulsed
load currents having an average output current value of
1.5A or less.
Output overload conditions may also result in an
over-temperature shutdown of the device. If the
junction temperature rises above 150°C, the LDO will
shut down the output voltage. See Section 4.8
“Overtemperature Protection” for more information
on overtemperature shutdown.
4.3
The MCP1827/MCP1827S requires a minimum output
capacitance of 1 µF for output voltage stability. Ceramic
capacitors are recommended because of their size,
cost and environmental robustness qualities.
Aluminum-electrolytic and tantalum capacitors can be
used on the LDO output as well. The Equivalent Series
Resistance (ESR) of the electrolytic output capacitor
must be no greater than 1 ohm. The output capacitor
should be located as close to the LDO output as is
practical. Ceramic materials X7R and X5R have low
temperature coefficients and are well within the
acceptable ESR range required. A typical 1 µF X7R
0805 capacitor has an ESR of 50 milli-ohms.
Larger LDO output capacitors can be used with the
MCP1827/MCP1827S
performance and power supply ripple rejection
performance. A maximum of 22 µF is recommended.
Aluminum-electrolytic capacitors are not recom-
mended for low-temperature applications of ≤ 25°C.
