Power a SOT-23 Can Dissipate in an Application”,
DS00792, Microchip Technology Inc., 2001
Description
The MCP1702 is a family of CMOS low dropout (LDO)
voltage regulators that can deliver up to 250 mA of
current while consuming only 2.0 µA of quiescent
current (typical). The input operating range is specified
from 2.7V to 13.2V, making it an ideal choice for two to
six primary cell battery-powered applications, 9V
alkaline and one or two cell Li-Ion-powered
applications.
The MCP1702 is capable of delivering 250 mA with
only 625 mV (typical) of input to output voltage
differential (V
of the MCP1702 is typically ±0.4% at +25°C and ±3%
maximum over the operating junction temperature
range of -40°C to +125°C. Line regulation is ±0.1%
typical at +25°C.
Output voltages available for the MCP1702 range from
1.2V to 5.0V. The LDO output is stable when using only
1 µF of 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 the SOT-23A, SOT-89-3, and
TO-92.

(V
IN
Connect VIN to the input unregulated source voltage.
Like all LDO linear regulators, low source impedance is
necessary for the stable operation of the LDO. The
amount of capacitance required to ensure low source
impedance will depend on the proximity of the input
source capacitors or battery type. For most
applications, 1 µF of capacitance will ensure stable
operation of the LDO circuit. For applications that have
load currents below 100 mA, the input capacitance
requirement can be lowered. The type of capacitor
used can be ceramic, tantalum or aluminum
electrolytic. The low ESR characteristics of the ceramic
will yield better noise and PSRR performance at highfrequency.
A portion of the LDO output voltage is fed back to the
internal error amplifier and compared with the precision
internal bandgap reference. The error amplifier output
will adjust the amount of current that flows through the
P-Channel pass transistor, thus regulating the output
voltage to the desired value. Any changes in input
voltage or output current will cause the error amplifier
to respond and adjust the output voltage to the target
voltage (refer to Figure 4-1).
4.2Overcurrent
The MCP1702 internal circuitry monitors the amount of
current flowing through the P-Channel pass transistor.
In the event of a short-circuit or excessive output
current, the MCP1702 will turn off the P-Channel
device for a short period, after which the LDO will
attempt to restart. If the excessive current remains, the
cycle will repeat itself.
4.3Overtemperature
The internal power dissipation within the LDO is a
function of input-to-output voltage differential and load
current. If the power dissipation within the LDO is
excessive, the internal junction temperature will rise
above the typical shutdown threshold of 150°C. At that
point, the LDO will shut down and begin to cool to the
typical turn-on junction temperature of 130°C. If the
power dissipation is low enough, the device will
continue to cool and operate normally. If the power
dissipation remains high, the thermal shutdown
protection circuitry will again turn off the LDO,
protecting it from catastrophic failure.
The MCP1702 CMOS LDO linear regulator is intended
for applications that need the lowest current consumption while maintaining output voltage regulation. The
operating continuous load range of the MCP1702 is
from 0mA to 250mA (V
voltage range is from 2.7V to 13.2V, making it capable
of operating from two or more alkaline cells or single
and multiple Li-Ion cell batteries.
5.1Input
The input of the MCP1702 is connected to the source
of the P-Channel PMOS pass transistor. As with all
LDO circuits, a relatively low source impedance (10Ω)
is needed to prevent the input impedance from causing
the LDO to become unstable. The size and type of the
capacitor needed depends heavily on the input source
type (battery, power supply) and the output current
range of the application. For most applications (up to
100 mA), a 1 µF ceramic capacitor will be sufficient to
ensure circuit stability. Larger values can be used to
improve circuit AC performance.
≥ 2.5V). The input operating
R
5.2Output
The maximum rated continuous output current for the
MCP1702 is 250 mA (V
where VR < 2.5V, the maximum output current is
200 mA.
A minimum output capacitance of 1.0 µF is required for
small signal stability in applications that have up to
250 mA output current capability. The capacitor type
can be ceramic, tantalum or aluminum electrolytic. The
esr range on the output capacitor can range from 0Ω to
2.0Ω.
≥ 2.5V). For applications
R
5.3Output Rise time
When powering up the internal reference output, the
typical output rise time of 500 µs is controlled to
prevent overshoot of the output voltage. There is also
a startup delay time that ranges from 300 µs to 800 µs
based on loading. The startup time is separate from
and precedes the Output Rise Time. The total output
delay is the Startup Delay plus the Output Rise time.
The MCP1702 is most commonly used as a voltage
regulator. It’s low quiescent current and low dropout
voltage makes it ideal for many battery-powered
applications.

The MCP1702 can be used not only as a regulator, but
also as a low quiescent current voltage reference. In
many microcontroller applications, the initial accuracy
of the reference can be calibrated using production test
equipment or by using a ratio measurement. When the

from an EIA/JEDEC standard for measuring thermal
resistance for small surface mount packages. The EIA/
JEDEC specification is JESD51-7, “High Effective
Thermal Conductivity Test Board for Leaded Surface
Mount Packages”. The standard describes the test
method and board specifications for measuring the
thermal resistance from junction to ambient. The actual
thermal resistance for a particular application can vary
depending on many factors, such as copper area and
thickness. Refer to AN792, “A Method to Determine
How Much Power a SOT-23 Can Dissipate in an

6.5Pulsed Load Applications
For some applications, there are pulsed load current
events that may exceed the specified 250 mA
maximum specification of the MCP1702. The internal
current limit of the MCP1702 will prevent high peak
load demands from causing non-recoverable damage.
The 250 mA rating is a maximum average continuous
rating. As long as the average current does not exceed
250 mA, pulsed higher load currents can be applied to
the MCP1702
