Product Overview
The MCP1826S-3302E/DB from Microchip Technology is a 1A low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator with a fixed 3.3V output. It operates from 2.3V to 6V input with only 250 mV typical dropout at 1A, and features 120 uA typical quiescent current. The device is stable with a 1 uF ceramic output capacitor and is housed in a 3-pin SOT-223 package with AEC-Q100 qualification.
