MIC2937A/29371/29372 Micrel, Inc. MIC2937A/29371/29372 750mA Low-Dropout Voltage Regulator General Description Features High output voltage accuracy The MIC2937A family are bulletproof efcient voltage regu- Guaranteed 750mA output lators with very low dropout voltage (typically 40mV at light Low quiescent current loads and 300mV at 500mA), and very low quiescent current Low dropout voltage (160A typical). The quiescent current of the MIC2937A in- Extremely tight load and line regulation creases only slightly in dropout, thus prolonging battery life. Very low temperature coefcient Key MIC2937A features include protection against reversed Current and thermal limiting battery, fold-back current limiting, and automotive load dump Input can withstand 20V reverse battery and +60V posi- protection (60V positive transient). tive transients The MIC2937 is available in several congurations. The Error ag warns of output dropout MIC2937A-xx devices are three pin xed voltage regulators Logic-controlled electronic shutdown with 3.3V, 5V, and 12V outputs available. The MIC29371 is Output programmable from 1.24V to 26V(MIC29372) a xed regulator offering logic compatible ON/OFF switching Available in TO-220, TO-263, TO-220-5, and TO-263-5 input and an error ag output. This ag may also be used as packages. a power-on reset signal. A logic-compatible shutdown input Applications is provided on the adjustable MIC29372, which enables the Battery Powered Equipment regulator to be switched on and off.
