MIC37100/37101/37102 
1A Low-Voltage Cap LDO 
 
 
 
 
General Description Features 
The MIC37100, MIC37101, and MIC37102 are 1A low-
 Fixed and adjustable output voltages to 1.24V 
dropout, linear voltage regulators that provide low-voltage, 
 Cap Regulator, 10F ceramic output capacitor stable 
high-current output from an extremely small package. 
 280mV typical dropout at 1A 
Utilizing Micrels proprietary Super eta PNP pass 
 Ideal for 3.0V to 2.5V conversion 
element, the MIC37100/01/02 offers extremely low dropout 
 Ideal for 2.5V to 1.8V, 1.65V or 1.5V conversion 
(typically 280mV at 1A) and low ground current (typically 
 1A minimum guaranteed output current 
11mA at 1A). 
 1% initial accuracy 
The MIC37100 is a xed output regulator offered in the 
SOT-223 package. The MIC37101 and MIC37102 are  Low ground current 
xed and adjustable regulators, respectively, in a thermally 
 Current limiting and thermal shutdown 
enhanced power 8-pin SOIC (small outline package) and 
 Reversed-leakage protection 
the SOT-223 package. The MIC37102 is also available in 
 Fast transient response 
the S-PAK power package, for applications that require 
 Low-prole SOT-223 package 
higher power dissipation or higher operating ambient 
 Power SO-8 package 
temperatures. 
 S-PAK package (MIC37102 only) 
The MIC37100/01/02 is ideal for PC add-in cards that 
need to convert from standard 5V to 3.3V, 3.3V to 2.5V or  
2.5V to 1.8V or lower. A guaranteed maximum dropout 
Applications 
voltage of 500mV over all operating conditions allows the 
MIC37100/01/02 to provide 2.5V from a supply as low as  LDO linear regulator for PC add-in cards 
3V and 1.8V from a supply as low as 2.3V. 
 PowerPC power supplies 
The MIC37100/01/02 is fully protected with overcurrent 
 High-efciency linear power supplies 
limiting and thermal shutdown. Fixed output voltages of 
 SMPS post regulator 
1.5V, 1.65V, 1.8V, 2.5V and 3.3V are available on 
 Multimedia and PC processor supplies 
MIC37100/01 with adjustable output voltages to 1.24V on 
 Battery chargers 
MIC37102.
