DESCRIPTION
The MP2018 is a low-power linear regulator
that supplies power to systems with highvoltage batteries. The MP2018 includes a wide
3V to 16V input voltage range, low dropout
voltage, and low quiescent supply current. The
low quiescent current and low dropout voltage
allow the MP2018 to operate at extremely low
power levels. Therefore, the MP2018 is ideal for
low-power microcontrollers and batterypowered equipment.
The MP2018 provides two fixed output voltage
options: 3.3V and 5.0V.
The regulator output current is limited internally,
and the device is protected against short-circuit,
overload, and over-temperature conditions. The
MP2018 also includes thermal shutdown and
current-limiting fault protection.
The MP2018 is available in a TO252-5
package.
