LDOs Provide Output Current of 300 mA / Input Voltage of 16V and High Noise Rejection
Microchip Technology Inc. announced the MCP1755 and MCP1755S high-performance, high-input-voltage and high-output-current family of CMOS Low-Dropout (LDO) voltage regulators. These LDOs can accept a wide input voltage range of 3.6-16V and deliver an output current of 300 mA at output voltages of 1.8-5.5V, while consuming only 68 µA of quiescent current (typical). Additionally, the MCP1755/1755S LDOs have a shutdown pin, enabling them to consume less than 0.1 µA (typical) during shutdown mode, which extends battery lifetimes.

To conserve space, the LDOs are offered in SOT and 2x3 mm DFN packages. These features provide designers with a high degree of flexibility for an extremely broad range of applications, such as medical, mobile devices and LED lighting controllers. Many of today’s electronic designs need to operate in environments that contain high levels of electrical and magnetic noise. Noise is generated when switching transients and RF signals get coupled onto power-supply lines.
Applications such as GFCI and AFCI circuit breakers, wireless devices, automotive-aftermarket electronics, and medical devices are sensitive to this power-supply noise. The MCP1755 and MCP1755S LDOs have a high Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) of 70 dB @ 1 kHz, which filters input noise and provides significantly cleaner output voltages, making them well suited for noise-sensitive applications.

“The MCP1755/S LDOs are ideal for designs with 9V and 12V power-supply rails, and their higher output current expands our high-performance LDO portfolio into a broader range of applications,” said Bryan J. Liddiard, marketing vice president of Microchip’s Analog & Interface Products Division. “Additionally, the high PSRR of these voltage regulators is great for applications that require very clean supply voltages.”
Both of the new LDOs are available today for sampling and volume production, starting at $0.45 each in 5,000-unit quantities. The MCP1755S is offered in 3-pin SOT223 and 8-pin, 2x3 mm DFN packages. The MCP1755 is available in 5-pin SOT223 and SOT23 packages, as well as the 8-pin, 2x3 mm DFN.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
