Micrel Powers Up Newest Family of Single Supply LDOs with Input Voltages as Low as 1.65V
Micrel now offers the MIC6910x/15x/30x, a
new family of very low voltage linear
regulators. These devices are part of a new
high current, LDO family operating from a
single input voltage supply as low as 1.65V.
Designed to operate at very low input and out
voltages, this family of LDOs is aimed at the
industrial, medical, communications, computing
and consumer markets. The typical
solutions targeted include servers/routers,
computing peripherals, LCD/Plasma TV and
industrial/medical point-of-load applications.
The ICs address an industry wide trend to move
to lower voltage rails. The family is available in 3A
output (MIC69301/2), a 1.5A output (MIC69151/3)
and a 1A output (MIC69101/3). By offering
differing current levels, mixed with a range of
packages, these LDOs are suitable for a wide
variety of applications. All of these products have
a single supply operation from 5.5V down to 1.65V
with a ±1% initial accuracy. These parts are
very robust and offer protection features such as
thermal shutdown and current limit as well as
featuring excellent line and load regulation.
The MIC69xx family is very similar to the
MIC68200/400 except it doesn't include features
such as sequencing and tracking.
