Microchip Technology TC2117-3.3VDBTR

The TC2117-3.3VDBTR is a high-performance, fixed-output voltage regulator from Microchip Technology, designed to deliver up to 800mA of continuous output current. This regulator operates within an input voltage range of 2.5V to 6.0V, making it suitable for a wide array of applications in various electronic devices. The device provides a fixed output voltage of 3.3V, which is a common requirement for many digital circuits and microcontroller-based systems.

With its low dropout voltage characteristic, the TC2117-3.3VDBTR maintains regulation while the input voltage is very close to the output voltage, thus enhancing its efficiency and making it ideal for battery-operated devices. The low dropout voltage also extends battery life by allowing the system to operate for longer periods before the battery voltage falls below the dropout voltage.

The TC2117-3.3VDBTR incorporates several protective features to ensure the reliability and longevity of your application. These include over-temperature and over-current protection, which safeguard the device and the system against excessive heat and current conditions that could potentially cause damage. Additionally, the regulator has a thermal shutdown feature that turns off the output when the internal junction temperature exceeds safe operating limits.

One of the key advantages of this voltage regulator is its small footprint. It is available in a 5-pin SOT-223 package, which makes it an excellent choice for space-constrained applications. The package is designed for optimal power dissipation, which is crucial for maintaining thermal performance and reliability.

Whether you're developing power management solutions for portable devices, consumer electronics, or industrial equipment, the TC2117-3.3VDBTR from Microchip Technology provides a robust, efficient, and compact voltage regulation solution that can meet the demands of your application.
