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.
