Automotive qualified single output LDO

Micrel has released a high-performance low-dropout CMOS regulator (LDO) featuring a dropout of 100mV at 300mA. The MAQ5300 comes in a 6-pin, 2 x 2mm DFN package and is suited for space-constrained and high-reliability functions in automotive and industrial applications.

The MAQ5300 complies with the AEC-Q100 quality specifications and is supported with the requisite PPAP qualification data. The device features 300mA output current and is available in output voltage options of 1.5, 1.8, 2.5, 2.8, 2.85, 3.0, and 3.3V. Other features include an initial output voltage accuracy of ±2%, shutdown quiescent current of 0.1µA, thermal shutdown and current limit protection and an operational temperature range of -40 to 125°C

The devices are suitable for use in infotainment, camera module, image sensors, and GPS receivers and anywhere PCB space is limited.
