General Description
The MIC39300 and MIC39301 are 3.0A low-dropout linear voltage regulators that provide a low voltage, high-current output with a minimum of external components. Utilizing Micrel’s proprietary Super βeta PNP™ pass element, the MIC39300/1 offers extremely low dropout (typically 400mV at 3.0A) and low ground current (typically 36mA at 3.0A).

FEATUREs
• 3.0A minimum guaranteed output current
• 500mV maximum dropout voltage over temperature Ideal for 3.0V to 2.5V conversion
• 1% initial accuracy
• Low ground current
• Current limiting and Thermal shutdown
• Reversed-battery protection
• Reversed-leakage protection
• Fast transient response
• TO-263 and TO-220 packaging
• TTL/CMOS compatible enable pin (MIC39301 only)
• Error flag output (MIC39301 only)
