The MIC39150 and MIC39151 are 1.5A low-dropout linear voltage regulators that provide a low voltage, high current output with a minimum of external components. Utilizing Micrel's proprietary Super eta PNPTM pass element, the MIC39150/1 offers extremely low dropout (typically 375mV at 1.5A) and low ground current (typically 17mA at 1.5A). The MIC39150/1 is ideal for PC add-in cards that need to convert from 3.3V to 2.5V or 2.5V to 1.8V. A guaranteed maximum dropout voltage of 500mV over all operating conditions allows the MIC39150/1 to provide 2.5V from a supply as low as 3V or 1.8V from a supply as low as 2.3V. The MIC39150/1 also has fast transient response for heavy switching applications. This device requires only 10F of output capacitance to maintain stability and achieve fast transient response
