MIC29502WT – MICREL

The MIC29502WT, manufactured by Micrel, is a 5A adjustable positive voltage regulator integrated circuit housed in a TO-220-5 package. This linear regulator is designed for applications requiring a stable, low-dropout voltage source with a high current output. The adjustable output voltage is configured via external resistors, allowing for precise voltage setting based on application requirements. The TO-220-5 package provides adequate thermal dissipation for high-current operation, though external heatsinking may be required depending on the input voltage, output voltage, and load current. Internal protection features include overcurrent limiting and thermal shutdown, enhancing device reliability and preventing damage under fault conditions. The device requires external input and output capacitors for stability and transient response optimization, with recommended values specified in the manufacturer’s datasheet.
