APPLICATION CIRCUITS AND

ISSUES

6.1

Typical Application

The MCP1804 is most commonly used as a voltage

regulator. Its low quiescent current and wide input

voltage make it ideal for Li-Ion and 12V battery-

powered applications.

POWER DISSIPATION

The internal power dissipation of the MCP1804 is a

function of input voltage, output voltage and output

current. The power dissipation resulting from the

quiescent current draw is so low it is insignificant

(50.0 µA x VIN). The following equation can be used to

calculate the internal power dissipation of the LDO.

EQUATION 6-1:

The maximum continuous operating temperature

specified for the MCP1804 is +85°C. To estimate the

internal junction temperature of the MCP1804, the total

internal power dissipation is multiplied by the thermal

resistance from junction to ambient (R

JA). The thermal

resistance from junction to ambient for the SOT-23 pin

package is estimated at 256°C/W.

EQUATION 6-2:

The maximum power dissipation capability for a

package can be calculated given the junction-

to-ambient thermal resistance and the maximum

ambient temperature for the application. The following

equation can be used to determine the package

maximum internal power dissipation.
