World's first serial EEPROM supporting ACR SIG
Microchip has announced the world's first serial EEPROM supporting the Advanced Communications Riser Special Interest Group (ACR SIG) specification.
The LDO is stable with a 1uF ceramic output capacitor, reducing cost and board space.
The device also features a power good output with programmable delay option that allows engineers to program a system delay, providing additional flexibility for the design.
Other features include: a typical 140uA active supply current for optimum energy efficiency; a 150mV typical dropout voltage for the highest flexibility and fault tolerance; various shutdown and/or reset options; and a small 8-pin DFN package for space-constrained applications.
The MCP1726 LDO is available today for sampling and volume production in lead (Pb)-free 8-pin DFN and SOIC packages.
