General Description
The MCP1790/MCP1791 regulator provides up to 70 mA
of current. The input operating voltage range is specified
from 6.0V to 30V continuous, 48V absolute max, making
it ideal for automotive and commercial 12/24 VDC
systems.
The MCP1790/MCP1791 has a tight tolerance output
voltage load regulation of ±0.2% (typical) and a very
good line regulation at ±0.0002%/V (typical). The
regulator output is stable with ceramic, tantalum and
electrolytic capacitors. The MCP1790/MCP1791
regulator incorporates both thermal and short circuit
protection.
The MCP1790 is the 3-pin version of the MCP1790/
MCP1791 family. The MCP1791 is the 5-pin version
and incorporates a Shutdown input signal and a Power
Good output signal.
The regulator is specifically designed to operate in the
automotive environment and will survive +48V (43.5V
±10%) load dump transients and double-battery jumps.
The device is designed to meet the stringent quiescent
current requirements of the automotive industry. The
device is also designed for the commercial low voltage
fire alarm/detector systems, which use 24 VDC to
supply the required alarms throughout buildings. The
low ground current, 110 µA (typ.), of the CMOS device
will provide a power cost savings to the end users over
similar bipolar devices. Typical buildings using
hundreds of 24V powered fire and smoke detectors can
see substantial savings on energy consumption and
wiring gage reduction compared to bipolar regulators.
The MCP1790 device will be offered in the 3-pin
DD-PAK, and SOT-223 packages.
The MCP1791 device will be offered in the 5-pin
DD-PAK, and SOT-223 packages.
The MCP1790/MCP1791 will have a junction
temperature operating range of -40°C to +125°C.

V
R
is the nominal regulator output voltage.
Load regulation is measured at a constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Load regulation is
tested over a load range from 1 mA to the maximum specified output current.
The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of ambient temperature, the maximum allowable junction
temperature and the thermal resistance from junction to air. (i.e., T
A
, T
J
,
θ
JA
). Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation will cause the device operating junction temperature to exceed the maximum 165°C rating. Sustained
junction temperatures above 165°C can impact the device reliability.
The junction temperature is approximated by soaking the device under test at an ambient temperature equal to the
desired Junction temperature. The test time is small enough such that the rise in the Junction temperature over the
ambient temperature is not significant.
Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to-output voltage differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its
nominal value that was measured with an input voltage of V

+ V
DROPOUT(MAX)
.
Sustained junction temperatures above 165°C can impact the device reliability.
The Short Circuit Recovery Time test is done by placing the device into a short circuit condition and then removing the
short circuit condition before the device die temperature reaches 125 °C. If the device goes into thermal shutdown, then
the Short Circuit Recovery Time will depend upon the thermal dissipation properties of the package and circuit board.
