TC682EPA  

DC Switching Voltage Regulators

TC682EPA Description

The TC682EPA is a high-performance, fixed output voltage regulator designed by Microchip Technology. It belongs to the Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) category and is specifically tailored for applications requiring a reliable and efficient power solution. This regulator employs a charge pump topology, offering a compact and effective means of voltage conversion. The TC682EPA is housed in an 8-pin DIP package, making it suitable for through-hole mounting, which is ideal for applications where surface-mount technology is not feasible.

TC682EPA Features

• Output Type: Fixed, ensuring a stable output voltage without the need for external components to set the voltage level.
• Voltage - Input (Min/Max): Operates within a wide input voltage range of 2.4V to 5.5V, making it versatile for various power sources.
• Current - Output: Capable of delivering a consistent 10mA output current, suitable for low-power applications.
• Output Configuration: Negative output configuration, which is beneficial for applications requiring a negative voltage supply.
• Function: Ratiometric, meaning the output voltage is proportional to the input voltage, ensuring consistent performance across different input levels.
• Frequency - Switching: Operates at a switching frequency of 12kHz, which balances efficiency and electromagnetic interference (EMI) considerations.
• Compliance: REACH Unaffected and ROHS3 Compliant, ensuring environmental and regulatory standards are met.
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating high resistance to moisture, which enhances reliability in various environmental conditions.
• Synchronous Rectifier: No synchronous rectifier is used, simplifying the design and reducing component count.
• ECCN: EAR99, indicating compliance with export regulations.
• Topology: Charge Pump, which provides a simple and efficient method for voltage conversion.
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, suitable for applications requiring robust mechanical stability.
• Number of Outputs: Single output, simplifying the design for applications requiring a single regulated voltage.
• Package: Tube packaging, which is convenient for handling and storage during manufacturing processes.
