CIRCUITS/ISSUES
Typical Application
In addition to the LDO pass element power dissipation,
there is power dissipation within the MCP1726 as a
result of quiescent or ground current. The power dissi-
pation as a result of the ground current can be
calculated using the following equation:
The MCP1726 is used for applications that require high
LDO output current and a power good output.

The total power dissipated within the MCP1726 is the
sum of the power dissipated in the LDO pass device
and the P(I
GND
) term. Because of the CMOS construc-
tion, the typical I
GND
for the MCP1726 is 140 碌A(chǔ).
Operating at a maximum of 3.63V results in a power
dissipation of 0.51 milli-Watts. For most applications,
this is small compared to the LDO pass device power
dissipation and can be neglected.
The maximum continuous operating junction tempera-
ture specified for the MCP1726 is +125
擄
C
.
To estimate
the internal junction temperature of the MCP1726, the
total internal power dissipation is multiplied by the ther-
mal resistance from junction to ambient (R胃
JA
) of the
device. The thermal resistance from junction to ambi-
ent for the 3X3DFN package is estimated at 41
擄
C/W.

The internal power dissipation within the MCP1726 is a
function of input voltage, output voltage, output current
and quiescent current. The following equation can be
used to calculate the internal power dissipation for the
