Infineon BCR198WH6327: Low-Drop General Purpose Linear Voltage Regulator
The Infineon BCR198WH6327 is a low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator designed to deliver stable and reliable performance in a wide range of general-purpose applications. Housed in a compact SOT-89 package, this regulator combines efficiency with simplicity, making it an ideal choice for both consumer and industrial electronics where steady voltage regulation is critical.
One of the standout features of the BCR198WH6327 is its low dropout voltage, which ensures efficient operation even when the input voltage is only slightly higher than the output. This capability is particularly valuable in battery-powered devices, where maintaining regulation as the battery voltage declines helps extend operational life. With an output current capability of up to 500 mA, this regulator can support a variety of low- to medium-power circuits.
The device offers fixed output voltage options, simplifying design-in by reducing the need for external components. Its internal protection mechanisms, including overcurrent and thermal shutdown, enhance system reliability by safeguarding against fault conditions. Additionally, the BCR198WH6327 delivers excellent line and load regulation, minimizing output voltage variations despite fluctuations in input voltage or load current.
Typical applications include power management in automotive systems, portable devices, microcontrollers, sensors, and consumer accessories. Its robust performance and integration align with Infineon’s reputation for high-quality semiconductor solutions.
The Infineon BCR198WH6327 stands out as a versatile, efficient, and reliable LDO voltage regulator, well-suited for designs demanding stable power with minimal dropout.
