MIC29371-5.0BT Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The MIC29371-5.0BT is a linear voltage regulator IC from Microchip Technology designed to provide a fixed 5V output at up to 750mA. It features enable control and protection mechanisms such as over current and over temperature shutdown. This device is packaged in a TO-220-5 through-hole case and supports an input voltage up to 26V with a quiescent current of 300 µA. The MIC29371-5.0BT is classified as obsolete, making identification of alternative models with equivalent electrical and mechanical characteristics essential for continued support in designs requiring this function and footprint.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Equivalent substitute identification is strictly based on matching all specified key parameters. These include output configuration, output type, number of regulators, maximum input voltage, fixed output voltage, maximum output current, quiescent current, supply current, enable and protection features, rated operating temperature, mounting type, and package. Only parts that fully align with these technical criteria are considered functionally and mechanically substitutable for the MIC29371-5.0BT.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between MIC29371-5.0BT and MIC29371-5.0WT should be based on product availability, status, and compliance with relevant environmental certifications. MIC29371-5.0BT is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while MIC29371-5.0WT is active and ROHS3 compliant. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Which parameters determine if a substitute voltage regulator is compatible with MIC29371-5.0BT?
A1: Output configuration, output type, regulator count, input and output voltage ratings, output and supply currents, enable and protection features, operating temperature range, mounting type, and package must all match.
