MCP1702
6.5 Pulsed Load Applications
For some applications, there are pulsed load current
events that may exceed the specified 250 mA
maximum specification of the MCP1702. The internal
current limit of the MCP1702 will prevent high peak
load demands from causing non-recoverable damage.
The 250 mA rating is a maximum average continuous
rating. As long as the average current does not exceed
250 mA, pulsed higher load currents can be applied to
the MCP1702. The typical current limit for the
MCP1702 is 500 mA (TA +25°C).
