INTRODUCTION
The SOT23-5 Voltage Regulator Evaluation Board is designed to be used to facilitate 
the  evaluation of Microchip’s voltage regulators, or to be used as a standalone voltage 
regulator board.  Jumpers have been placed on the board to facilitate testing of specific 
voltage regulator parameters. The jumpers may also be used to select pull-up and pull-
down voltage levels.
The SOT23-5 Voltage Regulator Evaluation Board kit comes with a 1 uF ceramic input 
and output capacitor soldered to the board. A 10K resistor in series with the SHDN pin 
is also populated on the board. The PWRGD/ADJ pin has a 69.8 k
Ω resistor soldered 
to the board. The board has three more unpopulated resistor locations that may be 
used for loads and voltage adjustments. The board also has an unpopulated location 
that may be used for bypass capacitance.
