General Descripti on
The TC1017 is a high-accuracy (typically ±0.5%)
CMOS upgrade for bipolar Low Dropout regulators
(LDOs). It is offered in a SC-70 or SOT-23 package.
The SC-70 package represents a 50% footprint reduc-
tion vers us the po pular SOT-23 pack age and i s of fered
in two pinouts to make board layout easier.
Developed specifically for battery-powered systems,
the TC1017’s CMOS construction consumes only
53 µA typical supply current over the entire 150 mA
operat ing load range . This can be as much as 60 times
less tha n the quies cent opera ting curren t consum ed by
bipolar LD Os.
The TC1017 is designed to be stable, over the entire
input voltage and output current range, with low-value
(1 µF) ceramic or tantalum capacitors. This helps to
reduce board space and save cost. Additional inte-
grated features, such as shutdown, overcurrent and
overtemperature protection, further reduce the board
space and cost of the entire voltage-regulating
application.
Key performance parameters for the TC1017 include
low dropout voltage (285 mV typical at 150 mA output
current), low supply current while shutdown (0.05 µA
typical) and fast stable response to sudden input
voltage and load changes.

7: The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of ambient temperature, the maximum allowable junction
temperature and the thermal resistance from junction-to-air (i.e., TA, TJ, θJA). Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation causes the device to initiate thermal shutdown. Please see Section 5.1 “Thermal Shutdown”, for more
details.

3.0 PIN DESCRIPTIONS
The desc riptions of the pins are listed in Table 3-1.
TABLE 3-1: PIN FUNCTION TABLE
3.1 Shutdown Control Input (SHDN)
The regulator is fully enabled when a logic-high is
applied to SHDN . The regulator enters shutdown when
a logic-low is applied to this input. During shutdown, the
output voltage falls to zero and the supply current is
reduced to 0.05 µA (typ.)
3.2 Ground Terminal
For best performance, it is recommended that the
ground pin be tied to a ground plane.
3.3 Regulated Voltage Output (VOUT)
Bypass the regulated voltage output to GND with a
minimum capacitance of 1 µF. A ceramic bypass
capacitor is recomm ended for best performance.
3.4 Unregulated Supply Input (VIN)
The minimum VIN has to meet two conditions in order
to ensure that the output maintains regulation:
VIN 2.7V and VIN [(VR + 2.5%) + VDROPOUT]. The
maximum VIN should be less than or equal to 6V.
Power dissipation may limit VIN to a lower potential in
order to maintain a junction temperature below 125°C.
Refer to Section 5.0 “Thermal Considerations”, for
determining junction temperature.
It is recomm ended that VIN be byp assed to G ND wi th a
ceramic capacitor.

4.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The TC1017 is a precision, fixed-output, linear voltage
regulator. The internal linear pass element is a
P-channel MOSFET. As with all P-channel CMOS
LDOs, there is a body drain diode with the cathode
connected to VIN and the anode connected to VOUT
(Figure 4-1).
As is shown in Figure 4-1, the output voltage of the
LDO is sensed and divided down internally to reduce
external component count. The internal error amplifier
has a fixed bandgap reference on the inverting input
and the sensed output voltage on the non-inverting
input. The error amplifier output will pull the gate
voltage down until the inputs of the error amplifier are
equal to regulate the output voltage.
Outpu t ov erlo ad p rot ecti on i s im plem ent ed b y se nsi ng
the current in the P-channel MOSFET. During a shorted
or faulted load condition in which the output voltage
falls to less than 0.5V, the output current is limited to a
typical value of 120 mA. The current-limit protection
helps prevent excessive current from damaging the
Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
An internal thermal sensing device is used to monitor
the junc tion temperature of the LDO. When the sensed
temperature is over the set threshold of 160°C (typical),
the P-channel MOSFET is turned off. When the P-chan-
nel is off, the power dissipation internal to the device is
almost zero. The device cools until the junction temper-
ature is approximately 150°C and the P-channel is
turned on. If the internal power dissipation is still high
enough for the junction to rise to 160°C, it will again shut
off and cool. The maximum operating junction tempera-
ture of the device is 125°C. Steady-state operation at or
near the 1 60°C o vertempera ture p oint can l ead to p er-
manent damage of the device.
The output voltage VOUT rem a i ns stab l e ov er the en t ir e
input operating voltage range (2.7V to 6.0V) and the
entire lo ad range (0 mA to 150 mA). The output vol tage
is sensed through an internal resistor divider and
compared with a precision internal voltage reference.
Several fixed-output voltages are available by
changing the value of the internal resistor divider.
Figure 4-2 shows a typical application circuit. The
regulato r is enabled any time the shu t do w n in put p in i s
at or above VIH. It is shut down (disabled) any time the
shut down inpu t pin is below V IL. For ap plicatio ns where
the SHDN feature is not used, tie the SHD N pin direc tly
to the input supply voltage source. While in shutdown,
the supply current decreases to 0.006 µA (typical) and
the P-channel MOSFET is turned off.
As shown in Figure 4-2, batteries have inte rnal source
impedance. An input capacitor is used to lower the
input im pedance of the LDO. In some appli cations, high
input impedance can cause the LDO to become
unstable. Adding more input capacitance can
compensate for this.

4.1 Input Capacitor
Low input source impedance is necessary for the LDO
to operate properly. When operating from batteries, or
in applications with long lead length (> 10") between
the input s ou r ce a nd th e LD O, so me inpu t ca p ac itance
is required. A minimum of 0.1 µ F is recommended for
most applications and the capacitor should be placed
as close to the input of the LDO as is practical. Larger
input capacitors will help reduce the input impedance
and further reduce any high-frequency noise on the
input and output of the LDO.
4.2 Output Capacitor
A minimum output capacitance of 1 µF for the TC1017
is required for stability. The Equivalent Series Resis-
tance (ESR) requirements on the output capacitor are
betwee n 0 and 2 o hms. The out put ca pacitor s hould be
located as close to the LDO output as is practical.
Ceram ic materials X7R and X5R hav e low temperatur e
coefficients and are well within the acceptable ESR
range required. A typical 1 µF X5R 0805 ca pacitor has
an ES R of 5 0 mil li - o hm s. La r g er o ut p ut ca pac it o rs c an
be used w ith the TC101 7 to improv e dynam ic beha vior
and input ripple-rejection performance.
Ceramic, aluminum electrolytic or tantalum capacitor
types can be used. Since many aluminum electrolytic
capacitors freeze at approximately –30°C, ceramic or
solid tantalums are recommended for applications
operating below –25°C. When operating from sources
other than batteries, supply-noise rejection and
transient response can be improved by increasing the
value of the input and output capacitors and employing
pas siv e filtering techniq ue s.
4.3 Turn-On Response
The turn-on response is defined as two separate
response categories, wake-up time (tWK) and settling
time (tS).
The T C1017 ha s a fa st w ake-up time (10 µsec, typica l)
when released from shutdown. See Figure 4-3 for the
wake-up time designated as tWK. T he wa ke- up ti me is
defined as the time it takes for the output to rise to 2%
of the VOUT value after being released from shutdown.
The total turn-on response is defined as the settling
time (tS) (see Figure 4-3). Settling time (inclusive with
tWK) is defined as the condition when the output is
within 98% of its fully-enabled value (32 µsec, typical)
when released from shutdown. The settling time of the
output voltage is dependent on load conditions and
output capacitance on VOUT (RC response).
The table below demonstrates the typical turn-on
response timing for different input voltage power-up
frequencies: VOUT = 2.85V, VIN = 5.0V, IOUT = 60 mA
and COUT = 1 µF.

5.0 THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
5.1 Thermal Shutdown
Integrated thermal protection circuitry shuts the
regulator off when the die temperature exceeds
approximately 160°C. The regulator remains off until
the die temperature drops to approximately 150°C.
5.2 Power Dissipation: SC-70
The TC1017 is available in the SC-70 package. The
thermal resistance for the SC-70 package is
approximately 450°C/W when the copper area used in
the PCB layout is similar to the J EDEC J51-7 high ther-
mal conductivity standard or semi-G42-88 standard.
For applications with a larger or thicker copper area,
the thermal resistance can be lowered. See AN792, “A
Method to Determine How Much Power a SOT-23 Can
Dissipate in an Application”, DS00792, for a method to
determ ine the thermal resistance for a particular appli-
cation.
The TC1017 power dissipation capability is dependant
upon several variables: input voltage, output voltage,
load current, ambient temperature and maximum
junction temperature. The absolute maximum steady-
state junction temperature is rated at +125°C. The
power dissipation within the device is equal to:
EQUATION 5- 1:
The VIN x IGND term is typically very small when
compared to the (VIN–VOUT) x ILOAD term, simplifying
the powe r dissipation within the LDO to be:
EQUATION 5- 2:
To determine the maximum power dissipation
capability, the following equation is used:
EQUATION 5- 3:
Given the following example:
Find:
1. Internal pow e r diss ip a tio n:
2. Maximum allowable ambient temperature:
3. Maximum allowable power dissipation at
desired ambient:
In this example, the TC1017 dissipates approximately
158.5 mW and the junction temperature is raised 71°C
over the ambient. The absolute maximum power
dissip ati on is 15 5 mW when given a maxi mum amb ient
temperat ure of 55°C .
Input voltage, output voltage or load current limits can
also be deter mine d by subs titutin g know n va lues i n the
power dissipation equations.
Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2 depict typical maximum
power dissipation versus ambient temperature, as well
as typical maximum current versus ambient tempera-
ture, with a 1V input voltage to output voltage
differential, respectively.

5.3 Power Dissipation: SOT-23
The TC1017 is also availa ble in a SOT-23 package for
improv ed thermal performance. The ther mal resistance
for the SOT-23 package is approximately 255°C/W
when the copper area used in the printed circuit board
layout is similar to the JEDEC J51-7 low thermal
conductivity standard or semi-G42-88 standard. For
applications with a larger or thicker copper area, the
thermal resistance can be lowered. See AN792, “A
Method to Determine How Much Power a SOT-23 Can
Dissipate in an Application”, DS00792, for a method to

The TC1017 power dissipation capability is dependant
upon several variables: input voltage, output voltage,
load current, ambient temperature and maximum
junction temperature. The absolute maximum steady-
state junction temperature is rated at +125°C. The
power dissipation within the device is equal to:

EQUATION 5-6:
Given the following example:
Find:

2. Maximum allowable ambient temperature:
3. Maximum allowable power dissipation at
desired ambient:
In this example, the TC1017 dissipates approximately
158.5 mW and the junction temperature is raised
40.5°C over the ambient. The absolute maximum
power dissipation is 157 mW when given a maximum
ambient temperature of +85°C.
Input voltage, output voltage or load current limits can
also be deter mine d by subs titutin g know n va lues i n the
power dissipation equations.

power dissipation versus ambient temperature, as well
as typical maximum current versus ambient tempera-

5.4 Layout Considerations
The prim ary p a th for heat conduct ion ou t o f th e SC-7 0/
SOT-23 package is through the package leads. U sing
heavy wide traces at the pads of the device will facili-
tate the removal of the heat within the package, thus
lowering the thermal resistance RθJA. By l oweri ng the
