General Description
The TC1107 is a fixed output, high accuracy (typically
±0.5%) CMOS upgrade for older (bipolar) low dropout
regulators. Total supply current is typically 50
A at full
load (20 to 60 times lower than in bipolar regulators).
TC1107 key features include ultra low noise operation
(plus optional Bypass input); very low dropout voltage
(typically 240mV at full load), and fast response to step
changes in load. Supply current is reduced to 0.05
A
(typical) and V
OUT
falls to zero when the shutdown
input is low.
The TC1107 incorporates both over temperature and
over current protection. The TC1107 is stable with an
output capacitor of only 1
F and has a maximum
output current of 300mA.

Regulation is measured at a constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Load regulation is tested over a load range
from 0.1mA to the maximum specified output current. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered by the thermal
regulation specification.
4:
Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal value measured at a
1V differential.
5:
Thermal Regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time T after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load or
line regulation effects. Specifications are for a current pulse equal to I
L

at V
IN

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., T

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The TC1107 is a precision regulator available in fixed
voltages. Unlike bipolar regulators, the TC1107’s
supply current does not increase with load current. In
addition, V
OUT
remains stable and within regulation
over the entire 0mA to I
OUT
MAX
operating load current
range, (an important consideration in RTC and CMOS
RAM battery back-up applications).
Figure 3-1 shows a typical application circuit. The
regulator is enabled any time the shutdown input
(SHDN) is at or above V
IH
, and shutdown (disabled)
when SHDN is at or below V
IL
. SHDN may be
controlled by a CMOS logic gate, or I/O port of a
microcontroller. If the SHDN input is not required, it
should be connected directly to the input supply. While
in shutdown, supply current decreases to 0.05
A
(typical), V
OUT
falls to zero.
FIGURE 3-1:
TYPICAL APPLICATION
CIRCUIT
3.1
Output Capacitor
A 1
F (min) capacitor from V
OUT
to ground is required.
The output capacitor should have an effective series
resistance greater than 0.1
and less than 5.0. A 1F
capacitor should be connected from V
IN
to GND if there
is more than 10 inches of wire between the regulator
and the AC filter capacitor, or if a battery is used as the
power source. Aluminum electrolytic or tantalum
capacitor types can be used. (Since many aluminum
electrolytic capacitors freeze at approximately -30°C,
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
passive filtering techniques.
3.2
Bypass Input
A 470pF capacitor connected from the Bypass input to
ground reduces noise present on the internal
reference, which in turn significantly reduces output
noise. If output noise is not a concern, this input may be
left unconnected. Larger capacitor values may be
used, but results in a longer time period to rated output
voltage when power is initially applied.

THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
4.1
Thermal Shutdown
Integrated thermal protection circuitry shuts the
regulator off when die temperature exceeds 150°C.
The regulator remains off until the die temperature
drops to approximately 140°C.
4.2
Power Dissipation
The amount of power the regulator dissipates is
primarily a function of input and output voltage, and
output current. The following equation is used to
calculate worst case actual power dissipation:
EQUATION 4-1:
The maximum allowable power dissipation (Equation
4-2) is a function of the maximum ambient temperature
(T
A
MAX
), the maximum allowable die temperature
(T
J
MAX
) and the thermal resistance from junction-to-air
(
JA
). The 8-Pin SOIC package has a
JA
of
approximately 160°C/Watt, while the 8-Pin MSOP
package has a
JA
of approximately 200°C/Watt.
EQUATION 4-2:
Equation 4-1 can be used in conjunction with Equation
4-2 to ensure regulator thermal operation is within
limits. For example:
Given:
V
IN
MAX
= 3.0V + 10%
V
OUT
MIN
= 2.7V – 2.5%
I

= 250mA

LOAD
MAX
= [(3.0 x 1.1) – (2.7 x .975)]250 x 10
–3
= 167mW
Maximum allowable power dissipation:
In this example, the TC1107 dissipates a maximum of
167mW; below the allowable limit of 318mW. In a
similar manner, Equation 4-1 and Equation 4-2 can be
used to calculate maximum current and/or input
voltage limits.
4.3
Layout Considerations
The primary path of heat conduction out of the package
is via the package leads. Therefore, layouts having a
ground plane, wide traces at the pads, and wide power
supply bus lines combine to lower
JA
and therefore
increase the maximum allowable power dissipation
limit.
