General Description:
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 versus the popular SOT-23 package and is offered
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
operating load range. This can be as much as 60 times
less than the quiescent operating current consumed by
bipolar LDOs.
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.

Regulation is measured at a constant junction temperature using low duty-cycle pulse testing. Load regulation is tested
over a load range from 0.1 mA to the maximum specified output current. Changes in output voltage due to heating
effects are covered by the thermal regulation specification.
5:
Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to-output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal
value at a 1V differential.
6:
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

at V

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

). Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation causes the device to initiate thermal shutdown. Please see

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
The descriptions 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 (V
OUT
)
Bypass the regulated voltage output to GND with a
minimum capacitance of 1 µF. A ceramic bypass
capacitor is recommended for best performance.
3.4
Unregulated Supply Input (V
IN
)
The minimum V
IN
has to meet two conditions in order
to ensure that the output maintains regulation:
V
IN
2.7V and V
IN
[(V
R
+ 2.5%) + V
DROPOUT
]. The
maximum V
IN
should be less than or equal to 6V.
Power dissipation may limit V
IN
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 recommended that V
IN
be bypassed to GND with a
ceramic capacitor.

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 V
IN
and the anode connected to V
OUT
(
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.
Output overload protection is implemented by sensing
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 junction 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 tem-
perature 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 160°C overtemperature point can lead to per-
manent damage of the device.
The output voltage V
OUT
remains stable over the entire
input operating voltage range (2.7V to 6.0V) and the
entire load range (0 mA to 150 mA). The output voltage
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
regulator is enabled any time the shutdown input pin is
at or above V
IH
. It is shut down (disabled) any time the
shutdown input pin is below V
IL
. For applications where
the SHDN feature is not used, tie the SHDN pin directly
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 internal source
impedance. An input capacitor is used to lower the
input impedance of the LDO. In some applications, high
input impedance can cause the LDO to become
unstable. Adding more input capacitance can
compensate for this.
