TC1017-3.0VCTTR

The TC1017-3.0VCTTR from Microchip Technology is a high-accuracy CMOS low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator designed for battery-powered applications. It delivers a stable 3V output voltage with a maximum output current of 150mA. The device is notable for its extremely low operating current of 53 µA typical, which significantly extends battery life in portable systems.

Key electrical characteristics include a very low dropout voltage, typically 285 mV at 150 mA output current, and a power-saving shutdown mode with a quiescent current of only 0.05 µA typical. The regulator also incorporates overcurrent and overtemperature protection features for enhanced reliability. It is designed to be stable with a low output capacitance of 1 µF ceramic or tantalum, reducing board space and cost.

This LDO regulator is supplied in a compact SOT-23-5 package, making it suitable for space-constrained designs. The SOT-23-5 package is a surface-mount type, facilitating automated assembly processes. Its operating temperature range is -40°C to 125°C, making it suitable for a wide variety of environmental conditions.

Applications for the TC1017-3.0VCTTR include cellular phones, battery-operated systems, portable computers, medical instruments, and electronic games where efficient power management and small footprint are critical.
