TC1072/TC1073
General Description
The TC1072 and TC1073 are high accuracy (typically
±0.5%) CMOS upgrades for older (bipolar) low dropout
regulators. Designed specifically for battery-operated
systems, the devices’ CMOS construction eliminates
wasted ground current, significantly extending battery
life. Total supply current is typically 50µA at full load (20
to 60 times lower than in bipolar regulators).
The devices’ key features include ultra low noise
operation (plus optional Bypass input); very low
dropout voltage (typically 85mV, TC1072 and 180mV,
TC1073 at full load) and fast response to step changes
in load. An error output (ERROR) is asserted when the
devices are out-of-regulation (due to a low input
voltage or excessive output current). ERROR can be
used as a low battery warning or as a processor
RESET signal (with the addition of an external RC
network). Supply current is reduced to 0.5µA (max) and
both V
OUT
and ERROR are disabled when the
shutdown input is low. The devices incorporate both
over-temperature and over-current protection.
The TC1072 and TC1073 are stable with an output
capacitor of only 1µF and have a maximum output
current of 50mA, and 100mA respectively. For higher
output current versions, please see the TC1185,
TC1186, TC1187 (I
OUT
= 150mA) and TC1107, TC1108
and TC1173 (I

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.
Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal value.
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

Unregulated supply input.
Ground terminal.
Shutdown control input. The regulator is fully enabled when a logic high is applied to this
input. The regulator enters shutdown when a logic low is applied to this input. During
shutdown, output voltage falls to zero and supply current is reduced to 0.05µA (typical).
Out-of-Regulation Flag. (Open drain output). This output goes low when V
OUT
is out-of-
tolerance by approximately – 5%.
Reference bypass input. Connecting a 470pF to this input further reduces output noise.
