GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC1173 is a precision output (typically
±0.5%)
CMOS low dropout regulator. Total supply current is typi-
cally 50µA at full load
(20 to 60 times lower than in bipolar
regulators
!).
TC1173 key features include ultra low noise operation
(plus optional Bypass input); very low dropout voltage
(typically 240mV at full load) and internal feed-forward
compensation for fast response to step changes in load. An
error output (ERROR) is asserted when the TC1173 is out-
of-regulation (due to a low input voltage or excessive output
current). ERROR can be set as a low battery warning or as
a processor RESET signal (with the addition of an external
RC network). Supply current is reduced to 0.05µA (typical)
and V
OUT
and ERROR fall to zero when the shutdown input
is low.
The TC1173 incorporates both over-temperature and
over-current protection. The TC1173 is stable with an output
capacitor of only 1µF and has a maximum output current of
300mA.

3. 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
LMAX
at V
IN
= 6V for T = 10msec.
6. 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
A
, T
J
,
θ
JA
). Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation causes the device to initiate
thermal shutdown. Please see

TC1173
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The TC1173 is a fixed output, low drop-out regulator.
Unlike bipolar regulators, the TC1173 supply current does not
increase with load current. In addition, V
OUT
remains stable and
within regulation at very low load currents (an important consid-
eration in RTC and CMOS RAM battery back-up applications).
TC1173 pin functions are detailed below:
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 0.05µA (typical),
V
OUT
falls to zero and ERROR is disabled.
ERROR Output
ERROR is driven low whenever V
OUT
falls out of regu-
lation by more than – 5% (typical). This condition may be
caused by low input voltage, output current limiting, or
thermal limiting.
The ERROR threshold is 5% below rated V
OUT
regard-
less of the programmed output voltage value (e.g., ERROR
= V
OL
at 4.75V (typ) for a 5.0V regulator and 2.85V (typ) for
a 3.0V regulator). ERROR output operation is shown in
Figure 2. Note that ERROR is active when V
OUT
is at or
below V
TH
, and inactive when V
OUT
is above V
TH
+ V
H
.
As shown in Figure 1, ERROR can be used as a battery
low flag, or as a processor RESET signal (with the addition
of timing capacitor C2). R1 x C3 should be chosen to
maintain ERROR below V
IH
of the processor RESET input
for at least 200msec to allow time for the system to stabilize.
Pull-up resistor R1 can be tied to V
OUT
, V
IN
or any other
voltage less than (V
IN
+ 0.3V.)

Output Capacitor
A 1µF (min) capacitor from V
OUT
to ground is recom-
mended. The output capacitor should have an effective
series resistance of 5Ω or less. A 1µF 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 electro-
lytic 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.

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.
Equation 1 can be used in conjunction with Equation 2
to ensure regulator thermal operation is within limits. For

Thermal Considerations
Thermal Shutdown
Integrated thermal protection circuitry shuts the regula-
tor off when die temperature exceeds 150°C. The regulator
remains off until the die temperature drops to approximately
140°C.
Power Dissipation
The amount of power the regulator dissipates is prima-
rily a function of input and output voltage, and output current.
The following equation is used to calculate worst case

= 350mW
In this example, the TC1173 dissipates a maximum of
only 155mW; far below the allowable limit of 350mW. In a
similar manner, Equation 1 and Equation 2 can be used to
calculate maximum current and/or input voltage limits. For
example, the maximum allowable V
IN
is found by substitut-
ing the maximum allowable power dissipation of 350mW
into Equation 1, from which V
IN
MAX
= 4.1V.
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.
The maximum
allowable
power dissipation (Equation 2)
is a function of the maximum ambient temperature (T

),
the maximum allowable die temperature (125°C), and the
