General Description
The TC2054, TC2055 and TC2186 are high accuracy
(typically ±0.4%) CMOS upgrades for older (bipolar)
low dropout regulators. Designed specifically for
battery-operated systems, the devices’ total supply
current is typically 55 µA at full load (20 to 60 times
lower than in bipolar regulators).
The devices’ key features include low noise operation,
low dropout voltage – typically 45 mV (TC2054); 90 mV
(TC2055); and 140 mV (TC2186) 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). Supply current is reduced to
0.5 µA (maximum) and both V
OUT
and ERROR are
disabled when the shutdown input is low. The devices
also incorporate overcurrent and overtemperature
protection.
The TC2054, TC2055 and TC2186 are stable with a
low esr ceramic output capacitor of 1 µF and have a
maximum output current of 50 mA, 100 mA and
150 mA, respectively. This LDO Family also features a
fast response time (60 µs typically) when released from
shutdown.

Regulation is measured at a constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Load regulation is tested
over a load range from 1.0 mA 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 at a 1V differential.
8:
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
MAX
at V
IN
= 6V for T = 10 ms.
