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 50 µA 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 85 mV, TC1072 and 180 mV,
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 0.5 µA (max)
and both V
OUT
and ERROR are disabled when the
shutdown input is low. The devices incorporate both
overtemperature and overcurrent protection.
The TC1072 and TC1073 are stable with an output
capacitor of only 1 µF and have a maximum output
current of 50 mA, and 100 mA, respectively. For higher
output current versions, please see the TC1185,
TC1186, TC1187 (I
OUT
= 150 mA) and TC1107,
TC1108 and TC1173 (I

= 300 mA) data sheets.

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.
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
L
MAX
at V
IN
= 6V for T = 10 ms.
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

θ

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