General Description
The TC1263 is a fixed output, high accuracy (typically
±0.5%) CMOS low dropout regulator. Designed
specifically for battery-operated systems, the TC1263’s
CMOS construction eliminates wasted ground current,
significantly extending battery life. Total supply current
is typically 80µA at full load (20 to 60 times lower than
in bipolar regulators).
TC1263 key features include ultra low noise operation,
very low dropout voltage (typically 350mV at full load),
and fast response to step changes in load.
The TC1263 incorporates both over temperature and
over current protection. The TC1263 is stable with an
output capacitor of only 1µF and has a maximum
output current of 500mA. It is available in 8-Pin SOIC,
5-Pin TO-220 and 5-Pin DDPAK packages.
NOTE:
xx indicates output voltages.
Available Output Voltages: 2.5, 2.8, 3.0, 3.3, 5.0.
Other output voltages are available. Please contact Microchip

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 measured at a 1V
differential.
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 msec.
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 Section 4.0 Thermal Considerations for more details.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
3.2
ERROR Output
The TC1263 is a precision, fixed output LDO. Unlike
bipolar regulators, the TC1263’s supply current does
not increase with load current. In addition, V
OUT
remains stable and within regulation over the entire
0mA to I
LOAD
MAX
load current range (an important
consideration in RTC and CMOS RAM battery back-up
applications).
Figure 3-1 shows a typical application circuit.
ERROR is driven low whenever V
OUT
falls out of
regulation 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
regardless 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 3-2.
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 3-1, ERROR can be used as a
battery low flag, or as a processor RESET signal (with
the addition of timing capacitor C3). R1 x C3 should be
chosen to maintain ERROR below V
IH
of the processor
RESET input for at least 200 msec 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
V

HYSTERESIS (V
H
)
A 1µF (min) capacitor from V
OUT
to ground is required.
The output capacitor should have an effective series
resistance greater than 0.1Ω and less than 5Ω, and a
resonant frequency above 1MHz. 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 electrolytic 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.

The amount of power the regulator dissipates is
primarily a function of input and output voltage, and
output current. The following equation is used to
calculate worst case actual power dissipation:

In this example, the TC1263 dissipates a maximum of

similar manner, Equation 4-1 and Equation 4-2 can be
used to calculate maximum current and/or input
voltage limits. For example, the maximum allowable
V

power dissipation of 500mW into Equation 4-1, from
which V
