General Description
The TC1054, TC1055 and TC1186 are high accuracy
(typically ±0.5%) CMOS upgrades for older (bipolar)
low dropout regulators. Designed specifically for
battery-operated systems, the devices’ CMOS
construction minimizes ground current, extending bat-
tery 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 low noise operation,
low dropout voltage – typically 85 mV (TC1054),
180 mV (TC1055) and 270 mV (TC1186) at full load —
and fast response to step changes in load. An error out-
put (ERROR) is asserted when the devices are out-of-
regulation (due to a low input voltage or excessive out-
put current). ERROR can be used as a low battery
warning or as a processor RESET signal (with the addi-
tion of an external RC network). Supply current is
reduced to 0.5 µA (max), with both V
OUT
and ERROR
disabled when the shutdown input is low. The devices
incorporate both over-temperature and over-current
protection.
The TC1054, TC1055 and TC1186 are stable with an
output capacitor of only 1 µF and have a maximum
output current of 50 mA, 100 mA and 150 mA,
respectively. For higher output current regulators,
please refer to the TC1173 (I
OUT
= 300 mA) data sheet
(DS21632).
