TC1014/TC1015/TC1185
General Description
The TC1014/TC1015/TC1185 are high accuracy
(typically ±0.5%) CMOS upgrades for older (bipolar)
low dropout regulators such as the LP2980. Designed
specifically for battery-operated systems, the devices’
CMOS construction eliminates wasted ground current,
significantly extending battery life. Total supply current
is typically 50µA at full load (20 to 60 times lower than
in bipolar regulators).
The devices’ key features include ultra low noise oper-
ation (plus optional Bypass input), fast response to step
changes in load, and very low dropout voltage –
typically 85mV (TC1014); 180mV (TC1015); and
270mV (TC1185) at full load. Supply current is reduced
to 0.5µA (max) and V
OUT
falls to zero when the
shutdown input is low. The devices incorporate both
over-temperature and over-current protection.
The TC1014/TC1015/TC1185 are stable with an output
capacitor of only 1µF and have a maximum output
current of 50mA, 100mA and 150mA, respectively. For
higher output current regulators, please see the
TC1107/TC1108/TC1173 (I
OUT
= 300mA) 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 1.0mA 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.
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

). Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation causes the device to initiate

Shutdown control input. The regulator is fully enabled when a logic high is applied to this input.
The regulator enters shutdown when a logic low is applied to this input. During shutdown,
output voltage falls to zero, ERROR is open circuited and supply current is reduced to 0.5µA
(max).
Reference bypass input. Connecting a 470pF to this input further reduces output noise.
