Low Dropout Voltage (Typically 120mV at 50mA;
380mV at 100mA) for –5.0V Output Part
Tight Output Voltage Tolerance (
±
2%, Max)
Low Supply Current (3.5

A, Typ)
Factory-Programmed Output Voltages of –2.1V to
–6.0V in 100mV Increments
Space-Saving 3-Pin SOT-23A Package
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC59 is a low dropout, negative output voltage
regulator designed specifically for battery-operated sys-
tems. Its full CMOS construction eliminates the wasted
ground current typical of bipolar LDOs. This reduced supply
current significantly extends battery life, particularly when
the TC59 is operated in dropout.
Other TC59 key features include low supply current
(typically 3.0µA) and low dropout operation (typically 120mV
at 50mA). Factory-programmed output voltages of
–2.1V to –6.0V in 100mV steps are available. The TC59 is
packaged in a tiny 3-Pin SOT-23A package.
