TC1186-3.0VCT713

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Overview

The TC1186-3.0VCT713 is a fixed-output linear low-dropout regulator manufactured by Microchip Technology, providing a regulated 3.0V output with a maximum current capability of 150 mA. It operates within an input voltage range of 2.7 V to 6.5 V and features high accuracy with a typical tolerance of ±0.5%. The device incorporates power-saving shutdown mode reducing supply current to 0.5 µA maximum, alongside integrated overcurrent and overtemperature protection mechanisms.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Feature Summary

• CMOS construction designed for battery-operated systems to minimize ground current and extend battery life
• Integrated ERROR open-drain output flagging out-of-regulation conditions for use as low-battery detector or reset generator
• Power-saving shutdown mode significantly reduces supply current when the SHDN pin is driven low
• Built-in thermal shutdown and current limiting protection circuits ensure operational safety

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Applications

• Battery operated systems
• Portable computers
• Medical instruments
• Cellular/GSM/PHS phones
• Linear post-regulators for SMPS

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CT713 indicates tape and reel packaging in SOT-23 format. Confirm the 'V' designation corresponds to the -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range. Ensure compatibility with standard surface-mount assembly processes for five-lead plastic small outline transistors before finalizing procurement orders.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when a 150 mA output current is required with a fixed 3.0V regulation. It serves as a CMOS upgrade for older bipolar regulators, offering lower ground current. Consider the integrated error flag if system monitoring or reset generation is needed without external logic components.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Part Context

This part belongs to the TC1054/TC1055/TC1186 family of precision LDOs. While the TC1054 provides 50 mA and the TC1055 provides 100 mA, the TC1186 variant specifically supports up to 150 mA. All members share identical pinouts and feature sets, differing primarily in maximum output current capabilities.
