General Description
The TC1173 is a precision output (typically ±0.5%)
CMOS low dropout regulator. Total supply current is
typically 50A at full load (20 to 60 times lower than in
bipolar regulators).
TC1173 key features include ultra low noise operation
(plus optional Bypass input); very low dropout voltage
(typically 240mV at full load) and internal feed-forward
compensation for fast response to step changes in
load. An error output (ERROR
) is asserted when the
TC1173 is out-of-regulation (due to a low input voltage
or excessive output current). ERROR can be set as a
low battery warning or as a processor RESET
signal
(with the addition of an external RC network). Supply
current is reduced to 0.05A (typical) and V
OUT
and
ERROR
fall to zero when the shutdown input is low.
The TC1173 incorporates both over temperature and
over current protection. The TC1173 is stable with an
output capacitor of only 1F and has a maximum
output current of 300mA.

3: 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 regula-
tion specification.
4: 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.
5: 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
LMAX
at V
IN
= 6V for T = 10 msec.
6: 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
,
JA
). Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation causes the device to initiate
thermal shutdown. Please see Section 4.0 Thermal Considerations for more details.
