General Description
The TC1262 is a fixed output, high accuracy (typically
±0.5%) CMOS low dropout regulator. Designed specif-
ically for battery-operated systems, the TC1262’s
CMOS construction eliminates wasted ground current,
significantly extending battery life. Total supply current
is typically 80
A at full load (20 to 60 times lower than
in bipolar regulators).
TC1262 key features include ultra low noise operation,
very low dropout voltage (typically 350mV at full load),
and fast response to step changes in load.
The TC1262 incorporates both over temperature and
over current protection. The TC1262 is stable with an
output capacitor of only 1F and has a maximum
output current of 500mA. It is available in 3-Pin
SOT-223, 3-Pin TO-220 and 3-Pin DDPAK packages.

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
regulation 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

IN
= 6V for T = 10 msec.

thermal resistance from junction-to-air (i.e., T

2.0 PIN DESCRIPTIONS
The descriptions of the pins are listed in Table 2-1.
TABLE 2-1: PIN FUNCTION TABLE
3.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The TC1262 is a precision, fixed output LDO. Unlike
bipolar regulators, the TC1262’s supply current does
not increase with load current. In addition, V
OUT
remains stable and within regulation over the entire
0mA to I
LOADMAX
load current range (an important
consideration in RTC and CMOS RAM battery back-up
applications).
Figure 3-1 shows a typical application circuit.
FIGURE 3-1: TYPICAL APPLICATION
CIRCUIT
3.1 Output Capacitor
A 1F (min) capacitor from V
OUT
to ground is required.
The output capacitor should have an effective series
resistance greater than 0.1 and less than 5, and a
resonant frequency above 1MHz. A 1F capacitor
should be connected from V
IN
to GND if there is more
than 10 inches of wire between the regulator and the
AC filter capacitor, or if a battery is used as the power
source. Aluminum electrolytic or tantalum capacitor
types can be used. (Since many aluminum electrolytic
capacitors freeze at approximately -30°C, solid
tantalums are recommended for applications operating
below -25°C.) When operating from sources other than
batteries, supply-noise rejection and transient
response can be improved by increasing the value of
the input and output capacitors and employing passive
filtering techniques.
