General Description
The TC59 is a low dropout, negative output voltage
regulator designed specifically for battery-operated
systems. 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 3.0A) and low dropout operation (typically
120mV at 50mA). The TC59 is packaged in a small
3-Pin SOT-23A package.

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 TC59 is a low quiescent current, precision fixed
negative output voltage LDO. Unlike bipolar linear
regulators, the TC59 supply current does not increase
proportionally with load current.
3.1 Output Capacitor
A minimum of 1F tantalum output capacitor is
required. The requirements for the output capacitor are
an equivalent series resistance (esr) greater than 0.1
and less than 5, with a self-resonant frequency
greater than 1MHz. To improve supply noise rejection
and transient response, larger output capacitors can be
used. Care should be taken when increasing C
OUT
, that
the input impedance is not high enough to cause high
input impedance oscillation.
3.2 Input Capacitor
A 1F input capacitor is recommended for most
applications when the input impedance is on the order
of 10. When operating off of a battery input, or there
is a large distance from the input source to the LDO,
larger input capacitance may be required for stability.
When large values of output capacitance are used, the
input capacitance should be increased to prevent high
source impedance oscillations.
