GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC1072 is a high accuracy (typically ±0.5%) CMOS
upgrade for older (bipolar) low dropout regulators. Designed
specifically for battery-operated systems, the TC1072’s
50mA CMOS LDO WITH SHUTDOWN, ERROR OUTPUT AND V
REF
BYPASS
TYPICAL APPLICATION
TelCom Semiconductor reserves the right to make changes in the circuitry and specifications ot its devices.
CMOS construction eliminates wasted ground current, significantly extending battery life. Total supply current is
typically 50µA at full load (
20 to 60 times lower than in bipolar
regulators
!).
TC1072 key features include ultra low noise operation
(plus optional Bypass input); very low dropout voltage (typically 100mV at full load) and internal feed-forward compensation for fast response to step changes in load. An error
output (ERROR) is asserted when the TC1072 is out-ofregulation (due to a low input voltage or excessive output
current). ERROR can be used as a low battery warning or as
a processor RESET signal (with the addition of an external
RC network). Supply current is reduced to less than 1µA,
and both V
OUT
and ERROR are disabled when the shutdown
input is low. The TC1072 incorporates both over-temperature and over-current protection.
The TC1072 is stable with an output capacitor of only
1µF and has a maximum output current of 50mA. For higher
output current versions, please see the TC1107, TC1108
and TC1073 (I

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.
5. Ground pin current is the regulator pass transistor gate current. The total current drawn from the input supply is the sum of the load
current, ground current and supply current (i.e. IIN = I
SUPPLY
+ I
GND
+ I
LOAD
).
6. 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 VIN = 6V for T = 10msec.
7. 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. TA, TJ, qJA). Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation causes the device to
initiate thermal shutdown. Please see
Thermal Considerations
section of this data sheet for more details.
8. Hysteresis voltage is referenced by VR.

TC1072-01 6/16/97
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The TC1072 is a precision fixed output voltage regulator. (If an adjustable version is desired, please see the
TC1070 or TC1071 data sheets.) Unlike the bipolar regulators, the TC1072 supply current does not increase with load
current. In addition, V
OUT
remains stable and within regulation at very low load currents (an important consideration in
RTC and CMOS RAM battery back-up applications).
Figure 1 shows a typical application circuit. The regulator is enabled any time the shutdown input (SHDN) is at or
above VIH, and shutdown (disabled) when SHDN is at or
below VIL. SHDN may be controlled by a CMOS logic gate,
or I/O port of a microcontroller. If the SHDN input is not
required, it should be connected directly to the input supply.
While in shutdown, supply current decreases to 0.05µA
(typical) and V
OUT
falls to zero volts and ERROR is open-
circuited.
ERROR Open Drain Output
ERROR is driven low whenenver V
OUT
falls out of
regulation by more than – 5% (typical). The condition my be
caused by low input voltage, output current limiting, or
thermal limiting. The ERROR output voltage value (e.g.
ERROR = VOL at 4.75 (typ) for a 5.0V regulator and 2.85 (typ)
for a 3.0V regulator). ERROR ouput operation is shown in
Figure 2.
Note that ERROR is active when V
OUT
falls to VTH, and
inactive when V
OUT
rises above VTH = V
HYS.
As shown in Figure 1, ERROR can be used as a battery
low flag, or as a processor RESET signal (with the addition
of timing capacitor C2). R1 x C2 should be chosen to
maintain ERROR below VIH of the processor RESET input
for at least 200msec to allow time for the system to stabilize.
Pull-up resistor R1 can be tied to V
OUT
, VIN or any other
voltage less than (V
IN
+0.3V).
Output Capacitor
A 1µF (min) capacitor from V
OUT
to ground is recommended. The output capacitor should have an effective
series resistance of 5Ω or less, and a resonant frequency
above 1MHz. A 1µF 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, supplynoise rejection and transient response can be improved by
increasing the value of the input and output capacitors and
employing passive filtering techniques.
Bypass Input
A 470pF capacitor connected from the Bypass input to
ground reduces noise present on the internal reference,
which in turn significantly reduces output noise. If output
noise is not a concern, this input may be left unconnected.
Larger capacitor values may be used, but results in a longer
time period to rated output voltage when power is initially
applied.
Thermal Considerations
Thermal Shutdown
Integrated thermal protection circuitry shuts the regulator off when die temperature exceeds 160°C. The regulator
remains off until the die temperature drops to approximately
150°C.
Power Dissipation
The amount of power the regulator dissipates is primarily a function of input and output voltage, and output current.

the maximum allowable die temperature (125°C) and the

In this example, the TC1072 dissipates a maximum of
only 60mW; far below the allowable limit of 318mW. In a
similar manner, Equation 1 and Equation 2 can be used to
calculate maximum current and/or input voltage limits.
Layout Considerations
The primary path of heat conduction out of the package
is via the package leads. Therefore, layouts having a
ground plane, wide traces at the pads, and wide power
supply bus lines combine to lower θJA and therefore increase the maximum allowable power dissipation limit.

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.
5. Ground pin current is the regulator pass transistor gate current. The total current drawn from the input supply is the sum of the load
current, ground current and supply current (i.e. IIN = I
SUPPLY
+ I
GND
+ I
LOAD
).
6. 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 VIN = 6V for T = 10msec.
7. 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. TA, TJ, qJA). Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation causes the device to
initiate thermal shutdown. Please see
Thermal Considerations
section of this data sheet for more details.
8. Hysteresis voltage is referenced by VR.
9. Boldface type specifications apply for junction temperatures of – 40°C to +125°C.

PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
TC1073-01 6/5/97
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The TC1073 is a precision fixed output voltage regulator. (If an adjustable version is desired, please see the
TC1070 or TC1071 data sheets.) Unlike the bipolar regulators, the TC1073 supply current does not increase with load
current. In addition, V
OUT
remains stable and within regulation at very low load currents (an important consideration in
RTC and CMOS RAM battery back-up applications).
Figure 1 shows a typical application circuit. The regulator is enabled any time the shutdown input (SHDN) is at or
above VIH, and shutdown (disabled) when SHDN is at or
below VIL. SHDN may be controlled by a CMOS logic gate,
or I/O port of a microcontroller. If the SHDN input is not
required, it should be connected directly to the input supply.
While in shutdown, supply current decreases to 0.05µA
(typical) and V
OUT
falls to zero volts and ERROR is open-
circuited.
ERROR Open Drain Output
ERROR is driven low whenenver V
OUT
falls out of
regulation by more than – 5% (typical). The condition my be
caused by low input voltage, output current limiting, or
thermal limiting. The ERROR output voltage value (e.g.
ERROR = VOL at 4.75 (typ) for a 5.0V regulator and 2.85 (typ)
for a 3.0V regulator). ERROR ouput operation is shown in
Figure 2.
Note that ERROR is active when V
OUT
falls to VTH, and
inactive when V
OUT
rises above VTH = V
HYS.
As shown in Figure 1, ERROR can be used as a battery
low flag, or as a processor RESET signal (with the addition
of timing capacitor C2). R1 x C2 should be chosen to
maintain ERROR below VIH of the processor RESET input
for at least 200msec to allow time for the system to stabilize.
Pull-up resistor R1 can be tied to V
OUT
, VIN or any other
voltage less than (V
IN
+0.3V).
Output Capacitor
A 1µF (min) capacitor from V
OUT
to ground is recommended. The output capacitor should have an effective
series resistance of 5Ω or less, and a resonant frequency
above 1MHz. A 1µF 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, supplynoise rejection and transient response can be improved by
increasing the value of the input and output capacitors and
employing passive filtering techniques.
Bypass Input
A 470pF capacitor connected from the Bypass input to
ground reduces noise present on the internal reference,
which in turn significantly reduces output noise. If output
noise is not a concern, this input may be left unconnected.
Larger capacitor values may be used, but results in a longer
time period to rated output voltage when power is initially
applied.
Thermal Considerations
Thermal Shutdown
Integrated thermal protection circuitry shuts the regulator off when die temperature exceeds 160°C. The regulator
remains off until the die temperature drops to approximately
150°C.
Power Dissipation
The amount of power the regulator dissipates is primarily a function of input and output voltage, and output current.

Equation 1.
The maximum

power dissipation (Equation 2)
is a function of the maximum ambient temperature (T
A
MAX
),
the maximum allowable die temperature (125°C) and the
thermal resistance from junction-to-air (θJA). SOT-23A-6
packag has a θJA of approximately

Equation 2.
Equation 1 can be used in conjunction with Equation 2
to ensure regulator thermal operation is within limits. For

= 318mW
In this example, the TC1073 dissipates a maximum of
only 60mW; far below the allowable limit of 318mW. In a
similar manner, Equation 1 and Equation 2 can be used to
calculate maximum current and/or input voltage limits. For
example, the maximum allowable VIN is found by sustituting
the maximum allowable power dissipation of 318mW into
Equation 1, from which V
IN
MAX
= 5.9V.
Layout Considerations
The primary path of heat conduction out of the package
is via the package leads. Therefore, layouts having a
ground plane, wide traces at the pads, and wide power
supply bus lines combine to lower θJA and therefore increase the maximum allowable power dissipation limit.
