Typical Application
General Description:
The TC1070, TC1071 and TC1187 are adjustable
LDOs designed to supersede a variety of older (bipolar)
voltage regulators. Total supply current is typically
50 μA at full load (20 to 60 times lower than in bipolar
regulators).
The devices’ key features include ultra low-noise
operation, very low dropout voltage – typically 85 mV
(TC1070); 180 mV (TC1071); and 270 mV (TC1187) at
full load, and fast response to step changes in load.
Supply current is reduced to 0.5 μA (maximum) when
the shutdown input is low. The devices incorporate both
over-temperature and over-current protection. Output
voltage is programmed with a simple resistor divider
from V
to ADJ to GND.
OUT
The TC1070, TC1071 and TC1187 are stable with an
output capacitor of only 1 μF and have a maximum
output current of 50 mA, 100 mA and 150 mA,
respectively. For higher output versions, please see the

2: Regulation is measured at a constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Load regulation is tested over a load range
from 0.1 mA to the maximum specified output current. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered by the thermal
regulation specification.
3: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal value.
4: 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
5: 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
