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

The regulator is fully enabled when a logic high is
applied to this input. The regulator enters shutdown
when a logic low is applied to this input. During
shutdown, output voltage falls to zero and supply current is reduced to 0.5 μA (maximum).
The TC1070, TC1071 and TC1187 are adjustable
output voltage regulators. (If a fixed version is desired,
please see the TC1014/TC1015/TC1185 data sheet.)

regulator and the AC filter capacitor, or if a battery is

aluminum electrolytic capacitors freeze at

When operating from sources other than batteries,
supply-noise rejection and transient response can be
improved by increasing the value of the input and

techniques.

5.0THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
5.1Thermal 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.
5.2Power Dissipation
The amount of power the regulator dissipates is
primarily a function of input and output voltage, and
output current. The following equation is used to
calculate worst-case actual power dissipation:
EQUATION 5-1:
The maximum allowable power dissipation
(Equation 4-2) is a function of the maximum ambient
temperature (T

Equation 5-1 can be used in conjunction with
Equation 4-2 to ensure regulator thermal operation is

Maximum allowable power dissipation:
In this example, the TC1070 dissipates a maximum of
26.2 mW which is below the allowable limit of 318 mW.
In a similar manner, Equation 5-1 and Equation 5-2 can
be used to calculate maximum current and/or input
voltage limits.
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 θ
increase the maximum allowable power dissipation
limit.
