General Description
The TC1188 and TC1189 are fixed output, low dropout
linear regulators that operate from a 2.7V to 6.0V input
voltage source. The output is capable of delivering up
to 120 mA while consuming only 50 µA of quiescent
current. The low dropout voltage, 120 mV, make the
TC1188 and TC1189 good choices for battery powered
applications. Integrated over-current and over-temperature protection features provide for a fault tolerant
solution.
The TC1189 includes an output voltage auto discharge
feature. When shutdown, the TC1189 will automatically
discharge the output voltage using an internal N-Channel MOSFET switch.
Fixed output voltage options for the TC1188/TC1189
are: 1.80V, 2.80V, 2.84V and 3.15V. Both the TC1188
and TC1189 are available in SOT23-5 packages.

3.1Detailed Description
The TC1188/TC1189 devices are fixed output, low
dropout linear regulators. Utilizing CMOS construction,
the internal quiescent current consumed by the regulator is minimized when compared to older bipolar low
dropout regulators.
The LDO output voltage is sensed at the non-inverting
pin of the internal error amplifier. The internal voltage
reference is sensed at the inverting pin of the internal
error amplifier. The error amplifier adjusts the gate
source voltage of the internal P-channel pass device
until the divided down output voltage matches the internal reference voltage. When it does, the LDO output
voltage is in regulation.
The SHDN,

current to less than 1 µA maximum. For normal operation, the SHDN
The TC1189 incorporates an internal N-Channel MOSFET, which is used to discharge the output capacitor
when shutdown. The TC1188 does not have the internal N-Channel MOSFET, therefore, when the device is
shutdown, the output voltage will decrease at a rate
which is dependant on the load current.

OUT
FIGURE 3-1:Wake-U p Response Time.
3.3Internal P-Channel Pass
Transistor
The Internal P-Channel MOSFET is operated in the linear region to regulate the LDO output voltage. The
RDSon of the P-Channel MOSFET is approximately
1.1 making the LDO able to regulate with little input
to output voltage differential, "Low Dropout". Another
benefit of using CMOS construction is that the P-Channel MOSFET is a voltage controlled device, so it
doesn't consume a fraction of the bias current required
of bipolar PNP LDOs.
3.2Turn-On Response
The turn-on response is defined as two separate
response categories: Wake-Up Time (t
Time (t

The TC1188/TC1189 have fast wake-up times (10 µsec

The SHDN input is used to turn off the LDO P-Channel
pass MOSFET and internal bias. When shutdown, the
typical quiescent current consumed by the LDO is
0.1 nA. A logic low (< 0.4V) at the SHDN
cause the device to operate in the shutdown mode. A
logic high (> 2.0V) at the SHDN
input will cause the
device to operate in the normal mode.

3.7Operating Region and Power
Dissipation
The internal power dissipation to the LDO is primarily
determined by the input voltage, output voltage and
output current. The following equation is used to
approximate the worst case for power dissipation:
EQUATION
3.5Current Limit
The LDO output current is monitored internal to the
TC1188/TC1189. The internal current sense will limit
the LDO output current to a typical value of 280 mA.
The current limit can range from approximately 50 mA
to 410 mA from device to device. The internal current
limit protects the device from a continuous output short
circuit.
3.6Thermal Overload Protection
Integrated thermal protection circuitry shuts the
TC1188/TC1189 off when the internal die temperature
exceeds approximately 170°C. The regulator output
remains off until the internal die temperature drops to
approximately 150°C.

4.0APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
4.1Input Capacitor
A 1 µF (or larger) capacitor is recommended to bypass
the LDO input and lower input impedance for circuit
stability when operating from batteries or high impedance sources. The input capacitor can be ceramic, tantalum or aluminum electrolytic. For applications that
require low noise and input power supply rejection, low
effective series resistance (ESR) ceramic capacitors
are recommended over higher ESR electrolytic capacitors. Larger value input capacitors can be used to
improve circuit performance.
4.2Output Capacitor
A 1 µF (minimum) capacitor is required from V
ground to ensure circuit stability. The output capacitor
should have an ESR greater than 0.1 ohms and less
than 2 ohm. Tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors are recommended. Since many aluminum electrolytic capacitors freeze at approximately -30°C, solid
tantalums are recommended for applications operating
below 25°C.
