General Description
The TC1173 is a precision output (typically ±0.5%)
CMOS low dropout regulator. Total supply current is
typically 50µA at full load ( 20 to 60 times lower than in
bipolar regulators).
TC1173 key features include ultra low noise operation
(plus optional Bypass input); very low dropout voltage
(typically 240mV at full load) and i nternal feed-forward
compensation for fast response to step changes in
load. An error output (ERROR
) is asserted when the
TC1173 is out-of-regulation (due to a low input voltage
or excessive output current). ERROR

3.0DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The TC1173 is a fixed output, l ow drop-out regulator.
Unlike bipolar regulators, the TC1173’s supply current
does not increase with load current. In addition, V
remains s table and within regulation over the entire

operating load current range, (an
important consideration in RTC and CMOS RAM
battery back-up applications).
Figure 3-1 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 s upply. While
in shutdown, supply current decreases to 0.05µA
(typical), V
falls to zero and ERROR is disabled.

4.0THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
4.1Thermal S hutdown
Integrated thermal protection circuitry shuts the
regulator off when die temperature exceeds 150°C.
The regulator remains off until the die temperature
drops to approximately 140°C.
4.2Power 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 4-1:
≈ (V
P
D
Where:
P
= Worst case actual power dissipation
D
V
= Maximum voltage on V
IN
MAX

I

MIN

The maximum allowable power dissipation (Equation
4-2) is a function of the maximum ambient temperature
(T
), the maximum allowable die temperature
A
MAX
(T
) and the thermal resistance from junction-to-air
JMAX
(θ
). The 8-Pin SOIC package has a θJAof approxi-

Where all terms ar e previously defined.
Equation 4-1 can b e used in conjunction with Equation
4-2 to ensure regulator thermal operation is within
limits. For example:
In this example, the TC1173 dissipates a maximum of
155mW; below the allowable limit of 350mW. I n a
similar manner, Equation 4-1 and Equation 4-2 can be
used to calculate m aximum current and/or input
voltage limits. For example, the maximum allowable
V
is found by substituting the maximum allowable
IN
power dissipation of 250mW into Equation 4-1, from
which V
INMAX
=4.1V.
4.3Layout Considerations
The primary path of heat conduction out of the package
is via the package leads. Therefore, layouts having a
ground plane, wi de traces at the pads, and wide power
supply bus lines combine to lower θ
increase the maximum allowable power dissipation
limit.
