Product details
Overview
MCP1711T-50I/5X from Microchip Technology is a 5.0V fixed-output, ultra-low-quiescent-current (600 nA typical) CMOS LDO voltage regulator in a 5-lead SOT-23 package, delivering up to 150 mA output current with dropout as low as 320 mV at 5.0V output and operating across 1.4V–6.0V input range. It targets energy-constrained systems such as wireless sensor nodes and battery-powered IoT modules where standby power and capacitorless stability are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MCP1711T-50I/5X datasheet, MCP1711T-50I/5X pinout, MCP1711T-50I/5X application, or MCP1711T-50I/5X equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±1% output accuracy at +25°C, true current foldback protection, integrated COUT discharge circuit during shutdown, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors - all validated for industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The MCP1711T-50I/5X employs a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low quiescent current and near-zero dropout sensitivity to load transients. Its internal error amplifier and precision voltage reference deliver stable regulation even without an output capacitor, while the dedicated SHDN-controlled discharge transistor actively pulls VOUT to ground during shutdown.
It integrates overcurrent limiting, short-circuit foldback (80 mA typical trip), and thermal protection. Line regulation is ±0.01%/V typical, and temperature stability is ±50 ppm/°C - enabling reliable operation in thermally variable embedded environments without external compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±1% at +25°C; ensures compatibility with 5V logic and analog subsystems without trimming. |
| Quiescent Current | 600 nA typical; enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA; sufficient to power microcontrollers, RF transceivers, and sensors in compact edge devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 320 mV typical at 150 mA (VIN = 5.32V); supports operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) with headroom margin. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C industrial grade; qualified for deployment in uncontrolled ambient environments. |
| Shutdown Current | 10 nA typical; reduces system standby power to negligible levels during deep sleep modes. |
| Output Capacitor | Capacitorless stable; eliminates BOM cost and board space for bulk output capacitance in space-constrained designs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-Lead SOT-23 (JEDEC MO-178AA), 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.1 mm body, with exposed pad for thermal enhancement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Unregulated Input Supply | Accepts 1.4V–6.0V; requires ≥0.1 µF ceramic input capacitor for transient stability. |
| VOUT | Regulated Output | Delivers stable 5.0V; internally compensated for capacitorless operation but benefits from low-ESR ceramic COUT for improved PSRR. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return for input/output capacitors and load; referenced by internal error amplifier and voltage divider. |
| SHDN | Active-High Enable Control | Logic high (>0.91V) enables regulation; logic low (<0.38V) disables output and activates internal discharge path. |
| NC | No Connect | Not internally bonded; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practices. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ | 600 nA quiescent current enables >10-year battery life in 10 µA average-load applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6219B502MR-G | 500 nA IQ, 150 mA, SOT-23-5, ±2% accuracy, no COUT discharge | Lacks active output discharge; requires external pull-down for strict sequencing | Preferred where lowest possible IQ is critical and discharge is managed externally |
| ROHM BD70522GUL | 180 nA IQ, 200 mA, DFN1212-4, ±1.5% accuracy, 1.7–5.5V input | Lower IQ but narrower input range; 4-pin package lacks dedicated SHDN pin | Selected for sub-200 nA standby systems where SHDN control is implemented digitally |
Compared with the MCP1711T-50I/5X, the XC6219B502MR-G offers marginally lower quiescent current but omits the integrated discharge function required for precise power sequencing, while the BD70522GUL achieves significantly lower IQ yet sacrifices both SHDN pin control and input voltage flexibility - making the MCP1711T-50I/5X optimal for designs needing balanced ultra-low power, robust protection, and deterministic shutdown behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MCP1711T-50I/5X?
The MCP1711T-50I/5X has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +6.5V. Continuous operation is specified from 1.4V to 6.0V. Exceeding 6.5V may cause permanent damage. For reliable long-term use, keep VIN ≤ 6.0V under all operating conditions, including transient spikes.
Does the MCP1711T-50I/5X require an output capacitor to remain stable?
No - the MCP1711T-50I/5X is internally compensated for capacitorless operation and remains stable with COUT = 0 µF. However, adding a low-ESR ceramic capacitor (e.g., 1 µF) improves transient response and PSRR performance, especially above 10 kHz.
How does the SHDN pin function on the MCP1711T-50I/5X?
The SHDN pin is an active-high enable input. When pulled to ≥0.91V (relative to GND), the MCP1711T-50I/5X regulates normally. When pulled to ≤0.38V, it enters shutdown mode, reducing supply current to 10 nA typical and activating an internal discharge switch to rapidly pull VOUT to GND.
What is the dropout voltage of the MCP1711T-50I/5X at full load?
At 150 mA output current and +25°C, the typical dropout voltage of the MCP1711T-50I/5X is 320 mV. This means it maintains regulation as long as VIN ≥ 5.32V. The maximum dropout is 430 mV across temperature and process variation.
Is the MCP1711T-50I/5X compatible with ceramic input capacitors?
Yes - the MCP1711T-50I/5X is fully compatible with ceramic input capacitors. A minimum 0.1 µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor placed close to the VIN and GND pins ensures stable operation under load transients and suppresses high-frequency noise from the source.
