Product details
Overview
MCP1811AT-010/LT from Microchip Technology is a 150 mA ultra-low-quiescent-current LDO linear regulator with fixed 1.0 V output, 250 nA typical operating current, and output discharge functionality (MCP1811A variant). It operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V input and is stable with a 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor. Designed for energy harvesting and long-life battery-powered systems such as hearing aids and smart wearables.
For engineers reviewing the MCP1811AT-010/LT datasheet, MCP1811AT-010/LT pinout, MCP1811AT-010/LT application, or MCP1811AT-010/LT equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package mapping to 4-lead 1×1 mm UDFN, functional role in ultra-low-power supply rails, and validated alternative options for design flexibility.
Technical Context
The MCP1811AT-010/LT implements a low-dropout architecture with internal PMOS pass transistor and error amplifier, enabling regulation down to 400 mV dropout at 150 mA load. Its shutdown logic accepts TTL-compatible control (VSHDN-HIGH ≥ 70% VIN) and activates an integrated discharge transistor (RDCH = 100 Ω) to rapidly deplete VOUT when SHDN = GND.
It features overcurrent protection with foldback limiting (50 mA at RLOAD = 1 Ω), ±25 mV load regulation across 1–150 mA, and -50 dB PSRR at 1 kHz with no input capacitor - optimized for noise-sensitive microcontroller and sensor supply domains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.0 V ±4% - ensures precise biasing for 1.0 V core logic and low-voltage RF ICs. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA continuous - supports moderate-current peripherals (e.g., BLE SoCs, ADCs) without thermal derating on standard PCBs. |
| Quiescent Current | 250 nA typical - enables multi-year operation on coin cells (e.g., CR2032) in sleep-dominated duty cycles. |
| Shutdown Current | 10 nA typical - reduces system standby leakage to sub-nA levels when paired with external wake-up controllers. |
| Dropout Voltage | 400 mV max at 150 mA - allows operation from partially discharged batteries (e.g., 1.4 V Li-SOCl₂) while maintaining regulation. |
| Stability Capacitor | 1.0 µF ceramic (X7R) - eliminates need for bulky tantalum or electrolytic capacitors, reducing BOM cost and board area. |
| PSRR @ 1 kHz | -50 dB (no CIN) - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters without requiring input filtering. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 4-Lead 1 × 1 mm UDFN with exposed thermal pad (EP) - optimized for space-constrained wearable and medical PCBs; thermal resistance θJA = 91.05°C/W on JEDEC 4-layer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 1.8–5.5 V; must be decoupled locally with ≥1 µF ceramic to ensure stability and transient response. |
| SHDN | Active-low enable/discharge control | Pull high (>1.4 V) to enable; tie to GND to disable and activate output discharge path (DT). |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 1.0 V; requires ≥1.0 µF X7R ceramic capacitor placed <1 mm from pin for loop stability. |
| GND | Ground reference | Low-impedance return for error amp and pass device; connect directly to quiet ground plane near output cap. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ (250 nA) | Extends battery life in intermittent-sensing applications (e.g., environmental monitors logging every 10 min). |
| Integrated output discharge | Drains VOUT within microseconds after shutdown - prevents back-powering of downstream circuitry and enables clean power sequencing. |
| Ceramic-capacitor stability | Eliminates ESR requirements and simplifies layout; compatible with 0402/0603 MLCCs for miniaturized designs. |
| Overcurrent foldback | Limits fault current to 50 mA during short-circuit - protects both regulator and battery under sustained overload. |
| Wide input range (1.8–5.5 V) | Supports single-cell Li-ion, Li-SOCl₂, alkaline, and NiMH sources without intermediate buck conversion. |
Applications
| Energy Harvesting Node | Medical Hearing Aid |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1002E/MB | Same 1.0 V output, 250 nA IQ, but no output discharge; SOT-23-3 package (no SHDN pin). | Suitable where shutdown control is handled externally or not required; lacks fast VOUT discharge capability. | Select when board space is constrained and discharge is unnecessary - saves one PCB trace and routing layer. |
| TPL7407LPGEDR | 150 mA, 1.0 V, 350 nA IQ, no discharge; 6-pin WSON with integrated 7-channel high-side driver (non-LDO function). | Not a direct LDO replacement - includes driver functionality; higher IQ and different pinout/functionality. | Consider only if system requires integrated drivers alongside regulation; otherwise, IQ and feature mismatch reduce suitability. |
Compared with MCP1700T-1002E/MB, the MCP1811AT-010/LT adds critical output discharge for clean power sequencing, while TPL7407LPGEDR introduces unrelated driver functions that complicate substitution without redesign.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MCP1811AT-010/LT?
The MCP1811AT-010/LT provides a fixed 1.0 V output with ±4% tolerance across temperature (-40°C to +85°C) and load (0–150 mA). This specification ensures reliable operation of 1.0 V core logic in microcontrollers and sensors without requiring external feedback trimming.
Does the MCP1811AT-010/LT require an input capacitor?
No, the MCP1811AT-010/LT is specified to operate stably without an input capacitor - PSRR testing confirms -50 dB rejection at 1 kHz even with CIN = 0 µF. However, a local 1 µF ceramic capacitor on VIN is recommended to suppress high-frequency noise from upstream sources.
How does the output discharge function work in the MCP1811AT-010/LT?
When SHDN is pulled low, the MCP1811AT-010/LT activates an internal discharge transistor (RDCH = 100 Ω) between VOUT and GND. This discharges the output capacitor rapidly - typically within tens of microseconds - preventing back-powering of downstream circuitry and enabling deterministic power-down sequencing.
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at full load?
At 150 mA output, the MCP1811AT-010/LT requires VIN ≥ 1.4 V to maintain regulation (1.0 V + 400 mV dropout). The datasheet specifies a minimum operating VIN of 1.8 V across all loads, ensuring margin for line and load transients while guaranteeing performance over temperature.
Which package variant does MCP1811AT-010/LT use, and what are its thermal characteristics?
The MCP1811AT-010/LT uses the 4-lead 1 × 1 mm UDFN package with exposed thermal pad. On a JEDEC-standard 4-layer FR4 board, it achieves θJA = 91.05°C/W and θJC(Top) = 285.89°C/W - enabling 150 mA operation without heatsinking in ambient temperatures up to +85°C.
