Product details
Overview
MCP1811AT-010/OT from Microchip Technology is an ultra-low quiescent current (250 nA typical) 150 mA low-dropout linear regulator with fixed 1.0 V output, 1.8–5.5 V input range, and output discharge functionality during shutdown - designed for energy harvesting, wearable electronics, and medical hearing aids where multi-year battery life is critical.
For engineers reviewing the MCP1811AT-010/OT datasheet, MCP1811AT-010/OT pinout, MCP1811AT-010/OT application, or MCP1811AT-010/OT equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (SOT-23), confirmed shutdown current (10 nA typical), ceramic capacitor stability (1.0 µF), dropout voltage (400 mV @ 150 mA), and real-world use cases in ultra-low-power sensor nodes and implantable-grade devices.
Technical Context
The MCP1811AT-010/OT implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low IQ operation and fast start-up (400 µs delay from SHDN). Its integrated discharge transistor (100 Ω typical) actively pulls VOUT to GND during shutdown, eliminating residual voltage hold-up in battery-sensitive systems.
It operates across –40°C to +85°C junction temperature, supports stable regulation with only 1.0 µF X7R ceramic output capacitance, and maintains ±25 mV load regulation from 1 mA to 150 mA - making it suitable for dynamically varying loads in sleep-wake cycling applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.0 V ±4% - enables direct powering of 1.0 V logic cores and ultra-low-voltage microcontrollers. |
| Quiescent Current | 250 nA typical - reduces battery drain to <1 µAh/year, extending shelf life in sealed medical devices. |
| Shutdown Current | 10 nA typical - ensures near-zero standby leakage when paired with external wake-up controllers. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA - sufficient for BLE SoCs, optical sensors, and low-power ADCs without thermal derating at ambient. |
| Dropout Voltage | 400 mV @ 150 mA - allows operation down to 1.4 V input, compatible with single-cell Li-SOCl₂ or two-cell alkaline sources. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - accommodates wide battery chemistries including Li-MnO₂, Li-FeS₂, and regulated 3.3 V rails. |
| Output Capacitor | 1.0 µF ceramic (X7R) - minimizes board area and cost while ensuring stability and low noise (<170 µVrms). |
Pinout & Package
Package: 3-Lead SOT-23 (JEDEC MO-178AA), footprint-compatible with SC70 but with higher thermal resistance (θJA = 211.33°C/W on 4-layer FR4).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply connection | Accepts 1.8–5.5 V; requires local 1 µF ceramic bypass; internal overcurrent protection limits fault current to 250 mA. |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable 1.0 V; must be decoupled with ≥1.0 µF X7R ceramic; discharge path active when SHDN = GND. |
| GND | Ground reference | Low-impedance return for regulator core and discharge switch; tie directly to output capacitor ground pad for optimal PSRR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ operation | 250 nA typical enables >10-year battery life in 10 µA average-load IoT endpoints. |
| Active output discharge | 100 Ω discharge transistor eliminates VOUT hold-up, preventing unintended wake-up or data corruption during power cycling. |
| Ceramic capacitor stability | Stable with 1.0 µF X7R - avoids costly tantalum or electrolytic capacitors and reduces EMI susceptibility. |
| Wide input voltage range | 1.8–5.5 V supports direct connection to primary batteries, harvested energy buffers, and legacy 3.3 V/5 V rails. |
| High PSRR at 1 kHz | –50 dB (no CIN) suppresses ripple from noisy switching supplies feeding the LDO input. |

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; 6 V max input; SOT-23-3 package. | Lacks active VOUT discharge - unsuitable where rapid power-down sequencing is required. | Select when discharge is unnecessary and higher input voltage margin (6 V) is needed. |
| TN0120N100B | 1.0 V, 200 nA IQ, 150 mA, no discharge; 5.5 V max input; same SOT-23-3 footprint. | Lower IQ but no discharge path; slightly tighter output tolerance (±2% vs. ±4%). | Prefer for longest possible battery life where discharge is handled externally or not required. |
Compared with MCP1700T-1002E/MB and TN0120N100B, the MCP1811AT-010/OT uniquely combines 10 nA shutdown current, integrated output discharge, and guaranteed 150 mA delivery at 1.0 V - making it the only choice for space-constrained, battery-sealed systems requiring deterministic power-down behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the MCP1811AT-010/OT?
The MCP1811AT-010/OT delivers up to 150 mA continuously under specified thermal conditions (TA ≤ +85°C, θJA = 211.33°C/W on JEDEC 4-layer board). At 150 mA load and 1.8 V input, dropout is 400 mV typical, ensuring regulation remains stable without thermal shutdown.
Does the MCP1811AT-010/OT require an input capacitor?
The MCP1811AT-010/OT does not require an input capacitor for stability, though a 1 µF ceramic capacitor is recommended at VIN to suppress high-frequency noise and improve PSRR. The device is fully stable with only the 1.0 µF output capacitor, reducing BOM count and PCB area.
How does the output discharge function work in the MCP1811AT-010/OT?
When SHDN is pulled low, the MCP1811AT-010/OT activates an internal 100 Ω discharge transistor between VOUT and GND, discharging the output capacitor within microseconds. This prevents residual voltage from powering downstream circuitry or causing latch-up during hot-swap or battery replacement scenarios.
Can the MCP1811AT-010/OT operate with a 1.5 V input supply?
No - the MCP1811AT-010/OT has a minimum input voltage of 1.8 V per datasheet specifications. At 1.0 V output and 400 mV typical dropout, the absolute minimum functional input is 1.4 V, but the device will not enable or regulate below 1.8 V due to internal bandgap and bias circuit requirements.
Is the MCP1811AT-010/OT RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes - the MCP1811AT-010/OT is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per Microchip's standard product definitions (documented in packaging specification 80000597C). It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and is qualified for industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C).
