Product details
Overview
MCP1811AT-020/OT from Microchip Technology is an ultra-low quiescent current (250 nA typical) 150 mA low-dropout linear regulator with fixed 2.0 V output, designed for energy harvesting and long-life battery-powered systems. It operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V input, features output discharge during shutdown, and stabilizes with only 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitance - enabling compact, low-noise power delivery in wearable medical devices and smart cards.
For engineers reviewing the MCP1811AT-020/OT datasheet, MCP1811AT-020/OT pinout, MCP1811AT-020/OT application, or MCP1811AT-020/OT equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package mapping to SOT-23-3, functional role in ultra-low-power sleep-mode regulation, and validated alternative options for design continuity.
Technical Context
The MCP1811AT-020/OT implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout voltage (400 mV typical at 150 mA) and minimal ground current (90–110 µA across load). Its integrated output discharge switch (RDCH = 100 Ω typical) actively pulls VOUT to GND when SHDN = GND, eliminating residual voltage hold-up in battery-sensitive systems.
It supports stable operation over –40°C to +85°C junction temperature with ±25 mV load regulation (1 mA to 150 mA) and ±20 mV line regulation (1.8 V < VIN < 5.5 V), meeting stringent requirements for eXtreme Low-Power (XLP) microcontroller supply rails in intermittent-duty applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.0 V ±4% - ensures precise biasing for 2.0 V logic or analog circuitry without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA - sufficient to power ultra-low-power MCUs, sensors, and RF transceivers in duty-cycled systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 250 nA typical - enables multi-year battery life in coin-cell–powered devices operating >99% in sleep mode. |
| Dropout Voltage | 400 mV typical at 150 mA - allows operation down to VIN = 2.4 V while maintaining regulated 2.0 V output. |
| Shutdown Current | 10 nA typical - reduces system standby leakage to negligible levels during deep-sleep states. |
| Stability Capacitor | 1.0 µF ceramic (X7R) - enables small-footprint, low-ESR, low-noise filtering without tantalum or electrolytic components. |
| PSRR | –50 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses ripple from noisy switching supplies or shared battery rails. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 3-Lead SOT-23 (JEDEC MO-178AA), 2.92 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body, surface-mount, lead-free, RoHS compliant.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 1.8 V–5.5 V unregulated input; requires local 1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Low-impedance return path for regulator ground current; must connect directly to quiet ground plane near output capacitor. |
| 3 (VOUT) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 2.0 V ±4%; connects to load and 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor (X7R). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ (250 nA) | Enables >10-year battery life in 10 µA average-current applications using CR2032 cells. |
| Output discharge (100 Ω) | Prevents back-powering of upstream circuits and eliminates VOUT float during shutdown - critical for ISO/IEC 14443 smart card compliance. |
| Ceramic-capacitor stability | Eliminates need for high-ESR capacitors, reducing BOM cost and PCB area by >50% vs. legacy LDOs requiring 10 µF tantalum. |
| Wide input range (1.8–5.5 V) | Supports direct connection to single Li-ion, two alkaline, or energy-harvesting sources without pre-regulation. |
| –40°C to +85°C operation | Validated performance across industrial and medical ambient conditions without derating. |
Applications
| Energy Harvesting Systems | Wearable Medical Devices |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-2002E/TT | Same 2.0 V output, 250 nA IQ, but no output discharge; SOT-23-3 package. | Lacks active VOUT discharge - unsuitable where residual voltage violates safety or interoperability standards. | Select when output discharge is unnecessary and lowest possible BOM cost is prioritized. |
| TN0702-2.0TR | 2.0 V, 300 nA IQ, 150 mA, no discharge; 3-lead SOT-23, higher dropout (500 mV typ at 150 mA). | Higher dropout and no discharge limit use in low-VIN or fast-shutdown scenarios. | Consider only if Microchip supply chain constraints require second-source qualification. |
Compared with MCP1700T-2002E/TT and TN0702-2.0TR, the MCP1811AT-020/OT uniquely combines 2.0 V regulation, 250 nA IQ, and integrated output discharge in SOT-23-3 - making it the only option for applications requiring both ultra-low leakage and controlled VOUT decay.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MCP1811AT-020/OT?
The MCP1811AT-020/OT has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +6.0 V. Operation above 5.5 V is not recommended, as the device is specified for reliable performance only within the 1.8 V to 5.5 V input range. Exceeding 6.0 V risks permanent damage to the internal PMOS pass element and bandgap reference circuitry.
Does the MCP1811AT-020/OT require an external shutdown control signal?
No - the MCP1811AT-020/OT does not include a dedicated SHDN pin. It is the A-version variant with integrated output discharge functionality, but lacks enable/disable control. The MCP1811AT-020/OT operates continuously when VIN is applied; shutdown is achieved only by removing input voltage. For active control, consider the 5-lead variants like MCP1811A-2002E/MB.
Can the MCP1811AT-020/OT be used with a 0.47 µF output capacitor?
No. The MCP1811AT-020/OT requires a minimum of 1.0 µF X7R ceramic output capacitor for guaranteed stability across all operating conditions. Using 0.47 µF may cause oscillation or poor transient response, especially under load steps up to 150 mA. Microchip's datasheet explicitly specifies 1.0 µF as the minimum stable value for MCP1811X devices.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the MCP1811AT-020/OT in its SOT-23-3 package?
The MCP1811AT-020/OT in the 3-lead SOT-23 package has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 211.33°C/W when mounted on a JEDEC-standard 4-layer FR4 board with 1 oz. copper. This value assumes no thermal vias or copper pour - adding a 10 mm² thermal pad connected via ≥4 vias can reduce θJA by ~30%.
Is the output voltage accuracy of the MCP1811AT-020/OT affected by load current?
Yes - the MCP1811AT-020/OT exhibits ±25 mV load regulation from 1 mA to 150 mA output current, meaning output voltage may shift up to ±25 mV across that range. At 2.0 V nominal output, this corresponds to ±1.25% deviation. This is fully characterized and included in the ±4% total output tolerance specification over temperature and line variations.
