Product details
Overview
MCP1811AT-028/LT from Microchip Technology is an ultra-low quiescent current (250 nA typical) 150 mA low-dropout linear regulator with fixed 2.8 V output, shutdown capability (10 nA typical), and stable operation with 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor. It operates across 1.8V–5.5V input and delivers precision regulation for battery-powered wearable electronics and energy-harvesting nodes.
For engineers reviewing the MCP1811AT-028/LT datasheet, MCP1811AT-028/LT pinout, MCP1811AT-028/LT application, or MCP1811AT-028/LT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.8 V fixed output, 400 mV dropout at 150 mA, output discharge function, thermal performance in UDFN package, and compatibility with micro-power MCU sleep modes.
Technical Context
The MCP1811AT-028/LT implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low IQ and fast start-up (400 µs delay from SHDN). Its internal error amplifier and reference maintain ±4% output accuracy over -40°C to +85°C junction temperature and load currents up to 150 mA.
It integrates a dedicated discharge transistor (RDCH = 100 Ω typical) activated during shutdown (SHDN = GND), ensuring rapid VOUT collapse to prevent back-powering of downstream circuitry - a critical feature for systems requiring strict power sequencing and zero-leakage sleep states.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8 V ±4% - ensures stable supply for 2.8 V logic rails without external feedback components. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA - sufficient to power ultra-low-power MCUs, sensors, and BLE radios in intermittent active mode. |
| Quiescent Current | 250 nA typical - enables multi-year battery life in devices drawing µA-average current. |
| Shutdown Current | 10 nA typical - minimizes standby drain in always-on monitoring applications. |
| Dropout Voltage | 400 mV at 150 mA - allows operation down to VIN = 3.2 V while maintaining regulation, extending usable battery range. |
| Stability | With 1.0 µF ceramic COUT - reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. electrolytic/tantalum alternatives. |
| PSRR | -50 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses ripple from noisy switching supplies or shared battery rails. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 4-Lead 1 × 1 mm UDFN with exposed thermal pad (EP) - optimized for high thermal efficiency (θJA = 91.05°C/W) in space-constrained wearables and medical patches.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 1.8V–5.5V; must be decoupled with ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor near pin for stability and PSRR. |
| SHDN | Active-low enable/disable control | Pulled high internally; driven low to enter 10 nA shutdown with output discharge enabled. |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers 2.8 V ±4%; requires 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor to ground for loop stability and low noise. |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for load and quiescent current; tie directly to quiet ground plane or output capacitor cathode. |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Internally connected to GND; must be soldered to PCB thermal pad for optimal θJA and reliability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Output discharge on shutdown | Active discharge via integrated 100 Ω transistor ensures VOUT collapses rapidly (<1 ms), preventing back-powering of sensitive peripherals. |
| Ultra-low IQ operation | 250 nA typical IQ enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell-powered devices operating at 1% duty cycle. |
| Ceramic capacitor stability | Stable with only 1.0 µF X7R ceramic output cap - eliminates ESR requirements and improves reliability over tantalum. |
| Wide input voltage range | 1.8V–5.5V operation supports single-cell Li-ion, LiFePO₄, alkaline, and energy-harvesting sources without pre-regulation. |
| Overcurrent protection | Foldback current limit (50 mA at RLOAD = 1 Ω) prevents thermal runaway during short-circuit events. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1811AT-2802E/MB | Same 2.8 V output, same 150 mA rating, but in 3-lead SOT-23 package (no SHDN pin, no output discharge) | Lacks shutdown control and discharge - suitable only for always-on, non-sequenced power domains | Select when board space permits larger SOT-23 and system-level power gating is handled externally. |
| Torex XC6210B282MR-G | 2.8 V, 150 mA, 250 nA IQ, but no integrated output discharge; requires external MOSFET for discharge if needed | Higher dropout (500 mV typ. @ 150 mA); no guaranteed discharge path - adds complexity for zero-VOUT sleep | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs need for integrated discharge and thermal performance is secondary. |
Compared with MCP1811AT-2802E/MB and XC6210B282MR-G, the MCP1811AT-028/LT uniquely combines 2.8 V regulation, 150 mA delivery, 250 nA IQ, and integrated output discharge in a thermally efficient 1×1 mm UDFN - making it the only option that satisfies all four requirements in a single, footprint-optimized device for next-gen ultra-low-power wearables.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MCP1811AT-028/LT?
The MCP1811AT-028/LT has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +6.0 V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. For reliable continuous operation, the recommended input voltage range is 1.8 V to 5.5 V, with minimum VIN dependent on load current and dropout - e.g., ≥3.2 V required to sustain 150 mA at 2.8 V output.
Does the MCP1811AT-028/LT require an external pull-up resistor on the SHDN pin?
No, the MCP1811AT-028/LT includes an internal pull-up resistor on the SHDN pin. The pin is asserted high by default, enabling regulation. To enter shutdown mode, drive SHDN to GND (logic low); no external pull-up is needed unless specific timing or noise immunity requirements dictate stronger drive strength.
Can the MCP1811AT-028/LT be used with a 0.47 µF output capacitor?
No - the MCP1811AT-028/LT requires a minimum of 1.0 µF ceramic (X7R) output capacitance for guaranteed stability across temperature and load conditions. Using 0.47 µF may cause oscillation or poor transient response, especially under dynamic loads. Always use ≥1.0 µF as specified in DS20006088C, Section 4.2.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the MCP1811AT-028/LT in its UDFN package?
The MCP1811AT-028/LT in the 4-lead 1×1 mm UDFN package has a JEDEC-standard θJA of 91.05°C/W when mounted on a 4-layer FR4 board with 1 oz. copper and thermal vias. This value assumes proper soldering of the exposed thermal pad (EP) to a dedicated PCB thermal plane - omitting EP connection degrades thermal performance significantly.
Is the output voltage of the MCP1811AT-028/LT adjustable via external resistors?
No - the MCP1811AT-028/LT is a fixed-output device with factory-trimmed 2.8 V regulation. It does not support external feedback adjustment. For adjustable output, consider Microchip's MCP1826 or other members of the MCP18xx family with VADJ variants, but note those do not offer equivalent ultra-low IQ or output discharge.
