Product details
Overview
MCP1811BT-028/OT from Microchip Technology is an ultra-low quiescent current (250 nA typical) 150 mA low-dropout linear regulator with fixed 2.8 V output, designed for energy-constrained battery-powered systems. It operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V input, supports ceramic output capacitors as small as 1.0 µF, and features overcurrent protection and shutdown mode with 5 nA typical supply current - ideal for wearable electronics and medical hearing aids.
For engineers reviewing the MCP1811BT-028/OT datasheet, MCP1811BT-028/OT pinout, MCP1811BT-028/OT application, or MCP1811BT-028/OT equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low IQ performance, 2.8 V fixed output stability under light-to-moderate load (≤150 mA), SOT-23-3 package compatibility, and shutdown discharge capability specific to the "A" variant - though this part is the "B" variant without discharge.
Technical Context
The MCP1811BT-028/OT belongs to the MCP1811B subfamily: a 150 mA LDO with no output discharge function and 5 nA typical shutdown current. Its internal architecture uses a PMOS pass element enabling ultra-low dropout (400 mV typical at 150 mA) and stable regulation across –40°C to +85°C junction temperature.
It requires no external compensation and achieves ±25 mV load regulation (1 mA to 150 mA) and ±20 mV line regulation (1.8 V < VIN < 5.5 V). The device delivers 2.8 V output with ±4% tolerance over temperature and load, and maintains PSRR of –50 dB at 1 kHz with no input capacitor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8 V ±4% - ensures precise biasing for 2.8 V logic or analog rails without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA - sufficient for microcontrollers, sensors, and BLE radios in compact wearables. |
| Quiescent Current | 250 nA typical - enables multi-year battery life in sleep-mode-dominated applications. |
| Shutdown Current | 5 nA typical - minimizes leakage during system hibernation, critical for energy harvesting nodes. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion, LiFePO₄, alkaline, or NiMH sources directly. |
| Dropout Voltage | 400 mV typical at 150 mA - allows regulation down to ~3.2 V input for 2.8 V output, maximizing usable battery range. |
| Stability | With ≥1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor - reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. tantalum or electrolytic solutions. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 3-Lead SOT-23 - surface-mount, 2.92 mm × 1.3 mm footprint, JEDEC standard, suitable for high-density portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 1.8–5.5 V unregulated input; connects to bulk capacitance and upstream power source. |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable 2.8 V to load; requires ≥1.0 µF ceramic capacitor to GND for loop stability. |
| GND | Ground reference | Low-impedance return path for regulator ground current only; must tie to quiet ground plane near output capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ operation | 250 nA typical - extends shelf life and operational runtime in coin-cell-powered devices. |
| No output discharge | Disables automatic VOUT pull-down during shutdown - preserves state in systems requiring controlled power sequencing. |
| Ceramic-capacitor stability | Stable with 1.0 µF X7R - eliminates ESR requirements and simplifies layout in space-constrained wearables. |
| Overcurrent protection | 250 mA typical current limit - prevents thermal runaway during short-circuit or overload events. |
| Wide temperature range | –40°C to +85°C operating junction - validated for use in body-worn and ambient-exposed medical/end-user devices. |
Applications
| Smart Wearables | Hearing Aids |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1811AT-028/OT | Same 2.8 V output and 150 mA rating, but includes output discharge (DT transistor) active in shutdown. | Required where rapid VOUT discharge is needed to reset downstream logic or meet safety discharge standards. | Select if system demands controlled VOUT decay on shutdown; otherwise MCP1811BT-028/OT avoids unintended discharge. |
| Torex XC6210B282MR-G | 2.8 V, 150 mA, 250 nA IQ, SOT-23-3 - identical key specs but no shutdown pin; always-on operation. | Suitable for always-on sensor nodes where shutdown control is unnecessary and board space is constrained. | Choose when pin count reduction is prioritized and shutdown functionality is not required. |
Compared with MCP1811AT-028/OT, the MCP1811BT-028/OT eliminates output discharge to prevent unintended load reset; compared with XC6210B282MR-G, it adds active shutdown control for deeper system-level power management - making it optimal for duty-cycled, battery-sensitive applications.

FAQ
What is the shutdown behavior of the MCP1811BT-028/OT?
The MCP1811BT-028/OT enters ultra-low-power shutdown when the SHDN pin is pulled low, drawing just 5 nA typical supply current. Unlike the "A" variant, it does not activate an internal discharge transistor - so VOUT remains floating and retains its voltage until discharged externally. This behavior is confirmed in Table 1 and Section 3.4 of DS20006088C.
Does the MCP1811BT-028/OT require an input capacitor?
The MCP1811BT-028/OT does not require an input capacitor for stability, as stated in the AC/DC Characteristics table (page 4) and Figure 2-16 through 2-19 PSRR plots. However, a 1 µF ceramic input capacitor is recommended to suppress high-frequency noise and improve transient response - especially when sourced from switching regulators or long traces.
Can the MCP1811BT-028/OT be used with a 1.0 µF output capacitor?
Yes - the MCP1811BT-028/OT is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with a minimum 1.0 µF ceramic (X7R) output capacitor, as specified in the Features list (page 1) and Electrical Characteristics table (page 4). This eliminates need for ESR tuning and reduces solution size versus traditional LDOs.
What is the maximum dropout voltage specification for the MCP1811BT-028/OT at full load?
The maximum dropout voltage for the MCP1811BT-028/OT is 600 mV at 150 mA output current and +25°C, per the Electrical Characteristics table (page 4). At worst-case conditions (–40°C to +85°C), dropout remains within spec - enabling reliable 2.8 V regulation down to ~3.4 V input across temperature.
Is the MCP1811BT-028/OT pin-compatible with other variants in the MCP1811X family?
Yes - the MCP1811BT-028/OT in SOT-23-3 shares identical pinout (VIN, VOUT, GND) and footprint with all 3-lead variants including MCP1811AT-028/OT and MCP1811CT-028/OT. Pin compatibility is confirmed in the Package Types diagram (page 2) and Table 3-1 (page 19), enabling drop-in replacement where functional differences (e.g., discharge) are acceptable.
