Product details
Overview
MCP1811BT-028/TT 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 battery-powered systems requiring long operational life and stable voltage under light-to-moderate load. 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.
For engineers reviewing the MCP1811BT-028/TT datasheet, MCP1811BT-028/TT pinout, MCP1811BT-028/TT application, or MCP1811BT-028/TT equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package mapping, functional context, and real-world use cases - all aligned to the official DS20006088C revision C datasheet for the MCP1811B variant.
Technical Context
The MCP1811BT-028/TT belongs to the MCP1811B subfamily: it lacks output discharge functionality (distinguishing it from MCP1811A), supports 150 mA continuous output, and achieves 400 mV typical dropout at full load. Its internal error amplifier and PMOS pass transistor enable stable regulation across –40°C to +85°C junction temperature while maintaining ultra-low IQ.
It uses a fixed-output architecture with no external feedback network, simplifying design in space-constrained applications. The device enters ultra-low-power shutdown when SHDN is pulled low, drawing only 5 nA typical - making it suitable for intermittent wake-up architectures in energy-harvesting and wearable systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8 V ±4% - eliminates need for external resistors; ensures compatibility with 2.8 V logic rails and sensors. |
| Quiescent Current | 250 nA typical - enables multi-year battery life in always-on IoT nodes powered by coin cells or thin-film batteries. |
| Shutdown Current | 5 nA typical - critical for systems spending >99% of time in deep sleep (e.g., BLE beacons, environmental monitors). |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA - sufficient for microcontrollers (e.g., PIC XLP), RF transceivers, and analog front-ends in compact wearables. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V), alkaline (1.8–3.0 V), and USB-supplied (5 V) operation without external regulators. |
| Stable Output Capacitor | 1.0 µF ceramic (X7R) - reduces BOM count and PCB area; avoids electrolytic or tantalum capacitor aging and ESR issues. |
| Dropout Voltage | 400 mV typical at 150 mA - allows regulation down to ~3.2 V input when delivering 2.8 V, maximizing usable battery voltage range. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 3-Lead SOT-23 - industry-standard footprint with thermal performance optimized for low-power PCB layouts (θJA = 211.33°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 with ≥0.1 µF ceramic near pin to suppress high-frequency noise. |
| GND | Ground reference | Low-impedance return path for regulator ground current only; tie directly to output capacitor cathode for best PSRR. |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable 2.8 V; requires ≥1.0 µF X7R ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ (250 nA) | Enables >10-year runtime on CR2032 coin cell in 1 µA average-current sensor node (e.g., temperature logger waking every 60 s). |
| No output discharge | Eliminates uncontrolled VOUT discharge during shutdown - preserves state in downstream circuits retaining volatile configuration. |
| Overcurrent protection | Current-limit foldback (50 mA typical) prevents thermal runaway during short-circuit events without latch-up or manual reset. |
| Ceramic-capacitor stable | Removes need for ESR-tuned tantalum capacitors - improves reliability, reduces size, and avoids DC bias derating concerns. |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from –40°C to +85°C junction - validated for automotive cabin, industrial edge, and medical wearable environments. |
Applications
| Energy Harvesting Node | Wearable Health Monitor |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supplying low-noise 2.8 V to DSP core and audio codec during active listening mode. Use Value: PSRR >50 dB at 1 kHz suppresses switching noise from battery charger IC; stable ceramic cap avoids audible artifacts. |
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/TT | Includes output discharge (RDCH = 100 Ω); same IQ, output, and package. | Required where controlled VOUT ramp-down is needed during shutdown (e.g., FPGA configuration retention). | Select if downstream circuitry requires active discharge; otherwise MCP1811BT-028/TT offers lower complexity and cost. |
| Torex XC6210B282MR-G | 250 nA IQ, 200 mA output, 2.8 V fixed, SOT-23-3; no shutdown pin. | Suitable for always-on designs without enable control; lacks SHDN functionality and thermal shutdown flag. | Choose when enable control is unnecessary and higher output current margin is desired; verify PSRR and noise specs match system needs. |
Compared with MCP1811AT-028/TT, the MCP1811BT-028/TT trades output discharge for simplified control logic and reduced risk of unintended discharge in state-retentive systems; versus XC6210B282MR-G, it adds programmable shutdown but with slightly lower output current rating - ideal for ultra-low-power, intermittently active applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for the MCP1811BT-028/TT?
The MCP1811BT-028/TT has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +6.0 V, but its specified operating input range is 1.8 V to 5.5 V. Exceeding 5.5 V may cause permanent damage or violate safe operating area limits, especially at elevated temperatures. Always maintain VIN ≤ 5.5 V in normal operation.
Does the MCP1811BT-028/TT require an external shutdown pull-up resistor?
Yes - the SHDN pin of the MCP1811BT-028/TT is active-low and internally uncommitted. A pull-up resistor (typically 1 MΩ to VIN) is required to ensure proper startup and prevent unintended shutdown due to floating input. This matches the test condition specified in the DS20006088C datasheet.
Can the MCP1811BT-028/TT be used with a 0.47 µF output capacitor?
No - the MCP1811BT-028/TT requires a minimum 1.0 µF ceramic (X7R) output capacitor for guaranteed stability per DS20006088C. Using 0.47 µF risks oscillation, poor load transient response, and potential output voltage overshoot during startup or step-load events.
How does the MCP1811BT-028/TT compare to the MCP1812B series in terms of output current?
The MCP1811BT-028/TT delivers up to 150 mA continuous output current, whereas the MCP1812B series provides 300 mA. The MCP1811BT-028/TT is optimized for lower-power applications where 150 mA suffices - offering identical IQ, smaller solution size, and lower cost than the higher-current variant.
Is the MCP1811BT-028/TT RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes - the MCP1811BT-028/TT is manufactured in accordance with Microchip's standard environmental compliance program, meeting RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and being halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. Full compliance documentation is available in Microchip's PCN and material declarations.
