Product details
Overview
MCP1811BT-030/LB from Microchip Technology is a 150 mA ultra-low-quiescent-current LDO linear regulator with fixed 3.0 V output, 250 nA typical operating current, and 5 nA typical shutdown current. It operates from 1.8V to 5.5V input, supports ceramic output capacitors as low as 1.0 µF, and features overcurrent protection - ideal for energy harvesting nodes and battery-powered wearable sensors.
For engineers reviewing the MCP1811BT-030/LB datasheet, MCP1811BT-030/LB pinout, MCP1811BT-030/LB application, or MCP1811BT-030/LB equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package mapping to 4-lead 1×1 mm UDFN, functional role in ultra-low-power supply rails, and validated alternative options for long-life embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MCP1811BT-030/LB belongs to the MCP1811B variant group (no output discharge), delivering 3.0 V at up to 150 mA with dropout voltage ≤600 mV at full load. Its internal architecture uses a PMOS pass element and error amplifier optimized for stability with minimal 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitance.
It supports active operation across –40°C to +85°C junction temperature, features logic-compatible shutdown control (VSHDN-LOW ≤20% VIN), and maintains ±25 mV load regulation from 1 mA to 150 mA - enabling reliable power delivery in dynamically loaded sensor subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0 V ±4% - ensures stable biasing for 3.3 V–tolerant microcontrollers and RF transceivers without external feedback. |
| Quiescent Current | 250 nA typical - enables multi-year battery life in sleep-mode IoT endpoints drawing sub-µA system current. |
| Shutdown Current | 5 nA typical - reduces standby drain to negligible levels during deep-sleep or storage modes. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA - sufficient for BLE SoCs, low-power ADCs, and MEMS sensors in compact wearables. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, LiFePO₄, alkaline, and energy-harvested sources. |
| Stability Capacitor | 1.0 µF ceramic (X7R) - minimizes PCB area and cost while ensuring phase margin >60° across temperature. |
| Dropout Voltage | 600 mV max at 150 mA - allows operation down to ~3.6 V input when powering 3.0 V loads from aging batteries. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 4-lead 1×1 mm UDFN with exposed thermal pad (EP). Compact footprint suits space-constrained wearables and medical patches.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 1.8–5.5 V unregulated input; requires local 1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor. |
| SHDN | Active-low enable control | Pulled high internally; driven low to enter 5 nA shutdown mode - no external pull-up needed. |
| VOUT | Regulated 3.0 V output | Delivers up to 150 mA; connects directly to load and 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor. |
| GND | Ground reference | Low-impedance return path; must be tied to quiet ground plane near output capacitor for optimal PSRR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ operation | 250 nA typical - extends coin-cell lifetime beyond 10 years in duty-cycled sensor nodes. |
| No output discharge | Omits internal discharge FET - prevents unintended load discharge during shutdown, preserving state in backup circuits. |
| Ceramic capacitor stability | Stable with ≥1.0 µF X7R ceramic - eliminates need for larger, less reliable tantalum or electrolytic capacitors. |
| Overcurrent protection | Foldback current limit at ~50 mA - protects device and source during short-circuit events without latch-up. |
| Wide temperature range | –40°C to +85°C operation - qualified for industrial and medical environments without derating. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-3002E/MB | Same 3.0 V output, 250 nA IQ, but SOT-23-3 package (no SHDN pin); no shutdown capability. | Suitable only for always-on applications; lacks enable control for dynamic power gating. | Select when board space permits SOT-23 and system-level enable is handled externally. |
| TPL7407LPGEDR | 3.0 V, 150 mA, 350 nA IQ, 6-pin WSON; includes integrated 7-channel low-side driver. | Combines LDO + driver functionality - not a drop-in replacement, but reduces BOM count in LED/display systems. | Choose when driving discrete loads (e.g., OLED segments) alongside regulated power is required. |
Compared with MCP1700T-3002E/MB, MCP1811BT-030/LB adds active shutdown control in a smaller UDFN package; versus TPL7407LPGEDR, it provides dedicated LDO performance without driver overhead - making it optimal for pure ultra-low-power rail generation where pin count and IQ are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MCP1811BT-030/LB?
The MCP1811BT-030/LB has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +6.0 V. However, its specified operating input range is 1.8 V to 5.5 V. Exceeding 5.5 V may cause permanent damage or violate reliability specifications - always maintain VIN within 1.8–5.5 V during normal operation of the MCP1811BT-030/LB.
Does the MCP1811BT-030/LB include output discharge functionality?
No, the MCP1811BT-030/LB does not include output discharge. As a member of the MCP1811B variant group, it omits the internal discharge transistor present in MCP1811A devices. This means VOUT remains floating after shutdown - critical for preserving state in backup circuits powered by the MCP1811BT-030/LB.
What is the minimum output capacitor required for stability with the MCP1811BT-030/LB?
The MCP1811BT-030/LB requires a minimum 1.0 µF X7R ceramic capacitor on the VOUT pin for guaranteed stability across temperature and load conditions. Using lower values or non-ceramic types may cause oscillation or poor transient response - always place the capacitor within 2 mm of the VOUT and GND pins of the MCP1811BT-030/LB.
Can the MCP1811BT-030/LB operate at –40°C ambient temperature?
Yes, the MCP1811BT-030/LB is fully specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C junction temperature. Its electrical parameters - including quiescent current, load regulation, and dropout voltage - are tested and guaranteed across this full industrial temperature range, making it suitable for outdoor and medical-grade deployments where the MCP1811BT-030/LB must remain reliable under thermal stress.
How does the shutdown pin (SHDN) interface with common microcontrollers?
The SHDN pin of the MCP1811BT-030/LB is active-low and logic-compatible: it asserts shutdown when pulled below 20% of VIN (e.g., <1.1 V at VIN = 5.5 V). Most 3.3 V or 5 V GPIOs can drive it directly; no level-shifting is needed. The MCP1811BT-030/LB draws only 0.1–0.5 nA leakage on SHDN, minimizing impact on host MCU I/O loading.
