Product details
Overview
MCP1811BT-033/LB from Microchip Technology is an ultra-low quiescent current (250 nA typical) 150 mA low-dropout linear regulator with fixed 3.3V output, designed for energy harvesting and long-life battery-powered systems. It operates from 1.8V to 5.5V input, supports ceramic output capacitors as small as 1.0 µF, and features 5 nA typical shutdown current - ideal for wearable electronics and medical devices requiring multi-year operation on coin cells.
For engineers reviewing the MCP1811BT-033/LB datasheet, MCP1811BT-033/LB pinout, MCP1811BT-033/LB application, or MCP1811BT-033/LB equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package mapping to 3-lead SOT-23, functional role in ultra-low-power supply rails, and validated alternative options for design continuity.
Technical Context
The MCP1811BT-033/LB belongs to the MCP1811B variant - a no-output-discharge version of Microchip's ultra-low-IQ LDO family. Its internal architecture uses a PMOS pass transistor enabling 400 mV typical dropout at 150 mA load and stable regulation across –40°C to +85°C junction temperature.
It integrates overcurrent protection and logic-level shutdown control (VSHDN-HIGH ≥70% VIN, VSHDN-LOW ≤20% VIN), with ground current scaling linearly from ~90 µA at zero load to 110 µA at full 150 mA - critical for accurate battery life modeling in sleep-active duty cycles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±4% - ensures compatibility with 3.3V I/O domains of ultra-low-power MCUs without external feedback. |
| Quiescent Current | 250 nA typical - enables >10-year battery life in 10 µA average-current applications using CR2032 cells. |
| Shutdown Current | 5 nA typical - reduces standby drain to negligible levels during deep-sleep modes in sensor nodes. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA - sufficient to power RF transceivers (e.g., BLE SoCs) or mixed-signal sensors during active bursts. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - supports direct connection to single-cell Li-ion, LiFePO4, or multi-cell alkaline sources. |
| Dropout Voltage | 400 mV typical at 150 mA - allows regulation down to 3.7V input when powering 3.3V loads from aging batteries. |
| Stability Capacitor | 1.0 µF ceramic (X7R) - eliminates need for bulky tantalum or electrolytic caps, reducing PCB area and cost. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 3-Lead SOT-23 (SC-59), JEDEC MO-178AA, 2.92 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body height, exposed pad not present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input voltage supply | Accepts unregulated input (1.8–5.5V); requires local 1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor near pin. |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable 3.3V; connects directly to load and output capacitor (min. 1.0 µF X7R). |
| GND | Ground reference | Low-impedance return path for regulator core and load; must tie to quiet ground plane or output cap return. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ | 250 nA typical operation enables >10-year runtime on 220 mAh coin cells in 1% duty-cycle 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 ceramics - eliminates ESR requirements and simplifies layout vs. traditional LDOs. |
| Wide input range | 1.8–5.5V operation supports direct integration with harvested energy sources (e.g., solar, thermal, RF). |
| Overcurrent protection | Foldback current limit (50 mA typ.) prevents thermal runaway during short-circuit events without latch-up. |
Applications
| Wearable Health Monitors | Energy-Harvesting Sensor Nodes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-3302E/MB | Same 3.3V output, 250 nA IQ, but only 250 mA max output; includes output discharge; packaged in SOT-23. | Output discharge enables faster system reset; higher current suits burst-heavy loads like GSM modems. | Select when output discharge is required and 250 mA capability adds margin for future feature expansion. |
| Torex XC6206P332MR-G | 3.3V fixed, 1 µA IQ, 250 mA output; requires 1.0 µF ceramic; no shutdown pin; SOT-23-3 package. | Lacks enable/shutdown control - always-on operation; higher IQ reduces battery life in intermittent-use devices. | Choose for cost-sensitive, always-on applications where shutdown functionality is unnecessary and 1 µA IQ suffices. |
Compared with MCP1700T-3302E/MB and XC6206P332MR-G, the MCP1811BT-033/LB provides the lowest shutdown current (5 nA vs. 100 nA and none), making it uniquely suited for multi-year battery life in infrequently awakened IoT endpoints.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MCP1811BT-033/LB?
The MCP1811BT-033/LB has an absolute maximum input voltage of +6.0V per its datasheet. However, for reliable continuous operation, the recommended input range is 1.8V to 5.5V. Exceeding 5.5V risks permanent damage even if within the absolute maximum rating, due to internal stress on the PMOS pass device and bandgap reference circuitry.
Does the MCP1811BT-033/LB include output discharge functionality?
No, the MCP1811BT-033/LB does not include output discharge. As indicated by the "B" suffix in its part number (per Table 1 of DS20006088C), it belongs to the MCP1811B variant, which omits the internal discharge transistor. This means VOUT remains floating or slowly decays via external load paths when SHDN is asserted.
Can the MCP1811BT-033/LB operate with a 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes, the MCP1811BT-033/LB is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with a minimum 1.0 µF X7R ceramic output capacitor, as confirmed in the "Stable with Ceramic Output Capacitor" feature list and AC/DC specifications table. No ESR requirements or additional compensation components are needed.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the MCP1811BT-033/LB in its SOT-23 package?
The MCP1811BT-033/LB 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 standard PCB layout practices - no thermal vias or copper pour enhancements.
How does the MCP1811BT-033/LB behave during startup from shutdown mode?
When released from shutdown (SHDN rising above 70% VIN), the MCP1811BT-033/LB exhibits a typical start-up rise time of 200–1000 µs to reach 95% of 3.3V output, with a start-up delay of ~400 µs from SHDN edge to VOUT crossing 10% of VR. No external soft-start circuitry is required.
