Product details
Overview
MCP1811BT-040/LT from Microchip Technology is a 150 mA ultra-low-quiescent-current LDO regulator with fixed 4.0 V output, 250 nA typical IQ, and shutdown capability (5 nA typical ISHDN). It operates from 1.8V to 5.5V input and is stable with a 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor. Designed for energy harvesting and long-life battery-powered systems such as hearing aids and smart wearables.
For engineers reviewing the MCP1811BT-040/LT datasheet, MCP1811BT-040/LT pinout, MCP1811BT-040/LT application, or MCP1811BT-040/LT equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low shutdown current, 4.0 V fixed output accuracy (±4%), dropout voltage at full load (≤600 mV), thermal performance in UDFN package, and compatibility with micro-power MCU subsystems.
Technical Context
The MCP1811BT-040/LT belongs to the MCP1811B variant-no output discharge function, optimized for lowest shutdown current (5 nA typ). Its internal error amplifier and PMOS pass device enable stable regulation across –40°C to +85°C junction temperature with minimal line/load regulation drift.
It uses a low-noise bandgap reference and supports dynamic load steps up to 150 mA with <100 µs recovery. The device requires no external compensation and achieves >50 dB PSRR at 1 kHz with zero input capacitor, making it suitable for noise-sensitive analog and RF supply rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 4.0 V ±4% - ensures precise biasing for 3.3 V/4.0 V logic interfaces and analog sensors without external feedback. |
| Quiescent Current | 250 nA typical - enables multi-year operation on coin cells in sleep-mode IoT endpoints. |
| Shutdown Current | 5 nA typical - minimizes leakage during deep-sleep states in wearable medical devices. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA - sufficient to power ultra-low-power MCUs (e.g., PIC XLP), BLE radios, and sensor signal chains simultaneously. |
| Dropout Voltage | 600 mV max at 150 mA - allows operation down to 4.6 V input while maintaining regulated 4.0 V output. |
| Stability | Stable with 1.0 µF X7R ceramic COUT - reduces BOM count, PCB area, and cost vs. tantalum or aluminum electrolytic solutions. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C junction - qualified for industrial and medical-grade portable equipment environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 4-Lead 1 × 1 mm UDFN with exposed thermal pad (EP) - provides low θJA = 91.05°C/W on JEDEC 4-layer board, enabling high power efficiency in space-constrained designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 1.8–5.5 V; must be decoupled locally to suppress noise coupling into regulated output. |
| SHDN | Active-high enable control | Pulled high (>70% VIN) to enable; driven low to enter 5 nA shutdown mode; 0.1 nA leakage preserves battery life. |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable 4.0 V ±4%; requires ≥1.0 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability and transient response. |
| GND | Ground reference | Low-impedance return path for load and quiescent current; tie directly to output capacitor ground for optimal PSRR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ (250 nA) | Extends shelf life and operational runtime of primary-cell-powered devices beyond 10 years in duty-cycled applications. |
| No output discharge (MCP1811B) | Prevents unintended discharge of downstream capacitors during shutdown-critical for preserving state in backup power domains. |
| 1.0 µF ceramic stability | Eliminates need for large, aging-prone electrolytics; enables miniaturized, high-reliability power stages in wearables. |
| Overcurrent protection | Current-limit foldback (50 mA typical) protects against short circuits without latch-up, supporting robust field deployment. |
| High PSRR (–50 dB @ 1 kHz) | Rejects switching noise from DC-DC converters or digital ICs, enabling clean analog supply rails without additional filtering. |
Applications
| Energy Harvesting Systems | Long-Life Medical Devices |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6210B402MR-G | 4.0 V fixed output, 250 nA IQ, SOT-25 package (5-pin), includes output discharge. | Output discharge may conflict with systems requiring hold-up voltage retention during shutdown. | Select when fast VOUT ramp-down is required; verify GND routing compatibility with 5-pin layout. |
| Ricoh RP114K401D-TR-F | 4.0 V fixed output, 300 nA IQ, DFN1006-4 package, no output discharge, 150 mA rating. | Slightly higher IQ and different thermal resistance (θJA = 120°C/W); lower max input voltage (5.0 V). | Choose for cost-sensitive volume production where 5.0 V max VIN suffices and thermal margin permits. |
Compared with MCP1811BT-040/LT, the XC6210B402MR-G adds output discharge but requires PCB redesign for 5-pin SOT-25, while the RP114K401D-TR-F trades 50 nA higher IQ and reduced input range for broader distributor availability and lower unit cost in high-volume deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MCP1811BT-040/LT?
The MCP1811BT-040/LT has an absolute maximum input voltage 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 parametric guarantees per DS20006088C-page 4 Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does the MCP1811BT-040/LT include output discharge functionality?
No, the MCP1811BT-040/LT is part of the MCP1811B variant, which omits the output discharge transistor. This means VOUT remains floating after shutdown-critical for preserving charge in backup capacitors or retaining state in downstream circuitry.
What output capacitor value is required for stability with the MCP1811BT-040/LT?
A minimum 1.0 µF X7R ceramic capacitor is required at VOUT for stability. Microchip validates this value across temperature and load conditions; smaller values risk oscillation, while larger values improve transient response without compromising stability.
Can the MCP1811BT-040/LT operate from a single alkaline cell?
Yes-the MCP1811BT-040/LT supports input voltages as low as 1.8 V. When paired with a fresh alkaline cell (~1.6 V nominal), it cannot regulate 4.0 V; however, it functions reliably with two series alkaline cells (3.2 V initial), delivering full 150 mA output down to ~4.6 V input (i.e., 2.3 V/cell).
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the MCP1811BT-040/LT in its UDFN package?
The MCP1811BT-040/LT in the 4-lead 1 × 1 mm UDFN package has a measured θJA of 91.05°C/W on a JEDEC-standard 4-layer FR4 board with 1 oz. copper and thermal vias. This enables continuous 150 mA operation at ambient temperatures up to +70°C without derating.
