Product details
Overview
SIP21106DR-12-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a fixed-output 1.2 V, 150 mA low-noise LDO voltage regulator in SC70-5L package. It features 135 mV dropout at full load, 60 µV(rms) output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz), 1.0 % output accuracy at 25 °C, and ultra-low 35 µA ground current at 1 mA load-designed for battery-powered RF systems requiring quiet, stable bias.
For engineers reviewing the SIP21106DR-12-E3 datasheet, SIP21106DR-12-E3 pinout, SIP21106DR-12-E3 application, or SIP21106DR-12-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance under 150 mA load, SC70-5L thermal derating (3.4 mW/°C above 70 °C), BP pin bypass capacitor requirement (10 nF), and absence of POK or adjustable feedback functionality.
Technical Context
The SIP21106DR-12-E3 uses a P-channel MOSFET pass transistor with 0.9 Ω typical on-resistance and a 1.2 V bandgap reference. Its error amplifier compares feedback voltage against this reference to regulate output, enabling fast transient response and stable operation with only 1 µF ceramic output capacitance.
Shutdown is controlled via EN pin (logic-low threshold ≤0.4 V), triggering auto-discharge through a 100 Ω internal NMOS. The BP pin provides dedicated noise filtering-requiring a 10 nF capacitor to ground-and is not present in SiP21107 (POK) or SiP21108 (Adj) variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2 V ±2.5 % over -40 °C to +85 °C ambient-ensures stable core logic or sensor bias without external resistors. |
| Dropout Voltage | 135 mV at 150 mA load-enables regulation down to VIN = 1.335 V, extending usable battery range in single-cell Li-ion or alkaline systems. |
| Output Noise | 60 µV(rms), 10 Hz–100 kHz bandwidth with 10 nF BP capacitor-meets stringent RF LNA and PLL supply noise requirements. |
| Ground Current | 35 µA typical at 1 mA load-minimizes quiescent drain during light-load standby in portable devices. |
| Shutdown Current | ≤1 µA maximum at 85 °C-preserves battery life during deep sleep modes. |
| Thermal Protection | 160 °C junction shutdown with 20 °C hysteresis-prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heat sinking. |
| Package | SC70-5L (2.1 mm × 2.1 mm × 0.95 mm)-supports high-density layouts while limiting power dissipation to 187 mW at TA = 70 °C. |
Pinout & Package
SC70-5L package: 2.1 mm × 2.1 mm × 0.95 mm, lead-free, RoHS-compliant, rated for -40 °C to +85 °C ambient operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (EN) | Enable input | Active-high control: ≥1.2 V enables regulation; ≤0.4 V disables output and activates 100 Ω auto-discharge path. |
| 2 (GND) | Power ground | Primary thermal and electrical return-must connect to large copper plane for thermal derating compliance (3.4 mW/°C above 70 °C). |
| 3 (VIN) | Input supply | Accepts 2.2 V to 6 V; requires 1 µF low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 4 (VOUT) | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 1.2 V up to 150 mA; stable with ≥1 µF ceramic output capacitor (6 nF/mA minimum). |
| 5 (BP) | Noise bypass | Connects to 10 nF ceramic capacitor to ground-reduces output noise by filtering reference and error amp noise sources. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise architecture | 60 µV(rms) output noise with 10 nF BP capacitor-enables use in RF front-end biasing where PSRR alone is insufficient. |
| P-channel pass transistor | 0.9 Ω typical RDS(on) eliminates base-drive current loss-delivers higher efficiency than PNP-based LDOs at light loads. |
| Auto-discharge on shutdown | 100 Ω internal NMOS discharges 1 µF output cap in <1 ms-prevents residual voltage from interfering with system reset sequencing. |
| Stable with small ceramics | Guaranteed stability with 1 µF X7R/Y7R output capacitor-reduces BOM count and board area vs. tantalum or larger MLCC solutions. |
| Full industrial temperature range | Specified from -40 °C to +85 °C ambient-validates performance in handheld, automotive accessory, and industrial sensor environments. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for SIP21106DR-12-E3?
The absolute maximum input voltage for SIP21106DR-12-E3 is 6.5 V relative to GND. Operation above 6 V is outside the recommended range (2.2 V to 6 V) and may accelerate parametric drift or reduce long-term reliability, especially at elevated temperatures. Always maintain VIN within 2.2 V to 6 V for full specification compliance.
Does SIP21106DR-12-E3 require an external bypass capacitor on the BP pin?
Yes, SIP21106DR-12-E3 requires a 10 nF ceramic capacitor connected between the BP pin and GND to achieve its specified 60 µV(rms) output noise performance. Omitting this capacitor increases noise to ~350 µV(rms), matching the SiP21107/SiP21108 variants. Larger values (>50 nF) are not recommended due to startup timing effects.
Can SIP21106DR-12-E3 be used with a 1 µF output capacitor?
Yes, SIP21106DR-12-E3 is fully stable with a 1 µF X7R or Y7R ceramic output capacitor, as confirmed in the datasheet's Application Information section. This value satisfies the 6 nF/mA minimum requirement for 150 mA load and ensures adequate phase margin across -40 °C to +85 °C.
What is the thermal derating behavior of SIP21106DR-12-E3 in SC70-5L package?
SIP21106DR-12-E3 in SC70-5L has a thermal derating factor of 3.4 mW/°C above TA = 70 °C. Its maximum package power dissipation drops from 187 mW at 70 °C to 119 mW at 85 °C ambient-requiring careful attention to PCB copper area and ambient airflow in thermally constrained designs.
Is SIP21106DR-12-E3 still in active production?
No, SIP21106DR-12-E3 is End of Life per Vishay documentation (Last Available Purchase Date: 31-Dec-2014). Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory with traceable sourcing and supports lifecycle availability coordination-including obsolescence forecasting and last-time buy planning-for ongoing production programs.
