Product details
Overview
SIP21106DR-18-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a fixed-output 1.8 V, 150 mA low-noise LDO voltage regulator in SC70-5L package. It delivers 60 µV(rms) output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz), 135 mV dropout at 150 mA, and 35 µA ground current at 1 mA load-enabling extended battery life in portable RF-sensitive systems such as wireless handsets and digital cameras.
For engineers reviewing the SIP21106DR-18-E3 datasheet, SIP21106DR-18-E3 pinout, SIP21106DR-18-E3 application, or SIP21106DR-18-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low noise performance, SC70-5L footprint compatibility, auto-discharge capability during shutdown, and operation across –40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature.
Technical Context
The SIP21106DR-18-E3 uses a P-channel MOSFET pass transistor with 0.9 Ω typical on-resistance, eliminating base-drive current losses inherent in PNP-based LDOs. Its bandgap reference (1.2 V) and error amplifier maintain regulation via internal feedback, achieving ±1.0 % output accuracy at 25 °C and ±2.5 % over full temperature range.
Startup employs an active pull-down circuit for fast transient response; shutdown mode activates a 100 Ω NMOS discharge path to ground, discharging a 1 µF output capacitor in under 1 ms. The BP pin accepts a 10 nF ceramic bypass capacitor to suppress output noise without compromising stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±1.0 % at 25 °C - ensures stable core supply for low-voltage microcontrollers and RF ICs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 135 mV at 150 mA load - enables operation down to VIN = 1.935 V, maximizing usable battery range. |
| Output Noise | 60 µV(rms), 10 Hz–100 kHz bandwidth - meets stringent noise requirements for RF front-end power rails. |
| Ground Current | 35 µA typical at 1 mA load - minimizes quiescent drain in battery standby mode. |
| Shutdown Current | ≤1 µA at 85 °C - preserves battery charge during system sleep states. |
| Thermal Protection | 160 °C junction shutdown with 20 °C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage under sustained overload. |
| Capacitor Support | Stable with ≥1 µF ceramic output capacitor (ESR < 0.4 Ω) - reduces BOM cost and board area vs. tantalum alternatives. |
Pinout & Package
SC70-5L package (2.1 mm × 2.1 mm × 0.95 mm), RoHS-compliant, rated for –40 °C to +85 °C ambient operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - EN | Enable control input | Logic-high (>1.2 V) enables regulation; logic-low (<0.4 V) disables output and activates 100 Ω auto-discharge path. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Primary thermal and electrical return path; requires direct connection to large PCB ground plane for thermal management. |
| 3 - VIN | Input supply | Accepts 2.2–6.0 V input; must be bypassed with ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to suppress line noise and improve PSRR. |
| 4 - VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 1.8 V ±2.5 % over temperature; supports peak 330 mA short-circuit current with foldback limiting. |
| 5 - BP | Noise bypass terminal | Connects external 10 nF ceramic capacitor to ground to reduce output noise by filtering reference/amp noise sources. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low output noise | 60 µV(rms) with 10 nF BP capacitor - enables clean power for RF transceivers and ADC references. |
| Auto-discharge on shutdown | 100 Ω internal NMOS pulls VOUT to GND in <1 ms - eliminates residual voltage that could disrupt downstream logic sequencing. |
| P-channel pass transistor | 0.9 Ω typical RDS(on) - eliminates base-current loss, enabling 35 µA ground current at light loads. |
| Low dropout architecture | 135 mV at full 150 mA load - extends usable battery life by >15 % compared to 200+ mV-dropout regulators. |
| Full industrial temp support | Specified from –40 °C to +85 °C ambient - validated for automotive infotainment and industrial handheld deployments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1802E/TT | 300 mA output, 1.8 V fixed, 600 mV dropout at 250 mA, 17 µA quiescent current | Larger dropout limits usable battery range; lower quiescent current benefits ultra-low-power sleep modes | Select when higher output current headroom is needed and input voltage margin exceeds 0.6 V above 1.8 V. |
| TCS21106DVP-18-E3 | Same SiP21106 family, TSC75-6L package (1.6 mm × 1.6 mm), identical electrical specs | Smaller footprint and lower thermal resistance (131 °C/W vs. 294 °C/W) but requires different PCB land pattern | Select when board space is constrained and thermal performance is critical; not pin-compatible with SC70-5L layout. |
Compared with MCP1700T-1802E/TT, SIP21106DR-18-E3 offers 4.5× lower dropout and superior noise performance but lower max output current; versus TCS21106DVP-18-E3, it shares identical regulation behavior but trades thermal efficiency for simplified SC70-5L assembly and broader distributor availability.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for SIP21106DR-18-E3?
The absolute maximum input voltage for SIP21106DR-18-E3 is 6.5 V relative to GND. Operation above 6.0 V is outside the recommended range and may degrade long-term reliability. The device is specified for continuous operation between 2.2 V and 6.0 V input, ensuring compatibility with single-cell Li-ion (up to 4.2 V) and dual-cell alkaline (up to 3.2 V) sources.
Does SIP21106DR-18-E3 require an external bypass capacitor on the BP pin?
Yes, SIP21106DR-18-E3 requires a 10 nF ceramic capacitor connected from the BP pin to GND to achieve its specified 60 µV(rms) output noise performance. Omitting this capacitor increases noise to ~350 µV(rms). The BP pin is not used for stability compensation-the regulator remains stable with only the required 1 µF output capacitor.
How does the auto-discharge function operate in SIP21106DR-18-E3?
When the EN pin is driven low, SIP21106DR-18-E3 enters shutdown mode and activates an internal 100 Ω NMOS transistor between VOUT and GND. This path discharges a 1 µF output capacitor from 1.8 V to <100 mV in under 1 ms, preventing residual voltage from interfering with downstream power sequencing or causing latch-up in connected logic.
Is SIP21106DR-18-E3 compatible with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, SIP21106DR-18-E3 is fully compatible with ceramic output capacitors. It is stable with ≥1 µF X7R or Y7R dielectric types having ESR < 0.4 Ω. Z5U/Y5V ceramics are discouraged due to capacitance drift; if used, ≥2.2 µF is recommended to ensure stability across –40 °C to +85 °C.
What thermal derating applies to SIP21106DR-18-E3 in SC70-5L package?
SIP21106DR-18-E3 in SC70-5L has a thermal resistance θJA of 294 °C/W. Above 70 °C ambient, power dissipation must be derated at 3.4 mW/°C. For example, at 85 °C ambient, maximum allowable power drops to 305 mW − (15 °C × 3.4 mW/°C) = 254 mW, limiting IOUT to ~141 mA at 1.8 V output.
