Product details
Overview
SIP21106DR-30-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a fixed-output 3.0 V, 150 mA low-noise LDO voltage regulator in SC70-5L package. It delivers 135 mV dropout at full load, 60 µV(rms) output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz), ±1.0 % output accuracy at 25 °C, and 35 µA ground current at 1 mA - optimized for battery-powered RF systems requiring ultra-low noise and extended runtime.
For engineers reviewing the SIP21106DR-30-E3 datasheet, SIP21106DR-30-E3 pinout, SIP21106DR-30-E3 application, or SIP21106DR-30-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-noise performance with BP capacitor support, auto-discharge on shutdown, industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +85 °C), and compatibility with 1 µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The SIP21106DR-30-E3 uses a P-channel MOSFET pass transistor with 0.9 Ω typical on-resistance, enabling low dropout and near-zero gate drive current. Its bandgap reference (1.2 V) and error amplifier regulate output by comparing feedback voltage against this stable reference, delivering precise 3.0 V output across load and line variations.
It integrates active pull-down (100 Ω NMOS) for fast output discharge during shutdown, thermal shutdown at 160 °C with 20 °C hysteresis, and short-circuit protection limiting output current to 330 mA typical. The BP pin accepts a 10 nF bypass capacitor to suppress high-frequency noise without compromising startup time.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0 V ±1.0 % at 25 °C; ensures stable core supply for 3.0 V logic and RF ICs |
| Dropout Voltage | 135 mV at 150 mA load; enables operation down to VIN = 3.135 V, extending battery life in single-cell Li-ion or alkaline systems |
| Output Noise | 60 µV(rms), 10 Hz–100 kHz with 10 nF BP cap; meets stringent noise requirements for RF receivers and PLLs |
| Ground Current | 35 µA typical at 1 mA load; minimizes quiescent drain in standby mode for portable devices |
| Shutdown Current | ≤1 µA max at 85 °C; supports ultra-low-power sleep states in always-on subsystems |
| Thermal Protection | 160 °C junction shutdown with 20 °C hysteresis; prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design |
| Auto-Discharge | 100 Ω internal NMOS pull-down; discharges 1 µF output cap in <1 ms upon EN deassertion, preventing floating rail issues |
Pinout & Package
SC70-5L package: 2.1 mm × 2.1 mm × 0.95 mm, RoHS-compliant, lead-free, 5-pin surface-mount.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (EN) | Enable input | Active-high control: ≥1.2 V enables regulation; ≤0.4 V disables output and activates auto-discharge |
| 2 (GND) | Power ground | Primary return path and thermal conduction node; must connect to large copper plane for thermal management |
| 3 (VIN) | Input supply | Accepts 2.2–6.0 V input; requires 1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor to ground for stability and noise rejection |
| 4 (VOUT) | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 3.0 V; stable with ≥1 µF ceramic output capacitor; supports up to 150 mA continuous load |
| 5 (BP) | Noise bypass | Connects external 10 nF ceramic capacitor to ground to reduce output noise; not required for basic operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise architecture | 60 µV(rms) output noise with BP capacitor enables use in sensitive RF front-ends and ADC reference supplies |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for SIP21106DR-30-E3?
The absolute maximum input voltage for SIP21106DR-30-E3 is 6.5 V relative to GND. Operation above 6.0 V is outside the recommended range and may degrade long-term reliability. For continuous operation, VIN must remain between 2.2 V and 6.0 V per the Recommended Operating Range table in the datasheet. Exceeding 6.5 V risks permanent damage to the internal P-channel pass transistor and bandgap reference circuitry.
Does SIP21106DR-30-E3 require an external bypass capacitor on the BP pin?
SIP21106DR-30-E3 does not require an external bypass capacitor on the BP pin for basic regulation, but a 10 nF ceramic capacitor is mandatory to achieve the specified 60 µV(rms) output noise performance. Without it, output noise rises to ~350 µV(rms). The BP capacitor forms a low-pass filter with internal impedance; values >50 nF are not recommended as they delay startup and increase ground current.
How does the auto-discharge function work in SIP21106DR-30-E3?
When the EN pin is pulled low, SIP21106DR-30-E3 enters shutdown mode and activates an internal 100 Ω NMOS transistor between VOUT and GND. This provides a controlled discharge path: a 1 µF output capacitor discharges to <10 % of nominal voltage in under 1 ms. The feature prevents floating outputs that could cause undefined logic states or latch-up in downstream circuits during power sequencing.
What is the thermal derating behavior of SIP21106DR-30-E3 in SC70-5L package?
In the SC70-5L package, SIP21106DR-30-E3 has a thermal resistance θJA of 294 °C/W. Above 70 °C ambient, power dissipation must be linearly derated at 3.4 mW/°C. For example, at 85 °C ambient, maximum allowable power drops to 187 mW − (15 °C × 3.4 mW/°C) = 136 mW. This limits usable output current at high ambient temperatures - e.g., at VIN = 4.5 V and VOUT = 3.0 V, max IOUT ≈ 91 mA.
Is SIP21106DR-30-E3 still in production or available for new designs?
SIP21106DR-30-E3 is End of Life (EOL) with Last Available Purchase Date of 31-Dec-2014. It is no longer in production, but Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory and supports obsolescence management. For new designs, engineers should evaluate functional alternatives such as TCS21106D30R (pin-compatible second source) or newer Vishay LDOs like the SiP22403 series, which offer improved PSRR and lower noise in modern packages.
