Product details
Overview
SIP21106DT-12-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 150 mA, low-noise, low-dropout linear regulator with fixed 1.2 V output, 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-sensitive applications such as cellular handsets and digital cameras.
For engineers reviewing the SIP21106DT-12-E3 datasheet, SIP21106DT-12-E3 pinout, SIP21106DT-12-E3 application, or SIP21106DT-12-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under 150 mA load, output noise performance without external bypass capacitor dependency, shutdown current <1 µA, thermal protection at 160 °C, and compatibility with 1 µF ceramic output capacitors in TSOT23-5L footprint.
Technical Context
The SIP21106DT-12-E3 employs a P-channel MOSFET pass transistor with 0.9 Ω typical on-resistance, enabling low quiescent current and eliminating base-drive losses inherent in PNP-based LDOs. Its bandgap reference (1.2 V) feeds an error amplifier that regulates output by modulating the PMOS gate voltage.
Startup includes active pull-down for fast transient response, and shutdown mode engages a 100 Ω NMOS auto-discharge path to ground the output within 1 ms for 1 µF load. The BP pin supports optional 10 nF noise-bypass filtering but is not required for stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2 V ±1.0 % at 25 °C - ensures precise core voltage for low-power microcontrollers and RF ICs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 135 mV at 150 mA load - enables operation down to VIN = 1.335 V, extending battery runtime in single-cell Li-ion or alkaline systems. |
| Output Noise | 60 µV(rms), 10 Hz–100 kHz - meets stringent RF supply noise requirements without mandatory external bypass capacitor. |
| Ground Current | 35 µA typical at 1 mA load - minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems like real-time clocks or sensor interfaces. |
| Shutdown Current | ≤1 µA at 85 °C - guarantees negligible battery drain during deep sleep modes in portable electronics. |
| Thermal Protection | 160 °C junction shutdown with 20 °C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Package | TSOT23-5L (3.05 mm × 2.85 mm × 1.0 mm) - compact, lead-free surface-mount package compatible with standard SMT assembly. |
Pinout & Package
TSOT23-5L package: 3.05 mm × 2.85 mm × 1.0 mm, Pb-free, industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +85 °C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic: ≥1.2 V enables regulation; ≤0.4 V disables output and activates 100 Ω auto-discharge path. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Primary thermal and electrical return path; must connect directly to large PCB ground plane for thermal management. |
| 3 - VIN | Input supply | Accepts 2.2 V to 6.0 V input; requires 1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor to ground for stability and line-transient suppression. |
| 4 - VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable 1.2 V to load; supports 1 µF ceramic output capacitor with ESR < 0.4 Ω for full-temperature stability. |
| 5 - BP | Noise bypass terminal | Optional 10 nF capacitor to ground reduces output noise; not required for basic operation or stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low noise output | 60 µV(rms) over 10 Hz–100 kHz bandwidth enables direct use in RF front-end power rails without additional filtering. |
| Low dropout architecture | 135 mV dropout at 150 mA allows operation from near-dead batteries (e.g., 1.335 V input for 1.2 V output), maximizing usable battery capacity. |
| Auto-discharge on shutdown | Integrated 100 Ω NMOS discharges VOUT to ground in <1 ms for 1 µF load, preventing unintended back-powering of downstream circuitry. |
| Robust protection suite | Includes short-circuit limiting (330 mA typical) and thermal shutdown (160 °C) with hysteresis, enabling reliable operation in uncontrolled environments. |
| Small-footprint packaging | TSOT23-5L footprint (3.05 mm × 2.85 mm) saves board space versus SC70-5L or TSC75-6L variants while maintaining thermal performance. |
Applications
| Cellular Handsets | Digital Cameras |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1202E/MB | 150 mA, 1.2 V fixed, 600 mV dropout at 150 mA, 30 µV(rms) noise, SOT23-5 package | Higher dropout limits usable input range; lower noise suits ultra-sensitive analog, but reduced efficiency in battery systems | Select when absolute minimum noise dominates over battery life; verify thermal derating for 150 mA continuous load in SOT23-5. |
| Torex XC6206P122MR-G | 150 mA, 1.2 V fixed, 250 mV dropout at 150 mA, 40 µV(rms) noise, SOT23-5 package | Lower noise than SIP21106DT-12-E3 but higher dropout reduces headroom; no auto-discharge function | Prefer for noise-critical analog supplies where shutdown discharge is handled externally; confirm 250 mV dropout meets system VIN min spec. |
Compared with MCP1700T-1202E/MB and XC6206P122MR-G, SIP21106DT-12-E3 delivers superior efficiency via 135 mV dropout while maintaining competitive noise (60 µV), and uniquely integrates auto-discharge-critical for systems requiring fast, controlled power-down without external circuitry.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for SIP21106DT-12-E3?
The absolute maximum input voltage for SIP21106DT-12-E3 is 6.5 V relative to GND. Operation above 6.0 V is outside the recommended range and may compromise long-term reliability. The device is specified for continuous operation from 2.2 V to 6.0 V input across −40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature.
Does SIP21106DT-12-E3 require an external bypass capacitor on the BP pin?
No, SIP21106DT-12-E3 does not require an external bypass capacitor on the BP pin for stable operation. A 10 nF ceramic capacitor is optional and only used to reduce output noise to 60 µV(rms); omitting it maintains regulation but increases noise to ~350 µV(rms) per family specifications.
What is the thermal shutdown behavior of SIP21106DT-12-E3?
SIP21106DT-12-E3 activates thermal shutdown at approximately 160 °C junction temperature and resumes normal operation after cooling by ~20 °C hysteresis. During sustained overload, this results in pulsed output rather than permanent latch-off, protecting the device while allowing recovery once thermal conditions improve.
Can SIP21106DT-12-E3 be used with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 1 µF?
Yes, SIP21106DT-12-E3 is stable with output capacitance as low as 6 nF/mA (≈0.9 µF at 150 mA). However, 1 µF is the minimum recommended value for guaranteed stability across the full −40 °C to +85 °C temperature range and all load conditions per datasheet validation.
Is SIP21106DT-12-E3 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, SIP21106DT-12-E3 is RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC compliant and manufactured in a lead-free process. The TSOT23-5L package uses matte tin plating and meets JEDEC MO-193 mechanical standards, with full compliance documented in Vishay's PPAP and material declarations.
