Product details
Overview
SIP21106DT-26-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 150 mA, low-noise, low-dropout linear regulator with fixed 2.6 V output, 135 mV dropout at full load, 60 µV(rms) output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz), ±1.0 % output voltage 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-26-E3 datasheet, SIP21106DT-26-E3 pinout, SIP21106DT-26-E3 application, or SIP21106DT-26-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its TSOT23-5L package footprint, BP pin noise-bypass capability, EN-controlled shutdown with auto-discharge, and compatibility with 1 µF ceramic output capacitors without external compensation.
Technical Context
The SIP21106DT-26-E3 uses an internal P-channel MOSFET pass device (0.9 Ω typical RDS(on)) and a 1.2 V bandgap reference to achieve precise regulation. Its error amplifier compares feedback against the reference and drives the PMOS gate to maintain output stability across load and line variations.
It features active pull-down during shutdown (100 Ω NMOS discharge path), built-in short-circuit protection (330 mA typical limit), and thermal shutdown at 160 °C with 20 °C hysteresis - enabling robust operation in portable systems where transient response and quiescent power are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.6 V ±1.0 % at 25 °C; ensures stable core supply for 2.5–2.7 V logic rails |
| Dropout Voltage | 135 mV at 150 mA load; enables regulation down to VIN = 2.73 V, extending battery runtime |
| Output Noise | 60 µV(rms), 10 Hz–100 kHz with 10 nF BP capacitor; meets RF section noise floor requirements |
| Ground Current | 35 µA typical at 1 mA load; minimizes standby current drain in always-on subsystems |
| Shutdown Current | ≤1 µA at 85 °C; supports long-term battery storage without significant self-discharge |
| PSRR | 75 dB at 1 kHz (with BP cap); suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters |
| Auto-Discharge | 100 Ω internal NMOS path discharges 1 µF output cap in <1 ms on EN deassertion |
Pinout & Package
Package: TSOT23-5L (3.05 mm × 2.85 mm × 1.0 mm), RoHS-compliant, industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +85 °C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic; <0.4 V disables regulator and activates auto-discharge |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Primary thermal path; must connect to large PCB ground plane for thermal management |
| 3 - VIN | Input supply | Accepts 2.2–6.0 V; requires 1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND |
| 4 - BP | Noise bypass terminal | Connects 10 nF ceramic cap to GND to reduce output noise by filtering reference path |
| 5 - VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers 2.6 V at up to 150 mA; stable with ≥1 µF ceramic output capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise architecture | 60 µV(rms) output noise with 10 nF BP capacitor enables clean power for RF transceivers and ADCs |
| P-channel MOSFET pass device | Eliminates base-drive current loss, enabling 35 µA ground current at light load vs. >100 µA in PNP LDOs |
| Integrated auto-discharge | 100 Ω internal NMOS pulls VOUT to GND within 1 ms of EN deactivation - prevents floating bias in multi-rail systems |
| Stable with small ceramics | Guaranteed stability with 1 µF X7R/Y7R output capacitor - reduces BOM count and board area vs. tantalum solutions |
| Thermal & short-circuit protection | 160 °C thermal shutdown with 20 °C hysteresis and 330 mA current limit prevent damage during fault conditions |

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-2602E/MB | 300 mA rated, 1.6 µA quiescent current, no BP pin, 170 mV dropout at 250 mA | Lacks dedicated noise-bypass capability; higher dropout limits low-VIN usability | Preferred when higher output current and ultra-low IQ outweigh noise performance needs |
| TCS21106DVP-26-E3 | Same SiP21106 family, TSC75-6L package (1.6 mm × 1.6 mm), identical electrical specs | Smaller footprint but lower thermal dissipation (420 mW vs. 305 mW max PD) | Select when board space is constrained and thermal margin permits smaller package |
Compared with MCP1700T-2602E/MB, SIP21106DT-26-E3 delivers 3× lower output noise and 2.5× better PSRR at 1 kHz, while TCS21106DVP-26-E3 offers identical regulation performance in a 40 % smaller footprint - both tradeoffs require revalidation of thermal design and noise-sensitive layout.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for SIP21106DT-26-E3?
The absolute maximum input voltage for SIP21106DT-26-E3 is 6.5 V relative to GND. The recommended operating range is 2.2 V to 6.0 V. Exceeding 6.5 V may cause permanent damage. Operation above 6.0 V is not guaranteed per specifications and risks violating thermal limits - especially in TSOT23-5L package where power dissipation is constrained to 305 mW at TA = 70 °C.
Does SIP21106DT-26-E3 require an external bypass capacitor on the BP pin?
Yes, SIP21106DT-26-E3 requires a 10 nF ceramic capacitor connected from the BP pin to GND to achieve its specified 60 µV(rms) output noise performance. Without this capacitor, output noise increases to ~350 µV(rms). The BP pin is unique to the SiP21106 variant and is not present in SiP21107 or SiP21108 versions - using SIP21106DT-26-E3 without the BP cap compromises its primary low-noise advantage.
How does the auto-discharge function operate in SIP21106DT-26-E3?
When the EN pin is driven low, SIP21106DT-26-E3 enters shutdown mode and activates an internal 100 Ω NMOS transistor between VOUT and GND. This path discharges a 1 µF output capacitor in under 1 ms. The discharge resistance is specified at 100 Ω (typical) and remains functional across −40 °C to +85 °C ambient. This feature prevents unintended biasing of downstream circuitry and eliminates need for external discharge resistors in SIP21106DT-26-E3 designs.
Can SIP21106DT-26-E3 be used with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 1 µF?
No - SIP21106DT-26-E3 requires a minimum 1 µF ceramic output capacitor (X7R or Y7R dielectric) for guaranteed stability across the full −40 °C to +85 °C temperature range. The datasheet specifies stability with "6 nF/mA" capacitance, which equates to ≥0.9 µF at 150 mA. Using <1 µF risks oscillation, especially with Z5U/Y5V capacitors whose ESR varies widely with temperature. SIP21106DT-26-E3 has no external compensation pins, so capacitor selection is non-negotiable for reliable operation.
Is SIP21106DT-26-E3 still in production or available for new designs?
SIP21106DT-26-E3 is End of Life (EOL) with last available purchase date of 31-Dec-2014. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains verified legacy stock with full traceability and supports ongoing production programs through controlled allocation and lifecycle coordination. Design-in is feasible for maintenance, repair, and obsolescence-mitigated programs - but new designs should evaluate modern alternatives unless SIP21106DT-26-E3's specific noise and footprint advantages are irreplaceable.
