Product details
Overview
SIP21106DT-46-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a fixed-output 4.6 V, 150 mA low-noise low-dropout (LDO) regulator in TSOT23-5L package, featuring 135 mV dropout at full load, 60 µV(rms) output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz), and ±1.0 % output voltage accuracy at 25 °C. It delivers stable power to RF sections and battery-sensitive portable electronics such as wireless handsets and digital cameras.
For engineers reviewing the SIP21106DT-46-E3 datasheet, SIP21106DT-46-E3 pinout, SIP21106DT-46-E3 application, or SIP21106DT-46-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low ground current (35 µA typ. at 1 mA), active output auto-discharge (100 Ω NMOS), shutdown current ≤1 µA, and compatibility with 1 µF ceramic output capacitors without external compensation.
Technical Context
The SIP21106DT-46-E3 employs a P-channel MOSFET pass transistor with 0.9 Ω typical on-resistance, enabling low dropout and eliminating base-drive current losses inherent in PNP-based LDOs. Its bandgap reference (1.2 V) feeds an error amplifier that regulates output by adjusting the PMOS gate voltage via internal feedback.
Startup includes active pull-down for fast transient response; shutdown mode disables regulation and engages a 100 Ω internal discharge path to ground. The BP pin accepts a 10 nF bypass capacitor to suppress output noise-critical for RF supply rails where spectral purity is essential.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 4.6 V ±1.0 % at 25 °C; ensures precise biasing for 4.5–4.7 V logic or analog circuitry without external resistors. |
| Dropout Voltage | 135 mV at 150 mA load; enables operation down to VIN = 4.735 V while maintaining regulation-critical for single-cell Li-ion or dual-cell alkaline systems. |
| Output Noise | 60 µV(rms), 10 Hz–100 kHz bandwidth with 10 nF BP capacitor; meets stringent RF supply noise requirements for cellular transceivers and low-phase-noise oscillators. |
| Ground Current | 35 µA typical at 1 mA load; extends battery runtime in always-on standby modes of portable devices. |
| Shutdown Current | ≤1 µA at 85 °C; minimizes leakage during deep sleep, supporting multi-week shelf life in battery-powered IoT sensors. |
| Auto-Discharge Resistance | 100 Ω NMOS pull-down at EN = 0 V; discharges 1 µF output cap in <1 ms, preventing residual voltage from interfering with system reset sequencing. |
| Thermal Protection | 160 °C junction shutdown with 20 °C hysteresis; prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
TSOT23-5L package (3.05 mm × 2.85 mm × 1.0 mm), RoHS-compliant, rated for -40 °C to +85 °C ambient operation.
| 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-requires no external pull-up if tied to VIN. |
| 2 (GND) | Power ground | Primary thermal and electrical return path; must connect directly to large PCB ground plane for thermal dissipation and noise immunity. |
| 3 (VIN) | Input supply | Accepts 2.2–6.0 V input; requires 1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor close to pin to suppress line noise and support transient response. |
| 4 (VOUT) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 4.6 V; supports 1 µF ceramic output capacitor for stability-no ESR requirement needed. |
| 5 (BP) | Noise bypass | Connects to 10 nF ceramic capacitor to ground; forms low-pass filter that reduces high-frequency output noise by >20 dB across 10 kHz–100 kHz band. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low noise regulation | 60 µV(rms) output noise with 10 nF BP cap-enables clean power for RF front-ends and precision ADC references. |
| P-channel MOSFET pass element | 0.9 Ω typical RDS(on) eliminates base-current loss, reducing quiescent current vs. PNP LDOs and improving light-load efficiency. |
| Fast transient recovery | Active pull-down circuit during startup improves load-step response time to <50 µs-prevents brownout during processor wake-up bursts. |
| Integrated safety protections | 330 mA current limit (typ.) and 160 °C thermal shutdown with hysteresis prevent failure under short-circuit or overheating conditions. |
| Small-footprint packaging | TSOT23-5L footprint (3.05 mm × 2.85 mm) saves board space vs. SOT-23-5 alternatives while maintaining thermal performance via exposed pad-compatible layout. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-4602E/TT | 300 mA output, 1.6 µA quiescent current, no BP pin; 170 mV dropout at 250 mA. | Lacks dedicated noise-bypass capability; higher dropout limits use in low-VIN battery scenarios. | Select when ultra-low IQ dominates over noise performance and load exceeds 150 mA. |
| Torex XC6206P462MR-G | 150 mA, 60 µV(rms) noise, but no BP pin; 200 mV dropout at 150 mA; SC-70-5 package. | Higher dropout and no configurable noise filtering reduce suitability for RF or tight-VIN designs. | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-RF applications where 4.6 V accuracy and small size are primary. |
Compared with MCP1700T-4602E/TT and XC6206P462MR-G, SIP21106DT-46-E3 uniquely combines 135 mV dropout, 60 µV(rms) noise with BP pin, and 100 Ω auto-discharge-making it optimal for RF and battery-constrained portable systems where both efficiency and spectral purity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for SIP21106DT-46-E3?
The absolute maximum input voltage for SIP21106DT-46-E3 is 6.5 V relative to GND. Operation above 6.0 V is outside the recommended range and may compromise long-term reliability or parametric performance. The device is specified for continuous operation from 2.2 V to 6.0 V input, with dropout behavior defined at loads up to 150 mA.
Does SIP21106DT-46-E3 require an external bypass capacitor on the BP pin?
Yes-SIP21106DT-46-E3 requires a 10 nF ceramic capacitor 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). The BP pin is not functional in SiP21107/SiP21108 variants, confirming its dedicated noise-filtering role in SIP21106DT-46-E3.
Can SIP21106DT-46-E3 be used with a 1 µF output capacitor?
Yes-SIP21106DT-46-E3 is explicitly designed for stable operation with a minimum 1 µF ceramic output capacitor and does not require ESR tuning. This simplifies layout and reduces BOM count versus older LDOs needing tantalum or aluminum electrolytic caps with specific ESR ranges.
What happens to the output when the EN pin is pulled low?
When EN is pulled below 0.4 V, SIP21106DT-46-E3 enters shutdown mode: regulation ceases, quiescent current drops to ≤1 µA, and the internal 100 Ω NMOS connects VOUT to GND, discharging a 1 µF capacitor in under 1 ms. This prevents floating outputs and ensures deterministic reset behavior in host systems.
Is SIP21106DT-46-E3 still in production?
No-SIP21106DT-46-E3 is End of Life per Vishay documentation (Last Available Purchase Date: 31-Dec-2014). Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory with full traceability and provides lifecycle coordination support, including cross-reference guidance and obsolescence mitigation planning for ongoing production programs.
