Product details
Overview
TC1016-2.7VCTTR from Microchip Technology is a fixed-output, 2.7 V CMOS low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator in a 5-pin SOT-23 package, delivering up to 80 mA output current with 150 mV typical dropout at full load, ±0.5% typical output voltage accuracy, and 53 µA typical quiescent current - optimized for battery-powered portable electronics including medical instruments and cellular handsets.
For engineers reviewing the TC1016-2.7VCTTR datasheet, TC1016-2.7VCTTR pinout, TC1016-2.7VCTTR application, or TC1016-2.7VCTTR equivalent, key selection criteria include shutdown current (0.05 µA typ.), wake-up time (10 µs typ.), ceramic capacitor compatibility (1 µF min), thermal/overcurrent protection, and pin compatibility with legacy bipolar LDOs in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The TC1016-2.7VCTTR uses a P-channel MOSFET pass element enabling ultra-low quiescent current and fast wake-up response. Its internal bandgap reference and error amplifier regulate output by sensing VOUT via an integrated resistor divider, eliminating external feedback components.
It integrates shutdown control (SHDN), overcurrent limiting (120 mA typ.), and thermal shutdown (160°C trip, 10°C hysteresis). Input voltage range is 2.7 V to 6.0 V; output remains stable across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature with ≤0.23% load regulation (0.1–80 mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.7 V ±0.5% (typ.) - ensures stable rail for 2.7 V–3.0 V logic and analog circuitry without external adjustment. |
| Max Output Current | 80 mA - sufficient for microcontrollers, sensors, and RF front-ends in portable systems. |
| Dropout Voltage | 150 mV (typ.) at 80 mA - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or two-cell alkaline (3.2 V min) with margin. |
| Quiescent Current | 53 µA (typ.) - extends battery life significantly vs. bipolar LDOs (up to 60× lower IQ). |
| Shutdown Current | 0.05 µA (typ.) - minimizes standby drain in always-on or sleep-mode applications. |
| Wake-Up Time | 10 µs (typ.) - supports rapid power cycling in burst-mode communication systems. |
| Output Capacitor | 1 µF ceramic (X5R/X7R) - enables compact, low-ESR stability without tantalum or electrolytic parts. |
Pinout & Package
TC1016-2.7VCTTR is supplied in a RoHS-compliant, Pb-free 5-pin SOT-23 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with 0.95 mm pitch, 2.95 mm length, and 1.63 mm width. Thermal resistance θJA ≈ 450°C/W on standard PCB layout.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VIN | Unregulated input supply (2.7–6.0 V); requires ≥0.1 µF ceramic bypass close to pin. |
| 2 | VOUT | Regulated 2.7 V output; must be bypassed with ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability. |
| 3 | SHDN | Active-high shutdown control; VIH ≥60% VIN enables regulator; VIL ≤15% VIN disables it. |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference for regulator and error amplifier; tie directly to low-impedance ground plane. |
| 5 | NC | No-connect terminal - left unconnected per design; no internal connection or function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| CMOS P-channel pass transistor | Enables 53 µA quiescent current and eliminates body diode reverse conduction during input reversal. |
| Integrated thermal shutdown | Trips at ~160°C with 10°C hysteresis, protecting device and PCB during overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Internal current limit | 120 mA typical short-circuit current - prevents damage during output faults without external current sense. |
| Fast wake-up & settling | 10 µs wake-up time and 32 µs total settling time enable responsive power management in duty-cycled systems. |
| Low-noise operation | 800 nV/√Hz output noise at 10 kHz - suitable for noise-sensitive analog and RF supply rails. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-2702E/TO | Same 2.7 V output, 250 mA rating, but higher 1.8 µA quiescent current and 600 mV dropout at 250 mA. | Better suited for higher-current loads; less optimal for ultra-low-IQ battery longevity. | Select MCP1700-2702E/TO only if >80 mA output or wider input range (up to 6.0 V) is required - not drop-in compatible due to different pinout. |
| TPS76327QDBVRQ1 | Automotive-grade 2.7 V LDO with 80 mA rating, 85 µA IQ, and 300 mV dropout at 80 mA; AEC-Q100 qualified. | Designed for automotive environments (–40°C to +125°C), with enhanced ESD and transient immunity. | Choose TPS76327QDBVRQ1 when automotive qualification, higher PSRR (60 dB), or robustness under load transients is mandatory. |
Compared with MCP1700-2702E/TO and TPS76327QDBVRQ1, TC1016-2.7VCTTR delivers the lowest quiescent current (53 µA) and fastest wake-up (10 µs) in its class, making it optimal for consumer portable devices where battery life and responsiveness outweigh automotive or high-current requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for TC1016-2.7VCTTR?
The absolute maximum input voltage for TC1016-2.7VCTTR is 6.0 V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. The minimum input voltage is 2.7 V, but must also satisfy VIN ≥ (2.7 V + 2.5%) + dropout voltage (≥2.77 V typical) to maintain regulation. For reliable 80 mA operation, VIN ≥ 2.85 V is recommended.
Does TC1016-2.7VCTTR require an external feedback network?
No, TC1016-2.7VCTTR does not require an external feedback network. It is a fixed-output regulator with the 2.7 V reference set internally via laser-trimmed resistors. The output voltage is stable across temperature and load without external components - only input and output ceramic capacitors are required.
Can TC1016-2.7VCTTR be used with tantalum or aluminum electrolytic output capacitors?
TC1016-2.7VCTTR is optimized for 1 µF ceramic (X5R/X7R) output capacitors with ESR between 0–2 Ω. While tantalum and aluminum electrolytic capacitors may function, their higher ESR and low-temperature performance limitations (e.g., freezing below –30°C) can compromise stability and transient response. Ceramic is strongly recommended.
What happens to the output during TC1016-2.7VCTTR shutdown mode?
During shutdown mode (SHDN < 15% VIN), TC1016-2.7VCTTR disables the P-channel pass transistor, causing VOUT to fall to 0 V. Output leakage is negligible, and supply current drops to 0.05 µA (typ.). The device retains no output voltage - it is fully disconnected from VIN, making it suitable for true zero-power standby states.
Is TC1016-2.7VCTTR pin-compatible with bipolar LDOs like LM2936?
TC1016-2.7VCTTR is explicitly designed as a pin-compatible upgrade for bipolar LDOs in SOT-23 packages. Pin 1 (VIN), Pin 2 (VOUT), Pin 3 (SHDN), Pin 4 (GND), and Pin 5 (NC) match common 5-pin LDO footprints. However, SHDN functionality and CMOS-level thresholds differ - direct replacement requires verifying control logic compatibility.
