Product details
Overview
TC1017-2.85VLTTR from Microchip Technology is a fixed-output, 2.85 V CMOS low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator in SC-70 package, delivering up to 150 mA output current with 285 mV typical dropout at full load, ±0.5% output voltage accuracy, and 53 µA typical quiescent current - optimized for battery-powered medical instruments and portable computing.
For engineers reviewing the TC1017-2.85VLTTR datasheet, TC1017-2.85VLTTR pinout, TC1017-2.85VLTTR application, or TC1017-2.85VLTTR equivalent, key selection criteria include shutdown current (0.05 µA typ), wake-up time (10 µs typ), ceramic capacitor compatibility (1 µF min), thermal shutdown threshold (160°C), and SC-70 footprint constraints.
Technical Context
The TC1017-2.85VLTTR uses a P-channel MOSFET pass element with internal bandgap reference and error amplifier feedback, enabling stable regulation across 2.7–6.0 V input and 0–150 mA load without external resistors. Its body diode (cathode at VIN, anode at VOUT) supports reverse-voltage protection in battery systems.
It integrates overcurrent limiting (120 mA typ during short-circuit), thermal shutdown (160°C trip, 10°C hysteresis), and fast transient response - achieving 32 µs typical settling time from shutdown with 1 µF ceramic output capacitance and 5.0 V input.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.85 V ±0.5% (typ), ensuring precision biasing for 2.8 V–3.0 V logic and analog circuitry. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA continuous, supporting power rails for microcontrollers, sensors, and RF front-ends in compact portable devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 285 mV (typ) at 150 mA, enabling operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or two-cell alkaline (3.2 V min) sources. |
| Quiescent Current | 53 µA (typ) active, extending battery life in always-on monitoring applications such as wearable medical sensors. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.05 µA (typ), reducing standby drain to negligible levels in pagers and handheld diagnostic tools. |
| Wake-Up Time | 10 µs (typ) from SHDN assertion, meeting real-time responsiveness requirements in burst-mode wireless transceivers. |
| Capacitor Requirement | Stable with 1 µF ceramic output capacitor (ESR 0–2 Ω), eliminating need for costly tantalum or large electrolytics. |
Pinout & Package
TC1017-2.85VLTTR is supplied in a 5-pin SC-70 package (JEDEC MO-203AA), measuring 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.9 mm, with exposed pad not electrically connected. Thermal resistance θJA = 450°C/W under JEDEC J51-7 layout conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | SHDN | Active-high shutdown control: VIH ≥ 45% VIN enables regulator; VIL ≤ 15% VIN disables output and reduces IIN to 0.05 µA. |
| 2 | NC | No-connect terminal - must be left floating; no internal connection or function. |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry; requires low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane for thermal and noise performance. |
| 4 | VOUT | Regulated 2.85 V output; bypassed with ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability and transient suppression. |
| 5 | VIN | Unregulated input (2.7–6.0 V); requires local 0.1–1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor to suppress source impedance-induced instability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| CMOS architecture | Reduces quiescent current by ~60× vs. bipolar LDOs, directly extending runtime in coin-cell or Li-ion–powered devices. |
| SC-70 footprint | 50% smaller area than SOT-23, enabling high-density layouts in space-constrained handheld medical and telecom equipment. |
| 1 µF ceramic stability | Eliminates ESR sensitivity and simplifies BOM by removing need for specialized low-ESR capacitors or compensation networks. |
| Thermal shutdown + hysteresis | 160°C trip / 150°C recovery prevents latch-up during sustained overload, protecting both IC and PCB traces. |
| Fast wake-up & settling | 10 µs wake-up and 32 µs total settling enable microsecond-scale power cycling in duty-cycled sensor nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-2802E/TT | Same SC-70 package, 2.8 V output (not 2.85 V), 250 mV dropout at 250 mA, 1.8 µA shutdown current. | Lower output voltage limits use in 2.8 V logic; higher shutdown current increases standby drain in long-life battery apps. | Select when exact 2.85 V is non-critical and lowest possible shutdown current is prioritized over output accuracy. |
| TPS780285DRVR | 2.85 V output, 200 mV dropout at 150 mA, 500 nA shutdown current, but requires 2.2 µF minimum output capacitance. | Superior shutdown current and lower dropout, but larger capacitor requirement increases cost and board area. | Select when ultra-low shutdown current justifies added capacitor size and cost - e.g., multi-year IoT sensor deployments. |
Compared with MCP1700-2802E/TT and TPS780285DRVR, TC1017-2.85VLTTR offers the optimal balance of precise 2.85 V output, minimal 1 µF ceramic support, and industry-standard 0.05 µA shutdown - making it ideal for medical and telecom designs where voltage tolerance and component count are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for TC1017-2.85VLTTR?
The absolute maximum input voltage for TC1017-2.85VLTTR is 6.0 V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. The recommended operating range is 2.7 V to 6.0 V, with minimum input constrained by both dropout and output accuracy requirements - specifically VIN ≥ (2.85 V × 1.025) + VDROPOUT.
Does TC1017-2.85VLTTR require an input capacitor?
Yes, TC1017-2.85VLTTR requires a minimum 0.1 µF ceramic input capacitor placed close to the VIN pin. This stabilizes operation under high-source-impedance conditions - such as those found in battery-powered systems with long PCB traces - preventing oscillation and improving noise rejection.
Can TC1017-2.85VLTTR be used with tantalum output capacitors?
Yes, TC1017-2.85VLTTR supports tantalum output capacitors, provided their ESR remains between 0 Ω and 2 Ω. However, ceramic X7R/X5R types are preferred due to superior low-temperature performance (down to –40°C), smaller size, and absence of aging effects that affect tantalum reliability.
What is the thermal shutdown behavior of TC1017-2.85VLTTR?
TC1017-2.85VLTTR initiates thermal shutdown at approximately 160°C junction temperature and resumes operation once the die cools to ~150°C. This hysteresis prevents rapid cycling. The absolute maximum steady-state junction temperature is +125°C; sustained operation near 160°C may cause permanent damage.
Is TC1017-2.85VLTTR pin-compatible with bipolar LDOs?
Yes, TC1017-2.85VLTTR is explicitly designed as a pin-compatible upgrade for legacy bipolar LDOs in SC-70 and SOT-23 footprints. Its SHDN, GND, VOUT, and VIN pin assignments match common 5-pin regulators - enabling drop-in replacement without PCB redesign, while delivering 60× lower quiescent current.
