Product details
Overview
TC1269-5.0VUATR from Microchip Technology is a fixed-output, high-accuracy (±0.5%) CMOS low-dropout linear regulator delivering 300mA with ultra-low dropout voltage (240mV at full load), 50µA typical supply current, and integrated shutdown control - designed for battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable 5.0V rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the TC1269-5.0VUATR datasheet, TC1269-5.0VUATR pinout, TC1269-5.0VUATR application, or TC1269-5.0VUATR equivalent, key selection criteria include output accuracy over temperature (40 ppm/°C), Bypass-input-enabled noise reduction (260 nV/√Hz), thermal/overcurrent protection, and MSOP-8 footprint compatibility in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The TC1269-5.0VUATR implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with precision bandgap reference and internal error amplifier, enabling stable regulation across 0–300mA load without supply current increase - unlike legacy bipolar regulators. Its shutdown input (SHDN) provides logic-level control (VIH ≥ 45% VIN, VIL ≤ 15% VIN) to reduce quiescent current to 0.05µA while forcing VOUT to zero.
Stability is achieved with only 1µF output capacitance (ESR 0.1–5.0Ω), and optional 470pF bypass capacitor on the Bypass pin reduces reference noise, lowering output noise to 260 nV/√Hz at 1kHz. Thermal shutdown activates at 150°C with hysteresis (re-enable at ~140°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0V ±0.5% (ensures reliable 5V logic interface compliance across -40°C to +125°C) |
| Max Output Current | 300mA (supports moderate-power microcontrollers, sensors, and analog circuitry) |
| Dropout Voltage | 240mV at 300mA (enables operation from 5.24V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or 5.5V SMPS post-regulation) |
| Supply Current | 50µA typical at full load (20–60× lower than bipolar LDOs, extending battery life) |
| Output Noise | 260 nV/√Hz at 1kHz (ultra-low noise enables clean power for ADCs, RF front-ends, and precision analog) |
| PSRR | 50dB ≤120Hz (effective rejection of low-frequency switching noise from upstream SMPS) |
| Temp Coefficient | 40 ppm/°C (tight VOUT drift supports stable timing and reference circuits over wide ambient range) |
Pinout & Package
TC1269-5.0VUATR is housed in an 8-pin MSOP package (3.0mm × 3.0mm, 0.65mm pitch), optimized for compact PCB layouts and thermal performance via lead conduction. Pin 1 is VOUT; pins 2, 3, and 6 are no-connect (NC); pin 4 is GND; pin 5 is Bypass; pin 7 is SHDN; pin 8 is VIN.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT (Pin 1) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 5.0V to load; requires ≥1µF ceramic or tantalum output capacitor to ground |
| NC (Pins 2, 3, 6) | No connection | Must remain unconnected; no internal bonding or function - floating per design |
| GND (Pin 4) | Ground reference | Primary return path for load and internal circuitry; connects to system ground plane for noise control |
| Bypass (Pin 5) | Reference bypass node | Accepts 470pF capacitor to ground to reduce internal reference noise and improve output spectral purity |
| SHDN (Pin 7) | Active-high enable | Logic high (≥45% VIN) enables regulation; logic low (≤15% VIN) disables output and drops supply current to 0.05µA |
| VIN (Pin 8) | Unregulated input | Accepts 2.7–6.0V input; must be decoupled with ≥1µF capacitor if >10" trace length or battery sourced |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 240mV at 300mA enables use with marginal input margins (e.g., 5.24V min for 5.0V out), preserving headroom in battery-fed systems |
| CMOS architecture | 50µA supply current independent of load ensures consistent battery runtime across operating conditions - unlike current-hungry bipolar LDOs |
| Bypass-input noise reduction | 470pF on Bypass pin cuts output noise to 260 nV/√Hz, meeting requirements for noise-sensitive analog/RF stages without external filtering |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown (150°C trip) and current limiting (550–650mA short-circuit limit) prevent damage during fault conditions without external components |
| High accuracy & stability | ±0.5% initial tolerance and 40 ppm/°C tempco ensure precise 5.0V rail for ADC references, sensor excitation, and digital I/O voltage translation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-5002E/MB | 250mA max output, 1.6µA quiescent current, same 5.0V fixed output, SOT-23-5 package | Limited to lower current loads; superior for ultra-low-power sleep modes but unsuitable for 300mA peaks | Select when <250mA load and sub-µA shutdown current are prioritized over peak current capability |
| NCP1117ST50T3G | 1A output, 8mV/mA load regulation, higher 1.2V dropout, TO-220/SOT-223 package | Higher thermal mass and larger footprint; better for high-current, high-dissipation scenarios | Select when >300mA continuous load or higher thermal margin is required, accepting larger size and higher dropout |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for TC1269-5.0VUATR?
The absolute maximum input voltage for TC1269-5.0VUATR is 6.5V, but the recommended operating input voltage range is 2.7V to 6.0V. Exceeding 6.5V risks permanent damage. Operation within the 2.7–6.0V range ensures compliance with electrical specifications including dropout, accuracy, and thermal behavior across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
Does TC1269-5.0VUATR require an external capacitor on the Bypass pin?
No, the Bypass pin on TC1269-5.0VUATR is optional: connecting a 470pF capacitor improves output noise performance to 260 nV/√Hz, but leaving it unconnected still yields functional regulation. Larger capacitors increase startup time; values beyond 470pF offer diminishing returns and may delay VOUT settling during power-on.
What is the shutdown current consumption of TC1269-5.0VUATR?
TC1269-5.0VUATR draws 0.05µA typical (maximum 0.5µA) supply current in shutdown mode when the SHDN pin is held low (≤15% VIN). During shutdown, VOUT falls to zero volts, and internal circuitry is disabled - enabling ultra-low-power battery preservation in standby or sleep states.
Can TC1269-5.0VUATR operate stably with a 1µF output capacitor?
Yes, TC1269-5.0VUATR is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with a minimum 1µF output capacitor (ceramic or tantalum, ESR 0.1–5.0Ω). This eliminates need for larger or specialized compensation networks, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count compared to LDOs requiring ≥10µF for stability.
Is TC1269-5.0VUATR pin-compatible with other variants in the TC1269 family?
Yes, all TC1269 variants-including TC1269-2.5VUA, TC1269-3.3VUA, and TC1269-5.0VUA-share identical 8-pin MSOP packaging and pinout (VOUT, NC, NC, GND, Bypass, NC, SHDN, VIN). Only the output voltage differs; no PCB redesign is needed when substituting between fixed-voltage versions of the TC1269 family.
