Product details
Overview
TC1303B-PA0EUN from Microchip Technology is a dual-output power management IC integrating a 500 mA synchronous buck regulator and a 300 mA low-dropout linear regulator (LDO), with the power-good (PG) output monitoring only the LDO output (VOUT2). It delivers 1.5V at 500 mA and 2.5V at 300 mA in fixed-output configuration, features 2.0 MHz PWM switching, 65 µA typical quiescent current, and operates across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. It targets space-constrained portable systems requiring tightly regulated dual-rail supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TC1303B-PA0EUN datasheet, TC1303B-PA0EUN pinout, TC1303B-PA0EUN application, or TC1303B-PA0EUN equivalent, key selection criteria include LDO-monitored PG behavior, independent SHDN2 control for the LDO, 137 mV dropout at 200 mA, DFN/MSOP package compatibility, and thermal shutdown at 165°C - all critical for battery-powered medical instruments and USB-powered devices.
Technical Context
The TC1303B-PA0EUN implements a fixed-frequency 2.0 MHz synchronous buck stage with automatic PWM-to-PFM transition under light load, minimizing idle current while maintaining low output noise. Its LDO stage uses internal compensation and requires only a single 1 µF ceramic output capacitor.
Power-good logic is dedicated solely to VOUT2 regulation (94% threshold, 300 ms delay), with a push-pull PG output - distinct from TC1303A (open-drain, monitors VOUT1) and TC1303C/TC1304 (dual-monitoring). Shutdown is independently controlled via SHDN1 (buck) and SHDN2 (LDO), enabling flexible power sequencing.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
TC1303B-PA0EUN is available in a 10-pin 3×3 mm DFN package with exposed pad (EP), pin-compatible with the MSOP variant. The exposed pad must be connected to AGND for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SHDN2) | LDO shutdown input | Active-high logic input (>45% VIN); enables/disables LDO independently of buck stage |
| 2 (VIN2) | LDO input supply | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V input; must be tied closely to VIN1 to minimize noise coupling |
| 3 (VOUT2) | LDO regulated output | Delivers fixed 1.5V/1.8V/2.5V/3.3V; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to AGND |
| 4 (PG) | Power-good indicator | Push-pull output asserting high when VOUT2 ≥94% of nominal; used for system reset coordination |
| 5 (AGND) | Analog ground reference | Separate ground return for feedback and sensing; must connect to quiet analog ground plane |
| 6 (PGND) | Power ground | High-current return path for buck switch node; ties to AGND only at single point near EP |
| 7 (LX) | Buck switch node | Connects to external inductor; carries high di/dt; requires tight loop area with PGND |
| 8 (VIN1) | Buck input supply | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V; shared input source with VIN2 per design note |
| 9 (SHDN1) | Buck shutdown input | Active-high logic input (>45% VIN); controls buck stage independently of LDO |
| 10 (VFB1/VOUT1) | Buck feedback or output | Fixed-output config: connect directly to VOUT1; adjustable config: connect divider midpoint |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent dual shutdown control | SHDN1 and SHDN2 allow staggered enable/disable of buck and LDO for precise power sequencing |
| Internally compensated LDO | Eliminates need for external compensation components; reduces BOM count and board area |
| Low-noise 2.0 MHz buck switching | Enables use of miniature 4.7 µH inductors and avoids audible noise in sensitive audio/medical systems |
| Push-pull PG output (TC1303B only) | Drives reset lines directly without pull-up resistor; simplifies interface to microcontrollers with open-drain inputs |
| Thermal and UVLO protection | Automatically disables outputs during overtemperature (165°C) or input undervoltage (<2.4 V) |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP16321-500/300 | Same buck+LDO architecture, but PG monitors buck output only; no SHDN2 pin - LDO always enabled when buck is active | Suitable where LDO must remain on during buck sleep; not viable for independent LDO control | Select if system requires simpler control with no need for LDO-only shutdown |
| TPS65023RGZR | Triple-output (2 buck + 1 LDO), I2C programmable, higher IQ (120 µA), larger 4×4 QFN package | Used in OMAP-based handhelds requiring dynamic voltage scaling; adds complexity and cost | Select only if additional rail or digital configurability justifies size and cost premium |
Compared with MCP16321-500/300 and TPS65023RGZR, TC1303B-PA0EUN uniquely offers LDO-monitored PG and independent SHDN2 - essential for systems where LDO-supplied peripherals must assert reset before buck-powered logic initializes.

FAQ
What is the power-good (PG) behavior of TC1303B-PA0EUN?
The TC1303B-PA0EUN features a push-pull PG output that monitors only the LDO output (VOUT2), asserting high when VOUT2 reaches ≥94% of its nominal value. It includes a fixed 300 ms delay after regulation is achieved, making it ideal for coordinating processor reset timing in systems where the LDO powers critical logic. This differs from TC1303A (monitors buck) and TC1303C (monitors both).
Does TC1303B-PA0EUN support adjustable output voltage on the buck regulator?
Yes, TC1303B-PA0EUN supports adjustable buck output from 0.8 V to 4.5 V using an external resistor divider connected to the VFB1/VOUT1 pin. The internal reference is 0.8 V ±2.5%, and the part also offers factory-trimmed fixed outputs (0.8/1.2/1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V). The LDO output remains fixed per variant - for TC1303B-PA0EUN, it is 1.5 V and 2.5 V.
What package options are available for TC1303B-PA0EUN?
TC1303B-PA0EUN is offered in a 10-pin 3×3 mm DFN package with exposed thermal pad (EP), and is pin-compatible with the 10-pin MSOP variant. The DFN version provides superior thermal performance (θJA = 41°C/W on 4-layer board) and smaller footprint, while the MSOP eases hand-soldering and prototyping. Both require AGND connection to the exposed pad.
How does TC1303B-PA0EUN manage efficiency across load conditions?
TC1303B-PA0EUN uses automatic PWM-to-PFM mode transition in the buck stage: at heavy loads (>100 mA), it operates in fixed 2.0 MHz PWM for high efficiency (>90% typical); at light loads, it shifts to PFM to reduce switching losses and maintain 65 µA total IQ. The LDO contributes ~46 µA IQ when active, and both regulators feature internal compensation to avoid external components.
Can TC1303B-PA0EUN operate from a single Li-ion cell?
Yes, TC1303B-PA0EUN supports input voltages from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, fully covering the discharge range of a single Li-ion cell (2.7–4.2 V). Its 137 mV LDO dropout at 200 mA ensures stable 2.5 V output down to 2.637 V input, and the buck stage maintains regulation even at minimum VIN when configured for ≤2.5 V output - enabling robust operation across full battery life.
