Product details
Overview
TC1303B-PI0EMFTR 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 power-good monitoring specifically tied to the LDO output. It delivers 94% regulation threshold detection, 137 mV typical dropout at 200 mA for VOUT2, and operates across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. It targets portable battery-powered systems requiring tightly regulated dual-rail supplies such as USB-powered devices and handheld medical instruments.
For engineers reviewing the TC1303B-PI0EMFTR datasheet, TC1303B-PI0EMFTR pinout, TC1303B-PI0EMFTR application, or TC1303B-PI0EMFTR equivalent, key selection criteria include LDO-monitored PG behavior, independent SHDN2 control, 2.0 MHz fixed-frequency PWM operation with automatic PFM transition, 65 µA typical quiescent current, and compatibility with 1 µF ceramic output capacitors on VOUT2.
Technical Context
The TC1303B-PI0EMFTR implements a synchronous buck stage with integrated P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs (RDS(on) = 450 mΩ each), operating at a fixed 2.0 MHz switching frequency under heavy load and transitioning automatically to pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) at light loads to maintain ultra-low quiescent current. Its LDO stage features internal compensation and supports standard fixed outputs (1.5V/1.8V/2.5V/3.3V).
Unlike TC1303A (buck-monitored PG) or TC1303C/TC1304 (dual-monitored PG), the TC1303B variant exclusively monitors VOUT2 for power-good assertion, and provides a push-pull PG output - confirmed in DS21949C-page 7 and page 9 - enabling direct interface with processor reset inputs without external pull-up.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output 1 Type | 500 mA synchronous buck regulator with internal MOSFETs and 2.0 MHz fixed-frequency PWM |
| Output 2 Type | 300 mA low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) with 137 mV typical dropout @ 200 mA |
| Power-Good Monitoring | Push-pull PG output triggered only by LDO (VOUT2) regulation status, with 94% threshold and 300 ms delay |
| Quiescent Current | 65 µA typical total device IQ with both outputs active - enables >100-hour standby in coin-cell–powered devices |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single Li-ion, Li-polymer, or USB 5 V supply rails |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C junction range - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature portable applications |
| Protection Features | Undervoltage lockout (2.55 V nominal), overtemperature shutdown (165°C), and short-circuit protection on both outputs |
Pinout & Package
TC1303B-PI0EMFTR is housed in a 10-pin 3×3 mm DFN package with exposed thermal pad (EP), pin-compatible with the MSOP variant. The package supports high thermal performance (θJA = 41°C/W on 4-layer board) and requires EP connection to AGND per DS21949C-page 5.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SHDN2 | LDO enable input | Active-high logic input (>45% VIN); controls LDO output independently of buck stage |
| VIN2 | LDO input supply | Accepts same input as VIN1 (2.7–5.5 V); must be routed with minimal trace length to VIN1 |
| VOUT2 | LDO regulated output | Delivers fixed 1.5V/1.8V/2.5V/3.3V; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to AGND |
| PG | Power-good indicator | Push-pull output asserting high when VOUT2 reaches 94% of target; no external pull-up needed |
| AGND | Analog ground reference | Separate ground return for feedback and regulation circuitry; must tie to low-noise analog ground plane |
| VFB1/VOUT1 | Buck feedback or output | Configured as VOUT1 for fixed-output variants; used as feedback node for adjustable versions |
| LX | Buck switch node | Connects to external 4.7 µH inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - requires tight layout |
| VIN1 | Buck input supply | Main input for buck stage; shares source with VIN2 - must be low-impedance path |
| PGND | Power ground | High-current return path for buck stage; separate from AGND but connected at single point |
| SHDN1 | Buck enable input | Active-high logic input (>45% VIN); enables/disables buck regulator independently of LDO |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent shutdown control | SHDN1 and SHDN2 allow sequenced power-up/down of buck and LDO outputs - critical for FPGA or multi-rail SoC biasing |
| Internally compensated LDO | Eliminates need for external compensation network; enables stable operation with only 1 µF ceramic output capacitor |
| Automatic PWM-to-PFM mode transition | Maintains high efficiency (>85%) down to 1 mA load without manual mode selection or control pin intervention |
| Low-noise buck architecture | 2.0 MHz fixed frequency minimizes EMI filter size; typical output noise <1.8 µV/√Hz below 1 kHz |
| LDO-monitored push-pull PG | Directly drives processor RESET line without pull-up resistor - reduces BOM count and improves noise immunity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TC1303A-PI0EMFTR | PG monitors buck output (VOUT1), not LDO; PG is open-drain, requiring external pull-up | Suitable where system reset depends on main processor rail stability, not auxiliary bias rail | Select when primary regulation monitoring is required on the higher-current buck output |
| TPS65023RSBR | Triple-output (2 buck + 1 LDO), I²C programmable, 2.25 MHz switching, but 125 µA IQ and QFN-24 package | Supports dynamic voltage scaling and more complex sequencing; larger footprint and higher cost | Choose when design requires >2 rails or software-configurable output voltages and margins |
Compared with TC1303A-PI0EMFTR and TPS65023RSBR, the TC1303B-PI0EMFTR uniquely balances minimal external components (no PG pull-up, 1 µF LDO cap), ultra-low IQ, and LDO-specific power-good assertion - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-sensitive dual-rail systems where auxiliary rail integrity dictates system readiness.

FAQ
What is the power-good (PG) behavior of the TC1303B-PI0EMFTR?
The TC1303B-PI0EMFTR features a push-pull PG output that asserts high only when the LDO output (VOUT2) reaches and maintains ≥94% of its nominal voltage. It includes a 300 ms delay before assertion and a 262 ms timeout if regulation is lost. This behavior is explicitly defined for TC1303B in DS21949C-page 7 and page 9, distinguishing it from TC1303A (buck-monitored, open-drain PG) and TC1303C/TC1304 (dual-monitored PG). The TC1303B-PI0EMFTR does not monitor the buck output for PG.
Can the TC1303B-PI0EMFTR support adjustable buck output voltage?
Yes, the TC1303B-PI0EMFTR supports adjustable buck output from 0.8 V to 4.5 V via external resistor divider connected to the VFB1/VOUT1 pin. Its feedback reference voltage is tightly specified at 0.8 V ±2.5%, with ±0.3% output tolerance over temperature and line/load conditions. Fixed-output versions (e.g., 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 3.3 V) are also available; the TC1303B-PI0EMFTR is a fixed-output variant - its VOUT1 is factory-set and does not require external resistors.
What is the minimum output capacitor required for the LDO (VOUT2) of the TC1303B-PI0EMFTR?
The TC1303B-PI0EMFTR requires a minimum 1 µF ceramic capacitor on VOUT2 to ensure stability and transient response, as confirmed in DS21949C-page 5 (typical application circuits) and page 8 (DC characteristics). This value applies across all standard fixed-output voltages (1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V). Larger values (e.g., 4.7 µF) improve load-step response but are not mandatory. The LDO is internally compensated - no additional ESR or series resistance is needed.
How does shutdown work on the TC1303B-PI0EMFTR?
The TC1303B-PI0EMFTR provides independent shutdown control: SHDN1 disables the buck regulator, and SHDN2 disables the LDO. Both are active-high inputs requiring >45% of VIN to enable; logic-low (<15% VIN) forces the respective output into high-impedance state. When both are low, total device quiescent current drops to 0.05 µA typical. This separation enables flexible power sequencing - for example, keeping the buck active for real-time clock while disabling the LDO during deep sleep - a capability verified in DS21949C-page 7 and page 19.
Is the TC1303B-PI0EMFTR RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the TC1303B-PI0EMFTR is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, consistent with Microchip's standard environmental compliance for surface-mount packages introduced post-2006. This is confirmed by Microchip's official product change notices (PCNs) and material declarations for the TC1303 family, which specify lead-free matte tin plating and halogen-free molding compounds for DFN packages like PI0EMFTR. No exemptions apply.
