Product details
Overview
TC1303B-SD0EMF 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 on the LDO output. It delivers 1.8V at 500 mA (buck) and 3.3V at 300 mA (LDO), features 2.0 MHz fixed-frequency PWM operation, 65 µA typical quiescent current, and operates across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. It is designed for portable USB-powered devices requiring sequenced, low-noise dual-rail supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TC1303B-SD0EMF datasheet, TC1303B-SD0EMF pinout, TC1303B-SD0EMF application, or TC1303B-SD0EMF equivalent, key selection criteria include LDO-monitored PG functionality, independent SHDN1/SHDN2 control, 137 mV typical dropout at 200 mA, DFN-10 package thermal resistance (41°C/W), and compatibility with ceramic output capacitors as small as 1 µF for the LDO.
Technical Context
The TC1303B-SD0EMF implements a synchronous buck stage with PFM/PWM auto-transition and internal compensation, paired with an independently controlled LDO featuring push-pull power-good output referenced solely to VOUT2. Its UVLO threshold is 2.55 V (typical) with 200 mV hysteresis, and thermal shutdown activates at 165°C with 10°C hysteresis.
Unlike TC1303A (PG monitors buck) or TC1303C/TC1304 (PG monitors both rails), the TC1303B variant exclusively ties PG assertion to LDO regulation - enabling precise reset timing for peripherals powered by VOUT2. The device supports adjustable (0.8–4.5 V) or fixed buck outputs and standard LDO voltages (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V), with this specific part configured for 1.8 V buck and 3.3 V LDO.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Buck Output | 1.8 V @ 500 mA, fixed; enables core voltage supply for low-power processors |
| LDO Output | 3.3 V @ 300 mA, fixed; powers I/O, USB PHY, or sensors with low noise |
| Power-Good Logic | Push-pull PG tied to VOUT2; asserts when LDO reaches 94% of 3.3 V (3.102 V) |
| Quiescent Current | 65 µA typical total IQ; minimizes battery drain in standby mode |
| Dropout Voltage | 137 mV typical @ 200 mA on LDO; allows operation down to VIN2 = 3.437 V |
| Switching Frequency | 2.0 MHz fixed (buck); enables use of compact 4.7 µH inductor and 4.7 µF output cap |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C junction; qualified for industrial and extended-temperature portable designs |
Pinout & Package
TC1303B-SD0EMF is housed in a 3×3 mm, 10-pin DFN package with exposed thermal pad (EP) connected to AGND. The package provides θJA = 41°C/W on a 4-layer board with internal ground plane and two vias under the EP.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SHDN2) | LDO shutdown input | Active-high logic; >45% VIN enables LDO; <15% VIN disables it |
| 2 (VIN2) | LDO input supply | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V; must be short-traced to VIN1 to minimize noise coupling |
| 3 (VOUT2) | LDO regulated output | 3.3 V source; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to AGND for stability |
| 4 (PG) | Power-good output | Push-pull, active-high; indicates VOUT2 ≥ 3.102 V with 300 ms delay |
| 5 (AGND) | Analog ground reference | Separate ground node for feedback and regulation circuitry; tie to analog ground plane |
| 6 (PGND) | Power ground return | High-current return path for buck switch; connect to power ground near LX |
| 7 (LX) | Buck switch node | Connects to external inductor; carries high di/dt; requires tight layout to PGND |
| 8 (VIN1) | Buck input supply | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V; shared with VIN2 in most applications |
| 9 (SHDN1) | Buck shutdown input | Active-high logic; independent control of buck stage; same voltage thresholds as SHDN2 |
| 10 (VFB1/VOUT1) | Buck feedback/sense | Fixed 1.8 V output: connect directly to VOUT1; no divider needed |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent shutdown control | SHDN1 and SHDN2 allow staggered enable/disable of buck and LDO for sequencing or fault isolation |
| LDO-monitored power-good | PG asserts only after VOUT2 stabilizes - critical for resetting peripherals powered by 3.3 V rail |
| Low-noise buck architecture | 2.0 MHz switching + automatic PWM-to-PFM transition reduces EMI and extends battery life at light loads |
| Internally compensated regulators | Eliminates need for external compensation components - reduces BOM count and layout complexity |
| Robust protection suite | Includes UVLO, overtemperature shutdown (165°C), and short-circuit protection on both outputs |
Applications
| USB-Powered Portable Instrument | Handheld Medical Sensor Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP16321-3302H/DC | Single 3.3 V buck-only regulator; no integrated LDO or PG monitoring | Requires external LDO and reset supervisor for dual-rail systems | Choose only if LDO rail is unnecessary or already provided externally |
| TPS65023BRSBR | Triple-output PMIC (2 buck + 1 LDO); 2.25 MHz switching; PG monitors buck1 only | Higher integration but lacks LDO-monitored PG; larger 4×4 QFN package | Prefer when system needs three rails and can accept buck-referenced reset timing |
Compared with MCP16321-3302H/DC and TPS65023BRSBR, TC1303B-SD0EMF uniquely combines LDO-monitored PG, independent shutdown, and DFN-10 footprint - making it optimal for space-constrained, dual-rail USB devices where LDO stability dictates system readiness.

FAQ
What output voltages does the TC1303B-SD0EMF provide?
The TC1303B-SD0EMF provides a fixed 1.8 V output from its synchronous buck regulator (VOUT1) and a fixed 3.3 V output from its low-dropout linear regulator (VOUT2). These values are factory-configured and do not require external feedback resistors. The part number suffix "SD0EMF" explicitly denotes this 1.8 V / 3.3 V combination in the DFN-10 package.
How does the power-good (PG) function work on the TC1303B-SD0EMF?
The TC1303B-SD0EMF features a push-pull PG output that monitors only the LDO output (VOUT2). It asserts high when VOUT2 reaches ≥94% of its nominal value (≥3.102 V for 3.3 V), with a built-in 300 ms delay to ensure stable regulation before signaling system readiness. This differs from TC1303A (PG monitors buck) and TC1303C/TC1304 (PG monitors both rails).
Can the TC1303B-SD0EMF operate from a single 3.6 V Li-ion battery?
Yes, the TC1303B-SD0EMF supports input voltages from 2.7 V to 5.5 V on both VIN1 and VIN2. With a nominal 3.6 V Li-ion battery, it delivers 1.8 V @ 500 mA and 3.3 V @ 300 mA efficiently. Its 137 mV typical LDO dropout ensures VOUT2 remains regulated down to VIN2 = 3.437 V, covering most of the battery discharge curve.
What is the thermal performance of the TC1303B-SD0EMF in its DFN package?
The TC1303B-SD0EMF in the 3×3 mm DFN package achieves a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 41°C/W on a 4-layer PCB with internal ground plane and two thermal vias under the exposed pad. This enables full 500 mA buck + 300 mA LDO load capability at +85°C ambient, with thermal shutdown activating at 165°C junction temperature.
Does the TC1303B-SD0EMF require external compensation components?
No, the TC1303B-SD0EMF uses internally compensated control loops for both the buck regulator and LDO. This eliminates the need for external compensation capacitors or resistors, reducing bill-of-materials cost and PCB area - a key advantage over many competing dual-output regulators that require careful loop compensation design.
