Product details
Overview
TC1303B-SE0EMFTR 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 94% typical regulation accuracy, 137 mV 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 core and I/O rails, such as USB-powered medical instruments.
For engineers reviewing the TC1303B-SE0EMFTR datasheet, TC1303B-SE0EMFTR pinout, TC1303B-SE0EMFTR application, or TC1303B-SE0EMFTR equivalent, key selection criteria include its LDO-monitored PG function, independent SHDN2 control, 2.0 MHz fixed-frequency PWM operation, 65 µA total quiescent current, and compatibility with 1 µF ceramic output capacitors on both outputs.
Technical Context
The TC1303B-SE0EMFTR implements a synchronous buck stage with PFM/PWM auto-transition for light/heavy load efficiency optimization, and a fully integrated LDO with internal compensation and 0.8V–4.5V adjustable or standard fixed VOUT1 options. Its PG output is push-pull and asserts when VOUT2 reaches ≥94% of nominal, with 300 ms delay used for processor reset sequencing.
It features independent shutdown inputs (SHDN1 for buck, SHDN2 for LDO), undervoltage lockout (2.55 V typical), thermal shutdown (165°C), and overcurrent protection on both outputs. The device uses separate input pins (VIN1, VIN2) but requires them to be tied together per design guidelines.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
TC1303B-SE0EMFTR is housed in a thermally enhanced 10-pin 3×3 mm DFN package with exposed pad (EP) connected to AGND. Pin numbering follows standard DFN orientation (pin 1 top-left, counterclockwise).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SHDN2 | LDO shutdown control input | Active-high logic (>45% VIN); enables independent LDO disable without affecting buck stage |
| 2 - VIN2 | LDO input supply | Must be tied to VIN1; supplies LDO stage; requires local 1 µF bypass capacitor |
| 3 - VOUT2 | LDO regulated output | 300 mA capable; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to AGND for stability |
| 4 - PG | Power-good status output | Push-pull active-high signal indicating VOUT2 ≥94% regulation; 300 ms delay built-in |
| 5 - AGND | Analog ground reference | Separate ground return for feedback and analog circuitry; must connect to low-noise AGND plane |
| 6 - PGND | Power ground return | High-current return path for buck switch node; must be routed separately from AGND |
| 7 - LX | Buck switch node | Connects to external inductor; carries high di/dt switching current; requires tight loop layout |
| 8 - VIN1 | Buck input supply | Main input (2.7–5.5 V); ties to VIN2; feeds buck regulator and internal bias circuits |
| 9 - SHDN1 | Buck shutdown control input | Active-high logic (>45% VIN); enables independent buck disable while LDO remains active |
| 10 - VFB1/VOUT1 | Buck feedback or output | Configurable: connect to divider midpoint for adjustable VOUT1 (0.8–4.5 V), or directly to VOUT1 for fixed output |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TC1303C-SE0EMFTR | Monitors both buck and LDO outputs for PG assertion; same pinout and package | Required where system reset must wait for both rails to stabilize (e.g., FPGA configuration) | Select when coordinated power-rail validation is mandatory; not drop-in for TC1303B-SE0EMFTR's LDO-only PG behavior |
| TPS62231DRYR | Single-output 600 mA buck only; no integrated LDO or PG; 2.25 MHz switching | Suitable only if LDO rail is generated externally or omitted; lacks PG functionality entirely | Choose only when LDO is unnecessary and system-level PG is implemented separately |
Compared with TC1303C-SE0EMFTR and TPS62231DRYR, TC1303B-SE0EMFTR uniquely delivers LDO-monitored PG in a dual-output, low-quiescent, thermally robust package-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained portable devices where bias-rail integrity drives reset timing.

FAQ
What is the power-good (PG) monitoring behavior of TC1303B-SE0EMFTR?
The TC1303B-SE0EMFTR monitors only the LDO output (VOUT2) for power-good assertion. Its PG pin is a push-pull output that goes high when VOUT2 reaches ≥94% of its nominal voltage, with a built-in 300 ms delay used for processor reset timing. This differs from TC1303A (buck-only monitoring) and TC1303C (dual-rail monitoring), making TC1303B-SE0EMFTR ideal when system reset depends solely on bias rail stability.
Can TC1303B-SE0EMFTR generate adjustable buck output voltages?
Yes, TC1303B-SE0EMFTR supports adjustable VOUT1 from 0.8 V to 4.5 V using an external resistor divider connected to the VFB1/VOUT1 pin. The internal feedback reference is 0.8 V ±2.5%, enabling precise core voltage tuning. Fixed-output variants (e.g., 1.2 V, 1.8 V) are also available, but TC1303B-SE0EMFTR specifically uses the adjustable configuration per its part number suffix.
What is the minimum input voltage required for TC1303B-SE0EMFTR to regulate both outputs?
The minimum input voltage for TC1303B-SE0EMFTR is 2.7 V, but actual minimum depends on output settings: VIN must satisfy VIN ≥ VOUTX + VDROPOUT for both rails. For example, with VOUT1 = 1.8 V (buck) and VOUT2 = 3.3 V (LDO), minimum VIN is max(1.8 V + 0.28 V, 3.3 V + 0.137 V) = 3.437 V. The device includes undervoltage lockout (UVLO) that disables operation below 2.55 V typical.
How does TC1303B-SE0EMFTR manage efficiency across load conditions?
TC1303B-SE0EMFTR automatically transitions between PWM (heavy load) and PFM (light load) modes in its buck stage, maintaining >85% efficiency from 1 mA to 500 mA. At 100 mA load and 3.6 V input, typical efficiency exceeds 90%. The LDO contributes 46 µA quiescent current when active, and combined IQ is 65 µA-enabling multi-day battery life in intermittent-use portable devices.
Is TC1303B-SE0EMFTR pin-compatible with other TC1303 variants?
Yes, TC1303B-SE0EMFTR shares identical 10-pin DFN and MSOP footprints and pin assignments with TC1303A, TC1303C, and TC1304. However, functional differences exist-especially in PG behavior (push-pull vs. open-drain) and shutdown architecture-so firmware and schematic design must align with the specific variant's data sheet. Electrical substitution requires validation of PG timing and shutdown sequencing logic.
