Product details
Overview
TC1303B-VS0EMFTR 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 1.8 V on VOUT1 and 3.3 V on VOUT2, operates from 2.7–5.5 V input, achieves >90% typical efficiency at heavy load, and features 65 µA total quiescent current. It is designed for space-constrained portable electronics requiring tightly regulated dual-rail supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TC1303B-VS0EMFTR datasheet, TC1303B-VS0EMFTR pinout, TC1303B-VS0EMFTR application, or TC1303B-VS0EMFTR equivalent, key selection criteria include LDO-monitored PG behavior, independent shutdown control (SHDN1/SHDN2), 2.0 MHz fixed-frequency PWM operation with automatic PFM transition, 137 mV typical dropout at 200 mA on VOUT2, and compatibility with 1 µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The TC1303B-VS0EMFTR implements a synchronous buck topology with integrated high- and low-side MOSFETs (RDS(on) = 450 mΩ each), fixed 2.0 MHz switching frequency under heavy load, and seamless auto-transition to PFM mode at light loads to maintain ultra-low IQ. Its LDO stage uses internal compensation and delivers 300 mA with 137 mV typical dropout voltage at 200 mA.
Power-good logic is configured exclusively for VOUT2 regulation (per TC1303B variant), with push-pull output, 94% VOUT2 threshold high, 89% threshold low, 2% hysteresis, and a 300 ms active timeout period - optimized for processor reset timing in battery-powered systems.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP16311-H/MS | Single 600 mA buck only; no integrated LDO or PG; requires external LDO for second rail | Lacks LDO-monitored PG and dual-rail integration; needs extra components for 3.3 V rail | Select when only buck regulation is required and board space permits discrete LDO + PG circuit |
| TPS65136RSAT | 300 mA buck + 300 mA LDO; PG monitors buck output only; 1.2 MHz switching; higher IQ (120 µA) | PG behavior mismatch (buck-monitored vs. TC1303B's LDO-monitored); less efficient at light loads | Select only if buck-rail monitoring aligns with system reset architecture and higher IQ is acceptable |

FAQ
What output voltages does the TC1303B-VS0EMFTR deliver?
The TC1303B-VS0EMFTR delivers a fixed 1.8 V output on VOUT1 (buck regulator) and a fixed 3.3 V output on VOUT2 (LDO). These values are factory-set per the "VS0" suffix designation and require no external feedback resistors. The buck output supports adjustable configurations in other variants, but TC1303B-VS0EMFTR is strictly fixed 1.8 V / 3.3 V.
How does the power-good (PG) function work on the TC1303B-VS0EMFTR?
The TC1303B-VS0EMFTR configures its PG pin as a push-pull output that monitors only the LDO output (VOUT2). It asserts high when VOUT2 reaches ≥94% of 3.3 V and deasserts when VOUT2 falls below 89% of 3.3 V, with built-in 300 ms timeout to hold reset during transient dips - a behavior specific to the TC1303B variant.
Can the TC1303B-VS0EMFTR operate from a single 3.7 V Li-ion battery?
Yes. The TC1303B-VS0EMFTR supports input voltages from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, fully covering the discharge range of a single-cell Li-ion battery (typically 4.2 V down to 3.0 V). Its 137 mV dropout on VOUT2 ensures stable 3.3 V output even at end-of-discharge (3.0 V input), and UVLO prevents malfunction below 2.55 V.
What is the thermal performance of the TC1303B-VS0EMFTR in its DFN package?
In a standard 4-layer PCB with internal ground plane and two vias under the exposed pad, the TC1303B-VS0EMFTR exhibits a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 41°C/W. With maximum power dissipation limited by thermal shutdown at 165°C, this enables continuous 500 mA buck + 300 mA LDO operation at ambient temperatures up to +85°C under typical layout conditions.
Does the TC1303B-VS0EMFTR require external compensation components?
No. Both the buck regulator and LDO stages of the TC1303B-VS0EMFTR are internally compensated. The design requires only a 4.7 µH power inductor and 4.7 µF input capacitor for the buck stage, and a single 1 µF ceramic capacitor on VOUT2 - eliminating loop compensation design effort and improving design robustness.
