Product details
Overview
TC1303B-ZI0EUN 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 of the LDO output. It delivers 1.8V/500 mA and 3.3V/300 mA outputs, features 2.0 MHz fixed-frequency PWM operation, 65 µA typical quiescent current, and operates across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature - used in portable medical instruments and USB-powered devices requiring tightly regulated dual-rail supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TC1303B-ZI0EUN datasheet, TC1303B-ZI0EUN pinout, TC1303B-ZI0EUN application, or TC1303B-ZI0EUN equivalent, key selection criteria include LDO-specific PG monitoring, independent shutdown control per rail, 137 mV typical dropout at 200 mA, internal compensation, and compatibility with 1 µF ceramic output capacitors for minimal board area.
Technical Context
The TC1303B-ZI0EUN implements a synchronous buck stage with PFM/PWM auto-transition for light/heavy load efficiency optimization, and a separate LDO stage with push-pull power-good output tied exclusively to VOUT2 regulation. Its feedback architecture uses a 0.8 V reference with ±0.3% output voltage tolerance over temperature and line/load variations.
Undervoltage lockout (2.55 V nominal) prevents startup below safe input thresholds, while integrated thermal shutdown (165°C) and overcurrent protection safeguard both regulators. The device supports sequenced enable via independent SHDN1/SHDN2 inputs and requires no external compensation components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Buck Output Current | 500 mA maximum - supports processor core rails with stable transient response under full load |
| LDO Output Current | 300 mA maximum - powers auxiliary logic, I/O, or sensors without external pass elements |
| Quiescent Current | 65 µA typical - enables >10-year battery life in always-on portable applications |
| PG Monitoring Target | LDO output only - asserts high when VOUT2 reaches 94% of nominal, with 300 ms delay for reset timing |
| Dropout Voltage (LDO) | 137 mV typical @ 200 mA - allows operation with <2.7 V input for 2.5 V output, minimizing headroom loss |
| Switching Frequency | 2.0 MHz fixed - permits use of compact 4.7 µH inductors and reduces EMI filtering burden |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and automotive cabin-adjacent environments |
Pinout & Package
TC1303B-ZI0EUN is housed in a 10-pin 3×3 mm DFN package with exposed thermal pad (EP), pin-compatible with MSOP-10. The DFN variant offers 41°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on a 4-layer PCB with ground plane and thermal vias.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SHDN2 | LDO shutdown control | Active-high logic input (>45% VIN); enables/disables LDO independently of buck stage |
| VIN2 | LDO input supply | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V input; must be routed adjacent to VIN1 to minimize noise coupling |
| VOUT2 | LDO regulated output | Delivers fixed 3.3 V (per ZI0EUN suffix); requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to AGND |
| PG | Power-good indicator | Push-pull output asserting high when VOUT2 is within 94–96% of target; 300 ms delay built-in |
| AGND | Analog ground reference | Separate ground return for feedback and sensing; must connect to quiet analog ground plane |
| VFB1/VOUT1 | Buck feedback or output | Configured as VOUT1 for fixed-output variants; connects directly to buck output node |
| PGND | Power ground return | High-current return path for buck switch; isolated from AGND except at single-point star ground |
| LX | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - requires short, wide trace routing |
| VIN1 | Buck input supply | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V; shared with VIN2 in most designs to simplify input filtering |
| SHDN1 | Buck shutdown control | Active-high logic input (>45% VIN); enables/disables buck stage independently of LDO |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent shutdown control | SHDN1 and SHDN2 allow staggered power-up/down sequencing between buck and LDO rails |
| Internal compensation | Eliminates need for external compensation network - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity |
| Low-noise LDO output | 1.8 µV/√Hz output noise and 62 dB PSRR at ≤100 Hz support noise-sensitive analog circuitry |
| Auto PFM/PWM mode transition | Seamlessly shifts from PWM (heavy load) to PFM (light load) without external control or instability |
| Robust protection suite | Includes UVLO (2.55 V), thermal shutdown (165°C), and short-circuit current limiting on both outputs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output regulator 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 and monitoring circuit | Suitable only when LDO rail is omitted or implemented separately; lacks LDO-specific PG assertion | Select when higher buck current (600 mA) is required and system-level power sequencing is handled externally |
| TPS65023RGZR | Triple-output (2 buck + 1 LDO); 2.25 MHz switching; PG monitors buck1 only; different pinout and enable logic | Used in OMAP-based handhelds; not drop-in due to different PG behavior and lack of LDO-specific monitoring | Choose when three regulated rails are needed and LDO PG is not mandatory - verify sequencing compatibility |
Compared with MCP16311-H/MS and TPS65023RGZR, TC1303B-ZI0EUN uniquely provides LDO-targeted power-good signaling, independent shutdown per rail, and internal compensation - making it optimal for space-constrained dual-rail systems where LDO stability confirmation is critical to system boot integrity.

FAQ
What output voltages does the TC1303B-ZI0EUN provide?
The TC1303B-ZI0EUN delivers a fixed 1.8 V buck output (VOUT1) and a fixed 3.3 V LDO output (VOUT2), as indicated by the "ZI0EUN" part number suffix per Microchip's ordering guide. Both outputs are factory-trimmed to ±0.3% tolerance across temperature and load, and require no external resistive feedback network. The LDO output is monitored by the power-good (PG) signal, which asserts high only when VOUT2 reaches 94% of its nominal value.
How does the power-good (PG) function work on the TC1303B-ZI0EUN?
The TC1303B-ZI0EUN features a push-pull PG output that monitors only the LDO output (VOUT2), distinguishing it from TC1303A (buck-only monitoring) and TC1303C (dual monitoring). PG asserts high when VOUT2 reaches 94% of its target voltage, with built-in 300 ms delay to ensure stable regulation before enabling downstream circuitry. The PG threshold exhibits ±2% hysteresis and 30 ppm/°C tempco, ensuring reliable reset timing across –40°C to +125°C.
Can the TC1303B-ZI0EUN operate from a single 3.3 V input source?
Yes - the TC1303B-ZI0EUN supports input voltages from 2.7 V to 5.5 V on both VIN1 and VIN2, and the datasheet explicitly states VIN1 and VIN2 should be connected together with short board traces. With a 3.3 V input, the 1.8 V buck output operates efficiently (≥85% typical), and the 3.3 V LDO output functions in dropout mode (0 V differential), maintaining regulation as long as input remains ≥3.3 V. Undervoltage lockout activates below 2.55 V.
What is the thermal performance of the TC1303B-ZI0EUN in its DFN package?
The TC1303B-ZI0EUN in the 10-pin 3×3 mm DFN package has 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. At full 500 mA buck + 300 mA LDO load with 3.6 V input, power dissipation remains below 0.5 W, resulting in <25°C junction rise above ambient - well within the +125°C max rating. Thermal shutdown activates at 165°C with 10°C hysteresis.
Does the TC1303B-ZI0EUN require external compensation components?
No - the TC1303B-ZI0EUN integrates full compensation for both the buck and LDO regulators, eliminating the need for external RC networks or type-II/III compensators. This is confirmed in the Features section of DS21949C and validated by the typical application circuits, which show no compensation components. Designers only need input/output capacitors (4.7 µF input, 4.7 µF buck output, 1 µF LDO output) and a 4.7 µH inductor for complete implementation.
