Product details
Overview
TC1303B-ZS0EUN 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 focused on the LDO output. It delivers 1.8 V at 500 mA (VOUT1) and 3.3 V at 300 mA (VOUT2), operates from 2.7–5.5 V input, features 65 µA typical quiescent current, and supports -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-ZS0EUN datasheet, TC1303B-ZS0EUN pinout, TC1303B-ZS0EUN application, or TC1303B-ZS0EUN equivalent, key selection criteria include its LDO-monitored push-pull PG output, independent SHDN2 control for the LDO, 137 mV typical dropout at 200 mA, 2.0 MHz fixed-frequency PWM operation, and compatibility with 1 µF ceramic output capacitors on VOUT2.
Technical Context
The TC1303B-ZS0EUN implements a synchronous buck stage with PFM/PWM auto-transition and internal compensation, delivering up to 500 mA with ≤280 mV dropout at 3.3 V output. Its LDO stage provides 300 mA with 137 mV typical dropout voltage and ±0.3% output tolerance over temperature.
Power-good logic monitors only the LDO output (VOUT2) with 94% threshold high, 89% threshold low, and 300 ms active timeout - configured as a push-pull output per datasheet Note 2. Shutdown is independently controlled: SHDN1 disables the buck regulator; SHDN2 disables the LDO.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V) and USB 5 V rails without external pre-regulation. |
| Buck Output (VOUT1) | 1.8 V fixed @ 500 mA - optimized for processor core supply with 0.5 ms startup time and 2.0 MHz switching frequency. |
| LDO Output (VOUT2) | 3.3 V fixed @ 300 mA - requires only 1 µF ceramic output capacitor; 137 mV dropout enables operation down to 3.437 V input. |
| Quiescent Current | 65 µA typical - enables >1-year battery life in always-on portable medical sensors with both outputs active. |
| Power-Good Output | Push-pull PG monitoring VOUT2 only - asserts high when VOUT2 ≥ 94% of 3.3 V (≥3.102 V); 300 ms timeout prevents false resets during transient load steps. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C junction - qualified for industrial and automotive cabin-temperature embedded applications. |
| Protection Features | UVLO (2.55 V nominal), overtemperature shutdown (165°C), short-circuit current limiting (240 mA avg on LDO), and internal MOSFET overcurrent protection. |
Pinout & Package
TC1303B-ZS0EUN is housed in a 10-pin 3×3 mm DFN package with exposed thermal pad (EP) connected to AGND. Pin assignments are validated per DS21949C-page 3 and page 19: SHDN2 (Pin 1), VIN2 (Pin 2), VOUT2 (Pin 3), PG (Pin 4), AGND (Pin 5), PGND (Pin 6), LX (Pin 7), VIN1 (Pin 8), SHDN1 (Pin 9), VFB1/VOUT1 (Pin 10).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SHDN2 (Pin 1) | LDO enable control | Active-high logic input (>45% VIN); enables/disables 300 mA LDO independently of buck stage. |
| VIN2 (Pin 2) | LDO input supply | Accepts same input as VIN1 (2.7–5.5 V); must be routed with minimal trace length to VIN1 for noise coupling control. |
| VOUT2 (Pin 3) | LDO regulated output | Delivers 3.3 V ±0.3%; requires ≥1 µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor to AGND for stability and transient response. |
| PG (Pin 4) | Power-good status | Push-pull output indicating VOUT2 regulation; sinks 1.2 mA or sources 300–500 µA depending on VOUT2 level. |
| AGND (Pin 5) | Analog ground reference | Must connect to clean analog ground plane; separate from PGND except at single-point star connection under EP. |
| PGND (Pin 6) | Power ground return | High-current return path for buck switch node (LX); requires low-inductance connection to input/output capacitors. |
| LX (Pin 7) | Buck switch node | Connects to external 4.7 µH inductor; carries pulsed current up to 700 mA peak; sensitive to layout parasitics. |
| VIN1 (Pin 8) | Buck input supply | Primary input for 500 mA buck stage; shares source with VIN2 but requires local 4.7 µF ceramic decoupling. |
| SHDN1 (Pin 9) | Buck enable control | Active-high logic input (>45% VIN); enables/disables buck regulator independently of LDO. |
| VFB1/VOUT1 (Pin 10) | Buck feedback/output | Fixed 1.8 V output pin; no external divider needed; connects directly to load and output capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent shutdown control | SHDN1 and SHDN2 allow staged power sequencing: LDO can remain active while buck is disabled for low-power sleep modes. |
| LDO-monitored push-pull PG | Eliminates need for external pull-up resistor; enables direct connection to microcontroller reset pin without level-shifting. |
| Internally compensated buck | Reduces BOM count by removing external compensation network; supports stable operation with standard 4.7 µH inductor and 4.7 µF output capacitor. |
| Low-LDO dropout voltage | 137 mV @ 200 mA allows 3.3 V output from 3.437 V input - critical for extending runtime in single-cell Li-ion systems near end-of-discharge. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 65 µA total device IQ enables >10-year shelf life in battery-backed medical diagnostics with both regulators enabled. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TC1303C-ZS0EUN | Monitors both buck and LDO outputs for PG assertion; open-drain PG output instead of push-pull. | Suitable when system-level reset must depend on stability of both rails - e.g., SoC with separate core/I/O domains. | Select TC1303C-ZS0EUN if dual-rail PG monitoring is required; note external pull-up needed for open-drain PG. |
| MCP1826-3302E/DB | Single 3.3 V LDO only (300 mA), no buck stage or integrated PG; requires external buck converter and reset supervisor. | Applicable only when buck regulation is handled separately - increases BOM count and layout complexity. | Choose MCP1826-3302E/DB only if existing design already includes a discrete buck regulator and needs LDO replacement only. |
Compared with TC1303C-ZS0EUN, TC1303B-ZS0EUN offers simpler reset integration via push-pull PG tied solely to the LDO rail, reducing component count; versus MCP1826-3302E/DB, it eliminates the need for an external buck stage and discrete supervisor, cutting solution size by >40%.

FAQ
What is the power-good (PG) behavior of TC1303B-ZS0EUN?
The TC1303B-ZS0EUN features a push-pull PG output that monitors only the LDO output (VOUT2). It asserts high when VOUT2 reaches ≥94% of its nominal value (e.g., ≥3.102 V for 3.3 V output) and holds active for ≥300 ms after crossing the threshold. The PG pin drives high to VOUT2 level (0.9×VOUT2 minimum) and sinks to ≤0.2 V when low - eliminating need for external pull-up resistors in most microcontroller reset circuits.
Can TC1303B-ZS0EUN operate with a single 3.6 V Li-ion battery?
Yes, TC1303B-ZS0EUN operates across 2.7 V to 5.5 V input, making it fully compatible with single-cell Li-ion batteries (2.7–4.2 V). At 3.6 V input, it delivers 1.8 V @ 500 mA from the buck stage and 3.3 V @ 300 mA from the LDO with 137 mV dropout - ensuring stable 3.3 V output down to 3.437 V input, extending usable battery capacity.
How does TC1303B-ZS0EUN manage efficiency at light loads?
The TC1303B-ZS0EUN automatically transitions from fixed-frequency PWM to pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) mode when buck load drops below ~50 mA. This reduces switching losses and maintains >85% efficiency at 1 mA load, while keeping total device quiescent current at 65 µA typical - critical for battery longevity in always-on sensor nodes.
What capacitor values are required for stable operation of TC1303B-ZS0EUN?
TC1303B-ZS0EUN requires a 4.7 µF ceramic input capacitor on VIN1/VIN2, a 4.7 µH shielded inductor with 4.7 µF ceramic output capacitor on VOUT1, and a minimum 1 µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor on VOUT2. All capacitors must be placed within 3 mm of respective pins; the DFN's exposed pad must be soldered to AGND for thermal and electrical integrity.
Is TC1303B-ZS0EUN pin-compatible with other TC1303 variants?
Yes, TC1303B-ZS0EUN shares identical 10-pin DFN/MSOP pinout and footprint with TC1303A, TC1303C, and TC1304 variants. However, functional differences exist: TC1303B uses push-pull PG monitoring VOUT2 only, while TC1303A monitors VOUT1 and TC1303C monitors both outputs - requiring firmware or schematic review before substitution.
