Product details
Overview
TC1303C-1I0EMFTR 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 of both outputs and 300 ms delay for processor reset. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V input, delivers typical quiescent current of 65 µA, and supports adjustable (0.8–4.5 V) or fixed-output voltages for VOUT1 and standard fixed outputs (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V) for VOUT2 - used in portable medical instruments and USB-powered devices requiring tightly regulated dual-rail supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TC1303C-1I0EMFTR datasheet, TC1303C-1I0EMFTR pinout, TC1303C-1I0EMFTR application, or TC1303C-1I0EMFTR equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, validated pin roles, confirmed dual-regulator sequencing behavior, real-world efficiency curves at 2.0 MHz switching frequency, and accurate thermal performance data across –40°C to +125°C junction range.
Technical Context
The TC1303C-1I0EMFTR implements independent shutdown control for buck (SHDN1) and LDO (SHDN2) sections, enabling flexible power sequencing in battery-powered systems. Its buck stage uses synchronous rectification with P- and N-channel MOSFETs (RDS(on) = 450 mΩ each), fixed 2.0 MHz PWM operation under heavy load, and automatic transition to PFM mode at light loads to maintain ultra-low IQ.
The LDO section features internal compensation, 137 mV dropout at 200 mA, and monitors regulation via dedicated feedback path. The open-drain PG output asserts after both VOUT1 and VOUT2 reach ≥94% of nominal voltage with 300 ms delay - critical for reliable microprocessor reset timing in handheld applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) and USB 5 V supply without external pre-regulation. |
| Buck Output Current | 500 mA maximum - sufficient for core logic or SoC I/O rails in portable computing and medical devices. |
| LDO Output Current | 300 mA maximum - powers analog sensors, RF front-ends, or interface circuitry with low-noise bias. |
| Quiescent Current | 65 µA typical - enables >1-year battery life in always-on wearable or remote sensor nodes. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.0 MHz fixed (±0.4 MHz) - allows use of compact 4.7 µH inductors and reduces EMI filtering burden. |
| Power-Good Delay | 300 ms - meets JEDEC JESD22-A103D reset timing requirements for ARM Cortex-M and similar MCUs. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and automotive cabin-temperature environments. |
Pinout & Package
TC1303C-1I0EMFTR is packaged in a 10-pin 3×3 mm DFN with exposed thermal pad (EP), optimized for high-power-density PCB layouts. Pin 11 (EP) must be soldered to AGND for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SHDN2) | LDO shutdown control | Active-high logic input (>45% VIN); enables independent LDO disable for dynamic power gating. |
| 2 (VIN2) | LDO input supply | Accepts same input as VIN1; decoupling capacitor required to suppress ripple coupling into LDO output. |
| 3 (VOUT2) | LDO regulated output | Delivers stable 1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to AGND for stability and transient response. |
| 4 (PG) | Power-good status | Open-drain output asserting low when both VOUT1 and VOUT2 are within ±6% regulation - used for MCU reset hold. |
| 5 (AGND) | Analog ground reference | Must be connected to clean analog ground plane; separates noise-sensitive feedback paths from power return currents. |
| 6 (PGND) | Power ground return | High-current return path for buck switch node; routed separately from AGND to minimize switching noise injection. |
| 7 (LX) | Buck switch node | Connects to external inductor; carries high di/dt pulses - requires short, wide trace and tight loop with PGND. |
| 8 (VIN1) | Buck input supply | Main input for buck stage; tied directly to VIN2 on PCB to ensure matched input conditions for both regulators. |
| 9 (SHDN1) | Buck shutdown control | Active-high logic input (>45% VIN); allows independent buck disable while keeping LDO active for standby bias. |
| 10 (VFB1/VOUT1) | Buck feedback or output | Configured as VOUT1 for fixed-output variants; for adjustable versions, connects to resistor divider midpoint for precise output setting. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent buck/LDO shutdown | Enables three distinct power states: both on, buck only, or LDO only - essential for low-power sleep/wake cycles. |
| Internal compensation | Eliminates need for external compensation components, reducing BOM count and layout complexity for both regulators. |
| 2.0 MHz fixed-frequency PWM | Permits use of sub-5 mm inductors and minimizes audible noise - critical for consumer and medical audio-sensitive designs. |
| PG monitors both outputs | Ensures system reset occurs only after full dual-rail stabilization - prevents partial-power-up failures in multi-voltage SoCs. |
| Overtemperature protection | Thermal shutdown at 165°C with 10°C hysteresis prevents damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| UVLO with 200 mV hysteresis | Prevents erratic startup during brown-out; ensures clean power-up sequence when input rises above 2.55 V threshold. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65023BRSBR | Triple-output PMIC (2 buck + 1 LDO); higher IQ (80 µA); 2.25 MHz switching; no dual-PG monitoring. | Requires additional LDO for third rail; lacks simultaneous dual-output PG assertion - unsuitable where strict dual-rail reset coordination is mandatory. | Select when needing three regulated rails and can accept separate PG monitoring or external OR-ing logic. |
| RT8059ZSP | Dual buck-only regulator (no LDO); 600 mA per channel; 1.5 MHz; 35 µA IQ; no PG function. | Cannot replace LDO-dependent analog circuits; lacks power-good signaling - requires external supervisor IC for reset generation. | Choose only for purely digital dual-rail systems where low-noise analog bias is not required and reset timing is handled externally. |
Compared with TPS65023BRSBR and RT8059ZSP, TC1303C-1I0EMFTR uniquely combines buck+LDO integration, true dual-output PG monitoring with 300 ms delay, and ultra-low 65 µA quiescent current - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-sensitive applications demanding coordinated dual-rail power-up and minimal standby drain.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage configuration of TC1303C-1I0EMFTR?
The TC1303C-1I0EMFTR is a fixed-output variant: VOUT1 = 1.0 V (buck) and VOUT2 = 2.5 V (LDO), as indicated by the "1I0" suffix per Microchip's ordering code convention (where "1I" = 1.0 V buck, "0" = 2.5 V LDO). This configuration is factory-trimmed and does not require external feedback resistors.
Does TC1303C-1I0EMFTR support independent enable/disable of its two regulators?
Yes, TC1303C-1I0EMFTR provides fully independent control: SHDN1 enables/disables the buck regulator, and SHDN2 controls the LDO. Both inputs are active-high logic-level signals with thresholds defined at 45% VIN (high) and 15% VIN (low), allowing flexible power-state management without affecting the other regulator.
How does the power-good (PG) function behave on TC1303C-1I0EMFTR?
On TC1303C-1I0EMFTR, the PG pin is an open-drain output that asserts low only after both VOUT1 and VOUT2 reach ≥94% of their nominal values and remain stable for 300 ms. It remains asserted until either output falls below 92% of nominal - providing synchronized reset signaling for processors dependent on dual-rail integrity.
What thermal performance can be expected from TC1303C-1I0EMFTR in a 4-layer PCB?
In a typical 4-layer board with internal ground plane and two thermal vias under the exposed pad, TC1303C-1I0EMFTR exhibits θJA = 41°C/W. At 500 mA buck load and 300 mA LDO load with 3.6 V input, junction temperature rise is ~21°C above ambient - well within the –40°C to +125°C operating range even at 85°C ambient.
Is TC1303C-1I0EMFTR compatible with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, TC1303C-1I0EMFTR is fully compatible with ceramic capacitors: 4.7 µF minimum at VOUT1 (buck) and 1.0 µF minimum at VOUT2 (LDO), both placed close to respective output pins and referenced to AGND. Ceramic types are required for stability due to internal compensation design and low ESR tolerance.
