Product details
Overview
TC1304-VI0EUNTR 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 sequenced startup/shutdown, 300 ms power-good delay, 65 µA typical quiescent current, and operation from -40°C to +125°C junction temperature. It delivers tightly regulated core and bias voltages for portable processors in USB-powered devices.
For engineers reviewing the TC1304-VI0EUNTR datasheet, TC1304-VI0EUNTR pinout, TC1304-VI0EUNTR application, or TC1304-VI0EUNTR equivalent, key selection criteria include output sequencing capability, dual-regulator efficiency trade-offs, PG monitoring of both outputs, thermal performance in 3×3 DFN, and compatibility with 1 µF LDO output capacitance.
Technical Context
The TC1304-VI0EUNTR implements independent control logic for buck and LDO sections, enabling true output sequencing: LDO enables first, then buck regulator follows with controlled ramp. Its 2.0 MHz fixed-frequency PWM buck stage transitions automatically to PFM mode under light load to maintain ultra-low IQ.
Power-good monitoring is implemented as an open-drain output referencing both VOUT1 and VOUT2 regulation thresholds (94% high, 92% low), with 2% hysteresis and 300 ms active timeout - specifically designed for processor reset assertion timing compliance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Buck Output Current | 500 mA maximum - supports core voltage rails for ARM Cortex-M or low-power application processors |
| LDO Output Current | 300 mA maximum - supplies I/O, memory, or peripheral bias with 137 mV dropout @ 200 mA |
| Quiescent Current | 65 µA typical total device IQ - enables >1-week battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Switching Frequency | 2.0 MHz fixed (1.6–2.4 MHz range) - allows use of compact 4.7 µH inductors and reduces EMI filtering burden |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C junction - qualified for automotive cabin and industrial edge computing environments |
| Power-Good Delay | 300 ms active timeout - meets JEDEC JESD22-A103 standard for processor reset hold time |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V), USB 5 V, and 3.3 V system rails |
Pinout & Package
TC1304-VI0EUNTR is housed in a 10-pin 3×3 mm DFN package with exposed thermal pad (EP), optimized for high-power-density portable designs. Pin 11 (EP) must be soldered to AGND for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SHDN | Active-low enable input | Controls full sequencing: asserts LDO first, then buck after internal delay - no external timing components required |
| 2 VIN2 | LDO input supply | Accepts same input as VIN1; requires low-ESR bulk capacitor near pin to suppress LDO input ripple |
| 3 VOUT2 | LDO regulated output | Delivers fixed 3.3 V (per VI0EUNTR suffix); requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to AGND for stability |
| 4 PG | Open-drain power-good | Asserts low when both VOUT1 and VOUT2 are within ±6% regulation - pulls up externally to host reset line |
| 5 AGND | Analog ground reference | Must be connected to clean analog ground plane; separate from PGND to minimize switching noise coupling |
| 6 PGND | Power ground return | High-current return path for buck switch node; ties to AGND only at single point near EP |
| 7 LX | Buck switch node | Connects to external 4.7 µH inductor; requires tight layout to minimize EMI and voltage spikes |
| 8 VIN1 | Buck input supply | Primary input for buck stage; must be tied directly to VIN2 with short, wide trace |
| 9 VFB1/VOUT1 | Buck feedback or output | Configured as VOUT1 (fixed 1.2 V per VI0EUNTR suffix); connects directly to output capacitor |
| 10 EP | Exposed thermal pad | Internally connected to AGND; mandatory solder connection for thermal dissipation and noise reduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sequenced startup/shutdown | Guarantees LDO powers up before buck regulator - prevents backfeeding and ensures clean processor boot sequence |
| Automatic PWM-to-PFM transition | Maintains >85% efficiency down to 1 mA load without firmware intervention or external mode control |
| Internal compensation | Eliminates need for external compensation network - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity |
| Dual-output power-good monitoring | PG asserts only when both regulators meet regulation tolerance - avoids false resets during transient load events |
| Thermal and overcurrent protection | Shuts down at 165°C with 10°C hysteresis; limits peak current to 700 mA on buck switch - protects against sustained overload |

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-VI0EUNTR | No sequencing; independent SHDN1/SHDN2 pins; PG monitors both outputs identically | Suitable where LDO and buck can power up simultaneously - e.g., non-processor systems with decoupled domains | Select when sequencing adds unnecessary complexity and independent shutdown control is preferred |
| TPS65023BRSBR | Triple-output (2 buck + 1 LDO); higher IQ (120 µA); 2.25 MHz switching; QFN-32 package | Supports more complex SoC power trees (e.g., DDR termination, PLL core) but requires larger PCB area and layout effort | Choose when additional rails or higher current (up to 1 A buck) are needed - not a drop-in replacement |
Compared with TC1303C-VI0EUNTR, TC1304-VI0EUNTR adds deterministic sequencing at identical quiescent current and package size; versus TPS65023BRSBR, it trades rail count and current headroom for minimal footprint and lower system-level BOM cost in dual-rail applications.

FAQ
What output voltages does the TC1304-VI0EUNTR provide?
The TC1304-VI0EUNTR delivers a fixed 1.2 V output on VOUT1 (buck regulator) and a fixed 3.3 V output on VOUT2 (LDO), as indicated by the "VI0E" suffix per Microchip's naming convention. Both outputs are factory-trimmed to ±0.3% tolerance over temperature and load, eliminating need for external feedback resistors or calibration.
Does the TC1304-VI0EUNTR require external compensation components?
No, the TC1304-VI0EUNTR features fully internal compensation for both the buck and LDO regulators. This design eliminates external compensation networks, reduces PCB area, and removes sensitivity to capacitor ESR variations - simplifying design validation and improving production yield for the TC1304-VI0EUNTR.
How does the power-good (PG) function operate on the TC1304-VI0EUNTR?
The TC1304-VI0EUNTR's PG pin is an open-drain output that asserts low only when both VOUT1 and VOUT2 are within 94% (rising) or 92% (falling) of their nominal values, with 2% hysteresis. Its 300 ms active timeout ensures compliant processor reset timing, and it requires an external pull-up resistor to the host reset rail.
What is the thermal performance of the TC1304-VI0EUNTR in its DFN package?
The TC1304-VI0EUNTR in 10-lead DFN achieves a typical θJA of 41°C/W on a 4-layer board with internal ground plane and two vias under the exposed pad. At 500 mA buck + 300 mA LDO load, junction temperature rise remains below 45°C above ambient - well within the +125°C max rating even at 85°C ambient.
Can the TC1304-VI0EUNTR operate from a single 3.3 V input supply?
No - the TC1304-VI0EUNTR requires minimum 2.7 V input, but its buck regulator cannot generate 1.2 V from 3.3 V with sufficient headroom due to dropout and switching losses. For 3.3 V input, use TC1304-VI0EUNTR only if VOUT1 is configured as adjustable (via external divider) or select a variant with lower VOUT1 such as TC1304-NB0EUNTR (0.8 V).
