Product details
Overview
TC1313-RD1EMF 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) in a single 10-pin DFN package. It delivers adjustable (0.8–4.5 V) or fixed (e.g., 1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V) buck output and fixed LDO outputs (1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V), with 2.0 MHz PWM switching, 57 µA total quiescent current, and -40°C to +125°C operating junction temperature - deployed in portable medical instruments and USB-powered devices.
For engineers reviewing the TC1313-RD1EMF datasheet, TC1313-RD1EMF pinout, TC1313-RD1EMF application, or TC1313-RD1EMF equivalent, key selection criteria include independent shutdown control per rail, 137 mV typical LDO dropout at 200 mA, internal compensation eliminating external loop components, UVLO/overtemperature/short-circuit protection, and compatibility with ceramic output capacitors as small as 1 µF for the LDO.
Technical Context
The TC1313-RD1EMF implements a current-mode synchronous buck regulator with automatic PWM-to-PFM mode transition: fixed 2.0 MHz operation under heavy load (>80 mA typical), dropping to ultra-low-quiescent PFM mode (<38 µA) at light loads. Its integrated N- and P-channel MOSFETs feature 450 mΩ typical RDS(on), enabling >90% efficiency at 500 mA output and 100% duty cycle capability for minimal input–output differential.
The companion LDO operates with no external compensation required, achieves ±0.3% output voltage tolerance, delivers 62 dB PSRR at 100 Hz, and maintains stable regulation with only a 1 µF ceramic output capacitor - its 137 mV dropout at 200 mA enables efficient biasing of auxiliary rails from tightly constrained input sources.

Pinout & Package
TC1313-RD1EMF is housed in a thermally enhanced 10-lead 3×3 mm DFN package with exposed pad (EP), optimized for high-power-density DC/DC designs requiring minimal board area and efficient heat dissipation to AGND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SHDN2 (Pin 1) | LDO enable control input | Logic-high (>45% VIN) enables 300 mA LDO; logic-low (<15% VIN) forces full shutdown with near-zero leakage |
| VIN2 (Pin 2) | LDO input supply | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V input; must be routed with minimal trace length to VIN1 to reduce noise coupling |
| VOUT2 (Pin 3) | LDO regulated output | Delivers fixed 1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to AGND for stability and low noise |
| NC (Pin 4) | No-connect terminal | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected and unstubbed on PCB |
| AGND (Pin 5) | Analog reference ground | Separate from PGND; connects to quiet analog ground plane and EP for thermal + noise integrity |
| VFB/VOUT1 (Pin 6) | Buck feedback or output node | For adjustable versions: connect voltage divider midpoint; for fixed versions: direct output connection |
| SHDN1 (Pin 7) | Buck enable control input | Independent logic-level control; allows dynamic power sequencing of core and I/O rails |
| VIN1 (Pin 8) | Buck input supply | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V; shares input source with VIN2 but requires tight layout coupling to minimize EMI |
| LX (Pin 9) | Switch-node connection | High-slew, high-current path to external inductor; demands shortest possible trace and solid return to PGND |
| PGND (Pin 10) | Power ground return | Carries high-frequency buck switching current; must be isolated from AGND except at single-point tie |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internally compensated buck regulator | Eliminates need for external compensation network - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity |
| Automatic PWM-to-PFM mode transition | Seamlessly shifts between high-efficiency 2.0 MHz PWM and ultra-low-IQ PFM without external control |
| 1 µF LDO output capacitor support | Enables compact, low-cost filtering using small-case ceramic capacitors - no tantalum or electrolytic required |
| Independent SHDN1/SHDN2 inputs | Permits flexible power sequencing: e.g., hold LDO active while cycling buck for processor wake/sleep |
| Integrated thermal and short-circuit protection | Self-protecting operation prevents damage during overload or ambient temperature excursions up to +125°C |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65023RGZR | Triple-output PMIC (2 buck + 1 LDO); higher integration but larger 48-pin QFN; 1.2 MHz switching; 85 µA IQ | Targets multi-rail SoC platforms (e.g., OMAP, i.MX); includes I²C programmability and power sequencing logic | Choose when needing >2 rails or digital control; avoid if space-constrained or cost-sensitive - TC1313-RD1EMF offers lower footprint and IQ |

FAQ
What output voltage options does the TC1313-RD1EMF support for its buck and LDO regulators?
The TC1313-RD1EMF buck regulator supports either adjustable output (0.8 V to 4.5 V via external resistor divider) or factory-fixed voltages including 0.8 V, 1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V. The LDO output is fixed only, with standard options of 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V. The specific configuration of TC1313-RD1EMF corresponds to a fixed 1.2 V buck output and 3.3 V LDO output, as indicated by the 'RD1' and 'EMF' suffixes in the part number per Microchip's ordering guide.
How does the TC1313-RD1EMF manage power efficiency across varying load conditions?
The TC1313-RD1EMF uses automatic mode transition: under heavy load (>80 mA), it operates in fixed 2.0 MHz PWM mode for >90% efficiency and low ripple; under light load, it seamlessly shifts to PFM mode, reducing total quiescent current to 57 µA typical. The buck regulator's 100% duty cycle capability further preserves efficiency at low input–output differentials, while the LDO maintains 62 dB PSRR to reject input ripple without increasing IQ.
Can the TC1313-RD1EMF operate with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 4.7 µF?
Yes - the LDO output of the TC1313-RD1EMF is fully stable with only a 1 µF ceramic capacitor, as confirmed in the datasheet's typical application circuits and electrical characteristics. The buck regulator recommends 4.7 µF for optimal transient response and ripple suppression, but the LDO's minimal 1 µF requirement significantly reduces solution size and cost compared to legacy LDOs requiring 10–22 µF tantalum capacitors.
What thermal performance can be expected from the TC1313-RD1EMF in a 4-layer PCB design?
In a typical 4-layer board with internal ground plane and two thermal vias under the exposed pad, the TC1313-RD1EMF (DFN package) exhibits a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 41°C/W. This enables continuous 500 mA buck + 300 mA LDO operation at ambient temperatures up to +85°C without forced airflow, provided input–output differentials remain within recommended limits per the dropout specifications.
Does the TC1313-RD1EMF require external compensation components for stability?
No - both the buck regulator and LDO in the TC1313-RD1EMF are internally compensated. The buck regulator integrates all loop compensation for both adjustable and fixed-output configurations, eliminating external capacitors or resistors. The LDO similarly requires no external components beyond the mandatory 1 µF ceramic output capacitor, simplifying design validation and reducing bill-of-materials count.
