Product details
Overview
TC2055-3.0VCTTR from Microchip Technology is a 100 mA, 3.0 V fixed-output CMOS low-dropout (LDO) regulator in a 5-pin SOT-23A package, featuring ±0.4% output voltage accuracy, 90 mV typical dropout at full load, and integrated shutdown control with open-drain ERROR flag for battery monitoring or reset generation - deployed in portable medical instruments and cellular handsets.
For engineers reviewing the TC2055-3.0VCTTR datasheet, TC2055-3.0VCTTR pinout, TC2055-3.0VCTTR application, or TC2055-3.0VCTTR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world application mappings, and confirmed alternative options for battery-powered LDO selection.
Technical Context
The TC2055-3.0VCTTR implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture optimized for ultra-low quiescent current (55 µA typical), enabling extended battery life in always-on portable systems. Its internal error amplifier maintains regulation across 0–100 mA load while rejecting line and load transients via fast response design.
It integrates dual protection mechanisms: thermal shutdown triggers at ~160°C die temperature, and overcurrent limiting activates when output short-circuit current reaches 160–300 mA. The ERROR pin asserts low when VOUT drops >5% below 3.0 V, with 50 mV hysteresis and 2 ms delay from VOUT deviation to ERROR assertion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0 V ±0.4% (±12 mV) at 25°C - ensures stable logic supply for 3.0 V microcontrollers without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 100 mA continuous - supports moderate-power peripherals like Bluetooth modules or sensor interfaces. |
| Dropout Voltage | 90 mV typical at 100 mA - enables operation down to VIN = 3.09 V, critical for single-cell Li-ion or alkaline battery systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 55 µA typical at full load - 20–60× lower than legacy bipolar regulators, directly extending battery runtime. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.05 µA typical - reduces system standby power to nanoampere levels during deep sleep modes. |
| PSRR | 50 dB at ≤100 kHz - suppresses switching noise from DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C junction - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments. |
Pinout & Package
TC2055-3.0VCTTR uses a 5-pin SOT-23A surface-mount package (θJA = 255°C/W), with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin layout follows standard EIAJ SC-74A orientation: PIN 1 (VIN) top-left, PIN 5 (VOUT) bottom-right.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VIN | Unregulated input supply | Accepts 2.7–6.0 V input; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability and transient immunity. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return for input/output capacitors and load; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 - SHDN | Active-high shutdown control | Logic high (>60% VIN) enables regulation; logic low (<15% VIN) disables VOUT and reduces IIN to 0.05 µA. |
| 4 - ERROR | Open-drain out-of-regulation flag | Sinks current when VOUT < 2.85 V (95% of 3.0 V); used as battery-low indicator or processor reset with external pull-up. |
| 5 - VOUT | Regulated 3.0 V output | Delivers up to 100 mA with ±0.4% accuracy; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND for loop stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise CMOS architecture | 600 nV/√Hz output noise at 10 kHz - avoids interference with sensitive analog circuits like ADCs or RF receivers. |
| Fast shutdown wake-up | 60 µs typical VOUT rise time from shutdown - enables rapid system recovery in duty-cycled applications. |
| Thermal and overcurrent protection | Auto-shutdown at ~160°C die temp and current limit ~230 mA - prevents catastrophic failure during fault conditions. |
| Stable with low-ESR ceramics | Works with 1 µF ceramic output capacitor (0.01–5 Ω ESR) - eliminates need for costly tantalum or electrolytic caps. |
| Pin-compatible upgrade path | Direct replacement for legacy bipolar LDOs (e.g., LM2936) - no PCB redesign required for migration. |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Cellular Handset Power Rails |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-3002E/TO | 300 mA output, 1.6 µA quiescent current, no ERROR pin, same SOT-23-5 package | Better suited for higher-current loads but lacks battery-monitoring capability | Select when >100 mA is needed and ERROR functionality is unnecessary |
| TPS76330DBVR | 150 mA output, 80 µA quiescent current, integrated thermal shutdown, same 3.0 V output | Higher IQ and no ERROR flag; requires external circuitry for low-battery detection | Choose when higher output current is prioritized over ultra-low IQ and diagnostic features |
Compared with MCP1700-3002E/TO and TPS76330DBVR, TC2055-3.0VCTTR uniquely balances 100 mA capability, 55 µA IQ, and integrated ERROR flag - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-aware systems needing both efficiency and fault visibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for TC2055-3.0VCTTR?
The absolute maximum input voltage for TC2055-3.0VCTTR is 6.5 V, but the recommended operating range is 2.7 V to 6.0 V. Exceeding 6.5 V risks permanent damage. For reliable 3.0 V regulation, minimum VIN must satisfy both 2.7 V and VR + dropout - so at 100 mA load, VIN must be ≥3.09 V to maintain regulation.
Does TC2055-3.0VCTTR require an external capacitor on the ERROR pin?
TC2055-3.0VCTTR does not require an external capacitor on the ERROR pin for basic out-of-regulation indication. However, when using ERROR as a processor RESET signal, a timing capacitor (C2) with pull-up resistor R1 is needed - per Figure 4-1 - to hold RESET low for ≥200 ms during brownout recovery. C2 value depends on R1 and desired timeout.
Can TC2055-3.0VCTTR operate with a 1 µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes, TC2055-3.0VCTTR is explicitly specified to be stable with a 1 µF ceramic output capacitor having ESR between 0.01 Ω and 5 Ω. This eliminates the need for larger, higher-ESR tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors - reducing board area and cost while improving reliability across temperature.
What is the function of the SHDN pin on TC2055-3.0VCTTR?
The SHDN pin on TC2055-3.0VCTTR is an active-high enable input: logic high (>60% VIN) powers up the regulator, while logic low (<15% VIN) places TC2055-3.0VCTTR into shutdown mode - disabling VOUT, tri-stating ERROR, and reducing supply current to 0.05 µA typical. If unused, SHDN must be tied to VIN.
How does the ERROR pin behave when TC2055-3.0VCTTR enters thermal shutdown?
When TC2055-3.0VCTTR enters thermal shutdown (at ~160°C die temperature), the ERROR pin asserts low - identical to its behavior during input undervoltage or overcurrent events - because VOUT falls out of regulation. The ERROR pin remains low until VOUT recovers above 95% of 3.0 V (2.85 V) plus 50 mV hysteresis (2.90 V).
