Product details
Overview
TCR2LN08,LF(SE) from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is a CMOS low-dropout linear regulator delivering fixed 0.8 V output at up to 200 mA, featuring ultra-low 2 μA (max) quiescent current, 1000 mV typical dropout at 150 mA, and ±18 mV output voltage accuracy. It integrates on/off control, auto-discharge, and overcurrent protection in the SDFN4 package (0.8 mm × 0.8 mm × 0.38 mm), designed for space-constrained portable power rails such as cellular phone baseband ICs.
For engineers reviewing the TCR2LN08,LF(SE) datasheet, TCR2LN08,LF(SE) pinout, TCR2LN08,LF(SE) application, or TCR2LN08,LF(SE) equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.8 V fixed output, sub-2 μA standby current, compatibility with 0.1 μF ceramic input/output capacitors, and thermal performance under 85°C ambient operation in high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TCR2LN08,LF(SE) employs a CMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low quiescent current while maintaining stable regulation across −40°C to +85°C. Its control input supports active-high enable logic with 1.0–5.5 V ON threshold and 0–0.4 V OFF threshold, and internal pull-down ensures defined state when unconnected.
Dropout voltage scales with output voltage: at 0.8 V output, it reaches 1000 mV (typ.) at 150 mA load, reflecting optimized biasing for ultra-low-VOUT operation. Auto-discharge functionality uses an internal 20 Ω switch between VOUT and GND during shutdown, ensuring rapid output discharge without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 0.8 V ±18 mV - enables direct powering of low-voltage core logic (e.g., ARM Cortex-M0+ I/O domains) |
| Max Output Current | 200 mA - sufficient for RF transceivers, sensor hubs, or MCU peripherals without thermal derating on standard FR4 |
| Quiescent Current | 1.0–2.0 μA (max at Tj = −40 to 85°C) - extends battery life in always-on wearable sensors |
| Dropout Voltage | 1000 mV (typ.) at IOUT = 150 mA - allows operation from 1.8 V input while regulating 0.8 V output |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.5–5.5 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V), LiFePO4 (2.5–3.65 V), or dual-AA (2.4–3.2 V) sources |
| Package | SDFN4 (0.8 mm × 0.8 mm × 0.38 mm) - enables placement beneath BGA packages or in <1.0 mm² board area |
| Capacitor Support | 0.1 μF ceramic CIN/COUT - eliminates need for bulk electrolytics, reducing height and cost in slim devices |
Pinout & Package
SDFN4 package: 4-pin ultra-small plastic mold (0.8 mm × 0.8 mm × 0.38 mm), bottom-exposed thermal pad (to be connected to GND or left open per design).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input power supply | Accepts 1.5–5.5 V; requires local 0.1 μF ceramic decoupling within 2 mm |
| CONTROL | Enable/disable control input | Active-high logic: ≥1.0 V enables regulator; ≤0.4 V disables with auto-discharge activation |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for VIN, VOUT, CONTROL; thermal pad must connect to GND plane for 300 mW dissipation |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable 0.8 V ±18 mV; 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor required within 1 mm for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 2 μA max at zero load - reduces no-load battery drain to <1 μA/hour in coin-cell-powered IoT nodes |
| Auto-discharge function | 20 Ω internal discharge path - clears VOUT to GND in <1 ms after disable, preventing back-powering of upstream circuits |
| Overcurrent protection | Current-limiting foldback - sustains 200 mA output while limiting peak current to prevent thermal runaway during short-circuit |
| High accuracy at low VOUT | ±18 mV (0.8 V output) - ensures reliable operation of sub-1.0 V digital cores without margin overhead |
| Small-footprint ceramic support | Stable with 0.1 μF CIN/COUT - eliminates ESR sensitivity issues common in larger LDOs, simplifying layout |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R1190J081B-TR-FE | 0.8 V output, 300 mA rating, 250 nA quiescent current, SOT-23-5 package (2.9 mm × 2.8 mm) | Larger footprint; higher current capability but no auto-discharge | Choose for higher load headroom where board area permits and auto-discharge is not required. |
| MCP1703T-0802E/MB | 0.8 V output, 250 mA rating, 4 μA quiescent current, SOT-23-5 package | No auto-discharge; ±2% accuracy (worse than TCR2LN08's ±18 mV at 0.8 V) | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where 4 μA quiescent current is acceptable and discharge control is handled externally. |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance for TCR2LN08,LF(SE) at 0.8 V?
The TCR2LN08,LF(SE) guarantees output voltage accuracy of ±18 mV (±2.25%) at 0.8 V output across operating conditions, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for VOUT < 1.8 V. This tolerance holds at IOUT = 50 mA and Tj = 25°C, with tighter control than general-purpose LDOs targeting higher voltages.
Does TCR2LN08,LF(SE) require external components for stability?
No, the TCR2LN08,LF(SE) is internally compensated and stable with only 0.1 μF ceramic capacitors on both input and output pins. Toshiba explicitly validates this configuration in the Application Note, eliminating the need for ESR-tuned tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors typically required by older LDO architectures.
How does the auto-discharge function operate in TCR2LN08,LF(SE)?
When the CONTROL pin is driven low (≤0.4 V), the TCR2LN08,LF(SE) activates an internal 20 Ω discharge switch between VOUT and GND. This rapidly discharges the output capacitor-typically clearing 0.8 V to <0.1 V within 1 ms-preventing back-powering of upstream circuitry and ensuring clean power sequencing in multi-rail systems.
What is the maximum allowable power dissipation for TCR2LN08,LF(SE) on a standard PCB?
The TCR2LN08,LF(SE) has a maximum power dissipation rating of 300 mW when mounted on a 40 mm × 40 mm FR4 board with 50% copper coverage on both sides. At 200 mA load and 1.0 V dropout (VIN = 1.8 V), power dissipation is 200 mW-within safe limits without heatsinking, provided ambient temperature remains ≤85°C.
Can TCR2LN08,LF(SE) be used with input voltages below 1.5 V?
No, the absolute maximum ratings specify a minimum input voltage of 1.5 V for reliable operation. Attempting to operate below this threshold may cause regulation failure or undefined behavior, as the internal CMOS pass device requires sufficient gate drive margin to maintain control loop stability and dropout performance.
