Product details
Overview
TCR3DM18,RF(SE) from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is a 1.8 V fixed-output, 300 mA CMOS low-dropout regulator with inrush current protection, on/off control input, and auto-discharge function. It delivers 270 mV typical dropout at full load, 38 μVrms output noise, and ±80 mV load transient response with 1.0 μF ceramic capacitors-designed for power management in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the TCR3DM18,RF(SE) datasheet, TCR3DM18,RF(SE) pinout, TCR3DM18,RF(SE) application, or TCR3DM18,RF(SE) equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-small DFN4E (1.0 mm × 1.0 mm) footprint, guaranteed 1.8 V ±1.0% output accuracy, 0.1 μA standby current, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors in battery-powered mobile devices.
Technical Context
The TCR3DM18,RF(SE) integrates a CMOS pass transistor with internal inrush current limiting and an active auto-discharge circuit tied to the CONTROL pin. Its feedback loop is optimized for stability with 1.0 μF ceramic output capacitance and achieves 70 dB ripple rejection at 1 kHz.
It operates across –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, supports input voltages from 1.75 V to 5.5 V, and features thermal shutdown and overcurrent protection triggered independently of output load conditions-enabling robust operation in dynamically loaded portable systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±1.0% - ensures stable core logic supply for 1.8 V I/O domains without external resistors |
| Max output current | 300 mA - sufficient to power multiple low-power microcontrollers or sensor subsystems |
| Dropout voltage | 270 mV typ. at 300 mA - enables regulation from 2.07 V input, extending battery runtime in single-cell Li-ion or Li-poly systems |
| Output noise | 38 μVrms (10 Hz–100 kHz) - minimizes jitter in analog/RF sections powered from same rail |
| Load transient response | ±80 mV (1 mA ⇔ 300 mA, COUT = 1.0 μF) - maintains system stability during burst-mode processor activity |
| Standby current | 0.1 μA max - preserves battery charge during deep-sleep modes in IoT endpoints |
| Ripple rejection | 70 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters |
Pinout & Package
TCR3DM18,RF(SE) uses the ultra-compact DFN4E package (1.0 mm × 1.0 mm × 0.58 mm), with exposed thermal pad connected to GND for enhanced thermal performance. Weight is 1.3 mg (typ.).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input power supply | Accepts 1.75–5.5 V; requires 1.0 μF ceramic decoupling close to pin |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 1.8 V; connects to 1.0 μF ceramic capacitor and load |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path; center thermal pad must be soldered to PCB GND plane |
| CONTROL | Enable/disable input | Logic-high (≥1.0 V) enables output; logic-low (≤0.4 V) disables output and activates auto-discharge |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inrush current protection | Prevents input voltage sag and system reset during cold-start by limiting initial charge current into output capacitor |
| Auto-discharge function | Actively discharges VOUT to GND within milliseconds when CONTROL is pulled low-eliminates residual voltage that could interfere with power sequencing |
| Pull-down on CONTROL | Internal resistor ties CONTROL to GND-ensures default OFF state if pin is left floating, improving system safety |
| Ceramic capacitor compatibility | Stable operation with 1.0 μF input/output ceramics (ESR < 10 Ω)-reduces board area vs. tantalum or electrolytic alternatives |
| Low quiescent current | 65 μA typ. at 1.8 V output - maintains efficiency in always-on sensor nodes without compromising startup time |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6210B182MR-G | Same 1.8 V output, 300 mA rating, but no inrush protection or auto-discharge; 250 mV dropout at 300 mA | Lacks controlled power sequencing-requires external discharge circuitry for clean shutdown | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs need for integrated inrush and discharge functions |
| Rohm BD3985FVM-18 | 1.8 V, 300 mA, includes thermal shutdown and current limit, but higher 350 mV dropout and 60 μVrms noise | Less suitable for noise-critical RF/analog sections due to higher output noise | Prefer where thermal robustness is prioritized over noise performance and board space |
Compared with TCR3DM18,RF(SE), the XC6210B182MR-G omits critical power sequencing features needed for reliable embedded boot-up, while the BD3985FVM-18 trades off noise and dropout performance for marginally stronger thermal protection-making TCR3DM18,RF(SE) optimal for space- and noise-constrained portable designs requiring integrated control.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage accuracy of TCR3DM18,RF(SE) over temperature and load?
The TCR3DM18,RF(SE) guarantees ±1.0% output voltage accuracy across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and load current (1 mA to 300 mA), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Output voltage accuracy" for VOUT ≥ 1.8 V. This tolerance ensures reliable operation of 1.8 V logic interfaces without external trimming, and is validated per Toshiba's production test conditions using VIN = VOUT + 1 V and 1.0 μF ceramic capacitors.
Does TCR3DM18,RF(SE) require an external pull-down resistor on the CONTROL pin?
No, TCR3DM18,RF(SE) includes an internal pull-down resistor between CONTROL and GND, ensuring the device remains disabled by default when the CONTROL pin is left unconnected. This eliminates the need for external components in most applications and improves system-level safety during power-up or firmware initialization sequences-confirmed in the "Features" section and Pin Assignment diagram of the official datasheet.
Can TCR3DM18,RF(SE) operate with input voltage below 2.0 V?
Yes, TCR3DM18,RF(SE) supports minimum input voltage of 1.75 V (per Absolute Maximum Ratings), enabling operation with partially discharged single-cell Li-ion batteries. However, dropout voltage rises significantly below 2.07 V input (1.8 V + 270 mV), so regulation is only maintained down to ~1.85 V input at 300 mA load-verified in the Dropout Voltage vs. Output Current curves for 1.8 V output products.
What is the thermal performance of TCR3DM18,RF(SE) on a standard FR4 PCB?
When mounted on a 40 mm × 40 mm × 1.6 mm FR4 board with 50% copper coverage on both sides, TCR3DM18,RF(SE) has a maximum power dissipation rating of 420 mW (at Ta = 25°C). Its thermal shutdown triggers at 150°C junction temperature, and the DFN4E package's exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a GND plane to achieve this rating-details confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Package Dimensions sections.
Is TCR3DM18,RF(SE) compatible with 0201-size ceramic capacitors?
Yes, TCR3DM18,RF(SE) is fully compatible with 0201-size 1.0 μF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitors on both input and output, as explicitly stated in the "Features" list and Application Note. Toshiba specifies ESR < 10 Ω for stability, which is readily met by modern 0201 ceramics-enabling ultra-dense layouts in space-constrained portable designs without compromising transient response or noise performance.
