Product details
Overview
TCR3DM25,LF(SE) from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is a 2.5 V fixed-output CMOS low-dropout regulator delivering up to 300 mA with 210 mV typical dropout voltage at full load, 38 μVrms output noise, and inrush current protection - deployed in power rails for cellular phone baseband ICs and RF transceivers.
For engineers reviewing the TCR3DM25,LF(SE) datasheet, TCR3DM25,LF(SE) pinout, TCR3DM25,LF(SE) application, or TCR3DM25,LF(SE) equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-small DFN4E (1.0 mm × 1.0 mm) footprint compatibility, ceramic capacitor support (1.0 μF input/output), fast load transient response (±80 mV), and auto-discharge functionality for system-level power sequencing.
Technical Context
The TCR3DM25,LF(SE) integrates a CMOS pass transistor with an internal error amplifier, reference voltage generator, and dedicated inrush current control circuit that limits peak input current during startup. Its feedback loop is internally compensated for stability with 1.0 μF ceramic output capacitors.
It features active over-current and over-temperature protection, plus a pull-down resistor between CONTROL and GND enabling default-off operation. The auto-discharge function rapidly discharges the output capacitor when CONTROL is pulled low, reducing residual voltage in standby mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±1.0% (ensures stable core voltage for 2.5 V logic and analog blocks) |
| Max output current | 300 mA continuous (supports high-pulse-load subsystems like GSM/UMTS PA drivers) |
| Dropout voltage | 210 mV typ. at 300 mA (enables regulation from 2.71 V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion systems) |
| Output noise | 38 μVrms (10 Hz–100 kHz) (minimizes phase noise in RF local oscillator supply paths) |
| Ripple rejection | 70 dB typ. at 1 kHz (suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters) |
| Load transient response | ±80 mV max ΔVOUT (1 mA ↔ 300 mA, COUT = 1.0 μF) (maintains voltage integrity during burst-mode processor activity) |
| Quiescent current | 68 μA typ. at 2.5 V output (extends battery life in always-on sensor or modem standby modes) |
| Standby current | 0.1 μA typ. (CONTROL = 0 V) (enables ultra-low-power deep-sleep states) |
Pinout & Package
TCR3DM25,LF(SE) uses the ultra-compact DFN4E package (1.0 mm × 1.0 mm × 0.58 mm height, 1.3 mg weight) with wettable flank terminals for automated optical inspection. The exposed center pad must be connected to GND for thermal and electrical performance.
| 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 2.5 V ±1.0%; connects to load and 1.0 μF ceramic capacitor |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for input/output circuits and thermal path via center pad |
| CONTROL | Enable/disable input | Logic-high (≥1.0 V) enables regulation; logic-low (≤0.4 V) disables output and activates auto-discharge |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inrush current protection | Internally limits peak input current during power-up to prevent input rail collapse in multi-rail portable systems |
| Auto-discharge function | Actively discharges VOUT to <100 mV within 100 μs after CONTROL deactivation, eliminating hold-up voltage in sequenced power domains |
| Ceramic capacitor compatibility | Stable with 1.0 μF X5R/X7R ceramics on both input and output - eliminates need for bulk tantalum or electrolytic caps |
| Low-noise LDO architecture | 38 μVrms noise floor enables direct powering of RF synthesizers and ADC reference supplies without additional filtering |
| Thermal shutdown + OCP | Protects against sustained overload or PCB thermal runaway; recovery is automatic after fault removal and junction cooldown |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise, ultra-small LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6216D252MR-G | 2.5 V fixed, 300 mA, 250 mV dropout (typ.), no inrush protection or auto-discharge | Lacks integrated inrush limiting and auto-discharge - requires external circuitry for safe hot-plug or sequencing | Choose if board space allows discrete discharge FET and inrush resistor, and noise spec is relaxed to 55 μVrms |
| Rohm BD3572EFJ-ME2 | 2.5 V fixed, 300 mA, 200 mV dropout (typ.), 45 μVrms noise, no inrush protection | Higher noise and missing inrush circuit limit suitability for RF-sensitive or multi-rail hot-swap designs | Prefer where thermal performance is prioritized (higher PD rating) but inrush control and ultra-low noise are non-critical |
Compared with TCR3DM25,LF(SE), the XC6216D252MR-G offers comparable size and current but lacks integrated inrush and discharge functions - increasing BOM count and layout complexity. The BD3572EFJ-ME2 delivers slightly lower dropout but higher noise and no inrush protection, making it less suitable for RF or tightly sequenced portable systems.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for TCR3DM25,LF(SE) to maintain regulation at 300 mA?
The TCR3DM25,LF(SE) requires a minimum input voltage of 2.71 V to sustain 2.5 V output at 300 mA load, based on its 210 mV typical dropout voltage. This allows reliable operation across the full discharge curve of a single-cell Li-ion battery (2.7–4.2 V), maximizing usable energy before brownout.
Does TCR3DM25,LF(SE) require external components for stability?
No, the TCR3DM25,LF(SE) is internally compensated and stable with only 1.0 μF ceramic capacitors on VIN and VOUT - no ESR requirements or external compensation networks needed. Toshiba specifies X5R/X7R dielectrics with ≤10 Ω ESR for optimal transient performance.
How does the auto-discharge function operate in TCR3DM25,LF(SE)?
When the CONTROL pin is driven low (≤0.4 V), the TCR3DM25,LF(SE) activates an internal discharge FET between VOUT and GND, reducing output voltage to <100 mV within 100 μs. This eliminates residual charge that could interfere with power sequencing or cause latch-up in downstream logic.
Can TCR3DM25,LF(SE) be used with input voltages above 5.5 V?
No - the absolute maximum input voltage for TCR3DM25,LF(SE) is 6.0 V, but the recommended operating range is limited to 1.75–5.5 V per datasheet specifications. Exceeding 5.5 V risks violating safe operating area limits and may trigger overvoltage stress not covered by protection circuits.
Is the DFN4E package of TCR3DM25,LF(SE) compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes, the TCR3DM25,LF(SE) in DFN4E (1.0 mm × 1.0 mm) is qualified for JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and supports standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C). Its wettable flank design enables reliable solder joint inspection using automated optical inspection (AOI) systems.
