Product details
Overview
TDA3661AT/N1,118 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips Semiconductors) is an adjustable low-dropout linear voltage regulator delivering up to 100 mA output current with 15 µA typical quiescent current and 0.18 V typical dropout voltage at 50 mA load. It operates across a 3–45 V input range and supports output voltages from 1.5 V to VP via external resistor divider, making it suitable for battery-backed microcontroller power rails in portable and telecom equipment.
For engineers reviewing the TDA3661AT/N1,118 datasheet, TDA3661AT/N1,118 pinout, TDA3661AT/N1,118 application, or TDA3661AT/N1,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low Iq under light/no load, reverse polarity tolerance down to −25 V, thermal shutdown at 150 °C, and SO8 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TDA3661AT/N1,118 implements a bandgap-referenced feedback loop with adjustable output via ADJ pin, enabling precise regulation across wide input ranges. Its internal thermal protection disables output above 150 °C junction temperature, and its architecture sustains regulation down to ~2 V supply before shutdown.
It features four GND pins tied to the lead frame for enhanced thermal dissipation, reverse-polarity safe operation without external diodes, and built-in short-circuit protection to ground and VP. The regulator maintains stable output with output capacitors ≥1 µF and ESR ≤22 Ω.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output current | 100 mA max - sufficient for MCU core logic, real-time clocks, and sensor biasing without external pass transistor |
| Quiescent current | 15 µA typical at VP = 14.4 V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on backup circuits |
| Dropout voltage | 0.18 V typical at 50 mA - allows regulation from 5.18 V input to 5.0 V output, critical for low-voltage battery systems |
| Input voltage range | 3–45 V - supports wide-range industrial supplies, automotive transients, and telecom line-derived rails |
| Reference voltage | 1.244 V typical - sets precision of adjustable output via external R1/R2 divider (k = 4.01929) |
| Reverse polarity rating | −25 V - eliminates need for input protection diode in battery-reversal-prone applications |
| Thermal shutdown | 150 °C junction - prevents damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO8 (SOT96-1), plastic small outline, 8-lead, 3.9 mm body width, with exposed lead frame connected to all GND pins for thermal enhancement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - REG | Regulator output | Delivers regulated voltage; connects to load and output capacitor; requires ≥1 µF low-ESR electrolytic |
| 2, 3, 6, 7 - GND | Ground reference and thermal path | All internally tied to lead frame; must be soldered to large copper pour to reduce Rth(j-a) from 155 K/W to ~50 K/W |
| 4 - n.c. | No connection | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected on PCB |
| 5 - ADJ | Feedback input | Senses output via resistor divider; enables adjustable VOUT = Vref × (1 + R1/R2) |
| 8 - VP | Supply voltage input | Accepts 3–45 V; includes reverse polarity and transient protection; bypass with C1 recommended |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 15 µA typical ensures <1 µA system standby drain when paired with low-Iq microcontrollers |
| Reverse polarity survival | Withstands −25 V at VP without destructive reverse current - removes need for series blocking diode |
| Integrated thermal protection | Auto-shutdown at Tj > 150 °C prevents latch-up or permanent damage during overloads |
| High transient immunity | Survives 50 V negative transients (100 ms, RS = 10 Ω) - suitable for noisy automotive or industrial environments |
| Output short-circuit safety | DC short-circuit protected to both ground and VP - no external current-limiting required |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Telecom Line-Powered Devices |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV70733PDQNR | Fixed 3.3 V output; 250 mA rating; 25 µA Iq; SOT-563 package (5-pin) | Not adjustable; higher Iq; smaller package limits thermal performance | Select only if fixed 3.3 V suffices and board space is constrained - no external resistors needed but loses flexibility |
| MCP1703T-5002E/MB | Fixed 5.0 V output; 250 mA; 4 µA Iq; SOT-23-5 package | Lower Iq but fixed output; no reverse polarity rating; lacks thermal shutdown | Prefer for ultra-low-power fixed-rail designs where −25 V reverse stress is absent and thermal margin is adequate |
Compared with TLV70733PDQNR and MCP1703T-5002E/MB, the TDA3661AT/N1,118 uniquely combines adjustability, −25 V reverse tolerance, and integrated thermal protection in SO8 - essential for ruggedized, field-serviceable systems requiring design flexibility and fault resilience.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for the TDA3661AT/N1,118 to regulate?
The TDA3661AT/N1,118 remains operational down to approximately 2 V supply voltage before switching off. Regulation is guaranteed above 3 V per Quick Reference Data Table 1. Below 2 V, the device enters shutdown to prevent erratic behavior or excessive quiescent current rise - a feature confirmed in Section 7 (Functional Description).
Can the TDA3661AT/N1,118 be used with a fixed 5.0 V output without external resistors?
No - the TDA3661AT/N1,118 is inherently adjustable and requires an external resistor divider between REG, ADJ, and GND to set output voltage. Its reference voltage is 1.244 V typical, so a fixed 5.0 V output demands R1 = 75.1 kΩ and R2 = 24.9 kΩ (k = 4.01929), as shown in Figure 3 of the datasheet.
How does the TDA3661AT/N1,118 handle reverse polarity on the VP pin?
The TDA3661AT/N1,118 is reverse polarity safe down to −25 V at VP with no high reverse current flow, as stated in Section 2 (Features) and Table 4 (Limiting Values). This eliminates the need for an external series diode in battery-powered systems prone to installation errors, unlike standard LDOs that would be destroyed under such conditions.
What is the maximum output capacitance allowed for stable operation of the TDA3661AT/N1,118?
The datasheet specifies C2 ≤ 4700 µF in Section 11.3.1 (Application circuit with backup function). Stability is maintained with electrolytic capacitors ≥1 µF and ESR ≤22 Ω; larger values improve hold-up time but require verification of phase margin, especially below 1 mA load where reduced phase margin is noted.
Does the TDA3661AT/N1,118 support an enable function, and how is it implemented?
Yes - an enable function is supported by pulling the ADJ pin above 1.3 V using an external diode or transistor switch, as detailed in Section 11.3.2 and Figure 4. When enabled, the regulator delivers full output; when disabled, standby current reverts to the 15 µA quiescent level, preserving battery energy in sleep states.
