WHAT IS THE TC1016/TC1017 LDO EVALUATION BOARD?
The TC1016/TC1017 LDO Evaluation Board is a tool that allows the user to evaluate
fixed-voltage versions of both the TC1016 (80 mA LDO) and the TC1017 (150 mA
LDO) devices in the 5-pin SC-70 and SOT-23 packages. Fixed voltage values between
1.2V and 5.0V are available for both the TC1016 and TC1017 LDOs.
Input and output capacitor values of 1 µF are hard-wired on the board, while onboard
jumpers allow you to add additional capacitance values of 4.7 µF and 10 µF for input
and output capacitance for each circuit. Onboard jumpers also provide measurement
points for input current and LDO ground current.
Line and load step circuitry are also provided on the board. Onboard jumpers allow you
to move the line and load step to either Circuit 1 or Circuit 2. Shutdown input connections are also provided with onboard pull-up resistors so that the device will power-up

BOARD USER’S GUIDE
Chapter 2. Installation and Operation
2.1
INTRODUCTION
The TC1016/TC1017 LDO Evaluation Board allows the user to evaluate Microchip’s
80 mA (TC1016) and 150 mA (TC1017) Low-Dropout (LDO) regulators. The evaluation
board contains two independent LDO circuits that allow the user to evaluate the
TC1016 and TC1017 devices in the 5-pin SC-70 and SOT-23 packages. The
evaluation board is populated with a TC1017 1.8V output voltage device (SOT-23
circuit) and a TC1017 3.0V output voltage device (SC-70 circuit). Any of the available
output voltage values of the devices (1.2V to 5.0V) can be used on this board. Fixed
input and output capacitor values of 1.0 µF are hard-wired on the board, while values
of 4.7 µF and 10 µF can be selected via jumpers. Line and load step circuitry is also
provided.
2.2
FEATURES
The TC1016/TC1017 LDO Evaluation Board has the following features:
• Input voltage range: 2.7V to 6.0V
• Additional input and output capacitor value selection capability via jumpers
(4.7 µF and 10 µF values)
• Output voltage shutdown via the SHDN inputs
• Overcurrent protection (device feature)
• Overtemperature protection (device feature)
• Line and load step testing capability
2.3
GETTING STARTED
The TC1016/TC1017 LDO Evaluation Board is fully assembled and tested over its
input voltage and output current operating range. This board requires the use of an
external input voltage source (+2.7V to +6.0V) and an external load (electronic or
resistive). The Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design provides cooling for the LDO devices
via onboard copper. If the devices are operated with high power dissipation (large
input-to-output voltage differential and maximum output current), additional cooling
may be required to keep the devices from going into overtemperature shutdown.
The TC1016/TC1017 LDO Evaluation Board contains two evaluation circuits: one for
the SC-70 package and one for the SOT-23 package. The board has both positions
populated with the TC1017 LDO. Circuit 1 (U1) has the 3.0V output voltage version of
the device (TC1017-3.0VLT) in the SC-70 package, while Circuit 2 (U2) has the 1.8V
output voltage version (TC1017-1.8VCT) in the SOT-23 package. The TC1016 LDO
can be used in either circuit since it has the same pinout in each package.
The LDO circuits are powered independent of each other through separate connectors/test points. The circuitry for evaluating the SC-70 package is referenced on the
schematic as Circuit 1, while the circuitry for evaluating the SOT-23 package is
referenced as Circuit 2. The ground connections for the board are all common to each
other. There are a total of four connection (test) points for ground for the LDO circuits
(TP2, TP5, TP7 and TP10).

TC1016/TC1017 Evaluation Board User’s Guide
The line step circuit can be used to provide pulsed input voltages to the LDO circuits.
Either LDO circuit can be connected to the line step circuitry by populating a simple
jumper post on either JP15 or JP16.
The load step circuit can be used to provide step loads to the output of the LDO circuits.
Either LDO circuit can be connected to the load step circuitry by populating a simple
jumper post on either JP13 or JP14.
Additional input and output capacitance values can also be added to the LDO circuits
by populating jumper posts. Capacitor values of 4.7 µF and 10 µF are available on both
the input and output of the LDO.
All of the connections to the TC1016/TC1017 LDO Evaluation Board are made through
surface-mount test points. These test points can be removed with a soldering iron if you
want to solder wires directly to the pads on the board.

Installation and Operation
2.4
TESTING CIRCUIT 1 OF THE TC1016/TC1017 LDO Evaluation Board
2.4.1
Power Input and Output Connections
2.4.1.1
POWERING THE TC1016/TC1017 LDO EVALUATION BOARD
1. Apply the input voltage to test points TP1 (VIN1) and TP2 (GND). Connect the
positive side of the input source (+) to TP1 (VIN1). Connect the negative, or
return, side (-) of the input source to the GND terminal (TP2). These two test
points are located on the upper-left side of the board. The power supply input
voltage must be in the specified operating range for the board to operate properly
(2.7V to 6.0V).
2. When an input voltage is applied and is within the operating voltage range of the
LDO, the LDO output will turn on automatically. The SHDN1 input (TP3) has
been pulled up to VIN1, which turns the device on. The LDO output can be turned
off by pulling TP3 low. This can be accomplished by connecting TP3 to either
TP2 or TP10 (the two nearest ground connection points).
2.4.1.2
APPLYING THE LOAD TO THE TC1016/TC1017 LDO EVALUATION
BOARD
1. To apply a load to VOUT1 of the TC1016/TC1017 LDO Evaluation Board, the
positive side of the load (+) should be connected to TP4 (VOUT1). The negative
side of the load should be connected to TP5 (GND).
2. The maximum output current of the TC1016 is 80 mA, while the maximum output
current of the TC1017 is 150 mA. If the output load exceeds these respective
levels, the TC1016 and TC1017 will go into Current Limit mode(see device data
sheets for more details). If, during the Overload condition, the device junction
temperature exceeds the overtemperature limit of 150°C, the output of the LDO
will turn off and wait for the junction temperature to cool down before turning the
LDO output back on.
2.4.2
Changing Input and Output Capacitor Values of the LDO
The TC1016/TC1017 LDO Evaluation Board comes with 1 µF, 4.7 µF and 10 µF input
and output capacitor values. The 1 µF input and output capacitor are always
connected. The 4.7 µF and 10 µF input and output capacitor values can be selected by
populating jumpers on the board. To select the 4.7 µF input capacitor, populate jumper
JP3. To select the 10 µF input capacitor, populate jumper JP2. The shorting jumper
hats provided for Circuit 2 can be used to make these connections. To select the 4.7 µF
output capacitor, populate JP5. To select the 10 µF output capacitor, populate JP6.
2.4.3
Measuring Quiescent Current and Ground Current
As you will see by looking at the TC1016/TC1017 LDO Evaluation Board schematic,
Circuit 1 has jumper positions that are in series with the input voltage connection (JP1)
to the LDO and in series with the ground connection (JP4). These jumper positions
have been populated with jumper hats to complete the input voltage and ground path
connections. If you would like to measure the quiescent current or ground current of the
LDO, the jumper hats can be removed to allow for multi-meters to be placed in series
with these connections in order to measure input current (JP1) and LDO ground current
(JP4).

TESTING CIRCUIT 2 OF THE TC1016/TC1017 LDO Evaluation Board
2.5.1
Power Input and Output Connections (Refer to Figure 2-1)
2.5.1.1
POWERING THE TC1016/TC1017 LDO EVALUATION BOARD
1. To apply the input voltage to TP6 (VIN2) and TP7 (GND), connect the positive
side of the input source (+) to TP6 (VIN2) and connect the negative, or return,
side (-) of the input source to TP7 (GND). These two test points are located in the
upper-right side of the board. The power supply input voltage must be in the
specified operating range for the board to operate properly (2.7V to 6.0V).
2. When input voltage is applied and is within the operating voltage range of the
LDO, the LDO output will turn on automatically. The SHDN2 input (TP8) has
been pulled up to VIN2, which turns the device on. The LDO output can be turned
off by pulling TP8 low. This can be done by connecting TP8 to either TP7 or TP10
(the two nearest ground connection points).
2.5.1.2
APPLYING THE LOAD TO THE TC1016/TC1017 LDO EVALUATION
BOARD
1. To apply a load to VOUT2 of the TC1016/TC1017 LDO Evaluation Board, the
positive side of the load (+) should be connected to TP9 (VOUT2). The negative
side of the load should be connected to TP10 (GND).
2. The maximum output current of the TC1016 is 80mA and the maximum output
current of the TC1017 is 150 mA. If the output load exceeds these respective
levels, the TC1016 and TC1017 will go into Current Limit mode (see device data
sheets for more details). If, during the Overload condition, the device junction
temperature exceeds the overtemperature limit of 150°C, the output of the LDO
will turn off and wait for the junction temperature to cool down before turning the
LDO output back on.
2.5.2
Changing Input and Output Capacitor Values of the LDO
The TC1016/TC1017 LDO Evaluation Board comes with 1 µF, 4.7 µF and 10 µF input
and output capacitor values. The 1 µF input and output capacitors are always
connected. The 4.7 µF and 10 µF input and output capacitor values can be selected by
populating jumpers on the board. To select the 4.7 µF input capacitor, populate jumper
JP9. To select the 10 µF input capacitor, populate jumper JP8. The shorting jumper
hats provided for Circuit 1 can be used to make these connections. To select the 4.7 µF
output capacitor, populate JP11. To select the 10 µF output capacitor, populate JP12.
2.5.3
Measuring Quiescent Current and Ground Current
As you will see by looking at the TC1016/TC1017 LDO Evaluation Board schematic,
Circuit 2 has jumper positions that are in series with the input voltage connection (JP7)
to the LDO and in series with the ground connection (JP10). These jumper positions
have been populated with jumper hats to complete the input voltage and ground path
connections. If you would like to measure the quiescent current or ground current of the
LDO, the jumper hats can be removed to allow for multi-meters to be placed in series
for these connections in order to measure input current (JP7) and LDO ground current
(JP10).

Installation and Operation
2.6
USING THE LINE AND LOAD STEP CIRCUITRY
Line and load step circuitry has been provided on the TC1016/TC1017 LDO Evaluation
Board to make line and load step testing easy. The following sections will describe how
to connect to the line and load step circuits, as well as how to connect those circuits to
the LDO input or output for testing.
2.7
LINE STEP TESTING
2.7.1
Powering the Line Step Circuitry (Refer to Figure 2-1)
The line step circuitry on the board requires three power supplies and one input signal.
The first power supply is the high point of the step voltage to be applied to the LDO
input. The second power supply is the low point of the step voltage, while the third
power supply is the bias voltage for the MOSFET driver that turns the gates of the
external transition FET on and off.
The high value of the input voltage step should be connected to test points TP15 and
TP16. The positive voltage is connected to TP16 and the ground lead should be
connected to TP15. This voltage represents the high value of the input step voltage and
should not exceed 6.0V. These test points are located in the lower-left corner of the
board.
The low value of the input voltage step should be connected to TP14 and TP15. The
positive voltage is connected to TP14, while the ground lead should be connected to
TP15. This voltage represents the low value of the input step voltage. These test points
are located in the lower-left corner of the board.
The bias voltage for the MOSFET driver should be connected to TP11 and TP12. The
positive voltage is connected to TP11, while the ground lead is connected to TP12.
These test points are located in the middle of the bottom edge of the board. The bias
voltage for the driver should be above 5V. A bias voltage of 10V is suggested to provide
good gate drive to the transition MOSFETs. The bias voltage to the driver should not
exceed 15V.

DS51580A-page 11
TC1016/TC1017 Evaluation Board User’s Guide
2.7.2
Applying the Input Signal to the Line Step Circuit
(Refer to Figure 2-1)
The input signal to the line step circuit controls the pulse voltage waveform that is
applied to the input of the LDO. A pulsed rectangular waveform should be used as the
input signal to the line step circuitry. This waveform can be generated easily using any
pulse/function generator. The positive voltage of the input signal should be connected
to TP13. The ground lead of the pulse input signal can be connected to TP12 or any
other ground on the board. An input signal level of anywhere between 3.0V and the bias
voltage to the MOSFET driver is acceptable.
Varying the duty cycle and frequency of the input signal for the line step pulse will
control the duty cycle and frequency of the step voltage that is applied to the LDO.
Note:
2.7.3
The step voltage waveform generated by the line step circuitry can be
monitored by connecting an oscilloscope to either JP15 or JP16. The pins
of JP15 and JP16 that are connected to MOSFET Q1 will show the step
waveform that is being generated by the line step circuitry. This voltage
should be monitored before connecting the line step voltage to the LDO
input in order to ensure that the desired voltage step is being generated.
Connecting the Step Voltage to the LDO Input
(Refer to Figure 2-1)
The step voltage being generated by the line step circuitry can be connected to Circuit
1 and Circuit 2 by using jumpers JP15 and JP16, respectively.
- If you want to apply the line step voltage to Circuit 1, populate JP15. This
will connect the output of the transition MOSFET Q1 to the input voltage
VIN1 of Circuit 1.
- If you want to apply the line step voltage to Circuit 2, populate JP16. This
will connect the output of the transition MOSFET Q1 to the input voltage
VIN2 of Circuit 2.
It is always a good idea to monitor the input voltage step waveform before applying it
to the LDO circuitry in order to ensure that the voltages are at the proper levels.
An example of a line step setup is shown below:
-
DS51580A-page 12
Low-Level Bias Voltage = 3.3V (connect to TP14 and TP15 (GND))
High-Level Bias Voltage = 5.0V (connect to TP16 and TP15 (GND))
Bias Voltage for MOSFET Driver = 10.0V (connect to TP11 and TP12 (GND))
Input Signal for Line Step Pulse = 0.0V to 3.0V pulse, 50% duty cycle, 50 Hz
(connect to TP13 and TP12 (GND))

The load step circuitry supplied on the board consists of a N-channel MOSFET and two
load resistors (2.0 ohms each).
2.8.1
Supplying the Input Signal to the Load Step Circuit
The input signal for the load step circuit is connected to TP17 (positive side) and TP18
(ground lead). This signal should be supplied by a function-generator that allows you
to vary the amplitude, frequency and duty cycle of the signal.
The frequency and duty cycle of the load step applied to the LDO is controlled by the
input signal that turns the gate of MOSFET Q2 on and off. The frequency and duty cycle
of the load step can be adjusted to meet the requirements of your system.
The amplitude of the input signal will control the amplitude of the load step. Start with
the amplitude of the input signal set to 1.0V. Monitor the input signal with an
oscilloscope and use it as your trigger waveform.
The load step amplitude can be monitored by using an oscilloscope current probe. In
order to measure the load step being applied to Circuit 1, connect the pins of JP13
together using a jumper wire (make a loop of wire big enough to allow for the passage
of the oscilloscope probe). Use the current probe of the oscilloscope to measure the
current flowing through the jumper wire. Continue to increase the voltage amplitude of
the input signal until you see a step load of current. The input amplitude will usually be
above 2.5V before a step load is seen. As you continue to increase the input signal
amplitude, the step load amplitude will also increase.
The load step amplitude can also be monitored by using an oscilloscope to look at the
voltage across the parallel resistor combination of R13 and R14. R13 and R14 are
2.0 ohm resistors, so an 80 mA load step will create an 80 mV voltage step across this
resistor pair.
The step load can be applied to Circuit 2 by connecting the pins of JP14 together with
a jumper wire and repeating the above process.
If a DC offset for the load step is required (you want to perform a load step from 20 mA
to 60 mA), a DC load can be attached to the output voltage connections of the LDO
circuit. This should be used to provide the low-end of the load. The step load circuit can
then be used to provide the remaining load to the LDO.
