The MCP1801 is a family of CMOS low dropout (LDO)
voltage regulators that can deliver up to 150 mA of
current while consuming only 25 µA of quiescent
current (typical). The input operating range is specified
from 2.0V to 10.0V, making it an ideal choice for two to
six primary cell battery-powered applications, 9V
alkaline and one or two cell Li-Ion-powered
applications.

The MCP1801 is capable of delivering 100 mA with
only 200 mV (typical) of input to output voltage
differential (VOUT = 3.3V). The output voltage tolerance
of the MCP1801 at +25°C is typically ±0.4% with a
maximum of ±2%. Line regulation is ±0.01% typical at
+25°C.
The LDO output is stable with a minimum of 1 µF of
output capacitance. Ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum
electrolytic capacitors can all be used for input and
output. Overcurrent limit with current foldback provides
short-circuit protection. A shutdown (SHDN) function
allows the output to be enabled or disabled. When
disabled, the MCP1801 draws only 0.01 µA of current
(typical).
The MCP1801 is available in a SOT-23-5 package.

The minimum VIN must meet two conditions: VIN2.0V and VIN (VR + 1.0V).
VR is the nominal regulator output voltage. For example: VR = 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.0V, 3.3V, or 5.0V.
The input voltage VIN = VR + 1.0V or ViIN = 2.0V (whichever is greater); IOUT = 100 µA.
TCVOUT = (VOUT-HIGH - VOUT-LOW) *106 / (VR * Temperature), VOUT-HIGH = highest voltage measured over the
temperature range. VOUT-LOW = lowest voltage measured over the temperature range.
Load regulation is measured at a constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Changes in output
voltage due to heating effects are determined using thermal regulation specification TCVOUT.
Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its measured
value with an applied input voltage of VR + 1.0V or 2.0V, whichever is greater.

TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CURVES
Note:
The graphs and tables provided following this note are a statistical summary based on a limited number of
samples and are provided for informational purposes only. The performance characteristics listed herein
are not tested or guaranteed. In some graphs or tables, the data presented may be outside the specified
operating range (e.g., outside specified power supply range) and therefore outside the warranted range.
Note: Unless otherwise indicated: VR = 3.3V, COUT = 1 µF Ceramic (X7R), CIN = 1 µF Ceramic (X7R), IL = 100 µA,
TA = +25°C, VIN = VR + 1.0V, SOT-23-5.
Note: Junction Temperature (TJ) is approximated by soaking the device under test to an ambient temperature equal to the desired junction temperature.
The test time is small enough such that the rise in Junction temperature over the Ambient temperature is not significant.

Function
Unregulated Supply Voltage
Regulated Voltage Output
Unregulated Input Voltage (VIN)
Connect VIN to the input unregulated source voltage.
Like all low dropout linear regulators, low source
impedance is necessary for the stable operation of the
LDO. The amount of capacitance required to ensure
low source impedance will depend on the proximity of
the input source capacitors or battery type. For most
applications, 0.1 µF of capacitance will ensure stable
operation of the LDO circuit. The type of capacitor used
can be ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic. The
low ESR characteristics of the ceramic will yield better
noise and PSRR performance at high frequency.
3.2
Ground Terminal (GND)
Regulator ground. Tie GND to the negative side of the
output and the negative side of the input capacitor.
Only the LDO bias current (25 µA typical) flows out of
this pin; there is no high current. The LDO output
regulation is referenced to this pin. Minimize voltage
drops between this pin and the negative side of the
load.
 2010 Microchip Technology Inc.
3.3
Shutdown Input (SHDN)
The SHDN input is used to turn the LDO output voltage
on and off. When the SHDN input is at a logic-high
level, the LDO output voltage is enabled. When the
SHDN input is pulled to a logic-low level, the LDO
output voltage is disabled and the LDO enters a low
quiescent current shutdown state where the typical
quiescent current is 0.01 µA. The SHDN pin does not
have an internal pull-up or pull-down resistor. The
SHDN pin must be connected to either VIN or GND to
prevent the device from becoming unstable.
3.4
Regulated Output Voltage (VOUT)
Connect VOUT to the positive side of the load and the
positive terminal of the output capacitor. The positive
side of the output capacitor should be physically
located as close to the LDO VOUT pin as is practical.
The current flowing out of this pin is equal to the DC
load current.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
4.1
Output Regulation
A portion of the LDO output voltage is fed back to the
internal error amplifier and compared with the precision
internal bandgap reference. The error amplifier output
will adjust the amount of current that flows through the
P-Channel pass transistor, thus regulating the output
voltage to the desired value. Any changes in input
voltage or output current will cause the error amplifier
to respond and adjust the output voltage to the target
voltage (refer to Figure 4-1).
4.2
Overcurrent
The MCP1801 internal circuitry monitors the amount of
current flowing through the P-Channel pass transistor.
In the event that the load current reaches the current
limiter level of 300 mA (typical), the current limiter
circuit will operate and the output voltage will drop. As
the output voltage drops, the internal current foldback
circuit will further reduce the output voltage causing the
output current to decrease. When the output is shorted,
a typical output current of 50 mA flows.
4.3
Shutdown
The SHDN input is used to turn the LDO output voltage
on and off. When the SHDN input is at a logic-high
level, the LDO output voltage is enabled. When the
SHDN input is pulled to a logic-low level, the LDO
output voltage is disabled and the LDO enters a low
quiescent current shutdown state where the typical
quiescent current is 0.01 µA. The SHDN pin does not
have an internal pull-up or pull-down resistor.
Therefore, the SHDN pin must be pulled either high or
low to prevent the device from becoming unstable. The
internal device current will increase when the device is
operational and current flows through the pull-up or
pull-down resistor to the SHDN pin internal logic. The
SHDN pin internal logic is equivalent to an inverter
input.
 2010 Microchip Technology Inc.
4.4
Output Capacitor
The MCP1801 requires a minimum output capacitance
of 1 µF for output voltage stability. Ceramic capacitors
are recommended because of their size, cost, and
environmental robustness qualities.
Aluminum-electrolytic and tantalum capacitors can be
used on the LDO output as well. The output capacitor
should be located as close to the LDO output as is
practical. Ceramic materials X7R and X5R have low
temperature coefficients and are well within the
acceptable ESR range required. A typical 1 µF X7R
0805 capacitor has an ESR of 50 milli-ohms.
Larger LDO output capacitors can be used with the
MCP1801 to improve dynamic performance and power
supply ripple rejection performance. Aluminumelectrolytic capacitors are not recommended for low
temperature applications of 25°C.
4.5
Input Capacitor
Low input source impedance is necessary for the LDO
output to operate properly. When operating from
batteries, or in applications with long lead length
(> 10 inches) between the input source and the LDO,
some input capacitance is recommended. A minimum
of 0.1 µF to 4.7 µF is recommended for most
applications.
For applications that have output step load
requirements, the input capacitance of the LDO is very
important. The input capacitance provides the LDO
with a good local low-impedance source to pull the
transient currents from in order to respond quickly to
the output load step. For good step response
performance, the input capacitor should be of
equivalent (or higher) value than the output capacitor.
The capacitor should be placed as close to the input of
the LDO as is practical. Larger input capacitors will also
help reduce any high-frequency noise on the input and
output of the LDO and reduce the effects of any
inductance that exists between the input source
voltage and the input capacitance of the LDO.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The MCP1801 CMOS low dropout linear regulator is
intended for applications that need the low current
consumption while maintaining output voltage
regulation. The operating continuous load range of the
MCP1801 is from 0 mA to 150 mA. The input operating
voltage range is from 2.0V to 10.0V, making it capable
of operating from three or more alkaline cells or single
and multiple Li-Ion cell batteries.
5.1
5.2
Output
The maximum rated continuous output current for the
MCP1801 is 150 mA.
A minimum output capacitance of 1.0 µF is required for
small signal stability in applications that have up to
150 mA output current capability. The capacitor type
can be ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic.
Input
The input of the MCP1801 is connected to the source
of the P-Channel PMOS pass transistor. As with all
LDO circuits, a relatively low source impedance (10)
is needed to prevent the input impedance from causing
the LDO to become unstable. The size and type of the
capacitor needed depends heavily on the input source
type (battery, power supply) and the output current
range of the application. For most applications a 0.1 µF
ceramic capacitor will be sufficient to ensure circuit
stability. Larger values can be used to improve circuit
AC performance.

The internal power dissipation of the MCP1801 is a
function of input voltage, output voltage, and output
current. The power dissipation, as a result of the
quiescent current draw, is so low, it is insignificant

Voltage Regulator
Internal power dissipation, junction temperature rise,
junction temperature and maximum power dissipation
are calculated in the following example. The power
dissipation, as a result of ground current, is small
enough to be neglected.
6.3.1
POWER DISSIPATION EXAMPLE
The internal junction temperature rise is a function of
internal power dissipation and the thermal resistance
from junction to ambient for the application. The
thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RJA) is
derived from an EIA/JEDEC standard for measuring
thermal resistance for small surface mount packages.
The EIA/JEDEC specification is JESD51-7, “High
Effective Thermal Conductivity Test Board for Leaded
Surface Mount Packages”. The standard describes the
test method and board specifications for measuring the
thermal resistance from junction to ambient. The actual
thermal resistance for a particular application can vary
depending on many factors, such as copper area and
thickness. Refer to AN792, “A Method to Determine
How Much Power a SOT-23 Can Dissipate in an
Application”, (DS00792), for more information
regarding this subject.

output current times the voltage across the LDO
(VIN to VOUT).
PLDO(MAX) = (VIN(MAX) - VOUT(MIN)) x IOUT(MAX)
PLDO = (5.0V - (0.98 x 1.8V)) x 50 mA

Junction Temperature Estimate
6.5
To estimate the internal junction temperature, the
calculated temperature rise is added to the ambient or
offset temperature. For this example, the worst-case
junction temperature is estimated in the following table.
For some applications, there are pulsed load current
events that may exceed the specified 150 mA
maximum specification of the MCP1801. The internal
current limit of the MCP1801 will prevent high peak
load demands from causing non-recoverable damage.
The 150 mA rating is a maximum average continuous
rating. As long as the average current does not exceed
150 mA nor the maximum power dissipation of the
packaged device, pulsed higher load currents can be
applied to the MCP1801. The typical current limit for
the MCP1801 is 300 mA (TA +25°C).

Voltage Reference
The MCP1801 can be used not only as a regulator, but
also as a low quiescent current voltage reference. In
many microcontroller applications, the initial accuracy
of the reference can be calibrated using production test
equipment or by using a ratio measurement. When the
initial accuracy is calibrated, the thermal stability and
line regulation tolerance are the only errors introduced
by the MCP1801 LDO. The low cost, low quiescent
current, and small ceramic output capacitor are all
advantages when using the MCP1801 as a voltage
reference.
