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.

TABLE 3-1: MCP1801 PIN FUNCTION TABLE Pin No. SOT-23-5 Name 1 VIN 2 GND 3 SHDN Shutdown Input 4 NC No Connection 5 VOUT 3.1 Function Unregulated Supply Voltage Ground Terminal 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. © 2009 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. DS22051C-page 11 MCP1801 NOTES: DS22051C-page 12 © 2009 Microchip Technology Inc. MCP1801 4.0 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. © 2009 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.

MCP1801 5.0 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 (10Ω) 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. © 2009 Microchip Technology Inc.

MCP1801 SHDN GND VOUT 1.8V VIN VOUT IOUT 50 mA COUT 1 µF Ceramic FIGURE 6-1: 6.1.1 VIN 2.4V to 5.0V CIN 1 µF Ceramic Package Type = Input Voltage Range = = Maximum continuous junction temperature PTOTAL = Total device power dissipation RθJA = Thermal resistance from junction to ambient TAMAX = Maximum ambient temperature The maximum power dissipation capability for a package can be calculated given the junction-toambient thermal resistance and the maximum ambient temperature for the application. The following equation can be used to determine the package maximum internal power dissipation. EQUATION 6-3: ( T J ( MAX ) – T A ( MAX ) ) P D ( MAX ) = --------------------------------------------------Rθ JA SOT-23-5 Where: PD(MAX) = Maximum device power dissipation TJ(MAX) = Maximum continuous junction temperature TA(MAX) = Maximum ambient temperature RθJA = Thermal resistance from junction to ambient 2.4V to 5.0V VIN maximum = 5.0V VOUT typical = 1.8V IOUT = 50 mA maximum Power Calculations 6.2.1 TJ(MAX) Typical Application Circuit. APPLICATION INPUT CONDITIONS 6.2 T J ( MAX ) = P TOTAL × Rθ JA + T AMAX Where: Typical Application NC EQUATION 6-2: POWER DISSIPATION 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 (25.0 µA x VIN). The following equation can be used to calculate the internal power dissipation of the LDO. EQUATION 6-1: P LDO = ( V IN ( MAX ) ) – V OUT ( MIN ) ) × I OUT ( MAX ) ) EQUATION 6-4: T J ( RISE ) = P D ( MAX ) × Rθ JA Where: TJ(RISE) = Rise in device junction temperature over the ambient temperature PTOTAL = Maximum device power dissipation RθJA = Thermal resistance from junction to ambient Where: PLDO = LDO Pass device internal power dissipation VIN(MAX) = Maximum input voltage VOUT(MIN) = LDO minimum output voltage The maximum continuous operating temperature specified for the MCP1801 is +85°C. To estimate the internal junction temperature of the MCP1801, the total internal power dissipation is multiplied by the thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RθJA). The thermal resistance from junction to ambient for the SOT-23-5 pin package is estimated at 256°C/W. © 2009 Microchip Technology Inc. EQUATION 6-5: T J = T J ( RISE ) + T A Where: TJ = Junction Temperature TJ(RISE) = Rise in device junction temperature over the ambient temperature TA = Ambient temperature DS22051C-page 17 MCP1801 6.3 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 Package Package Type: SOT-23-5 Input Voltage Junction Temperature Estimate 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. TJ = TJRISE + TA(MAX) TJ = 81.42°C Maximum Package Power Dissipation at +25°C Ambient Temperature SOT-23-5 (256°C/Watt = RθJA) VIN = 2.4V to 5.0V PD(MAX) = (85°C - 25°C) / 256°C/W LDO Output Voltages and Currents VOUT = 1.8V IOUT = 50 mA Maximum Ambient Temperature TA(MAX) = +40°C Internal Power Dissipation Internal Power dissipation is the product of the LDO 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 PLDO = 161.8 milli-Watts PD(MAX) = 234 milli-Watts 6.4 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. Device Junction Temperature Rise 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 (RθJA) 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. TJ(RISE) = PTOTAL x RqJA TJRISE = 161.8 milli-Watts x 256.0°C/Watt TJRISE = 41.42°C DS22051C-page 18 Ratio Metric Reference PIC® Microcontroller MCP1801 25 µA Bias CIN 1 µF VIN VOUT GND COUT 1 µF VREF ADO AD1 Bridge Sensor FIGURE 6-2: Using the MCP1801 as a Voltage Reference. 6.5 Pulsed Load Applications 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). © 2009 Microchip Technology Inc.
