MCP1711
150 mA Ultra-Low Quiescent Current, Capacitorless LDO Regulator
Features
General Description
• Low Quiescent Current: 600 nA
• Input Voltage Range: 1.4V to 6.0V
The MCP1711 is a highly accurate CMOS low dropout
(LDO) voltage regulator that can deliver up to 150 mA
of current while consuming only 0.6 µA of quiescent
current (typical). The input operating range is specified
from 1.4V to 6.0V, making it an ideal choice for mobile
applications and one-cell Li-Ion powered applications.
• Standard Output Voltages: 1.2V, 1.8V, 1.9V, 2.2V,
2.5V, 3.0V, 3.3V, 5.0V
• Output Accuracy: ±20 mV for 1.2V and 1.8V
Options and ±1% for VR > 2.0V
The MCP1711 is capable of delivering 150 mA output
current with only 0.32V (typical) for VR = 5.0V, and
1.41V (typical) for VR = 1.2V of input-to-output voltages
differential. The output voltage accuracy of the
MCP1711 is typically ± 0.02V for VR < 2.0V and ±1% for
VR > 2.0V at +25°C. The temperature stability is
approximately ±50 ppm/°C. Line regulation is
±0.01%/V typical at +25°C.
• Temperature Stability: ±50 ppm/°C
• Maximum Output Current: 150 mA
• Low ON Resistance: 3.3 @ VR = 3.0V
• Standby Current: 10 nA
• Protection Circuits: Current Limiter, Short Circuit,
Foldback
• SHDN Pin Function: ON/OFF Logic = Enable
High
The output voltages available for the MCP1711 range
from 1.2V to 5.0V. The LDO output is stable even if an
output capacitor is not connected, due to an excellent
internal phase compensation. However, for better tran-
sient responses, the output capacitor should be added.
The MCP1711 is compatible with low ESR ceramic
output capacitors.
• COUT Discharge Circuit when SHDN Function is
Active
• Output Capacitor: Low Equivalent Series
Resistance (ESR) Ceramic, Capacitorless
Compatible
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to +85°C
(Industrial)
Overcurrent limit and short-circuit protection embed-
ded into the device provide a robust solution for any
application.
• Available Packages:
- 4-Lead 1 x 1 mm UQFN
- 5-Lead SOT-23
The MCP1711 has a true current foldback feature.
When the load decreases beyond the MCP1711 load
rating, the output current and output voltage will
foldback toward 80 mA (typical) at approximately 0V
output. When the load impedance increases and
returns to the rated load, the MCP1711 will follow the
same foldback curve as the device comes out of
current foldback.
• Environmentally Friendly: EU RoHS Compliant,
Lead-Free
Applications
• Energy Harvesting
• Long-Life, Battery-Powered Applications
• Portable Electronics
If the device is in Shutdown mode, by inputting a
low-level signal to the SHDN pin, the current
consumption is reduced to less than 0.1 µA (typically
0.01 µA). In Shutdown mode, if the output capacitor is
used, it will be discharged via the internal dedicated
switch and, as a result, the output voltage quickly
returns to 0V.
