PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
TC1054
TC1054
50mA CMOS LDO WITH SHUTDOWN AND ERROR OUTPUT
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
TheTC1054isahighaccuracy(typically±0.5%)CMOS
upgrade for older (bipolar) low dropout regulators. De-
signed specifically for battery-operated systems, the
TC1054’s CMOS construction eliminates wasted ground
current, significantly extending battery life. Total supply
current is typically 50µA at full load (20 to 60 times lower
than in bipolar regulators!).
TC1054 key features include ultra low noise operation,
very low dropout voltage (typically 100mV at full load) and
internal feed-forward compensation for fast response to
step changes in load. An error output (ERROR) is asserted
when the TC1054 is out-of-regulation (due to a low input
voltage or excessive output current). ERROR can be used
as a low battery warning or as a processor RESET signal
(withtheadditionofanexternalRCnetwork).Supplycurrent
is reduced to less than 1µA, and both VOUT and ERROR
are disabled when the shutdown input is low. The TC1054
incorporates both over-temperature and over-current pro-
tection.

The TC1054 is stable with an output capacitor of only
1µF and has a maximum output current of 50mA. For higher
output current regulators, please see the TC1055
(IOUT = 100mA) regulator and TC1107, TC1108 (IOUT
300mA) data sheets.
