GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The TC1014 is a high accuracy (typically ±0.5) CMOS upgrade for older (bipolar) low dropout regulators such as the LP2980. Designed specifically for battery-operated systems, the TC1014’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!).

TC1014 key features include ultra low-noise operation (plus optional Bypass input); very low dropout voltage (typically 95mV at full load) and internal feed-forward compensation for fast response to step changes in load. Supply current is reduced to less than 1µA when the shutdown input is low. The TC1014 also incorporates both over-temperature and over-current protection.

The TC1014 is stable with an output capacitor of only 1µF and has a maximum output current of 100mA. For higher output versions, please see the TC1107, TC1108, TC1173 (IOUT = 300mA) data sheets.

TC1185属于集成电路（IC） > 线性 + 开关稳压器。微芯科技股份有限公司制造生产的TC1185稳压器 - 线性线性稳压器用于提供稳定的输出电压，无论负载电流、输入电压或环境因素如何变化，这些输出电压通常都要保持不变。它们的工作原理要求输入电压维持在高于所需的输出电压，而且要超出某个最小量，并且在工作时会将输入端的任何多余电压转换为热量。对于大多数应用而言，虽然这种稳压器的效率低于开关模式的稳压器，但它们通常更适合对噪声高度敏感的应用。
