Microchip Technology

The TC1044S is a pin-compatible upgrade to the Industry standard TC7660 charge pump voltage converter. It converts a +1.5V to +12V input to a corresponding –1.5V to –12V output using only two low cost capacitors, eliminating inductors and their associated cost, size and EMI. Added features include an extended supply range to 12V, and a frequency boost pin for higher operating frequency, allowing the use of smaller external capacitors. Theon-boardoscillatoroperates atanominalfrequency of 10kHz. Frequency is increased to 45kHz when pin 1 is connected to V + . Operation below 10kHz (for lower supply current applications) is possible by connecting an external capacitor from OSC to ground (with pin 1 open). The TC1044S is available in both 8-pin DIP and 8-pin small outline (SOIC) packages in commercial and extended temperature ranges.

The TC1046 is a linear output temperature sensor whose output voltage is directly proportional to measured temperature. The TC1046 can accurately measure temperature from -40C to +125C. The output voltage range for this device is typically 174 mV at -40°C, 424 mV at 0C, 580 mV at +25C, and 1205 mV at +125C. A 6.25 mV/°C voltage slope allows for the wide temperature range. The TC1046 is packaged in space saving 3-Pin SOT-23B package, making it ideal for space critical applications.

The TC1047A is a linear output temperature sensor whose output voltage is directly proportional to measured temperature. The TC1047A can accurately measure temperature from -40°C to +125°C. For the TC1047A, the output voltage range is typically 100mV at -40°C, 500mV at 0°C, 750mV at +25°C, and 1.75V at +125°C. A 10mV/°C voltage slope allows for the wide temperature range. The TC1047A is packaged in space saving 3-Pin SOT-23B packages, making them ideal for space critical applications.

The TC105 is a step-down (Buck) switching controller that furnishes output currents of up to 1A (max) while delivering a typical efficiency of 92%. The TC105 normally operates in pulse width modulation mode (PWM), but automatically switches to pulse frequency modulation (PFM) at low output loads for greater efficiency. Oscillator frequency is 300 KHz, allowing use of small (22 µH) inductors. Supply current draw is only 102 µA (max), and is reduced to less than 0.5 µA when the SHDN input is brought low. Regulator operation is suspended during shutdown. The TC105 accepts a maximum input voltage of 10V. The TC105 is housed in a tiny 5-pin SOT-23A package, occupies minimum board space, and is ideal for a wide range of applications.

The TC1054, TC1055, and TC1186 are high accuracy (typically ±0.5%) CMOS upgrades for older (bipolar) low dropout regulators. Designed specifically for battery-operated systems, the devices’ 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). The devices’ key features include ultra low noise operation, very low dropout voltage — typically 85mV (TC1054); 180mV (TC1055); and 270mV (TC1186) at full load — and fast response to step changes in load. An error output (ERROR) is asserted when the devices are 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 (with the addition of an external RC network). Supply current is reduced to 0.5µA (max) and both VOUT and ERROR are disabled when the shut-down input is low. The devices incorporate both over-temperature and over-current protection. The TC1054, TC1055, and TC1186 are stable with an output capacitor of only 1µF and have a maximum output current of 50mA, 100mA, and 150mA, respectively. For higher output current regulators, please see the TC1173 (IOUT = 300mA) data sheet.
