MCP1710
Ultra Low Quiescent Current LDO Regulator
Features
Description
•
•
•
•
•
•
The MCP1710 is a 200 mA for VR ≤ 3.5V, 100 mA for
VR 3.5V, Low Dropout (LDO) linear regulator that
provides high-current and low-output voltages, while
maintaining an ultra low 20 nA of quiescent current
during device operation. In addition, the MCP1710 can
be shut down for an even lower 0.1 nA (typical) supply
current draw. The MCP1710 comes in eight standard,
fixed output voltage versions: 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2V,
2.5V, 3V, 3.3V and 4.2V. The 200 mA output current
capability, combined with the low-output voltage
capability, make the MCP1710 a good choice for new
ultra long life LDO applications that have high-current
demands, but require ultra low-power consumption
during Sleep states.

Ultra Low Consumption “Green” Products
Portable Electronics
The MCP1710 is stable using ceramic output
capacitors that inherently provide lower output noise,
and reduce the size and cost of the entire regulator
solution. Only 1 µF (2.2 µF recommended) of output
capacitance is needed to stabilize the LDO.
The MCP1710 device’s ultra low quiescent and
shutdown current allows it to be paired with other ultra
low-current draw devices, such as Microchip’s XLP
technology devices, for a complete ultra low-power
solution.

The minimum VIN must meet two conditions: VIN VIN(Min) and VIN VR VDROPOUT(Max).
VR is the nominal regulator output voltage. VR = 1.2V, 2.5V, etc.
Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to-output voltage differential at which the output voltage drops 3%
below its nominal value that was measured with an input voltage of VIN = VOUT(Max) + VDROPOUT(Max).
The junction temperature is approximated by soaking the device under test at an ambient temperature
equal to the desired junction temperature. The test time is small enough such that the rise in the junction
temperature over the ambient temperature is not significant.

Ground Pin (GND)
3.4
Input Voltage Supply Pin (VIN)
For optimal noise and Power Supply Rejection Ratio
(PSRR) performance, the GND pin of the LDO should
be tied to an electrically quiet circuit ground. This will
help the LDO Power Supply Rejection Ratio and noise
performance. The GND pin of the LDO only conducts
the ground current, so a heavy trace is not required.
For applications that have switching or noisy inputs, tie
the GND pin to the return of the output capacitor.
Ground planes help lower the inductance and voltage
spikes caused by fast transient load currents.
Connect the unregulated or regulated input voltage
source to VIN. If the input voltage source is located
several inches away from the LDO, or the input source
is a battery, it is recommended that an input capacitor
be used. A typical input capacitance value of 1 µF to
10 µF should be sufficient for most applications (2.2 µF,
typical). The type of capacitor used can be ceramic,
tantalum, or aluminum-electrolytic. The low-ESR
characteristics of the ceramic capacitor will yield better
noise and PSRR performance at high frequency.
3.2
3.5
Regulated Output Voltage Pin
(VOUT)
The VOUT pin is the regulated output voltage of the
LDO. A minimum output capacitance of 1.0 µF is
required for LDO stability. The MCP1710 is stable
with ceramic, tantalum and aluminum-electrolytic
capacitors. See Section 4.2 “Output Capacitor” for
output capacitor selection guidance.
3.3
Feedback Pin (FB)
The output voltage is connected to the FB input. This
sets the output voltage regulation value.

Shutdown Control 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. When the SHDN input is
pulled low, the LDO enters a low quiescent current
shutdown state, where the typical quiescent current is
0.1 nA.
3.6
Exposed Thermal Pad (EP)
The VDFN-8 package has an exposed thermal pad on
the bottom of the package. The exposed thermal pad
gives the device better thermal characteristics by
providing a good thermal path to either the Printed
Circuit Board (PCB), or heat sink, to remove heat from
the device. The exposed pad of the package is at
ground potential.

DEVICE OVERVIEW
The MCP1710 is a 100 mA/200 mA output current, Low
Dropout (LDO) voltage regulator. The Low Dropout
voltage of 450 mV maximum, at 200 mA of current,
makes it ideal for battery-powered applications. The input
voltage ranges from 2.5V to 5.5V. The MCP1710 adds a
shutdown control input pin. The MCP1710 is available in
eight standard fixed output voltage options: 1.2V, 1.5V,
1.8V, 2V, 2.5V, 3.0V, 3.3V and 4.2V. The MCP1710 uses
a proprietary voltage reference and sensing scheme to
maintain the ultra low 20 nA quiescent current.
4.1
Output Current and Current
Limiting
The MCP1710 LDO is tested and ensured to supply a
minimum of 200 mA of output current for the 1.2V to
3.5V output range, and 100 mA of output current for the
3.5V to 4.2V output range. The MCP1710 has no
minimum output load, so the output load current can go
to 0 mA and the LDO will continue to regulate the
output voltage within the specified tolerance.
The MCP1710 also incorporates an output current limit.
The current limit is set to 250 mA, typical, for the
1.2V VR ≤3.5V range, and 175 mA, typical, for the
3.5V VR 5.5V range.
4.2
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, as well as the effects of any
inductance that exists between the input source
voltage and the input capacitance of the LDO.
4.4
The SHDN input is an active-low input signal that turns
the LDO on and off. The SHDN threshold is a
percentage of the input voltage. The maximum input
low logic level is 30% of VIN and the minimum high logic
level is 70% of VIN.
On the rising edge of the SHDN input, the shutdown
circuitry has a 30 ms (typical) delay before allowing the
LDO output to turn on. This delay helps to reject any
false turn-on signal or noise on the SHDN input signal.
After the 30 ms delay, the LDO output enters its
current-limited soft start period as it rises from 0V to its
final regulation value. If the SHDN input signal is pulled
low during the 30 ms delay period, the timer will be
reset and the delay time will start over again on the next
rising edge of the SHDN input. The total time from the
SHDN input going high (turn on) to the LDO output
being in regulation is typically 30 ms. See Figure 4-1 for
a timing diagram of the SHDN input.
Output Capacitor
TOR
The MCP1710 requires a minimum output capacitance
of 1 µF for output voltage stability. Ceramic capacitors
are recommended because of their size, cost and
robust environmental 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 m.
4.3
Shutdown Input (SHDN)
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 1.0 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 a
low-impedance source of current for the LDO to use for
dynamic load changes. This allows the LDO 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

Dropout Voltage
Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to-output voltage
differential at which the output voltage drops 3% below
the nominal value that was measured with a VR + 0.8V
differential applied. The MCP1710 LDO has a Low
Dropout voltage specification of 450 mV for the
1.2V VR ≤ 3.5V range (typical) at 200 mA out, and
400 mV for the 3.5V VR 5.5V range (typical) at
100 mA
out.

The total power dissipated within the MCP1710 is the
sum of the power dissipated in the LDO pass device
and the P(IGND) term. Because of the CMOS
construction, the typical IGND for the MCP1710 is
200 µA at full load. Operating at a maximum VIN of 5.5V
results in a power dissipation of 1.1 mW. For most
applications, this is small compared to the LDO pass
device power dissipation and can be neglected.
The maximum continuous operating junction temperature specified for the MCP1710 is +85°C. To estimate the
internal junction temperature of the MCP1710, the total
internal power dissipation is multiplied by the thermal
resistance from junction-to-ambient (RJA) of the device.
The thermal resistance from junction-to-ambient for the
2 x 2 VDFN-8 package is estimated at 73.1°C/W.

Power Calculations
5.2.1
POWER DISSIPATION
The internal power dissipation within the MCP1710 is a
function of input voltage, output voltage, output current
and quiescent current. Equation 5-1 can be used to
calculate the internal power dissipation for the LDO.
EQUATION 5-1:
P LDO = VIN MAX – V OUT MIN I OUT MAX
Where:
PLDO = Internal power dissipation of the
LDO pass device
VIN(MAX) = Maximum input voltage
T J MAX = PTOTAL R JA + T A MAX
Where:
TJ(MAX) = Maximum continuous junction

PTOTAL = Total power dissipation of the device
RJA = Thermal resistance from junction to
ambient
TA(MAX) = Maximum ambient temperature
The maximum power dissipation capability for a
package
can
be
calculated
given
the
junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and the maximum ambient temperature for the application.
Equation 5-4 can be used to determine the package
maximum internal power dissipation.

In addition to the LDO pass element power dissipation,
there is power dissipation within the MCP1710 as a
result of quiescent or ground current. The power
dissipation as a result of the ground current can be
calculated using Equation 5-2:

Typical Application Examples
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.
5.3.1
5.3.1.1
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 (RJA), is
derived from the EIA/JEDEC standards for measuring
thermal resistance. The EIA/JEDEC specification is
JESD51. 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 SOT23 Can Dissipate in an Application” (DS00792), for more information regarding this
subject.
EXAMPLE 5-2:
TJ(RISE) = PTOTAL x RJA
TJ(RISE) = 0.206W x 73.1°C/W
TJ(RISE) = 15.1°C

EXAMPLE 5-3:
TJ = TJ(RISE) + TA(MAX)
TJ = 15.1°C + 60.0°C
