BCT2050
Low Power, Low Dropout Regulators
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The BCT2050 series are low-power, low-noise,
low-dropout CMOS linear voltage regulators. They
are the perfect choice for low voltage, low power
applications. A low ground current makes this part
attractive for battery operated power systems. The
BCT2050 series also offer ultra-low dropout
voltage to prolong battery life in portable
electronics. Systems requiring a quiet voltage
sources, such as RF applications, will benefit from
the BCT2050 series ultra-low output noise
(30uVRMS) and high PSRR. An external noise
bypass capacitor connected to the device’s BP pin
can further reduce the noise level.
Other features include a 10nA logic-controlled
shutdown mode, foldback current limit and
thermal shutdown protection.
The BCT2050 is available in Green SOT23-5
packages. It operates over an ambient
temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Enable Function
The BCT2050 features an LDO regulator en-able/disable function. To assure the LDO regulator will
switch on; the EN turn on control level must be greater than 1.5 volts. The LDO regulator will go into the
shutdown mode when the voltage on the EN pin falls below 0.3 volts. For to protect the system, the
BCT2050 have a quick discharge function. If the enable function is not needed in a specific application, it
may be tied to VIN to keep the LDO regulator in a continuously on state.
Programming the BCT2050 Adjustable LDO regulator
The output voltage of the BCT2050 adjustable regulator is programmed using an external resistor divider
as show in Figure as below. The output voltage is calculated using equation as below:
R1
VOUT= VREF × 1 +
R2
Where:
VREF=0.8V typ (the internal reference voltage)
Resistors R1 and R2 should be chosen for approximately 50uA divider current. Lower value resistors can
be used for improved noise performance, but the solution consumes more power. Higher resistor values
should be avoided as leakage current into/out of FB across R1/R2 creates an offset voltage that artificially
increases/decreases the feedback voltage and thus erroneously decrease/increases VOUT.
Thermal Considerations
Thermal protection limits power dissipation in BCT2050. When the operation junction temperature
exceeds 150°C, the OTP circuit starts the thermal shutdown function turn the pass element off. The pass
element turns on again after the junction temperature cools by 15°C.
For continue operation, do not exceed absolute maximum operation junction temperature 150°C. The
power dissipation definition in device is:
PD = (VIN−VOUT) ×IOUT + VIN×IQ
The maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of IC package, PCB layout, the rate
of surroundings airflow and temperature difference between junction to ambient. The maximum power
dissipation can be calculated by following formula:
PD(MAX) = ( TJ(MAX) − TA ) /θJA
Where TJ(MAX) is the maximum operation junction temperature 150°C, TA is the ambient temperature
and the θJA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance. For recommended operating conditions
specification of BCT2050, where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature of the die (150°C) and TA
is the maximum ambient temperature. The junction to ambient thermal resistance (θJA is layout

dependent) for SOT23-5 package is 260°C/W, on standard JEDEC 51-3 thermal test board. The
maximum power dissipation at TA= 25°C can be calculated by following formula:
PD(MAX) = (150°C−25°C)/260 = 481mW (SOT23-5)
The maximum power dissipation depends on operating ambient temperature for fixed TJ(MAX) and
thermal resistance θJA. It is also useful to calculate the junction of temperature of the BCT2050 under a
set of specific conditions. In this example let the Input voltage VIN=3.3V, the output current Io=300mA and
the case temperature TA=40°C measured by a thermal couple during operation. The power dissipation for
the Vo=2.8V of the BCT2050 can be calculated as:
PD = (3.3V−2.8V) ×300mA+3.6V×30uA
=150.108mW
And the junction temperature, TJ, can be calculated as follows:
TJ=TA+PD×θJA=40°C+0.15W×260°C/W
=40°C+39°C=79°C
