About this manual

The TC1269 is a 300 mA CMOS low‑dropout regulator featuring ultra‑low ground current, low dropout voltage, shutdown mode, and optional bypass input for ultra‑quiet operation. It is intended for battery‑operated systems, portable computers, medical instruments, and other portable electronics.

The device provides over‑temperature and over‑current protection, operates from –40 °C to +125 °C, and is supplied in an 8‑Pin MSOP package. Electrical specifications include a typical supply current of 50 µA at full load, a shutdown current of about 0.05 µA, and a typical dropout voltage of 240 mV. Recommended external components are a 1 µF output capacitor and an optional 470 pF bypass capacitor to reduce output noise.
