Toshiba start mass production of TCR3LM Series, low-current LDO regulators, packaged in DFN4D at Toshiba Semiconductor Thailand.

Demand for IoT communication modules and wearable devices and any mobiles is increasing. While batteries are getting smaller with the demand for initialization, longer battery life is required. In order to achieve long-term operation of the equipment, it is necessary to keep the power consumption of the equipment itself low. One of important things is to keep the current consumption low when devices are in the standby state. The battery will be in standby mode except during operations such as data transfer, but this standby mode will occupy most of the day.

In other words, by keeping the current consumption in this standby state low, it is possible to keep the current consumption of the device itself low, and as a result, it is possible to realize long-time operation even with a small battery capacity.

The new TCR3LM series-a LDO regulator with low current consumption-contributes to reduce the power consumption of equipment. Drop-out performance is improved compared to our another low current LDO TCR2LN series-type. TCR3LM series also offers improved load transient response. This enables more stable output against load fluctuations. In addition, we offer an extensive lineup of output voltage products. Since the max. output current is 300 mA, you can select the best device including our existing-product TCR2LN series. It can be used for a wide range of applications.

TCR3LM series are in surface-mount-type compact, low-profile DFN4D packaging. In addition, small ceramic types can be used for input and output capacitors, making them suitable for power supply lines for mobile devices, wearable devices, and other small devices that require high-density mounting.
