Frequently Asked Questions
How does TC1016-3.0VCTTR perform when powered from a USB 5 V source in a sensor node design?
TC1016-3.0VCTTR accepts up to 6 V input, and from a USB 5 V bus it produces a stable 3.0 V output with only 0.15 V typical dropout. At 150 mA output, there is ample headroom of approximately 1.85 V above the dropout threshold, ensuring tight regulation for microcontrollers and wireless modules operating from the USB rail.
What current can TC1016-3.0VCTTR supply, and is it enough for a typical BLE module plus microcontroller combination?
TC1016-3.0VCTTR is rated for 150 mA continuous output at 3.0 V. Most Bluetooth Low Energy modules draw 10 mA to 30 mA during transmission, and small microcontrollers draw under 50 mA in active mode, so the combined load of 40 mA to 80 mA sits comfortably within the 150 mA rating.
Is TC1016-3.0VCTTR available in tape-and-reel format for automated SMT assembly?
Yes. The TC1016-3.0VCTTR uses the TR suffix indicating tape-and-reel packaging in the 5-pin SOT-23 form factor, compatible with standard pick-and-place machines. This makes it straightforward to integrate into high-volume SMT production lines without additional handling or repackaging steps.
How does TC1016-3.0VCTTR's 5-pin SOT-23 footprint benefit board-space-constrained IoT designs?
The SOT-23-5 package occupies a PCB footprint of approximately 1.6 mm x 2.9 mm, among the smallest available for a linear regulator with 150 mA capability. This allows designers to fit the 3.0 V power supply stage in very tight board areas alongside the MCU and RF components in miniaturized IoT module designs.
