LOW DROPOUT (LDO)

VOLTAGE REGULATOR

The PIC16F193X has an internal Low Dropout

Regulator (LDO) which provides operation above 3.6V.

The LDO regulates a voltage for the internal device

logic while permitting the VDD and I/O pins to operate

at a higher voltage. There is no user enable/disable

control available for the LDO, it is always active. The

PIC16LF193X operates at a maximum VDD of 3.6V and

does not incorporate an LDO.

A device I/O pin may be configured as the LDO voltage

output, identified as the VCAP pin. Although not

required, an external low-ESR capacitor may be

connected to the VCAP pin for additional regulator

stability.

The VCAPEN<1:0> bits of Configuration Words

determines which pin is assigned as the VCAP pin.

Refer to Table 8-1.

On power-up, the external capacitor will load the LDO

voltage regulator. To prevent erroneous operation, the

device is held in Reset while a constant current source

charges the external capacitor. After the cap is fully

charged, the device is released from Reset. For more

information on the constant current rate, refer to the

LDO Regulator Characteristics Table in Section 30.0

“Electrical Specifications”.
