3Description
The TLV700xx-Q1 series of low-dropout (LDO) linear
regulators are low quiescent current devices with
excellent line and load transient performance. These
LDOs are designed for power-sensitive applications.
A precision bandgap and error amplifier provides
overall 2% accuracy. Low output noise, high powersupply rejection ratio (PSRR), andlow-dropout
voltage make this series of devices ideal for a wide
selection of battery-operated handheld equipment. All
device versions have thermal shutdown and current
limit for safety.
Furthermore, these devices are stable with an
effective output capacitance of only 0.1 μF. This
feature enables the use of cost-effective capacitors
that have higher bias voltages and temperature
derating. The devices regulate to specified accuracy
with no output load.

The TLV700xx-Q1 family of low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators are low-quiescent-current devices with excellent
line and load transient performance. These LDOs are designed for power-sensitive applications. A precision
bandgap and error amplifier provides overall 2% accuracy together with low output noise, very high power-supply
rejection ratio (PSRR), and low dropout voltage.
7.2 Functional Block Diagrams
7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Internal Current Limit
The TLV70018-Q1 internal current limit helps to protect the regulator during fault conditions. During current limit,
the output sources a fixed amount of current that is largely independent of the output voltage. In such a case, the
output voltage is not regulated, and is V
I
until thermal shutdown is triggered and the device turns off. As the device cools, it is turned on by the
LIMIT
internal thermal shutdown circuit. If the fault condition continues, the device cycles between current limit and
thermal shutdown. See the Thermal Considerations section for more details.
The PMOS pass element in the TLV70018-Q1 has a built-in body diode that conducts current when the voltage
at OUT exceeds the voltage at IN. This current is not limited, so if extended reverse voltage operation is
anticipated, external limiting to 5% of the rated output current is recommended.
7.3.2 Dropout Voltage
The TLV70018-Q1 uses a PMOS pass transistor to achieve low dropout. When (VIN– V
dropout voltage (VDO), the PMOS pass device is in the linear region of operation and the input-to-output
resistance is the R
DS(ON)
of the PMOS pass element. VDOscales approximately with output current because the
PMOS device behaves as a resistor in dropout.
As with any linear regulator, PSRR and transient response are degraded as (VIN– V
The TLV70018-Q1 uses an undervoltage lockout circuit to keep the output shut off until internal circuitry is
operating properly.
7.3.4 Thermal Shutdown
Thermal protection disables the output when the junction temperature rises to approximately 160°C, allowing the
device to cool. When the junction temperature cools to approximately 140°C, the output circuitry is again
enabled. Depending on power dissipation, thermal resistance, and ambient temperature, the thermal protection
circuit may cycle on and off. This cycling limits the dissipation of the regulator, protecting it from damage as a
result of overheating.
Any tendency to activate the thermal protection circuit indicates excessive power dissipation or an inadequate
heatsink. For reliable operation, junction temperature should be limited to 125°C maximum. To estimate the
margin of safety in a complete design (including heatsink), increase the ambient temperature until the thermal
protection is triggered; use worst-case loads and signal conditions. For good reliability, thermal protection should
trigger at least 35°C above the maximum expected ambient condition of the particular application. This
configuration produces a worst-case junction temperature of 125°C at the highest expected ambient temperature
and worst-case load.
The internal protection circuitry of the TLV700xx-Q1 has been designed to protect against overload conditions. It
was not intended to replace proper heatsinking. Continuously running the TLV700xx-Q1 into thermal shutdown
degrades device reliability.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Shutdown
The enable pin (EN) is active high. The device is enabled when voltage at EN pin goes above 0.9 V. This
relatively lower value of voltage required to turn the LDO on can be exploited to power the LDO with a GPIO of
recent processors whose GPIO Logic 1 voltage level is lower than traditional microcontrollers. The device is
turned off when the EN pin is held at less than 0.4 V. When shutdown capability is not required, EN can be
connected to the IN pin.
7.4.2 Operation with VINLess than 2 V
The TLV700xx-Q1 family of devices operates with input voltages above 2 V. The typical UVLO voltage is 1.9 V
and the device operates at an input voltage above 2 V. When input voltage falls below UVLO voltage, the device
will shutdown.
7.4.3 Operation with VINGreater than 2 V
When VINis greater than 2 V, if input voltage is higher than desired output voltage plus dropout voltage, the
output voltage is equal to the desired value. Otherwise, output voltage will be VINminus dropout voltage.

specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The TLV700xx-Q1 belongs to a new family of next-generation value LDO regulators. These devices consume
low quiescent current and deliver excellent line and load transient performance. These characteristics, combined
with low noise and very good PSRR with little (VIN– V
portable RF applications. This family of regulators offers current limit and thermal protection, and is specified
from –40°C to 125°C.
The TLV700xx is a 200-mA, low quiescent current, low noise, high PSRR, fast start-up LDO linear regulator with
excellent line and load transient response. The TLV700xxEVM-503 evaluation module (EVM) helps designers
evaluate the operation and performance of the TLV700xx family.

8.2.1 Design Requirements
For this design example use, the parameters listed in Table 1 as the input parameters.
1.0-μF X5R- and X7R-type ceramic capacitors are recommended because these capacitors have minimal
variation in value and equivalent series resistance (ESR) over temperature.
However, the TLV70018-Q1 is designed to be stable with an effective capacitance of 0.1 μF or larger at the
output. Thus, the device is stable with capacitors of other dielectric types as well, as long as the effective
capacitance under operating bias voltage and temperature is greater than 0.1 μF. This effective capacitance
refers to the capacitance that the LDO sees under operating bias voltage and temperature conditions; that is, the
capacitance after taking both bias voltage and temperature derating into consideration. In addition to allowing the
use of lower-cost dielectrics, this capability of being stable with 0.1-μF effective capacitance also enables the use
of smaller-footprint capacitors that have higher derating in size- and space-constrained applications.
NOTE
Using a 0.1-μF rated capacitor at the output of the LDO does not ensure stability because
the effective capacitance under the specified operating conditions would be less than
0.1 μF. Maximum ESR should be less than 200 mΩ.
Although an input capacitor is not required for stability, it is good analog design practice to connect a 0.1-μF to
1.0-μF, low ESR capacitor across the IN pin and GND pin of the regulator. This capacitor counteracts reactive
input sources and improves transient response, noise rejection, and ripple rejection. A higher-value capacitor
may be necessary if large, fast rise-time load transients are anticipated, or if the device is not located close to the
power source. If source impedance is more than 2 Ω, a 0.1-μF input capacitor may be necessary to ensure
stability.
8.2.2.2 Transient Response
As with any regulator, increasing the size of the output capacitor reduces overshoot or undershoot magnitude but
increases the duration of the transient response.
8.2.3 Application Curve
Figure 24. Power Up
9Power Supply Recommendations
The device is designed to operate from an input-voltage supply range between 2 V and 5.5 V. This input supply
must be well regulated. If the input supply is located more than a few inches from the device, TI recommends
adding a capacitor with a value of 0.1 µF and a ceramic bypass capacitor at the input.
Input and output capacitors should be placed as close to the device pins as possible. To improve AC
performance such as PSRR, output noise, and transient response, it is recommended that the board be designed
with separate ground planes for VINand V
device. In addition, the ground connection for the output capacitor should be connected directly to the GND pin of
the device. High ESR capacitors may degrade PSRR performance.

10.3 Thermal Considerations
Thermal protection disables the output when the junction temperature rises to approximately 165°C, allowing the
device to cool. When the junction temperature cools to approximately 145°C, the output circuitry is again
enabled. Depending on power dissipation, thermal resistance, and ambient temperature, the thermal protection
circuit may cycle on and off. This cycling limits the dissipation of the regulator, protecting it from damage as a
result of overheating.
Any tendency to activate the thermal protection circuit indicates excessive power dissipation or an inadequate
heatsink. For reliable operation, junction temperature should be limited to 125°C maximum.
To estimate the margin of safety in a complete design (including heatsink), increase the ambient temperature
until the thermal protection is triggered; use worst-case loads and signal conditions.
The internal protection circuitry of the TLV70018-Q1 has been designed to protect against overload conditions. It
was not intended to replace proper heatsinking. Continuously running the TLV70018-Q1 into thermal shutdown
degrades device reliability.
10.4 Power Dissipation
The ability to remove heat from the die is different for each package type, presenting different considerations in
the printed circuit board (PCB) layout. The PCB area around the device that is free of other components moves
the heat from the device to the ambient air.
Thermal performance data for TLV70018-Q1 were gathered using the TLV700 evaluation module (EVM), a 2layer board with two ounces of copper per side. The dimensions and layout for the SOT23-5 (DBV) EVM are
shown in and . Corresponding thermal performance data are given in Thermal Information. Note that this board
has provision for soldering not only the SOT23-5 package on the bottom layer, but also the SC-70 package on
the top layer. Using heavier copper increases the effectiveness in removing heat from the device. The addition of
plated through-holes to heat-dissipating layers also improves heatsink effectiveness.
Power dissipation depends on input voltage and load conditions. Power dissipation (PD) is equal to the product of
the output current and the voltage drop across the output pass element, as shown in Equation 1.
