description (continued)
Because the PMOS device behaves as a low-value resistor, the dropout voltage is very low (typically 260 mV
at an output current of 750 mA for the TPS77x33) and is directly proportional to the output current. Additionally ,
since the PMOS pass element is a voltage-driven device, the quiescent current is very low and independent
of output loading (typically 85 µA over the full range of output current, 0 mA to 750 mA). These two key
specifications yield a significant improvement in operating life for battery-powered systems. This LDO family
also features a sleep mode; applying a TTL high signal to EN
quiescent current to 1 µA at TJ = 25°C.
The RESET output of the TPS777xx initiates a reset in microcomputer and microprocessor systems in the event
of an undervoltage condition. An internal comparator in the TPS777xx monitors the output voltage of the
regulator to detect an undervoltage condition on the regulated output voltage.
Power good (PG) of the TPS778xx is an active high output, which can be used to implement a power-on reset
or a low-battery indicator.
The TPS777xx and TPS778xx are offered in 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V fixed-voltage versions and in an
adjustable version (programmable over the range of 1.5 V to 5.5 V for TPS77701 option and 1.2 V to 5.5 V for
TPS77801 option). Output voltage tolerance is specified as a maximum of 2% over line, load, and temperature
ranges. The TPS777xx and TPS778xx families are available in 8 pin SOIC and 20 pin PWP packages.

FAST-TRANSIENT-RESPONSE 750-mA LOW-DROPOUT VOLTAGE REGULATORS
SLVS230A – SEPTEMBER 1999 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 1999
APPLICATION INFORMATION
The TPS777xx and TPS778xx families include four fixed-output voltage regulators (1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and
3.3 V), and an adjustable regulator, the TPS77x01 (adjustable from 1.5 V to 5.5 V for TPS77701 option and 1.2
V to 5.5 V for TPS77801 option).
device operation
The TPS777xx and TPS778xx feature very low quiescent current, which remains virtually constant even with
varying loads. Conventional LDO regulators use a pnp pass element, the base current of which is directly
proportional to the load current through the regulator (IB = IC/β). The TPS777xx and TPS778xx use a PMOS
transistor to pass current; because the gate of the PMOS is voltage driven, operating current is low and
invariable over the full load range.
Another pitfall associated with the pnp-pass element is its tendency to saturate when the device goes into
dropout. The resulting drop in β forces an increase in IB to maintain the load. During power up, this translates
to large start-up currents. Systems with limited supply current may fail to start up. In battery-powered systems,
it means rapid battery discharge when the voltage decays below the minimum required for regulation. The
TPS777xx and TPS778xx quiescent currents remain low even when the regulator drops out, eliminating both
problems.
The TPS777xx and TPS778xx families also feature a shutdown mode that places the output in the
high-impedance state (essentially equal to the feedback-divider resistance) and reduces quiescent current to
2 µA. If the shutdown feature is not used, EN
regulated output voltage is typically reestablished in 120 µs.
should be tied to ground. Response to an enable transition is quick;
minimum load requirements
The TPS777xx and TPS778xx families are stable even at zero load; no minimum load is required for operation.
FB - pin connection (adjustable version only)
The FB pin is an input pin to sense the output voltage and close the loop for the adjustable option . The output
voltage is sensed through a resistor divider network to close the loop as it is shown in Figure 25. Normally , this
connection should be as short as possible; however, the connection can be made near a critical circuit to
improve performance at that point. Internally , FB connects to a high-impedance wide-bandwidth amplifier and
noise pickup feeds through to the regulator output. Routing the FB connection to minimize/avoid noise pickup
is essential.
external capacitor requirements
An input capacitor is not usually required; however, a ceramic bypass capacitor (0.047 µF or larger) improves
load transient response and noise rejection if the TPS777xx or TPS778xx are located more than a few inches
from the power supply. A higher-capacitance electrolytic capacitor may be necessary if large (hundreds of
milliamps) load transients with fast rise times are anticipated.
Like all low dropout regulators, the TPS777xx and TPS778xx require an output capacitor connected between
OUT and GND to stabilize the internal control loop. The minimum recommended capacitance value is 10 µF
and the ESR (equivalent series resistance) must be between 50 mΩ and 1.5 Ω. Capacitor values 10 µF or larger
are acceptable, provided the ESR is less than 1.5 Ω. Solid tantalum electrolytic, aluminum electrolytic, and
multilayer ceramic capacitors are all suitable, provided they meet the requirements described previously.

Resistors R1 and R2 should be chosen for approximately 10-µA divider current. Lower value resistors can be
used but offer no inherent advantage and waste more power. Higher values should be avoided as leakage
currents at FB increase the output voltage error. The recommended design procedure is to choose
R2 = 110 kΩ to set the divider current at approximately 10 µA and then calculate R1 using:

APPLICATION INFORMATION
reset indicator
The TPS777xx features a RESET output that can be used to monitor the status of the regulator. The internal
comparator monitors the output voltage: when the output drops to between 92% and 98% of its nominal
regulated value, the RESET output transistor turns on, taking the signal low. The open-drain output requires
a pullup resistor. If not used, it can be left floating. RESET
a low-battery indicator. RESET does not assert itself when the regulated output voltage falls outside the
specified 2% tolerance, but instead reports an output voltage low relative to its nominal regulated value (refer
to timing diagram for start-up sequence).
power-good indicator
The TPS778xx features a power-good (PG) output that can be used to monitor the status of the regulator. The
internal comparator monitors the output voltage: when the output drops to between 92% and 98% of its nominal
regulated value, the PG output transistor turns on, taking the signal low. The open-drain output requires a pullup
resistor. If not used, it can be left floating. PG can be used to drive power-on reset circuitry or used as a
low-battery indicator.

regulator protection
The TPS777xx and TPS778xx PMOS-pass transistors have a built-in back diode that conducts reverse currents
when the input voltage drops below the output voltage (e.g., during power down). Current is conducted from
the output to the input and is not internally limited. When extended reverse voltage is anticipated, external
limiting may be appropriate.
The TPS777xx and TPS778xx also feature internal current limiting and thermal protection. During normal
operation, the TPS777xx and TPS778xx limit output current to approximately 1.7 A. When current limiting
engages, the output voltage scales back linearly until the overcurrent condition ends. While current limiting is
designed to prevent gross device failure, care should be taken not to exceed the power dissipation ratings of
the package. If the temperature of the device exceeds 150°C(typ), thermal-protection circuitry shuts it down.
Once the device has cooled below 130°C(typ), regulator operation resumes.
