The TPS730 family of low-dropout (LDO) low-power
linear voltage regulators features high power-supply
rejection ratio (PSRR), low noise, fast start-up, and
excellent line and load transient responses in a small
SOT-23 package. NanoStar™ packaging gives an
ultrasmall footprint as well as an ultralow profile and
packageweight,makingitidealforportable
applications such as handsets and PDAs. Each
device in the family is stable, with a small, 2.2-μF
ceramic capacitor on the output. The TPS730 family
uses an advanced, proprietary BiCMOS fabrication
process to yield low dropout voltages (for example,
120 mV at 200 mA, TPS73030). Each device
achieves fast start-up times (approximately 50 μs with
a 0.001-μF bypass capacitor) while consuming low
quiescent current (170 μA typical). Moreover, when
the device is placed in standby mode, the supply
current is reduced to less than 1 μA. The TPS73018
exhibits approximately 33 μV
noise at 1.8 V output with a 0.01-μF bypass
capacitor. Applications with analog components that
are noise-sensitive, such as portable RF electronics,
benefit from the high PSRR and low-noise features
as well as the fast response time.

The TPS730 family of low-dropout (LDO) regulators has been optimized for use in noise-sensitive, batteryoperated equipment. The device features extremely low dropout voltages, high PSRR, ultra-low output noise, low
quiescent current (170 μA typically), and enable-input to reduce supply currents to less than 1 μA when the
regulator is turned off.
The TPS730 uses an undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit that disables the output until the input voltage is
greater than the rising UVLO voltage. This circuit ensures that the device does not exhibit any unpredictable
behavior when the supply voltage is lower than the operational range of the internal circuitry, V

7.3.2 Shutdown
The enable pin (EN) is active high. Enable the device by forcing the EN pin to exceed V
(1.7 V, minimum).
EN(high)
Turn off the device by forcing the EN pin to drop below 0.7 V. If shutdown capability is not required, connect EN
to IN.
7.3.3 Foldback Current Limit
The TPS730 features internal current limiting and thermal protection. During normal operation, the TPS730 limits
output current to approximately 400 mA. 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, do not
exceed the power dissipation ratings of the package or the absolute maximum voltage ratings of the device.
7.4Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Normal Operation
The device regulates to the nominal output voltage under the following conditions:
•The input voltage is at least as high as V
•The input voltage is greater than the nominal output voltage added to the dropout voltage.
•The enable voltage is greater than V
EN(min)
•The output current is less than the current limit.
•The device junction temperature is less than the maximum specified junction temperature.

7.4.2 Dropout Operation
If the input voltage is lower than the nominal output voltage plus the specified dropout voltage, but all other
conditions are met for normal operation, the device operates in dropout mode. In this mode of operation, the
output voltage is the same as the input voltage minus the dropout voltage. The transient performance of the
device is significantly degraded because the pass device is in the linear region and no longer controls the current
through the LDO. Line or load transients in dropout can result in large output voltage deviations.
7.4.3 Disabled
The device is disabled under the following conditions:
•The enable voltage is less than the enable falling threshold voltage or has not yet exceeded the enable rising
threshold.
•The device junction temperature is greater than the thermal shutdown temperature.
•The input voltage is less than UVLO
