DESCRIPTION
The TPS74301 low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator
provides an easy-to-use robust power management
solution for a wide variety of applications. The
TRACK pin allows the output to track an external
supply. This feature is useful in minimizing the stress
on ESD structures that are present between the
CORE and I/O power pins of many processors. The
enable input and power-good output allow easy
sequencing with external regulators. This complete
flexibility allows the user to configure a solution that
meets the sequencing requirements of FPGAs,
DSPs, and other applications with special start-up
requirements.
A precision reference and error amplifier deliver 1%
accuracy over load, line, temperature, and process.
Each LDO is stable with low-cost ceramic output
capacitors and the device is fully specified from
–40 ° C to +125 ° C. The TPS74301 is offered in a
small (5mm × 5mm) QFN package, yielding a highly
compact total solution size. For applications that
require additional power dissipation, the DDPAK
(KTW) package is also available.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be
more susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published
specifications.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The TPS74301 belongs to a family of new Figure 26 is a typical application circuit for the
generation ultra-low dropout regulators that feature TPS74301 adjustable device.
soft-start and tracking capabilities. These regulators
use a low current bias input to power all internal
control circuitry, allowing the NMOS pass transistor
to regulate very low input and output voltages.
The use of an NMOS-pass FET offers several critical specifications, R
advantages for many applications. Unlike a PMOS
topology device, the output capacitor has little effect
on loop stability. This architecture allows the
TPS74301 to be stable with any or even no output
capacitor. Transient response is also superior to
PMOS topologies, particularly for low V
IN
applications.
The TPS74301 features a TRACK pin that allows the
output to track an external supply. This feature is
useful in minimizing the stress on ESD structures
that are present between the CORE and I/O power
pins of many processors. A power-good (PG) output
is also available to allow supply monitoring and
sequencing of follow-on supplies. To control the
output turn-on, an enable (EN) pin with hysteresis
and deglitch is provided to allow slow-ramping
signals to be utilized for sequencing the device. The
low V
and V

capability allows for inexpensive,
easy-to-design, and efficient linear regulation
between the multiple supply voltages often present in
processor intensive systems.

INPUT, OUTPUT, AND BIAS CAPACITOR
REQUIREMENTS
The device does not require any output capacitor for
stability. If an output capacitor is needed, the device
is designed to be stable for all available types and
values of output capacitance. The device is also
stable with multiple capacitors in parallel, of any type
or value.
The capacitance required on the IN and BIAS pins is
strongly dependent on the input supply source
impedance. To counteract any inductance in the
input, the minimum recommended capacitor for V
and V
the same supply, the recommended minimum
capacitor for V
capacitors should be used on the input; ceramic X5R
and X7R capacitors are preferred. These capacitors
should be placed as close the pins as possible for
optimum performance.

The TPS74301 was designed to have transient
response within 5% for most applications without any
output capacitor. In some cases, the transient
response may be limited by the transient response of
the input supply. This limitation is especially true in
applications where the difference between the input
and output is less than 300mV. In this case, adding
additional input capacitance improves the transient
response much more than just adding additional
output capacitance would do. With a solid input
supply, adding additional output capacitance reduces
undershoot and overshoot during a transient at the
expense of a slightly longer V
recovery time.
OUT
Refer to Figure 17 in the Typical Characteristics
section. Since the TPS74301 is stable without an
output capacitor, many applications may allow for
little or no capacitance at the LDO output. For these
applications, local bypass capacitance for the device
under power may be sufficient to meet the transient
requirements of the application. This design reduces
the total solution cost by avoiding the need to use
expensive high-value capacitors at the LDO output.
DROPOUT VOLTAGE
The TPS74301 offers industry-leading dropout
performance, making it well-suited for high-current
low V

If the TRACK pin is not needed it should be

large inrush current that could cause the input supply

OUTPUT NOISE
The TPS74301 provides low output noise when a
soft-start capacitor is used. When the device reaches
the end of the soft-start cycle, the soft-start capacitor
serves as a filter for the internal reference. By using
a 0.001 µ F soft-start capacitor, the output noise is
reduced by half and is typically 30 µ V
output (10Hz to 100kHz). Because most of the
output noise is generated by the internal reference,
the noise is a function of the set output voltage. The
RMS noise with a 0.001 µ F soft-start capacitor is
given in Equation 1 .
The low output noise of the TPS74301 makes it a
good choice for powering transceivers, PLLs, or
other noise-sensitive circuitry.

should be in the range of 10k Ω to 1M Ω . PG is only

monitoring is not needed, the PG pin can be left
floating.
INTERNAL CURRENT LIMIT
The TPS74301 features a factory-trimmed, accurate
current limit that is flat over temperature and supply
voltage. The current limit allows the device to supply
surges of up to 1.8A and maintain regulation. The
current limit responds in about 10 µ s to reduce the
current during a short-circuit fault. Recovery from a
short-circuit condition is well-controlled and results in
very little output overshoot when the load is
removed. See Figure 25 in the Typical
Characteristics section for output short-circuit
recovery performance.
The internal current limit protection circuitry of the
TPS74301 is designed to protect against overload
conditions. It is not intended to allow operation above
the rated current of the device. Continuously running
the TPS74301 above the rated current degrades
device reliability.
THERMAL PROTECTION
Thermal protection disables the output when the
junction temperature rises to approximately +155 ° C,
allowing the device to cool. When the junction
temperature cools to approximately +140 ° C, the
output circuitry is enabled. Depending on power
Activation of the thermal protection circuit indicates
excessive power dissipation or inadequate
worst-case loads and signal conditions. For good
reliability, thermal protection should trigger at least
+30 ° C above the maximum expected ambient
condition of the application. This condition 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 TPS74301 is
designed to protect against overload conditions. It is
not intended to replace proper heatsinking.
Continuously running the TPS74301 into thermal
shutdown degrades device reliability.
LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS AND POWER
An optimal layout can greatly improve transient
performance, PSRR, and noise. To minimize the
voltage droop on the input of the device during load
transients, the capacitance on IN and BIAS should
be connected as close as possible to the device.
This capacitance also minimizes the effects of
parasitic inductance and resistance of the input
source and can therefore improve stability. To
achieve optimal transient performance and accuracy,
the top side of R
as close as possible to the load. If BIAS is connected
to IN, it is recommended to connect BIAS as close to
the sense point of the input supply as possible. This
connection minimizes the voltage droop on BIAS
during transient conditions and can improve the
turn-on response.
Knowing the device power dissipation and proper
sizing of the thermal plane that is connected to the
tab or pad is critical to avoiding thermal shutdown
and ensuring reliable operation. Power dissipation of
the device depends on input voltage and load
conditions, and can be calculated using Equation 2 :

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, modifications, enhancements,
improvements, and other changes to its products and services at any time and to discontinue any product or service without notice.
Customers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All products are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its hardware products to the specifications applicable at the time of sale in accordance with TI’s
standard warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this
warranty. Except where mandated by government requirements, testing of all parameters of each product is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should
provide adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask
work right, or other TI intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services
are used. Information published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI to use such
products or services or a warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under
the patents or other intellectual property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is
accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an
unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation.
Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business
practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would
reasonably be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement
specifically governing such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications
of their applications, and acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related
requirements concerning their products and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any
applications-related information or support that may be provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its
representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in such safety-critical applications.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are
specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military
specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is
solely at the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in
connection with such use.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products
are designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any
non-designated products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
