REGULATORS
The TPS794xx family of low-dropout (LDO) linear
voltage regulators features high power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR), ultralow-noise, fast start-up, and
excellent line and load transient responses in small
outline, MSOP-8 PowerPAD™ and SOT223-6 packages. Each device in the family is stable with a small
2.2-µF ceramic capacitor on the output. The family
uses an advanced, proprietary BiCMOS fabrication
process to yield extremely low dropout voltages (e.g.,
155 mV at 250 mA). 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 TPS79428 exhibits
approximately 32 µV
2.8 V output with a 0.1-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.

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 TPS794xx family of low-dropout (LDO) regulators has been optimized for use in noise-sensitive equipment.
The device features extremely low dropout voltages, high PSRR, ultralow output noise, low quiescent current,
and enable input to reduce supply currents to less than 1 µA when the regulator is turned off.
A typical application circuit is shown in Figure 22 .
Figure 22. Typical Application Circuit
External Capacitor Requirements
A 0.1-µF or larger ceramic input bypass capacitor, connected between IN and GND and located close to the
TPS794xx, is required for stability. It improves transient response, noise rejection, and ripple rejection. A
higher-value input capacitor may be necessary if large, fast-rise-time load transients are anticipated or the device
is located several inches from the power source.
Like most low dropout regulators, the TPS794xx requires an output capacitor connected between OUT and GND
to stabilize the internal control loop. The minimum recommended capacitance is 2.2 µF. Any 2.2 µF or larger
ceramic capacitor is suitable.
The internal voltage reference is a key source of noise in an LDO regulator. The TPS794xx has an NR pin which
is connected to the voltage reference through a 250-k Ω internal resistor. The 250-k Ω internal resistor, in
conjunction with an external bypass capacitor connected to the NR pin, creates a low-pass filter to reduce the
voltage reference noise and, therefore, the noise at the regulator output. In order for the regulator to operate
properly, the current flow out of the NR pin must be at a minimum, because any leakage current creates an IR
drop across the internal resistor thus creating an output error. Therefore, the NR capacitor must have minimal
leakage current. The bypass capacitor should be no more than 0.1 µF to ensure that it is fully charged during the
quickstart time provided by the internal switch shown in the functional block diagram.
For example, the TPS79428 exhibits only 32 µV
and a 2.2-µF ceramic output capacitor. Note that the output starts up slower as the bypass capacitance
increases due to the RC time constant at the NR pin that is created by the internal 250-k Ω resistor and external
capacitor.

Board Layout Recommendation to Improve PSRR and Noise Performance
To improve ac measurements like PSRR, output noise, and transient response, it is recommended that the board
be designed with separate ground planes for V
pin of the device. In addition, the ground connection for the bypass capacitor should connect directly to the
ground pin of the device.

Power and Dissipation and Junction Temperature
Specified regulator operation is assured to a junction temperature of 125 ° C; the maximum junction temperature
should be restricted to 125 ° C under normal operating conditions. This restriction limits the power dissipation the
regulator can handle in any given application. To ensure the junction temperature is within acceptable limits,
calculate the maximum allowable dissipation, P
equal to P
.
D(max)
The maximum-power-dissipation limit is determined using the following equation:
where:
• T Jmax is the maximum allowable junction temperature.
• R θ
is the thermal resistence juntion-to-ambient for the package. See the power dissipation table and
JA
Figure 1
• TAis the ambient temperature.
The regulator dissipation is calculated using:
Power dissipation resulting from quiescent current is negligible. Excessive power dissipation triggers the thermal
protection circuit.
Regulator Mounting
The tab of the SOT223-6 package is electrically connected to ground. For best thermal performance, the tab of
the surface-mount version should be soldered directly to a circuit-board copper area. Increasing the copper area
improves heat dissipation. Solder pad footprint recommendations for the devices are presented in an application
bulletin Solder Pad Recommendations for Surface-Mount Devices , literature number AB-132, available from the
TI web site (www.ti.com).

Programming the TPS79401 Adjustable LDO Regulator
The output voltage of the TPS79401 adjustable regulator is programmed using an external resistor divider as
shown in Figure 24 . The output voltage is calculated using:
where:
• V
Resistors R1 and R2 should be chosen for approximately 40-µA divider current. Lower value resistors can be
used for improved noise performance, but the device wastes more power. Higher values should be avoided as
leakage current at FB increases the output voltage error. The recommended design procedure is to choose
R2 = 30.1 k Ω to set the divider current at 40 µA, C1 = 15 pF for stability, and then calculate R1 using:
In order to improve the stability of the adjustable version, it is suggested that a small compensation capacitor be
placed between OUT and FB. For voltages < 1.8 V, the value of this capacitor should be 100 pF. For voltages
> 1.8 V, the approximate value of this capacitor can be calculated as:
= 1.2246 V typ (the internal reference voltage).

The suggested value of this capacitor for several resistor ratios is shown in the table below. If this capacitor is
not used (such as in a unity-gain configuration) or if an output voltage < 1.8 V is chosen, then the minimum
recommended output capacitor is 4.7 µF instead of 2.2 µF.

Regulator Protection
The TPS794xx PMOS-pass transistor has a built-in back diode that conducts reverse current 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. If extended reverse voltage operation is anticipated, external limiting might be
appropriate.
The TPS794xx features internal current limiting and thermal protection. During normal operation, the TPS794xx
limits output current to approximately 925 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,
care should be taken not to exceed the power dissipation ratings of the package or the absolute maximum
voltage rating of the device. If the temperature of the device exceeds approximately 165 ° C, thermal-protection
circuitry shuts it down. Once the device has cooled down to below approximately 140 ° C, regulator operation
resumes.
