ADJUSTABLE LOW DROPOUT REGULATOR
FEATURES
■ Up to 5 A Output Current Capability with External
PNP Transistor
■ Internal Short Circuit Protection
■ Excellent Load Regulation
■ CMOS/TTL-Compatible On/Off Switch
■ Internal Reverse Bias Current Protection Switch
■ Internal Thermal Shutdown
■ Wide Adjustable Output Voltage Range
(2.0 V to 12.0 V)
■ Continuous and Pulsed Current Modes
DESCRIPTION
The TK73200 is a controller IC for an adjustable low
dropout voltage regulator. The TK73200 and the external
PNP power transistor provide adjustable output voltages
from 2 to 12 V and output current from 100 mA to 5 A. By
utilizing an external PNP power transistor, low dropout
voltage at high current can be readily achieved. The
internal electronic switch can be controlled by TTL or
CMOS logic levels. The device is in the “on” state when the
control pin is pulled to a high logic level. A pin for a bypass
capacitor, which connects to the internal circuitry, is
provided to lower the overall output noise level.
APPLICATIONS
■ Battery Powered Systems
■ Cellular/Cordless Telephones
■ Radio Control Systems
■ Wireless Communications Systems
■ Portable Instrumentations
■ Portable Computers
■ Personal Digital Assistants
■ Local Area Network (LAN) Receivers
■ Power Recovery for Microprocessors
TK73200
The current limit characteristics can be configured as
continuous (constant current) or pulsed (cycling). An
internal thermal shutdown circuit limits the junction
temperatures to below 150 °C.

TK73200 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS (STANDARD DEVICES) CONT.
Note 1: Power dissipation is 600 mW when mounted as recommended. Derate at 4.8 mW/°C for operation above 25 °C.
Note 2: Refer to: “Definition of Terms.”
Note 3: Ripple rejection and noise voltage are affected by the value and characteristics of the capacitor used.
Note 4: This pin is used for Pulse Current Limit Mode. When selecting Continuous Current Limit Mode, this pin is connected to GND.
Note 5: The voltage applied to any pin must be greater than -0.4 V.
Gen. Note: Parameters with min. or max. values are 100% tested at TA = 25 °C.
