Ground Current – µ A
The TPS769xx family of low-dropout (LDO)
voltage regulators offers the benefits of low
dropout voltage, ultralow-power operation, and
miniaturized packaging. These regulators feature
low dropout voltages and ultralow quiescent
current compared to conventional LDO
regulators. Offered in a 5-terminal small outline
integrated-circuit
SOT-23
package,
the
TPS769xx series devices are ideal for
micropower operations and where board space is
at a premium.

A combination of new circuit design and process
16
innovation has enabled the usual PNP pass
transistor to be replaced by a PMOS pass
15
element. Because the PMOS pass element
–60 –40 –20 0
20 40 60 80 100 120 140
behaves as a low-value resistor, the dropout
TA – Free-Air Temperature – °C
voltage is very low, typically 71 mV at 100 mA of
load current (TPS76950), and is directly proportional to the load current. Since the PMOS pass element is a
voltage-driven device, the quiescent current is ultralow (28 µA maximum) and is stable over the entire range
of output load current (0 mA to 100 mA). Intended for use in portable systems such as laptops and cellular
phones, the ultralow-dropout voltage feature and ultralow-power operation result in a significant increase in
system battery operating life.
The TPS769xx also features a logic-enabled sleep mode to shut down the regulator, reducing quiescent current
to 1 µA typical at TJ = 25°C. The TPS769xx is offered in 1.2-V, 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, 2.7-V, 2.8-V, 3.0-V, 3.3-V,
and 5-V fixed-voltage versions and in a variable version (programmable over the range of 1.2 V to 5.5 V).

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The TPS769xx family of low-dropout (LDO) regulators have been optimized for use in battery-operated
equipment. They feature extremely low dropout voltages, low quiescent current (17 µA nominally), and enable
inputs to reduce supply currents to 1 µA when the regulators are turned off.
device operation
The TPS769xx uses a PMOS pass element to dramatically reduce both dropout voltage and supply current over
more conventional PNP-pass-element LDO designs. The PMOS pass element is a voltage-controlled device
and, unlike a PNP transistor, it does not require increased drive current as output current increases. Supply
current in the TPS769xx is essentially constant from no load to maximum load.
Current limiting and thermal protection prevent damage by excessive output current and/or power dissipation.
The device switches into a constant-current mode at approximately 350 mA; further load reduces the output
voltage instead of increasing the output current. The thermal protection shuts the regulator off if the junction
temperature rises above approximately 165°C. Recovery is automatic when the junction temperature drops
approximately 25°C below the high temperature trip point. The PMOS pass element includes a back gate diode
that conducts reverse current when the input voltage level drops below the output voltage level.
A voltage of 1.7 V or greater on the EN input will disable the TPS769xx internal circuitry, reducing the supply
current to 1µA. A voltage of less than 0.9 V on the EN input will enable the TPS769xx and will enable normal
operation to resume. The EN input does not include any deliberate hysteresis, and it exhibits an actual switching
threshold of approximately 1.5 V.
A typical application circuit is shown in Figure 21.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
external capacitor requirements
Although not required, a 0.047-µF or larger ceramic input bypass capacitor, connected between IN and GND
and located close to the TPS769xx, is recommended to improve transient response and noise rejection. A
higher-value electrolytic input capacitor may be necessary if large, fast-rise-time load transients are anticipated
and the device is located several inches from the power source.
Like all low dropout regulators, the TPS769xx requires an output capacitor connected between OUT and GND
to stabilize the internal control loop. The minimum recommended capacitance is 4.7 µF. The ESR (equivalent
series resistance) of the capacitor should be between 0.2 Ω and 10 Ω. to ensure stability. Capacitor values larger
than 4.7 µF are acceptable, and allow the use of smaller ESR values. Capacitances less than 4.7 µF are not
recommended because they require careful selection of ESR to ensure stability. Solid tantalum electrolytic,
aluminum electrolytic, and multilayer ceramic capacitors are all suitable, provided they meet the requirements
described above. Most of the commercially available 4.7 µF surface-mount solid tantalum capacitors, including
devices from Sprague, Kemet, and Nichico, meet the ESR requirements stated above. Multilayer ceramic
capacitors may have very small equivalent series resistances and may thus require the addition of a low value
series resistor to ensure stability.

Where:

Resistors R1 and R2 should be chosen for approximately 7-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 = 169 kΩ to set the divider current at 7 µA and then calculate R1 using:

APPLICATION INFORMATION
power 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, PD(max), and the actual dissipation, PD, which must be less than
or equal to PD(max).
The maximum-power-dissipation limit is determined using the following equation:
P
T max * T
J
A
+
D(max)
R

Where:
TJmax is the maximum allowable junction temperature
RθJA is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for the package, i.e., 285°C/W for the 5-terminal
SOT23.
TA is the ambient temperature.

Ǔ
The regulator dissipation is calculated using:

Power dissipation resulting from quiescent current is negligible. Excessive power dissipation will trigger the
thermal protection circuit.
regulator protection
The TPS769xx 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 TPS769xx features internal current limiting and thermal protection. During normal operation, the TPS769xx
limits output current to approximately 350 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. 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.
