Battery-Powered Microcontrollers and Microprocessors DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION The TPS797xx family of low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulators offers the benefits of low-dropout voltage and ultralow-power operation. The device is stable with any capacitor (> 0.47 µF). Therefore, implementations of this device require little board space due to the miniaturized packaging and potentially small output capacitor. In addition, the family includes an integrated open drain active-high power good (PG) output. Intended for use in microcontroller based, battery-powered applications, the TPS797xx family's low dropout and ultralow-powered operation results in a significant increase in system battery operating life. The small packaging minimizes consumption of board space. The device is enabled when the applied voltage exceeds the minimum input voltage. The usual PNP pass transistor has been replaced by a PMOS pass element. Because the PMOS pass element behaves as a low-value resistor, the dropout voltage is low, 125 mV (typ) at 10 mA of load current and is directly proportional to the load current. The quiescent current is ultralow (1.2 µA typ) and is stable over the entire range of output load current (0 mA to 10 mA). When properly configured with a pullup resistor, the PG output can be used to implement a power-on reset or low battery indicator. The TPS797xx is offered in 1.8 V, 3 V, and 3.3 V fixed options.

O The PG terminal for the fixed voltage option devices is an open-drain active-high output that indicates the status of VO (output of the LDO). When VO exceeds approximately 90% of the regulated voltage, PG goes to a high impedance state. It goes to a low-impedance state when VO falls below approximately 90% (i.e. overload condition) of the regulated voltage. The open drain output of the PG terminal requires a pullup resistor.

The devices feature extremely low dropout voltages and ultralow quiescent current (1.2 µA typ). A typical application circuit is shown in Figure 14. TPS797xx 4 IN PG 1 100 kΩ + C1 0.1 µF OUT 5 VO 3 − NC GND + 0.47 µF 2 Figure 14. Typical Application Circuit External Capacitor Requirements Although not required, a 0.1 µF or larger input bypass capacitor, connected between IN and GND and located close to the TPS797xx, is recommended, especially when a highly resistive power supply is powering the LDO in addition to other devices. Like all low-dropout regulators, the TPS797xx requires an output capacitor connected between OUT and GND to stabilize the internal control loop. The minimum recommended capacitance is 0.47 µF. Any 0.47 µF capacitor is suitable. Capacitor values larger than 0.47 µF are acceptable. Power Dissipation and Junction Temperature Specified regulator operation is assured to a junction temperature of 125°C; restrict the maximum junction temperature 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). T max * T A P + J D(max) R θJA The maximum-power-dissipation limit is determined using the following equation: Where: TJmax is the maximum allowable junction temperature. RθJA is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for the package (see the Power Dissipation Rating Table). TA is the ambient temperature. The regulator dissipation is calculated using: PD = (VI - VO) × IO Power dissipation resulting from quiescent current is negligible. Excessive power dissipation triggers the thermal protection circuit. 8 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2006–2007, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS79718-EP TPS79730-EP TPS79733-EP TPS79718-EP, TPS79730-EP, TPS79733-EP www.ti.com SGLS348A – AUGUST 2006 – REVISED OCTOBER 2007 Regulator Protection The TPS797xx 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 TPS797xx features internal current limiting. During normal operation, the TPS797xx limits output current to approximately 190 mA. When current limiting engages, the output voltage scales back linearly until the overcurrent condition ends. Take care not to exceed the power dissipation ratings of the package. Microcontroller Application One application for which this device is particularly suited is providing a regulated input voltage and power good (PG) supervisory signal to low-power devices such as mixed-signal microcontrollers. The quiescent or ground current of the TPS797xx family is typically 1.2 µA even at full load; therefore, the reduction in battery life by including the TPS797xx in the system is negligible. The primary benefits of using the TPS797xx to power low power digital devices include: • Regulated output voltage that protects the device from battery droop and noise on the line (e.g., switch bounce) • Smooth, monotonic power up • PG signal for controlled device RESET • Potential to use an existing 5-V power rail to power a 3.3 V or lower device • Potential to provide separate digital and analog power and ground supplies for a system with only one power source Figure 15 shows an application in which the TPS79718 is used to power Texas Instruments MSP430 mixed signal microcontroller.
