description
The TPS759xx family of 7.5-A low dropout (LDO) regulators contains four fixed voltage option regulators with
integrated power-good (PG) and an adjustable voltage option regulator. These devices are capable of supplying
7.5 A of output current with a dropout of 400 mV (TPS75933). Therefore, the devices are capable of performing
a 3.3-V to 2.5-V conversion. Quiescent current is 125 µA at full load and drops below 10 µA when the devices
are disabled. The TPS759xx is designed to have fast transient response for large load current changes.

description (continued)
Because the PMOS device behaves as a low-value resistor, the dropout voltage is very low (typically 400 mV
at an output current of 7.5 A for the TPS75933) and is directly proportional to the output current. Additionally,
since the PMOS pass element is a voltage-driven device, the quiescent current is very low and independent
of output loading (typically 125 µA over the full range of output current, 1 mA to 7.5 A). These two key
specifications yield a significant improvement in operating life for battery-powered systems.
The device is enabled when EN is connected to a low-level voltage. This LDO family also features a sleep mode;
applying a TTL high signal to EN (enable) shuts down the regulator, reducing the quiescent current to less than
1 µA at TJ = 25°C. The power-good terminal (PG) is an active low, open drain output, which can be used to
implement a power-on reset or a low-battery indicator.
The TPS759xx is offered in 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V fixed-voltage versions and in an adjustable version
(programmable over the range of 1.22 V to 5 V). Output voltage tolerance is specified as a maximum of 3% over
line, load, and temperature ranges. The TPS759xx family is available in a 5-pin TO–220 (KC) and TO–263 (KTT)
packages.

detailed description
The TPS759xx family includes four fixed-output voltage regulators (1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V), and an
adjustable regulator, the TPS75901 (adjustable from 1.22 V to 5 V). The bandgap voltage is typically 1.22 V.
pin functions
enable (EN)
The EN terminal is an input which enables or shuts down the device. If EN is a logic high, the device will be in
shutdown mode. When EN goes to logic low, then the device will be enabled.
power-good (PG)
The PG terminal for the fixed voltage option devices is an open drain, active low output that indicates the status
of VO (output of the LDO). When VO reaches approximately 91% of the regulated voltage, PG will go to a low
impedance state. It will go to a high-impedance state when VO falls below 91% (i.e. over load condition) of the
regulated voltage. The open drain output of the PG terminal requires a pullup resistor.
feedback (FB)
FB is an input terminal used for the adjustable-output option and must be connected to the output terminal either
directly, in order to generate the minimum output voltage of 1.22 V, or through an external feedback resistor
divider for other output voltages. The FB connection should be as short as possible. It is essential to route it in
such a way to minimize/avoid noise pickup. Adding RC networks between FB terminal and VO to filter noise is
not recommended because it may cause the regulator to oscillate.

THERMAL INFORMATION
The amount of heat that an LDO linear regulator generates is directly proportional to the amount of power it
dissipates during operation. All integrated circuits have a maximum allowable junction temperature (TJmax)
above which normal operation is not assured. A system designer must design the operating environment so
that the operating junction temperature (TJ) does not exceed the maximum junction temperature (TJmax). The
two main environmental variables that a designer can use to improve thermal performance are air flow and
external heatsinks. The purpose of this information is to aid the designer in determining the proper operating
environment for a linear regulator that is operating at a specific power level.
In general, the maximum expected power (PD(max)) consumed by a linear regulator is computed as:
ǒ
*V
P max + V
I(avg)
D
O(avg)
Ǔ
I
O(avg)
) V
I(avg)
xI
(1)
(Q)
Where:
VI(avg) is the average input voltage.
VO(avg) is the average output voltage.
IO(avg) is the average output current.
I(Q) is the quiescent current.
For most TI LDO regulators, the quiescent current is insignificant compared to the average output current;
therefore, the term VI(avg) x I(Q) can be neglected. The operating junction temperature is computed by adding
the ambient temperature (TA) and the increase in temperature due to the regulator’s power dissipation. The
temperature rise is computed by multiplying the maximum expected power dissipation by the sum of the thermal
resistances between the junction and the case (RθJC), the case to heatsink (RθCS), and the heatsink to ambient
(RθSA). Thermal resistances are measures of how effectively an object dissipates heat. Typically, the larger the
device, the more surface area available for power dissipation and the lower the object’s thermal resistance.
Figure 21 illustrates these thermal resistances for (a) a TO–220 package attached to a heatsink, and (b) a
TO–263 package mounted on a JEDEC High-K board.

The RθJC is specific to each regulator as determined by its package, lead frame, and die size provided in the
regulator’s data sheet. The RθSA is a function of the type and size of heatsink. For example, black body radiator
type heatsinks, like the one attached to the TO–220 package in Figure 20(a), can have RθCS values ranging
from 5 °C/W for very large heatsinks to 50 °C/W for very small heatsinks. The RθCS is a function of how the
package is attached to the heatsink. For example, if a thermal compound is used to attach a heatsink to a
TO–220 package, RθCS of 1°C/W is reasonable.
Even if no external black body radiator type heatsink is attached to the package, the board on which the regulator
is mounted will provide some heatsinking through the pin solder connections. Some packages, like the TO–263
and TI’s TSSOP PowerPAD packages, use a copper plane underneath the package or the circuit board’s
ground plane for additional heatsinking to improve their thermal performance. Computer aided thermal
modeling can be used to compute very accurate approximations of an integrated circuit’s thermal performance
in different operating environments (e.g., different types of circuit boards, different types and sizes of heatsinks,
and different air flows, etc.). Using these models, the three thermal resistances can be combined into one
thermal resistance between junction and ambient (RθJA). This RθJA is valid only for the specific operating
environment used in the computer model.
Equation 2 simplifies into equation 3:

Rearranging equation 3 gives equation 4:

Using equation 3 and the computer model generated curves shown in Figures 22 and 25, a designer can quickly

dissipation, and operating environment.

TO–220 power dissipation
The TO–220 package provides an effective means of managing power dissipation in through-hole applications.
The TO–220 package dimensions are provided in the Mechanical Data section at the end of the data sheet. A
heatsink can be used with the TO–220 package to effectively lower the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
To illustrate, the TPS75925 in a TO–220 package was chosen. For this example, the average input voltage is
3.3 V, the output voltage is 2.5 V, the average output current is 3 A, the ambient temperature 55°C, the air flow
is 150 LFM, and the operating environment is the same as documented below. Neglecting the quiescent current,
the maximum average power is:
P Dmax + (3.3 – 2.5) V x 3 A + 2.4 W

From Figure 22, RθJA vs Heatsink Thermal Resistance, a heatsink with RθSA = 22°C/W is required to dissipate
2.4 W. The model operating environment used in the computer model to construct Figure 22 consisted of a
standard JEDEC High-K board (2S2P) with a 1 oz. internal copper plane and ground plane. Since the package
pins were soldered to the board, 450 mm2 of the board was modeled as a heatsink. Figure 23 shows the side

TO–263 power dissipation (continued)
The TO–263 package provides an effective means of managing power dissipation in surface mount
applications. The TO–263 package dimensions are provided in the Mechanical Data section at the end of the
data sheet. The addition of a copper plane directly underneath the TO–263 package enhances the thermal
performance of the package.
To illustrate, the TPS75925 in a TO–263 package was chosen. For this example, the average input voltage is
3.3 V, the output voltage is 2.5 V, the average output current is 3 A, the ambient temperature 55°C, the air flow
is 150 LFM, and the operating environment is the same as documented below. Neglecting the quiescent current,
the maximum average power is:

From Figure 25, RθJA vs Copper Heatsink Area, the ground plane needs to be 2 cm2 for the part to dissipate

standard JEDEC High-K board (2S2P) with a 1 oz. internal copper plane and ground plane. The package is
soldered to a 2 oz. copper pad. The pad is tied through thermal vias to the 1 oz. ground plane. Figure 26 shows

Where:

Resistors R1 and R2 should be chosen for approximately 40-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 = 30.1 kΩ to set the divider current at 40 µA and then calculate R1 using:

regulator protection
The TPS759xx PMOS-pass transistor has a built-in back diode that conducts reverse currents 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. When extended reverse voltage is anticipated, external limiting may be
appropriate.
The TPS759xx also features internal current limiting and thermal protection. During normal operation, the
TPS759xx limits output current to approximately 10 A. 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 150°C(typ), thermal-protection circuitry shuts it down. Once the device has cooled below
130°C(typ), regulator operation resumes.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
input capacitor
For a typical application, a ceramic input bypass capacitor (0.22 µF – 1 µF) is recommended to ensure device
stability. This capacitor should be as close as possible to the input pin. Due to the impedance of the input supply,
large transient currents will cause the input voltage to droop. If this droop causes the input voltage to drop below
the UVLO threshold, the device will turn off. Therefore, it is recommended that a larger capacitor be placed in
parallel with the ceramic bypass capacitor at the regulator’s input. The size of this capacitor depends on the
output current, response time of the main power supply, and the main power supply’s distance to the regulator.
At a minimum, the capacitor should be sized to ensure that the input voltage does not drop below the minimum
UVLO threshold voltage during normal operating conditions.
output capacitor
As with most LDO regulators, the TPS759xx requires an output capacitor connected between OUT and GND
to stabilize the internal control loop. The minimum recommended capacitance value is 47 µF with an ESR
(equivalent series resistance) of at least 200 mΩ. As shown in Figure 29, most capacitor and ESR combinations
with a product of 47e–6 x 0.2 = 9.4e–6 or larger will be stable, provided the capacitor value is at least 47 µF.
Solid tantalum electrolytic and aluminum electrolytic capacitors are all suitable, provided they meet the
requirements described in this section. Larger capacitors provide a wider range of stability and better load
transient response.
This information along with the ESR graphs, Figures 19, 20, and 29, is included to assist in selection of suitable
capacitance for the user’s application. When necessary to achieve low height requirements along with high
output current and/or high load capacitance, several higher ESR capacitors can be used in parallel to meet
these guidelines.
