DESCRIPTION
The TPS793xx family of low-dropout (LDO)
low-power linear voltage regulators features high
power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR), ultralow noise,
fast start-up, and excellent line and load transient
responses in a small-outline SOT23 package. Each
device in the family is stable, with a small 2.2-µF
ceramic capacitor on the output. The TPS793xx
family uses an advanced, proprietary, BiCMOS
fabrication process to yield extremely low dropout
voltages (e.g., 112 mV at 200 mA, TPS79330). Each
device achieves fast start-up times (approximately
50 µs with a 0.001-µF bypass capacitor), while
consuming very 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 TPS79328 exhibits approximately
32 µVRMS of output voltage noise 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.
Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications of Texas
Instruments semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.

To calculate the minimum input voltage for your maximum output current, use the following formula:
VI(min) = VO(max) + VDO (max load)
(2) Continuous output current and operating junction temperature are limited by internal protection circuitry, but it is not recommended that
the device operate under conditions beyond those specified in this table for extended periods of time.
(3) The minimum IN operating voltage is 2.7 V or VO(typ) + 1 V, whichever is greater. The maximum IN voltage is 5.5 V. The maximum
output current is 200 mA.
(4) If VO ≤ 2.5 V, then VImin = 2.7 V, VImax = 5.5 V:

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The TPS793xx family of low-dropout (LDO) regulators has been optimized for use in noise-sensitive
battery-operated equipment. The device features extremely low dropout voltages, high PSRR, ultralow output
noise, low quiescent current (170 µA typically), 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.

External Capacitor Requirements
A 0.1-µF or larger ceramic input bypass capacitor, connected between IN and GND and located close to the
TPS793xx, is required for stability and improves transient response, noise rejection, and ripple 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 LDOs, the TPS793xx 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, provided the capacitance does not vary significantly over temperature.
The internal voltage reference is a key source of noise in an LDO regulator. The TPS793xx has a BYPASS pin
that is connected to the voltage reference through a 250-kΩ internal resistor. The 250-kΩ internal resistor, in
conjunction with an external bypass capacitor connected to the BYPASS 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 BYPASS 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 bypass capacitor must have
minimal leakage current.
For example, the TPS79328 exhibits only 32 µVRMS of output voltage noise using a 0.1-µF ceramic bypass
capacitor 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 BYPASS pin that is created by the internal 250-kΩ
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 VIN and VOUT, with each ground plane connected only at the
GND pin of the device. In addition, the ground connection for the bypass capacitor should connect directly to the
GND pin of the device.

Power Dissipation and Junction Temperature
Specified regulator operation is ensured 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:
T max * T

Where:

Power dissipation resulting from quiescent current is negligible. Excessive power dissipation triggers the thermal

Programming the TPS79301 Adjustable LDO Regulator (continued)
Resistors R1 and R2 should be chosen for approximately 50-µA divider current. Lower-value resistors can be
used for improved noise performance, but the solution consumes more power. Higher resistor values should be
avoided as leakage current into/out of FB across R1/R2 creates an offset voltage that artificially
increases/decreases the feedback voltage and, thus, erroneously decreases/increases VO. The recommended
design procedure is to choose R2 = 30.1 kΩ to set the divider current at 50 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 approximate value of this capacitor can be calculated as:
(3 x 10 –7) x (R1 ) R2)

(R1 x R2)
