TPS7A8001
SBVS135I – JUNE 2010 – REVISED AUGUST 2015
TPS7A8001 Low-Noise, Wide-Bandwidth, High PSRR,
Low-Dropout 1A Linear Regulator
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
The TPS7A8001 is a low-dropout linear regulator
(LDO) offering very high power-supply ripple rejection
(PSRR) at the output. This LDO uses an advanced
BiCMOS process and a PMOSFET pass device to
achieve very low noise, excellent transient response,
and excellent PSRR performance.

Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

For more information about traditional and new thermal metrics, see the Semiconductor and IC Package Thermal Metrics application
report, SPRA953.
For thermal estimates of this device based on PCB copper area, see the TI PCB Thermal Calculator.
Thermal data for the DRB package are derived by thermal simulations based on JEDEC-standard methodology as specified in the
JESD51 series. The following assumptions are used in the simulations:
(a) The exposed pad is connected to the PCB ground layer through a 2 × 2 thermal via array.
(b) The top and bottom copper layers are assumed to have a 5% thermal conductivity of copper representing a 20% copper coverage.
(c) This data were generated with only a single device at the center of a JEDEC high-K (2s2p) board with 3 inches × 3 inches copper
area. To understand the effects of the copper area on thermal performance, refer to the Power Dissipation and Estimating Junction
Temperature sections.

As for TPS7A8001 (adjustable); it does not include external resistor tolerances and it is not tested at this condition: VOUT = 0.8 V, 4.5 V
≤ VIN ≤ 6.5 V, and 750 mA ≤ IOUT ≤ 1 A because of power dissipation higher than maximum rating of the package.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS7A8001 device belongs to a family of new-generation LDO regulators that use innovative circuitry to
achieve wide bandwidth and high loop gain, resulting in extremely high PSRR (over a 1-MHz range) even with
very low headroom (VI – VO). A noise-reduction capacitor (C(NR)) at the NR pin and a bypass capacitor
(C(BYPASS)) decrease noise generated by the bandgap reference to improve PSRR, while a quick-start circuit
fastcharges the noise-reduction capacitor. This family of regulators offers sub-bandgap output voltages, current
limit, and thermal protection, and is fully specified from –40°C to 125°C.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Internal Current Limit
The TPS7A8001 internal current limit helps protect the regulator during fault conditions. During current limit, the
output sources a fixed amount of current that is largely independent of output voltage. For reliable operation, the
device should not be operated in a current limit state for extended periods of time.
The PMOS pass element in the TPS7A8001 has a built-in body diode that conducts current when the voltage at
OUT exceeds the voltage at IN. This current is not limited, so if extended reverse voltage operation is
anticipated, external limiting is required.
7.3.2 Shutdown
The enable pin (EN) is active high and is compatible with standard and low voltage, TTL-CMOS levels. When
shutdown capability is not required, EN can be connected to IN.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.3 Start-up
Through a lower resistance, the bandgap reference can quickly charge the noise reduction capacitor (CNR). The
TPS7A8001 has a quick-start circuit to quickly charge CNR, if present; see the Functional Block Diagram. At startup, this quick-start switch is closed, with only 33 kΩ of resistance between the bandgap reference and the NR
pin. The quick-start switch opens approximately 2ms after any device enabling event, and the resistance
between the bandgap reference and the NR pin becomes higher in value (approximately 250 kΩ) to form a very
good low-pass (RC) filter. This low-pass filter achieves very good noise reduction for the reference voltage.
Inrush current can be a problem in many applications. The 33-kΩ resistance during the start-up period is
intentionally put there to slow down the reference voltage ramp up, thus reducing the inrush current. For
example, the capacitance of connecting the recommended CNR value of 0.01 μF along with the 33-kΩ resistance
causes approximately 1-ms RC delay. Start-up time with the other CNR values can be calculated as:
tSTR (s) = 76,000 x CNR (F)
(1)
Equation 1 is valid up to tSTR = 2 ms or CNR = 26 nF, whichever is smaller.
Although the noise reduction effect is nearly saturated at 0.01 μF, connecting a CNR value greater than 0.01 μF
can help reduce noise slightly more; however, start-up time will be extremely long because the quick-start switch
opens after approximately 2ms. That is, if CNR is not fully charged during this 2 ms period, CNR finishes charging
through a higher resistance of 250 kΩ, and takes much longer to fully charge.
A low leakage CNR should be used; most ceramic capacitors are suitable.
7.3.4 Undervoltage Lock-Out (UVLO)
The TPS7A8001 uses an undervoltage lock-out circuit to keep the output shut off until the internal circuitry is
operating properly. The UVLO circuit has a de-glitch feature so that it typically ignores undershoot transients on
the input if they are less than 50-μs duration.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
Driving the EN pin over 1.2 V for VI from 2.2 V to 3.6 V or 1.35 V for VI from 3.6 V to 6.5 V turns on the regulator.
Driving the EN pin below 0.4 V causes the regulator to enter shutdown mode.
In shutdown, the current consumption of the device is reduced to 0.02 µA typically.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The TPS7A8001 belongs to a family of new generation LDO regulators that use innovative circuitry to achieve
wide bandwidth and high loop gain, resulting in extremely high PSRR (over a 1-MHz range) at very low
headroom (VIN – VOUT). A noise reduction capacitor (CNR) at the NR pin bypasses noise generated by the
bandgap reference to improve PSRR, while a quick-start circuit fast-charges this capacitor. This family of
regulators offers sub-bandgap output voltages, current limit, and thermal protection, and is fully specified from
–40°C to 125°C.
Figure 30 gives the connections for the adjustable output version (TPS7A8001).

8.2.1 Design Requirements
8.2.1.1 Dropout Voltage
The TPS7A8001 uses a PMOS pass transistor to achieve low dropout. When (VIN – VOUT) is less than the
dropout voltage (VDO), the PMOS pass device is in its linear region of operation and the input-to-output
resistance is the RDS(ON) of the PMOS pass element. VDO scales approximately with output current because the
PMOS device in dropout behaves the same way as a resistor.
As with any linear regulator, PSRR and transient response are degraded as (VIN – VOUT) approaches dropout.
This effect is shown in Figure 19 and Figure 20 in the Typical Characteristics section.
8.2.1.2 Minimum Load
The TPS7A8001 is stable and well-behaved with no output load. Traditional PMOS LDO regulators suffer from
lower loop gain at very light output loads. The TPS7A8001 employs an innovative low-current mode circuit to
increase loop gain under very light or no-load conditions, resulting in improved output voltage regulation
performance down to zero output current.

Typical Application (continued)
8.2.1.3 Input and Output Capacitor Requirements
Although an input capacitor is not required for stability, it is good analog design practice to connect a 0.1-μF to 1μF low equivalent series resistance (ESR) capacitor across the input supply near the regulator. This capacitor
counteracts reactive input sources and improves transient response, noise rejection, and ripple rejection. A
higher-value capacitor may be necessary if large, fast rise-time load transients are anticipated or if the device is
located several inches from the power source. If source impedance is not sufficiently low, a 0.1-μF input
capacitor may be necessary to ensure stability.
The TPS7A8001 is designed to be stable with standard ceramic capacitors of capacitance values 4.7 μF or
larger. This device is evaluated using a 4.7-μF ceramic capacitor of 10-V rating, 10% tolerance, X5R type, and
0805 size (2 mm × 1.25 mm).
X5R- and X7R-type capacitors are highly recommended because they have minimal variation in value and ESR
over temperature. Maximum ESR should be
