3 Description
The TPS79901 family of low-dropout (LDO), lowpower linear regulators offers excellent ac
performance with very low ground current. High
power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR), low noise, fast
start-up, and excellent line and load transient
response are provided while consuming a very low
40-μA (typical) ground current.
The TPS79901 is stable with ceramic capacitors and
uses an advanced BiCMOS fabrication process to
yield a dropout voltage of typically 100 mV at a
200-mA output. The TPS79901 uses a precision
voltage reference and feedback loop to achieve an
overall accuracy of 2% over all load, line, process,
and temperature variations. The TPS79901 features
inrush current protection when the EN toggle is used
to start the device, immediately clamping the current.
The TPS79901 is fully specified over the temperature
range of TJ = –55°C to +125°C, and offered in a lowprofile, ideal for wireless handsets and WLAN cards.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS79901 low-dropout (LDO) regulator combines the high performance required of many RF and precision
analog applications with ultra-low-current consumption. High PSRR is provided by a high-gain, high-bandwidth
error loop with good supply rejection at very low headroom (VIN – VOUT). A noise-reduction pin is provided to
bypass noise generated by the band-gap reference and to improve PSRR, while a quick-start circuit quickly
charges this capacitor at start-up. The combination of high performance and low ground current also make these
devices an excellent choice for portable applications. All versions have thermal and overcurrent protection, and
are fully specified from –55°C to +125°C.
The TPS79901 also features inrush current protection with an EN toggle start-up, and overshoot detection at the
output. When the EN toggle is used to start the device, current limit protection is immediately activated,
restricting the inrush current to the device. If voltage at the output overshoots 5% from the nominal value, a
pulldown resistor reduces the voltage to normal operating conditions, as shown in the Functional Block Diagram.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Internal Current Limit
The TPS79901 internal current limit helps protect the regulator during fault conditions. In current limit mode, the
output sources a fixed amount of current that is largely independent of the output voltage. For reliable operation,
do not operate the device in a current-limit state for extended periods of time.
The PMOS pass element in the TPS79901 has a built-in body diode that conducts current when the voltage at
OUT exceeds the voltage at IN. This current is not limited; therefore, if extended reverse voltage operation is
anticipated, external limiting may be 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
The TPS79901 uses a start-up circuit to quickly charge the noise reduction capacitor, CNR, if present (see the
Functional Block Diagram). This circuit allows for the combination of very low output noise and fast start-up
times. The NR pin is high impedance so a low leakage CNR capacitor must be used; most ceramic capacitors are
appropriate for this configuration.
Note that for fastest start-up, apply VIN first, and then drive the enable pin (EN) high. If EN is tied to IN, start-up is
somewhat slower. The start-up switch is closed for approximately 135 μs. To ensure that CNR is fully charged
during start-up, use a 0.01-μF or smaller capacitor.
7.3.4 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The TPS79901 use an undervoltage lockout circuit to keep the output shut off until internal circuitry is operating
properly. The UVLO circuit has a deglitch feature so that undershoot transients are typically ignored on the input
if these transients are less than 50 μs in duration.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
Driving EN over 1.2-V turns on the regulator. Driving EN below 0.4 V puts the regulator into shutdown mode,
thus reducing the operating current to 150 nA, nominal.

Typical Applications (continued)
8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Input and Output Capacitor Requirements
Although an input capacitor is not required for stability, good analog design practice is to connect a 0.1-μF to
1-μF low 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 TPS79901 is designed to be stable with standard ceramic capacitors with values of 2.2 μF or greater. X5Rand X7R-type capacitors are best because they have minimal variation in value and ESR over temperature.
Maximum ESR must be less than 1 Ω.
8.2.2.2 Output Noise
In most LDOs, the band gap is the dominant noise source. If a noise-reduction capacitor (CNR) is used with the
TPS79901, the band gap does not contribute significantly to noise. Instead, noise is dominated by the output
resistor divider and the error amplifier input. To minimize noise in a given application, use a 0.01-μF noise
reduction capacitor. To further optimize noise, equivalent series resistance of the output capacitor can be set to
approximately 0.2 Ω. This configuration maximizes phase margin in the control loop, reducing total output noise
by up to 10%.
Noise can be referred to the feedback point; with CNR = 0.01 μF total noise is approximately given by Equation 1:
10.5mVRMS
VN =
x VOUT
V
(1)
8.2.2.3 Dropout Voltage
The TPS79901 uses a PMOS pass transistor to achieve a low-dropout voltage. When (VIN – VOUT) is less than
the dropout voltage (VDO), the PMOS pass device is in its linear region of operation and rDS(on) of the PMOS pass
element is the input-to-output resistance. Because the PMOS device behaves like a resistor in dropout, VDO
approximately scales with the output current.
As with any linear regulator, PSRR degrades as (VIN – VOUT) approaches dropout. This effect is illustrated in
Figure 11 through Figure 19 in the Typical Characteristics section.
8.2.2.4 Transient Response
As with any regulator, increasing the size of the output capacitor reduces over- and undershoot magnitude, but
increases the duration of the transient response. The transient response of the TPS799 is enhanced by an active
pulldown device that engages when the output overshoots by approximately 5% or more when the device is
enabled. When enabled, the pulldown device behaves like a 350-Ω resistor to ground.
8.2.2.5 Minimum Load
The TPS79901 is stable with no output load. To meet the specified accuracy, a minimum load of 500 μA is
required. With loads less than 500 μA at junction temperatures near 125°C, the output can drift up enough to
cause the output pulldown device to turn on. The output pulldown device limits voltage drift to 5% typically;
however, ground current can increase by approximately 50 μA. In typical applications, the junction cannot reach
high temperatures at light loads because there is no noticeable dissipated power. The specified ground current is
then valid at no load in most applications.
8.2.2.6 Feedback Capacitor Requirements
The feedback capacitor, CFB, shown in Figure 28 is required for stability. For a parallel combination of R1 and R2
equal to 250 kΩ, any value from 3 pF to 1 nF can be used. Values below 5 pF should be used to ensure fast
startup; values above 47 pF can be used to implement an output voltage soft-start. Larger value capacitors also
improve noise slightly. The TPS79901 is stable in unity-gain configuration (OUT tied to FB) without CFB.

8.3 Do's and Don'ts
Do place at least one 2.2-µF ceramic capacitor as close as possible to the OUT pin of the regulator.
Do not place the output capacitor more than 10 mm away from the regulator.
Do connect a 0.1-μF to 1-μF low equivalent series resistance (ESR) capacitor across the IN pin and GND input
of the regulator.
Do not exceed the absolute maximum ratings.
9 Power Supply Recommendations
These devices are designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 2.7 V and 6.5 V. The input
voltage range provides adequate headroom in order for the device to have a regulated output. This input supply
is well-regulated and stable. If the input supply is noisy, additional input capacitors with low ESR can help
improve the output noise performance.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
10.1.1 Board Layout Recommendations to Improve PSRR and Noise Performance
To improve ac performance (such as PSRR, output noise, and transient response), design the board with
separate ground planes for VIN and VOUT, with each ground plane connected only at the GND pin of the device.
In addition, connect the bypass capacitor directly to the GND pin of the device.
10.1.2 Thermal Information
10.1.2.1 Thermal Protection
Thermal protection disables the output when the junction temperature rises to approximately 165°C, allowing the
device to cool. When the junction temperature cools to approximately 145°C the output circuitry is again enabled.
Depending on power dissipation, thermal resistance, and ambient temperature, the thermal protection circuit may
cycle on and off. This cycling limits the dissipation of the regulator, protecting it from damage resulting from
overheating.

SBVS330A – SEPTEMBER 2017 – REVISED OCTOBER 2017
Layout Guidelines (continued)
Any tendency to activate the thermal protection circuit indicates excessive power dissipation or an inadequate
heatsink. For reliable operation, limit junction temperature to 125°C maximum. To estimate the margin of safety
in a complete design (including heatsink), increase the ambient temperature until the thermal protection is
triggered; use worst-case loads and signal conditions. For good reliability, thermal protection triggers at least
35°C above the maximum expected ambient condition of a particular application. This configuration produces a
worst-case junction temperature of 125°C at the highest expected ambient temperature and worst-case load.
The internal protection circuitry of the TPS799 is designed to protect against overload conditions. This circuitry is
not intended to replace proper heatsinking. Continuously running the device into thermal shutdown degrades
device reliability.
10.1.2.2 Power Dissipation
The ability to remove heat from the die is different for each package type, presenting different considerations in
the PCB layout. The PCB area around the device that is free of other components moves the head from the
device to the ambient air. Performance data for JEDEC low- and high-K boards are given in the Thermal
Information table near the front of this data sheet. Using heavier copper increases the effectiveness in removing
heat from the device. The addition of plated through-holes to heat-dissipating layers also improves heatsink
effectiveness.
Power dissipation depends on input voltage and load conditions. Power dissipation is equal to the product of the
output current times the voltage drop across the output pass element, as shown in Equation 2:
P D + ǒVIN*V OUTǓ @ I OUT
