3-mm × 3-mm VSON
Operating Temperature Range:
–40°C to 125°C
These linear regulators include a CMOS logic-levelcompatible enable pin and capacitor-programmable
soft-start function that allows for customized powermanagement schemes. Other available features
include built-in current limit and thermal shutdown
protection to safeguard the device and system during
fault conditions.
The TPS7A49 family is designed using bipolar
technology, and is ideal for high-accuracy, highprecision instrumentation applications where clean
voltage rails are critical to maximize system
performance. This design makes the device an
excellent choice to power operational amplifiers,
analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), digital-to-analog
converters (DACs), and other high-performance
analog circuitry.
In addition, the TPS7A49 family of linear regulators is
suitable for post dc-dc converter regulation. By
filtering out the output voltage ripple inherent to dc-dc
switching conversion, maximum system performance
is provided in sensitive instrumentation, test and
measurement, audio, and RF applications.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TPS7A49 family of devices are wide VIN, low-noise, 150-mA linear regulators (LDOs). These devices feature
an enable pin, programmable soft-start, current limiting, and thermal protection circuitry that allow the device to
be used in a wide variety of applications. As bipolar-based devices, the TPS7A49 family are ideal for highaccuracy, high-precision applications at higher voltages.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Internal Current Limit
The fixed internal current limit of the TPS7A49 family helps protect the regulator during fault conditions. The
maximum amount of current the device can source is the current limit (309 mA, typical), and is largely
independent of output voltage. For reliable operation, the device does not operate in current limit for extended
periods of time.
8.3.2 Programmable Soft-Start
The NR capacitor also functions as a soft-start capacitor to slow down the rise time of the output. The rise time of
the output when using an NR capacitor is governed by Equation 1. In Equation 1, tSS is the soft-start time in
milliseconds, and CNR/SS is the capacitance at the NR pin in nanofarads.
tSS (ms) = 1.4 ´ CNR/SS (nF)
(1)
8.3.3 Enable Pin Operation
The TPS7A49 provides an enable feature (EN) that turns on the regulator when VEN > VEN(high) and disables the
device when VEN < VEN(low).
8.3.4 Thermal Protection
Thermal protection disables the output when the junction temperature rises to approximately 170°C, allowing the
device to cool. When the junction temperature cools to approximately 150°C, the output circuitry is enabled.
Depending on power dissipation, thermal resistance, and ambient temperature, the thermal protection circuit can
cycle on and off. This cycling limits the dissipation of the regulator, protecting it from damage as a result of
overheating.

SBVS121E – AUGUST 2010 – REVISED MAY 2015
Feature Description (continued)
Any tendency to activate the thermal protection circuit indicates excessive power dissipation or an inadequate
heatsink. For reliable operation, limit junction temperature to a maximum of 125°C. 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, trigger thermal protection at least 45°C
above the maximum expected ambient condition of a particular application. This configuration produces a worstcase junction temperature of 125°C at the highest expected ambient temperature and worst-case load.
The internal protection circuitry of the TPS7A49 is designed to protect against overload conditions. The
protection circuitry is not intended to replace proper heatsinking. Continuously running the TPS7A49 into thermal
shutdown degrades device reliability.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Normal Operation
The device regulates to the nominal output voltage under the following conditions:
• The input voltage is at least as high as VIN(min).
• The input voltage is greater than the nominal output voltage added to the dropout voltage.
• The enable voltage has previously exceeded the enable rising threshold voltage and has not decreased
below the enable falling threshold.
• The output current is less than the current limit.
• The device junction temperature is less than the maximum specified junction temperature.
8.4.2 Dropout Operation
If the input voltage is lower than the nominal output voltage plus the specified dropout voltage, but all other
conditions are met for normal operation, the device operates in dropout mode. In this mode of operation, the
output voltage is the same as the input voltage minus the dropout voltage. The transient performance of the
device is significantly degraded because the pass device (such as a bipolar junction transistor, or BJT) is in
saturation and no longer controls the current through the LDO. Line or load transients in dropout can result in
large output voltage deviations.
8.4.3 Disabled
The device is disabled under the following conditions:
• The enable voltage is less than the enable falling threshold voltage or has not yet exceeded the enable rising
threshold.
• The device junction temperature is greater than the thermal shutdown temperature.
Table 1 lists the conditions that lead to the different modes of operation.

9 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.
9.1 Application Information
The TPS7A49 devices belongs to a family of linear regulators that use an innovative bipolar process to achieve
ultralow-noise and very high PSRR levels at a wide input voltage range. These features, combined with a high
thermal-performance HVSSOP-8 with a PowerPAD package make this device ideal for high-performance analog
applications.
9.1.1 Adjustable Operation
The TPS7A4901 device has an output voltage range of VFB(nom) to 33 V. The nominal output voltage of the
device is set by two external resistors; see Figure 29.
R1 and R2 can be calculated for any output voltage range using the formula shown in Equation 2. To ensure
stability under no-load conditions, this resistive network must provide a current greater than or equal to 5 μA.
V
VOUT
R1 = R2
- 1 , where FB(nom) > 5 mA
R2
VFB(nom)
(2)
If greater voltage accuracy is required, take into account the output voltage offset contributions resulting from the
feedback pin current and use 0.1% tolerance resistors.
9.1.2 Capacitor Recommendations
Use low-equivalent series resistance (ESR) capacitors for the input, output, noise reduction, and bypass
capacitors. Ceramic capacitors with X7R and X5R dielectrics are preferred. These dielectrics offer more stable
characteristics. Ceramic X7R capacitors offer improved overtemperature performance, whereas ceramic X5R
capacitors are more cost-effective and are available in higher values.
High ESR capacitors can degrade PSRR. To ensure stability, maximum ESR must be less than 200 mΩ.
9.1.3 Input and Output Capacitor Requirements
The TPS7A49 family of positive, high-voltage linear regulators achieve stability with a minimum input and output
capacitance of 2.2 μF; however, TI highly recommends using a 10-μF capacitor to maximize ac performance.
Place the input and output capacitors as close to the pin as possible, on the same side as the device; do not use
vias between the capacitor and the pin.
9.1.4 Noise-Reduction and Feed-Forward Capacitor Requirements
Although noise-reduction and feed-forward capacitors (CNR/SS and CFF, respectively) are not needed to achieve
stability, TI highly recommends using 10-nF capacitors to minimize noise and maximize ac performance. CNR/SS
is a noise-reduction capacitor because it filters out noise from the band gap. For more information on CFF, refer
to application report, Pros and Cons of Using a Feedforward Capacitor with a Low-Dropout Regulator
(SBVA042). This application report explains the advantages of using CFF (also known as CBYP), and the
problems that can occur when using this capacitor.
9.1.5 Maximum AC Performance
To maximize noise and PSRR performance, TI recommends including 10 μF or higher input and output
capacitors, and 10-nF noise-reduction and bypass capacitors; see Figure 29. The solution illustrated in Figure 29
delivers minimum noise levels of 15.4 μVRMS and power-supply rejection levels above 52 dB from 10 Hz to
400 kHz; see Figure 18 and Figure 25.

Application Information (continued)
9.1.6 Output Noise
The TPS7A49 provides low output noise when a noise reduction capacitor (CNR/SS) is used.
The noise-reduction capacitor serves as a filter for the internal reference. By using a 10-nF noise reduction
capacitor, the output noise is reduced by approximately 75% (from 69 μVRMS to 17 μVRMS); see Figure 26.
The low output voltage noise of the TPS7A49 makes the device an ideal solution for powering noise-sensitive
circuitry.
9.1.7 Post DC-DC Converter Filtering
Most of the time, the voltage rails available in a system do not match the voltage requirements for the system.
These rails must be stepped up or down, depending on specific voltage requirements.
DC-DC converters are the preferred solution to step up or down a voltage rail when current consumption is not
negligible. These converters offer high efficiency with minimum heat generation, but have one primary
disadvantage: these converters introduce a high-frequency component (and the associated harmonics) in
addition to the dc output signal.
If not filtered properly, this high-frequency component degrades analog circuitry performance, reducing overall
system accuracy and precision.
The TPS7A49 offers a wide-bandwidth, very-high power-supply rejection ratio. This specification makes the
device ideal for post dc-dc converter filtering, as shown in Figure 28. TI highly recommends using the maximum
performance schematic illustrated in Figure 29. Also, verify that the fundamental frequency (and its first
harmonic, if possible) is within the bandwidth of the regulator PSRR; see Figure 18.

9.1.8 Power-Supply Rejection
The 10-nF noise-reduction capacitor greatly improves the TPS7A49 power-supply rejection, achieving up to
15 dB of additional power-supply rejection for frequencies between 110 Hz and 200 kHz.
Additionally, ac performance can be maximized by adding a 10-nF bypass capacitor (CFF) from the FB pin to the
OUT pin. This capacitor greatly improves power-supply rejection at lower frequencies for the band from 10 Hz to
200 kHz; see Figure 18.
The very high power-supply rejection of the TPS7A49 makes the device a good choice for powering highperformance analog circuitry, such as operational amplifiers, ADCs, DACS, and audio amplifiers.

Application Information (continued)
9.1.9 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.
9.1.10 Audio Applications
Audio applications are extremely sensitive to any distortion and noise in the audio band from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
This stringent requirement demands clean voltage rails to power critical high-performance audio systems.
The very high power-supply rejection ratio (> 55 dB) and low noise at the audio band of the TPS7A49 maximize
device performance for audio applications; see Figure 18.
9.1.11 Power for Precision Analog
One of the primary TPS7A49 applications is to provide ultralow-noise voltage rails to high-performance analog
circuitry to maximize system accuracy and precision.
The TPS7A49 family of positive high-voltage linear regulators, in conjunction with its negative counterpart (the
TPS7A30xx family of negative high-voltage linear regulators), provides ultralow noise, and positive and negative
voltage rails for high-performance analog circuitry (such as operational amplifiers, ADCs, DACs, and audio
amplifiers).
Because of the ultralow noise levels at high voltages, analog circuitry with high-voltage input supplies can be
used. This characteristic allows for high-performance analog solutions to optimize the voltage range and
maximize system accuracy.

9.2.1 Design Requirements
The maximum design goals are as follows:
• VIN = 3 V
• VOUT = 1.2 V
• IOUT = 150 mA
The design optimizes transient response and meets a start-up time of 14 ms with a start-up dominated by the
soft-start feature. The input supply comes from a supply on the same printed circuit board (PCB). The design
circuit is shown in Figure 29.
The design space consists of CIN, COUT, CNR/SS, R1, and R2, at TA(max) = 75°C.
9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The first step when designing with a linear regulator is to examine the maximum load current, along with the
input and output voltage requirements, to determine if the device thermal and dropout voltage requirements can
be met. At 150 mA, the input dropout voltage of the TPS7A49 family is a maximum of 600 mV over temperature;
therefore, the dropout headroom of 1.8 V is sufficient for operation over both input and output voltage accuracy.
Dropout headroom is calculated as VIN – VOUT – VDO(max), and for optimal performance must be at least 1 V.
VDO(max) is the maximum dropout allowed, given worst-case load conditions.

SBVS121E – AUGUST 2010 – REVISED MAY 2015
Typical Application (continued)
The maximum power dissipated in the linear regulator is the maximum voltage dropped across the pass element
from the input to the output, multiplied by the maximum load current. In this example, the maximum voltage drop
across in the pass element is (3 V – 1.2 V), resulting in VIN – VOUT = 1.8 V. The power dissipated in the pass
element is calculated by taking this voltage drop multiplied by the maximum load current. For this example, the
maximum power dissipated in the linear regulator is 0.2724 W, and is calculated as Equation 3:
PD = (VIN – VOUT) (IMAX) + (VIN) (IQ)
(3)
When the power dissipated in the linear regulator is known, the corresponding junction temperature rise can be
calculated. To calculate the junction temperature rise above ambient, the power dissipated must be multiplied by
the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. This calculation gives the worst-case junction temperature; good
thermal design can significantly reduce this number. For thermal resistance information, refer to the Power
Dissipation section. For this example, using the DGN package, the maximum junction temperature rise is
calculated to be 17.3°C. The maximum junction temperature rise is calculated by adding the junction temperature
rise to the maximum ambient temperature, which is 75°C for this example. For this example, calculate the
maximum junction temperature to be 103.8°C. Keep in mind that the maximum junction temperate must be below
92.3°C for reliable device operation. Additional ground planes, added thermal vias, and air flow all help to lower
the maximum junction temperature.
Use the following guidelines to select the values for the remaining components:
To ensure stability under no-load conditions, the current through the resistor network must be greater than 5 µA,
as shown in Equation 4:
VREF(max)
> 5mA ® R2 < 242.4 kW
R2
(4)
Next, set the value of R2 to 100 kΩ for a standard 1% value resistor and use Equation 5 to calculate the value of
R1.

(5)
For R1, select a standard, 1%, 68.1-kΩ resistor.
Use Equation 6 to calculate the start-up time, tSS.
tSS (ms) = 1.4 ´ CNR/SS = 14 ms
CSS = 10 nF
(6)
For the soft-start to dominate the start-up conditions, place the start-up time as a result of the current limit at two
decades below the soft-start time (at 140 µs). COUT must be at least 2.2 µF for stability, as shown in Equation 7
and Equation 8:

(7)
COUT(max) = tSS(CL)

(8)
For CIN, assume that the 3-V supply has some inductance, and is placed several inches away from the PCB. For
this case, select a 2.2-µF ceramic input capacitor to ensure that the input impedance is negligible to the LDO
control loop and to keep the physical size and cost of the capacitor low; this component is a common-value
capacitor.
For better PSRR for this design, use a 10-µF input and output capacitor. To reduce the peaks from transients but
slow down the recovery time, increase the output capacitor size or add additional output capacitors.

9.3 Do's and Don’ts
Place at least one low-ESR, 2.2-µF capacitor as close as possible to both the IN and OUT pins of the regulator
to the GND pin.
Provide adequate thermal paths away from the device.
Do not place the input or output capacitor more than 10 mm away from the regulator.
Do not exceed the absolute maximum ratings.
Do not float the enable (EN) pin.
Do not resistively or inductively load the NR/SS pin.
10 Power Supply Recommendations
The input supply for the LDO must be within its recommended operating conditions (that is, between 3 V to 35
V). The input voltage must provide adequate headroom in order for the device to have a regulated output. If the
input supply is noisy, additional input capacitors with low ESR can help improve the output noise performance.
The input and output supplies must also be bypassed with at least a 2.2-µF capacitor located near the input and
output pins. No other components must be located between these capacitors and the pins.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
Layout is a critical part of good power-supply design. There are several signal paths that conduct fast-changing
currents or voltages that can interact with stray inductance or parasitic capacitance to generate noise or degrade
the power-supply performance. To help eliminate these problems, bypass the IN pin to ground with a low-ESR
ceramic bypass capacitor with an X5R or X7R dielectric.
The GND pin must be tied directly to the PowerPAD under the device. Connect the PowerPAD to any internal
PCB ground planes using multiple vias directly under the device.
Equivalent series inductance (ESL) and equivalent series resistance (ESR) must be minimized to maximize
performance and ensure stability. Every capacitor (CIN, COUT, CNR/SS, and CFF) must be placed as close as
possible to the device and on the same side of the PCB as the regulator itself.
Do not place any of the capacitors on the opposite side of the PCB from where the regulator is installed. The use
of vias and long traces is strongly discouraged because these circuits can negatively affect system performance,
and can even cause instability.
11.1.1 Board Layout Recommendations to Improve PSRR and Noise Performance
To improve ac performance (such as PSRR, output noise, and transient response), TI recommends that the
board be designed with separate ground planes for VIN and VOUT, with each ground plane star-connected only at
the GND pin of the device. In addition, the ground connection for the bypass capacitor must connect directly to
the GND pin of the device.
11.1.2 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 heat from the
device to the ambient air. Performance data for JEDEC low- and high-K boards are given in Thermal Information.
Using heavier copper increases the effectiveness in removing heat from the device. The addition of plated
through-holes to heat-dissipating layers also improves the heatsink effectiveness.
Power dissipation depends on input voltage and load conditions. Power dissipation (PD) can be approximated by
the product of the output current times the voltage drop across the output pass element (VIN to VOUT), as shown
in Equation 9:
PD VIN VOUT u IOUT

Layout Guidelines (continued)
Figure 36 shows the maximum ambient temperature versus the power dissipation of the TPS7A49. Figure 36
assumes the device is soldered on a JEDEC standard, high-K layout with no airflow over the board. Actual board
thermal impedances vary widely. If the application requires high power dissipation, having a thorough
understanding of the board temperature and thermal impedances is helpful to ensure the TPS7A49 does not
operate above a junction temperature of 125°C.

Figure 36. Maximum Ambient Temperature vs Device Power Dissipation
Estimating the junction temperature can be done by using the thermal metrics ΨJT and ΨJB; see the Thermal
Information table. These metrics are a more accurate representation of the heat transfer characteristics of the die
and the package than RθJA. The junction temperature can be estimated with Equation 10.
YJT: TJ = TT + YJT · PD
YJB: TJ = TB + YJB · PD
where
•
•
•
PD is the power dissipation given by Equation 9,
TT is the temperature at the center-top of the device package, and
TB is the PCB temperature measured 1 mm away from the device package on the PCB surface.
(10)
NOTE
Both TT and TB can be measured on actual application boards using a thermo-gun (an
infrared thermometer).
For more information about measuring TT and TB, see the application note Using New Thermal Metrics
(SBVA025), available for download at www.ti.com.
