TLV70018-Q1, TLV70012-Q1
SLVSB67C – NOVEMBER 2011 – REVISED JUNE 2017
TLV700xx-Q1 300-mA, Low-IQ, Low-Dropout Regulator
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
The TLV70018-Q1 and TLV70012-Q1 low-dropout
(LDO) linear regulators are low quiescent current
devices with excellent line and load transient
performance. A precision band-gap and error
amplifier provides overall 2% accuracy. Low output
noise, high power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR), and
low-dropout voltage make this series of devices ideal
for powering power-sensitive loads. All device
versions have thermal shutdown and current limit for
detecting fault conditions.

Qualified for Automotive Applications
AEC-Q100 Qualified With the Following Results:
– Device Temperature Grade 1: –40°C to 125°C
Ambient Operating Temperature Range
– Device HBM ESD Classification Level H2
– Device CDM ESD Classification Level C3B
2% Accuracy
Low IQ: 35 μA
Fixed-Output Voltages: 1.2 V and 1.8 V
High PSRR: 68 dB at 1 kHz
Stable With Effective Capacitance of 0.1 μF(1)
Thermal Shutdown and Overcurrent Protection
Furthermore, these devices are stable with an
effective output capacitance of only 0.1 μF. This
feature enables the use of cost-effective capacitors
that have higher bias voltages and temperature
derating. The devices regulate to specified accuracy
with no output load.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TLV70018-Q1 and TLV70012-Q1 low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators are low-quiescent-current devices with
excellent line and load transient performance. These LDOs are designed for power-sensitive applications. A
precision bandgap and error amplifier provides overall 2% accuracy together with low output noise, very high
power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR), and low dropout voltage.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Internal Current Limit
The TLV70018-Q1 and TLV70012-Q1 internal current limit helps to protect the regulator during fault conditions.
During current limit, the output sources a fixed amount of current that is largely independent of the output
voltage. In such a case, the output voltage is not regulated, and is VOUT = ILIMIT × RLOAD. The PMOS pass
transistor dissipates (VIN – VOUT) × ILIMIT until thermal shutdown is triggered and the device turns off. As the
device cools, it is turned on by the internal thermal shutdown circuit. If the fault condition continues, the device
cycles between current limit and thermal shutdown. See the Thermal Considerations section for more details.
The PMOS pass element in the TLV70018-Q1 and TLV70012-Q1 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 to 5% of the rated output current is recommended.
7.3.2 Dropout Voltage
The TLV70018-Q1 and TLV70012-Q1 use a PMOS pass transistor to achieve low dropout. When (VIN – VOUT) is
less than the dropout voltage (VDO), the PMOS pass device is in the linear region of operation and the input-tooutput resistance is the RDS(ON) of the PMOS pass element. VDO scales approximately with output current
because the PMOS device behaves as a resistor in dropout.
As with any linear regulator, PSRR and transient response are degraded as (VIN – VOUT) approaches dropout.
Figure 11 illustrates this effect.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.3 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The TLV70018-Q1 and TLV70012-Q1 use an undervoltage lockout circuit to keep the output shut off until internal
circuitry is operating properly.
7.3.4 Thermal Shutdown
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 as a
result of overheating.
Any tendency to activate the thermal protection circuit indicates excessive power dissipation or an inadequate
heatsink. For reliable operation, junction temperature should be limited 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 should
trigger at least 40°C above the maximum expected ambient condition of the 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 TLV70018-Q1 and TLV70012-Q1 has been designed to protect against
overload conditions. It was not intended to replace proper heatsinking. Continuously running the TLV70018-Q1 or
TLV70012-Q1 into thermal shutdown degrades device reliability.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Shutdown
The enable pin (EN) is active high. The device is enabled when voltage at EN pin goes above 0.9 V. This
relatively lower value of voltage required to turn the LDO on can be exploited to power the LDO with a GPIO of
recent processors whose GPIO Logic 1 voltage level is lower than traditional microcontrollers. The device is
turned off when the EN pin is held at less than 0.4 V. When shutdown capability is not required, EN can be
connected to the IN pin.
7.4.2 Operation with VIN Less than 2 V
The TLV70018-Q1 and TLV70012-Q1 devices operate with input voltages above 2 V. The typical UVLO voltage
is 1.9 V and the device operates at an input voltage above 2 V. When input voltage falls below UVLO voltage,
the device will shutdown.
7.4.3 Operation with VIN Greater than 2 V
When VIN is greater than 2 V, if input voltage is higher than desired output voltage plus dropout voltage, the
output voltage is equal to the desired value. Otherwise, output voltage will be VIN minus dropout voltage.

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 TLV70018-Q1 and TLV70012-Q1 consume low quiescent current and deliver excellent line and load
transient performance. These characteristics, combined with low noise and very good PSRR with little (VIN –
VOUT) headroom, make this family of devices ideal for portable RF applications. This family of regulators offers
current limit and thermal protection, and is specified from –40°C to 125°C.
