The TLV701 LDO supports a low dropout of typically
850 mV at 100 mA of load current. The low quiescent
current (3.4 μA typically) is stable over the entire
range of output load current (0 mA to 150 mA). The
TLV701 also features an internal soft-start to lower the
inrush current. The built-in overcurrent limit protection
helps protect the regulator in the event of a load short
or fault.

All voltages are with respect to GND.
An input capacitor is not required for LDO stability. However, an input capacitor with an effective value of 0.047 μF is
recommended to counteract the effect of source resistance and inductance, which may in some cases cause symptoms of system
level instability such as ringing or oscillation, especially in the presence of load transients.
All capacitor values are assumed to derate to 50% of the nominal capacitor value. Maintain an effective output capacitance of 0.47 μF
minimum for the stability.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TLV701 low-dropout regulator (LDO) consumes only 3.4 μA of quiescent current across the entire output
current range, and offers a wide input voltage range and low-dropout voltage in a small package. The device,
which operates over an input range of 2.5 V to 24 V, is stable with any output capacitor greater than or equal
to 0.47 μF. The low quiescent current across the complete load current range makes the TLV701 designed
for powering battery-operated applications. The TLV701 has internal soft-start to control inrush current into the
output capacitor. This LDO also has overcurrent protection during a load-short or fault condition on the output.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Wide Supply Range
This device has an operational input supply range of 2.5 V to 24 V, allowing for a wide range of applications. This
wide supply range is designed for applications that have either large transients or high DC voltage supplies.
7.3.2 Low Quiescent Current
This device only requires 3.4 μA (typical) of quiescent current across the complete load current range (0 mA to
150 mA) and has a maximum current consumption of 4.5 μA (for new device only) at –40°C to +125°C.
7.3.3 Dropout Voltage (VDO)
Dropout voltage (VDO) is defined as the input voltage minus the output voltage (VIN – VOUT) at the rated output
current (IRATED), where the pass transistor is fully on. IRATED is the maximum IOUT listed in the Recommended
Operating Conditions table. In dropout operation, the pass transistor is in the ohmic or triode region of operation,
and acts as a switch. The dropout voltage indirectly specifies a minimum input voltage greater than the nominal
programmed output voltage at which the output voltage is expected to stay in regulation. If the input voltage falls
to less than the value required to maintain output regulation, the output voltage falls as well.
For a CMOS regulator, the dropout voltage is determined by the drain-source, on-state resistance (RDS(ON)) of
the pass transistor. Therefore, if the linear regulator operates at less than the rated current, the dropout voltage
for that current scales accordingly. Use Equation 1 to calculate the RDS(ON) of the device.

7.3.4 Current Limit
The device has an internal current limit circuit that protects the regulator during transient high-load current faults
or shorting events. The current limit is a brick-wall scheme. In a high-load current fault, the brick-wall scheme
limits the output current to the current limit (ICL). ICL is listed in the Electrical Characteristics table.
The output voltage is not regulated when the device is in current limit. When a current limit event occurs, the
device begins to heat up because of the increase in power dissipation. When the device is in brick-wall current
limit, the pass transistor dissipates power [(VIN – VOUT) × ICL]. For more information on current limits, see the
Know Your Limits application note.

7.4.1 Normal Operation
The device regulates to the nominal output voltage under the following conditions:
•
•
•
The input voltage is greater than the nominal output voltage plus the dropout voltage (VOUT(nom) + VDO)
The output current is less than the current limit (IOUT < ICL)
The device junction temperature is greater than –40°C and less than +125°C
7.4.2 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, the output voltage
tracks the input voltage. During this mode, the transient performance of the device becomes significantly
degraded because the pass transistor is in the ohmic or triode region, and acts as a switch. Line or load
transients in dropout can result in large output voltage deviations.
When the device is in a steady dropout state (defined as when the device is in dropout, VIN < VOUT(NOM) + VDO,
directly after being in a normal regulation state, but not during start up), the pass transistor is driven into the
ohmic or triode region. When the input voltage returns to a value greater than or equal to the nominal output
voltage plus the dropout voltage (VOUT(NOM) + VDO), the output voltage can overshoot for a short period of time
while the device pulls the pass transistor back into the linear region.

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, as well as validating and testing their design
implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The TLV701 LDO regulator is designed for battery-powered applications and is a good attachment to low-power
microcontrollers (such as the MSP430) because of the device low IQ performance across the entire load current
range. The ultra-low supply current of the TLV701 maximizes efficiency at light loads, and the high input voltage
range and flexibility of output voltage selection in fixed output levels makes the device applicable for supplies
such as unconditioned solar panels.

8.2.1 Design Requirements
Select the desired device based on the output voltage.
Provide an input supply with adequate headroom to account for dropout and output current to account for the
GND pin current, and power the load.
8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 External Capacitor Requirements
The device is designed to be stable using low equivalent series resistance (ESR) ceramic capacitors at the input
and output. Multilayer ceramic capacitors have become the industry standard for these types of applications and
are recommended, but must be used with good judgment. Ceramic capacitors that employ X7R-, X5R-, and
C0G-rated dielectric materials provide relatively good capacitive stability across temperature, whereas the use of
Y5V-rated capacitors is discouraged because of large variations in capacitance.
Regardless of the ceramic capacitor type selected, the effective capacitance varies with operating voltage and
temperature. Generally, expect the effective capacitance to decrease by as much as 50%. The input and output
capacitors recommended in the Recommended Operating Conditions table account for an effective capacitance
of approximately 50% of the nominal value.
8.2.2.2 Input and Output Capacitor Requirements
Although an input capacitor is not required for stability, good analog design practice is to connect a capacitor
from IN to GND. This capacitor counteracts reactive input sources and improves transient response, input ripple,
and PSRR. Use an input capacitor if the source impedance is more than 0.5 Ω. A higher value capacitor can be
necessary if large, fast rise-time load or line transients are anticipated or if the device is located several inches
from the input power source.
Dynamic performance of the device is improved by using a large output capacitor. Use an output capacitor within
the range specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table for stability.

8.2.2.3 Reverse Current
Excessive reverse current can damage this device. Reverse current flows through the intrinsic body diode of the
PMOS pass transistor instead of the normal conducting channel. At high magnitudes, this current flow degrades
the long-term reliability of the device.
Conditions where reverse current can occur are outlined in this section, all of which can exceed the absolute
maximum rating of VOUT ≤ VIN + 0.3 V. These conditions are:
•
•
•
If the device has a large COUT and the input supply collapses with little or no load current
The output is biased when the input supply is not established
The output is biased above the input supply
If reverse current flow is expected in the application, external protection is recommended to protect the device.
Reverse current is not limited in the device, so external limiting is required if extended reverse voltage operation
is anticipated. Limit reverse current to 5% or less of the rated output current of the device in the event this
current cannot be avoided.
Figure 8-2 shows one approach for protecting the device.

8.2.2.4 Power Dissipation (PD)
Circuit reliability requires consideration of the device power dissipation, location of the circuit on the printed
circuit board (PCB), and correct sizing of the thermal plane. The PCB area around the regulator must have few
or no other heat-generating devices that cause added thermal stress.
To first-order approximation, power dissipation in the regulator depends on the input-to-output voltage difference
and load conditions. The following equation calculates power dissipation (PD).
PD = (VIN – VOUT) × IOUT
(2)
Note
Power dissipation can be minimized, and therefore greater efficiency can be achieved, by correct
selection of the system voltage rails. For the lowest power dissipation, use the minimum input voltage
required for correct output regulation.
For devices with a thermal pad, the primary heat conduction path for the device package is through the thermal
pad to the PCB. Solder the thermal pad to a copper pad area under the device. This pad area must contain an
array of plated vias that conduct heat to additional copper planes for increased heat dissipation.

SBVS161A – NOVEMBER 2011 – REVISED APRIL 2023
The maximum power dissipation determines the maximum allowable ambient temperature (TA) for the device.
According to the following equation, power dissipation and junction temperature are most often related by the
junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of the combined PCB and device package and the temperature of
the ambient air (TA).
TJ = TA + (RθJA × PD)
(3)
Thermal resistance (RθJA) is highly dependent on the heat-spreading capability built into the particular PCB
design, and therefore varies according to the total copper area, copper weight, and location of the planes.
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance listed in the Thermal Information table is determined by the JEDEC
standard PCB and copper-spreading area, and is used as a relative measure of package thermal performance.
8.2.2.5 Estimating Junction Temperature
The JEDEC standard now recommends the use of psi (Ψ) thermal metrics to estimate the junction temperatures
of the linear regulator when in-circuit on a typical PCB board application. These metrics are not thermal
resistance parameters and instead offer a practical and relative way to estimate junction temperature. These
psi metrics are determined to be significantly independent of the copper area available for heat-spreading.
The Thermal Information table lists the primary thermal metrics, which are the junction-to-top characterization
parameter (ψJT) and junction-to-board characterization parameter (ψJB). These parameters provide two methods
for calculating the junction temperature (TJ), as described in the following equations. Use the junction-to-top
characterization parameter (ψJT) with the temperature at the center-top of device package (TT) to calculate
the junction temperature. Use the junction-to-board characterization parameter (ψJB) with the PCB surface
temperature 1 mm from the device package (TB) to calculate the junction temperature.
TJ = TT + ψJT × PD
(4)
where:
•
•
PD is the dissipated power
TT is the temperature at the center-top of the device package
TJ = TB + ψJB × PD
(5)
where:
•
TB is the PCB surface temperature measured 1 mm from the device package and centered on the package
edge
For detailed information on the thermal metrics and how to use them, see the Semiconductor and IC Package
Thermal Metrics application note.

SBVS161A – NOVEMBER 2011 – REVISED APRIL 2023
8.3 Best Design Practices
Place at least one 0.47-µF capacitor as close as possible to the OUT and GND pins of the regulator.
Do not connect the output capacitor to the regulator using a long, thin trace.
Connect an input capacitor as close as possible to the IN and GND pins of the regulator for best performance.
Do not exceed the absolute maximum ratings.
8.4 Power Supply Recommendations
The TLV701 is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 2.5 V and 24 V. The input
voltage range must provide adequate headroom for the device to have a regulated output. Inductive impedances
between the input supply and the IN pin can create significant voltage excursions at the IN pin during start-up or
load transient events. If inductive impedances are unavoidable, use an input capacitor.
8.5 Layout
8.5.1 Layout Guidelines
For best overall performance, place all circuit components on the same side of the printed circuit board (PCB)
and as near as practical to the respective LDO pin connections. Place ground return connections for the input
and output capacitors as close to the GND pin as possible, using wide, component-side, copper planes. Do
not use vias and long traces to create LDO circuit connections to the input capacitor, output capacitor, or the
resistor divider because this practice negatively affects system performance. This grounding and layout scheme
minimizes inductive parasitics, and thereby reduces load-current transients, minimizes noise, and increases
circuit stability. A ground reference plane is also recommended and is either embedded in the PCB or located
on the bottom side of the PCB opposite the components. This reference plane serves to assure accuracy of the
output voltage and shield the LDO from noise.
8.5.1.1 Power Dissipation
To provide reliable operation, worst-case junction temperature must not exceed 125°C. This restriction limits the
power dissipation the regulator can handle in any given application. To make sure 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 by:
where:
•
•
•
PD max =
TJmax− TA
RθJA
(6)
TJmax is the maximum allowable junction temperature
RθJA is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for the package (see the Thermal Information table)
TA is the ambient temperature
The regulator dissipation is calculated by:
PD = VIN − VOUT × IOUT
