HVAC and building security systems
Smart meters
The wide bandwidth PSRR performance of the
TLV761 is typically greater than 60 dB at 1 kHz
and 40 dB at 1 MHz, which helps attenuate the
switching frequency of an upstream DC/DC converter
and minimizes post regulator filtering.
Additionally, the TLV761 has an internal soft start
feature to reduce inrush current during start-up,
which can help save space and cost in a design by
minimizing input capacitance. The TLV761 features a
foldback current limit that limits the power dissipation
of the device during high-load current faults or
shorting events.

The TLV761 is a low quiescent current, high PSRR linear regulator capable of sourcing load current up to 1 A.
This device is designed for high current applications such as appliances where there are increasingly stringent
requirements for standby and active power consumption.
This device features integrated foldback current limit, thermal shutdown, internal output pulldown, and
undervoltage lockout (UVLO). This device delivers excellent line and load transient performance. The TLV761
is low noise and exhibits very good PSRR. The operating ambient temperature range of the device is –40°C to
+125°C.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Dropout Voltage
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. 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 nominal output regulation, then 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. The following equation calculates the RDS(ON) of the device.

7.3.2 Foldback 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 hybrid brick-wall-foldback scheme. The current limit transitions from a
brick-wall scheme to a foldback scheme at the foldback voltage (VFOLDBACK). In a high-load current fault with
the output voltage above VFOLDBACK, the brick-wall scheme limits the output current to the current limit (ICL).
When the voltage drops below VFOLDBACK, a foldback current limit activates that scales back the current as the
output voltage approaches GND. When the output is shorted, the device supplies a typical current called the
short-circuit current limit (ISC). ICL and ISC are listed in the Electrical Characteristics table.
For this device, VFOLDBACK = 50% × VOUT(nom).
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 – V OUT) × ICL]. When the device output is shorted and the output
is below VFOLDBACK, the pass transistor dissipates power [(VIN – VOUT) × ISC]. If thermal shutdown is triggered,
the device turns off. After the device cools down, the internal thermal shutdown circuit turns the device back on.
If the output current fault condition continues, the device cycles between current limit and thermal shutdown. For
more information on current limits, see the Know Your Limits application note.

7.3.3 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The device has an independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit that monitors the input voltage, allowing a
controlled and consistent turn on and off of the output voltage. To prevent the device from turning off if the input
drops during turn on, the UVLO has hysteresis as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table.

SBVS349B – FEBRUARY 2020 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2023
7.3.4 Thermal Shutdown
The device contains a thermal shutdown protection circuit to disable the device when the junction temperature
(TJ) of the pass transistor rises to TSD(shutdown) (typical). Thermal shutdown hysteresis assures that the device
resets (turns on) when the temperature falls to TSD(reset) (typical).
The thermal time-constant of the semiconductor die is fairly short, thus the device may cycle on and off
when thermal shutdown is reached until power dissipation is reduced. Power dissipation during start-up can
be high from large VIN – VOUT voltage drops across the device or from high inrush currents charging large
output capacitors. Under some conditions, the thermal shutdown protection disables the device before start-up
completes.
For reliable operation, limit the junction temperature to the maximum listed in the Recommended Operating
Conditions table. Operation above this maximum temperature causes the device to exceed operational
specifications. Although the internal protection circuitry of the device is designed to protect against thermal
overall conditions, this circuitry is not intended to replace proper heat sinking. Continuously running the device
into thermal shutdown or above the maximum recommended junction temperature reduces long-term reliability.
7.4 Device Functional Modes

table for parameter values.

7.4.2 Normal Operation
The device regulates to the nominal output voltage when the following conditions are met:
•
•
•
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 less than the thermal shutdown temperature (TJ < TSD)
7.4.3 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
8.1.1 Recommended Capacitor Types
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.
8.1.2 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. An input capacitor is recommended if the source impedance is more than 0.5 Ω. A higher value
capacitor may 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 with the use of an output capacitor. Use an output capacitor
within the range specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table for stability.
8.1.3 Reverse Current
Excessive reverse current can damage this device. Reverse current flows through the intrinsic body diode of the
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.
•
•
•
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.

8.1.4 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.
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.

8.1.5 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.
8.2 Typical Application
The TLV761 is a low quiescent current linear regulator designed for high current applications. Unlike most typical
high current linear regulators, the TLV761 consumes significantly less quiescent current. This device delivers
excellent line and load transient performance. The device is low noise and exhibits a very good PSRR. As a
result, the TLV761 is designed for high current applications that require very sensitive power-supply rails.
This regulator offers both current limit and thermal protection. The operating ambient temperature range of the
device is –40°C to +125°C.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
For this design example, the 3.3-V, fixed-version TLV76133 is selected and is powered by a standard 12-V input
supply. The dropout voltage (VDO) is kept within the TLV761 dropout voltage specification for the 3.3-V output
voltage option to keep the device in regulation under all load and temperature conditions for this design. A
1.0-µF output capacitor is recommended for excellent load transient response. The input capacitor is optional
and is used to reduce the input impedance of the circuit and improve the transient response.
As with any regulator, increasing the size of the output capacitor reduces overshoot and undershoot magnitude.
8.3 Best Design Practices
Place input and output capacitors as close to the device as possible.
Use a ceramic output capacitor.
Do not exceed the device absolute maximum ratings.
8.4 Power Supply Recommendations
Connect a low output impedance power supply directly to the INPUT pin of the device . Inductive impedances
between the input supply and the INPUT pin can create significant voltage excursions at the INPUT pin during
start-up or load transient events.

8.5 Layout
8.5.1 Layout Guidelines
Place input and output capacitors as close to the device pins as possible. To improve characteristic AC
performance such as PSRR, output noise, and transient response, design the board with separate ground
planes for VIN and VOUT, with the ground plane connected only at the GND pin of the device. In addition, the
ground connection for the output capacitor must be connected directly to the GND pin of the device. Higher
value ESR capacitors can degrade PSRR performance.
