Dropout Voltage 100 mA simultaneously, pass element rDS(on) increases (see Figure 10) to a point such that the resulting
dropout voltage prevents the regulator from maintaining the specified tolerance range.
3. To calculate dropout voltage, use equation:
VDO = IO ⋅ rDS(on)
rDS(on) is a function of both output current and input voltage. The parametric table lists rDS(on) for VI = 2.4 V, 2.9 V, 3.9 V, and
5.9 V, which corresponds to dropout conditions for programmed output voltages of 2.5 V, 3 V, 4 V, and 6 V, respectively. For other
programmed values, refer to Figures 10 and 11.

§ This voltage is not recommended.
¶ Output voltage programmed to 2.5 V with closed-loop configuration (see application information).
NOTES: 2 When VI < 2.9 V and IO > 100 mA simultaneously, pass element rDS(on) increases (see Figure 10) to a point such that the resulting
dropout voltage prevents the regulator from maintaining the specified tolerance range.
3 To calculate dropout voltage, use equation:
VDO = IO ⋅ rDS(on)
rDS(on) is a function of both output current and input voltage. The parametric table lists rDS(on) for VI = 2.4 V, 2.9 V, 3.9 V, and
5.9 V, which corresponds to dropout conditions for programmed output voltages of 2.5 V, 3 V, 4 V, and 6 V, respectively. For other
programmed values, refer to Figures 10 and 11.

MICROPOWER LOW-DROPOUT (LDO) VOLTAGE REGULATORS
SLVS102G – MARCH 1995 – REVISED JUNE 2000
APPLICATION INFORMATION
The design of the TPS72xx family of low-dropout (LDO) regulators is based on the higher-current TPS71xx
family. These new families of regulators have been optimized for use in battery-operated equipment and feature
extremely low dropout voltages, low supply currents that remain constant over the full-output-current range of
the device, and an enable input to reduce supply currents to less than 0.5 µA when the regulator is turned off.
device operation
The TPS72xx uses a PMOS pass element to dramatically reduce both dropout voltage and supply current over
more conventional PNP-pass-element LDO designs. The PMOS transistor is a voltage-controlled device that,
unlike a PNP transistor, does not require increased drive current as output current increases. Supply current
in the TPS72xx is essentially constant from no-load to maximum.
Current limiting and thermal protection prevent damage by excessive output current and/or power dissipation.
The device switches into a constant-current mode at approximately 1 A; further load increases reduce the output
voltage instead of increasing the output current. The thermal protection shuts the regulator off if the junction
temperature rises above 165°C. Recovery is automatic when the junction temperature drops approximately 5°C
below the high temperature trip point. The PMOS pass element includes a back diode that safely conducts
reverse current when the input voltage level drops below the output voltage level.
A logic high on the enable input, EN, shuts off the output and reduces the supply current to less than 0.5 µA.
EN should be grounded in applications where the shutdown feature is not used.
Power good (PG) is an open-drain output signal used to indicate output-voltage status. A comparator circuit
continuously monitors the output voltage. When the output drops to approximately 95% of its nominal regulated
value, the comparator turns on and pulls PG low.
Transient loads or line pulses can also cause activation of PG if proper care is not taken in selecting the input
and output capacitors. Load transients that are faster than 5 µs can cause a signal on PG if high-ESR output
capacitors (greater than approximately 7 Ω) are used. A 1-µs transient causes a PG signal when using an output
capacitor with greater than 3.5 Ω of ESR. It is interesting to note that the output-voltage spike during the transient
can drop well below the reset threshold and still not trip if the transient duration is short. A 1-µs transient must
drop at least 500 mV below the threshold before tripping the PG circuit. A 2-µs transient trips PG at just 400 mV
below the threshold. Lower-ESR output capacitors help by reducing the drop in output voltage during a transient
and should be used when fast transients are expected.
A typical application circuit is shown in Figure 31.

external capacitor requirements
Although not required, a 0.047-µF to 0.1-µF ceramic bypass input capacitor, connected between IN and GND
and located close to the TPS72xx, is recommended to improve transient response and noise rejection. A
higher-value electrolytic input capacitor may be necessary if large, fast-rise-time load transients are anticipated
and the device is located several inches from the power source.
An output capacitor is required to stabilize the internal feedback loop. For most applications, a 10-µF to 15-µF
solid-tantalum capacitor with a 0.5-Ω resistor (see capacitor selection table) in series is sufficient. The maximum
capacitor ESR should be limited to 1.3 Ω to allow for ESR doubling at cold temperatures. Figure 32 shows the
transient response of a 5-mA to 85-mA load using a 10-µF output capacitor with a total ESR of 1.7 Ω.
A 4.7-µF solid-tantalum capacitor in series with a 1-Ω resistor may also be used (see Figures 27 and 28)
provided the ESR of the capacitor does not exceed 1 Ω at room temperature and 2 Ω over the full operating
temperature range.

sense-pin connection
SENSE must be connected to OUT for proper operation of the regulator. Normally this connection should be
as short as possible; however, remote sense may be implemented in critical applications when proper care of
the circuit path is exercised. SENSE internally connects to a high-impedance wide-bandwidth amplifier through
a resistor-divider network, and any noise pickup on the PCB trace will feed through to the regulator output.
SENSE must be routed to minimize noise pickup. Filtering SENSE using an RC network is not recommended
because of the possibility of inducing regulator instability.

Where:
Vref = 1.188 V typ (the internal reference voltage)
Resistors R1 and R2 should be chosen for approximately 7-µA divider current. Lower value resistors can be
used but offer no inherent advantage and waste more power. Higher values should be avoided as leakage
currents at FB increase the output voltage error. The recommended design procedure is to choose
R2 = 169 kΩ to set the divider current at 7 µA and then calculate R1 using:
