DESCRIPTION
The TPS722xx family of LDO regulators is available in
fixed voltage options that are commonly used to power
the latest DSP’s and microcontrollers with an adjustable
option ranging from 1.22 V to 2.5 V. These regulators
can be used in a wide variety of applications ranging
from portable, battery-powered equipment to PC
peripherals. The family features operation over a wide
range of input voltages (1.8 V to 5.5 V) and low dropout
voltage (50 mV at full load). Therefore, compared to
many other regulators that require 2.5-V or higher input
voltages for operation, these regulators can be
operated directly from two AAA batteries. Also, the
typical quiescent current (ground pin current) is low,
starting at 85 µA during normal operation and 1 µA in
shutdown mode. Thus, these regulators can be
operated very efficiently and, in a battery-powered
application, help extend the longevity of the device.
Similar LDO regulators require 1-µF or larger output
capacitors for stability. However, this regulator uses an
internal compensation scheme that stabilizes the
feedback loop over the full range of input voltages and
load currents with output capacitances as low as
0.1-µF. Ceramic capacitors of this size are relatively
inexpensive and available in small footprints.
This family of regulators is particularly suited as a
portable power supply solution due to its minimal board
space requirement and 1.8-V minimum input voltage.
Being able to use two off-the-shelf, AAA, batteries
makes system design easier and also reduces
component cost. Moreover, the solution will be more
efficient than if a regulator with a higher input voltage is
used.

SLVS390B – DECEMBER 2001 – REVISED MAY 2002
APPLICATION INFORMATION
The TPS722xx family of low-dropout (LDO) regulators functions with a very low input voltage (>1.8 V). The dropout voltage
is typically 50 mV at full load. Typical quiescent current (ground pin current) is only 85 µA and drops to 1 µA in the shutdown
mode.
DEVICE OPERATION
The TPS722xx family can be operated at low input voltages due to low voltage circuit design techniques and a PMOS pass
element that exhibits low dropout.
A logic low on the enable input, EN, shuts off the output and reduces the supply current to less than 1 µA. EN may be tied
to VIN in applications where the shutdown feature is not used.
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 350 mA; further load reduces the output voltage instead of
increasing the output current. The thermal protection shuts the regulator off if the junction temperature rises above 170°C.
Recovery is automatic when the junction temperature drops approximately 20°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 typical application circuit is shown in Figure 16.

DUAL SUPPLY APPLICATION
In portable, battery-powered electronics, separate power rails for the DSP or microcontroller core voltage (VCORE) and I/O
peripherals (VIO) are usually necessary. The TPS721xx family of LDO linear regulators is ideal for providing V(CORE) for
the DSP or microcontroller. As shown in Figure 17, two AAA batteries provide an input voltage to a boost converter and
the TPS72115 LDO linear regulator. The batteries combine input voltage ranges from 3.0 V down to 1.8 V near the end
of their useful lives. Therefore, a boost converter is necessary to provide the typical 3.3 V needed for VIO, and the TPS72115
linear regulator provides a regulated V(CORE) voltage, which in this example is 1.5 V. Although there is no explicit circuitry
to perform power-up sequencing of first V(CORE) then VIO, the output of the linear regulator reaches its regulated voltage
much faster (
