3 Description
The TPS732-Q1 family of low-dropout (LDO) voltage
regulators uses a new topology: an NMOS pass
element in a voltage-follower configuration. This
topology is stable using output capacitors with low
ESR, and even allows operation without a capacitor.
The topology also provides high reverse blockage
(low reverse current) and ground pin current that is
nearly constant over all values of output current.
The TPS732-Q1 family of devices uses an advanced
BiCMOS process to yield high precision while
delivering low dropout voltages and low ground pin
current. Current consumption, when not enabled, is
under 1 μA and ideal for portable applications. The
extremely low output noise (30 μVRMS with 0.1-µF
CNR) is ideal for powering VCOs. These devices are
protected by thermal shutdown and foldback current
limit.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS732-Q1 low-dropout linear regulator devices operate with an input voltage down to 1.7 V and support
output voltages down to 1.2 V while sourcing up to 500 mA of load current. These linear regulators use an
NMOS pass element with an integrated 4-MHz charge pump to provide a dropout voltage of less than 250 mV at
full load current. This unique architecture also permits stable regulation over a wide range of output capacitors. In
fact, the TPS732-Q1 family of devices does not require any output capacitor for stability. The increased
insensitivity to the output capacitor value and type makes this family of linear regulators an ideal choice when
powering a load where the effective capacitance is unknown. The TPS732-Q1 family of devices also features a
noise reduction (NR) pin that allows for additional reduction of the output noise. The low noise output featured by
the TPS732-Q1 family makes the device well-suited for powering VCOs or any other noise-sensitive load.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Internal Current Limit
The TPS732-Q1 internal current limit helps protect the regulator during fault conditions. Foldback helps to protect
the regulator from damage during output short-circuit conditions by reducing current limit when VOUT drops below
0.5 V. See Figure 9.
7.3.2 Shutdown
The enable pin is active high and is compatible with standard TTL-CMOS levels. VEN below 0.5 V (maximum)
turns the regulator off and drops the ground pin current to approximately 10 nA. When shutdown capability is not
required, the Enable pin can be connected to VIN. When a pullup resistor is used, and operation down to 1.8 V is
required, use pullup resistor values below 50 kΩ.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.3 Dropout Voltage
The TPS732-Q1 family of devices uses an NMOS pass transistor to achieve extremely low dropout. When (VIN –
VOUT) is less than the dropout voltage (VDO), the NMOS pass device is in its linear region of operation and the
input-to-output resistance is the RDS-ON of the NMOS pass element.
For large step changes in load current, the TPS732-Q1 family of devices requires a larger voltage drop from VIN
to VOUT to avoid degraded transient response. The boundary of this transient dropout region is approximately
twice the dc dropout. Values of VIN – VOUT above this line ensure normal transient response.
Operating in the transient dropout region can cause an increase in recovery time. The time required to recover
from a load transient is a function of the magnitude of the change in load current rate, the rate of change in load
current, and the available headroom (VIN to VOUT voltage drop). Under worst-case conditions [full-scale
instantaneous load change with (VIN – VOUT) close to dc dropout levels], the TPS732-Q1 family of devices can
take a couple of hundred microseconds to return to the specified regulation accuracy.
7.3.4 Transient Response
The low open-loop output impedance provided by the NMOS pass element in a voltage follower configuration
allows operation without an output capacitor for many applications. As with any regulator, the addition of a
capacitor (nominal value 1 μF) from the output pin to ground will reduce undershoot magnitude but increase
duration. In the adjustable version, the addition of a capacitor, CFB, from the output to the adjust pin will also
improve the transient response.
The TPS732-Q1 family of devices does not have active pulldown when the output is over-voltage. This allows
applications that connect higher voltage sources, such as alternate power supplies, to the output. This also
results in an output overshoot of several percent if the load current quickly drops to zero when a capacitor is
connected to the output. The duration of overshoot can be reduced by adding a load resistor. The overshoot
decays at a rate determined by output capacitor COUT and the internal and external load resistance. The rate of
decay is given by Equation 1 and Equation 2:
(Fixed voltage version)
VOUT
dV / dt =
C OUT ´ 80 kW
(1)
(Adjustable voltage version)
VOUT
dV / dt =
C OUT ´ 80 kW || (R 1 + R 2 )
(2)
7.3.5 Reverse Current
The NMOS pass element of the TPS732-Q1 family of devices provides inherent protection against current flow
from the output of the regulator to the input when the gate of the pass device is pulled low. To ensure that all
charge is removed from the gate of the pass element, the enable pin must be driven low before the input voltage
is removed. If this is not done, the pass element may be left on due to stored charge on the gate.
After the enable pin is driven low, no bias voltage is needed on any pin for reverse current blocking. Note that
reverse current is specified as the current flowing out of the IN pin due to voltage applied on the OUT pin. There
will be additional current flowing into the OUT pin due to the 80-kΩ internal resistor divider to ground (see the
Functional Block Diagram and Figure 31).
For the TPS73201-Q1, reverse current may flow when VFB is more than 1 V above VIN.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.6 Thermal Protection
Thermal protection disables the output when the junction temperature rises to approximately 160°C, allowing the
device to cool. When the junction temperature cools to approximately 140°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 limits the dissipation of the regulator, protecting it from damage due to
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 35°C above the maximum expected ambient condition of your application. This produces a worstcase junction temperature of 125°C at the highest expected ambient temperature and worst-case load.
The internal protection circuitry of the TPS732-Q1 family of devices has been designed to protect against
overload conditions. It was not intended to replace proper heatsinking. Continuously running the TPS732-Q1
family of devices into thermal shutdown will degrade device reliability.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Normal Operation
The TPS632-Q1 family of devices require an input voltage of at least 1.7 V to function properly and attempt to
maintain regulation.
When operating the device near 5.5 V, take care to suppress any transient spikes that may exceed the 6-V
absolute maximum voltage rating. The device must never operate at a DC voltage greater than 5.5 V.

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 TPS732-Q1 belongs to a family of new generation LDO regulators that use an NMOS pass transistor to
achieve ultra-low-dropout performance, reverse current blockage, and freedom from output capacitor constraints.
These features, combined with low noise and an enable input, make the TPS732-Q1 family of devices ideal for
portable applications. This regulator family offers a wide selection of fixed output voltage versions and an
adjustable output version. All versions have thermal and overcurrent protection, including foldback current limit.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Input and Output Capacitor Requirements
Although an input capacitor is not required for stability, it is good analog design practice to connect a 0.1-μF to
1‑μF low ESR capacitor across the input supply near the regulator. This counteracts reactive input sources and
improves transient response, noise rejection, and ripple rejection. A higher-value capacitor may be necessary if
large, fast rise-time load transients are anticipated or the device is located several inches from the power source.
The TPS732-Q1 family of devices does not require an output capacitor for stability and has maximum phase
margin with no capacitor. It is designed to be stable for all available types and values of capacitors. In
applications where VIN – VOUT < 0.5 V and multiple low ESR capacitors are in parallel, ringing may occur when
the product of COUT and total ESR drops below 50 nF. Total ESR includes all parasitic resistances, including
capacitor ESR and board, socket, and solder joint resistance. In most applications, the sum of capacitor ESR and
trace resistance will meet this requirement.
8.2.2.2 Output Noise
A precision band-gap reference is used to generate the internal reference voltage, VREF. This reference is the
dominant noise source within the TPS732-Q1 family of devices and it generates approximately 32 μVRMS (10 Hz
to 100 kHz) at the reference output (NR). The regulator control loop gains up the reference noise with the same
gain as the reference voltage, so that the noise voltage of the regulator is approximately given by:
VOUT
(R1 ) R2)
V N + 32mVRMS
+ 32mVRMS
R2
VREF
(3)
Because the value of VREF is 1.2 V, this relationship reduces to:
ǒmVV Ǔ
V N(mVRMS) + 27
RMS
V OUT(V)
where
•
CNR does not exist
(4)
An internal 27-kΩ resistor in series with the noise reduction pin (NR) forms a low-pass filter for the voltage
reference when an external noise reduction capacitor, CNR, is connected from NR to ground. For CNR = 10 nF,
the total noise in the 10-Hz to 100-kHz bandwidth is reduced by a factor of approximately 3.2, giving the
approximate relationship:
æ µV
ö
VN (µVRMS ) = 8.5 ç RMS ÷ ´ VOUT (V)
è V ø
where
•
CNR = 10 nF
(5)
This noise reduction effect is shown as RMS Noise Voltage vs CNR in Typical Characteristics.
The TPS73201-Q1 adjustable version does not have the noise-reduction pin available. However, connecting a
feedback capacitor, CFB, from the output to the FB pin will reduce output noise and improve load transient
performance.
The TPS732-Q1 family of devices uses an internal charge pump to develop an internal supply voltage sufficient
to drive the gate of the NMOS pass element above VOUT. The charge pump generates approximately 250 μV of
switching noise at approximately 2 MHz; however, charge-pump noise contribution is negligible at the output of
the regulator for most values of IOUT and COUT.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
These devices are designed to operate from an input voltage supply range from 1.7 V to 5.5 V. The input voltage
range provides adequate headroom for the device to have a regulated output. This input supply must be well
regulated. If the input supply is noisy, additional input capacitors with low ESR can help improve the output noise
performance.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
To improve ac performance such as PSRR, output noise, and transient response, TI recommends designing the
PCB with separate ground planes for VIN and VOUT, with each ground plane connected only at the GND pin of the
device. In addition, the ground connection for the bypass capacitor should connect directly to the GND pin of the
device.

10.3 Power Dissipation
The ability to remove heat from the die is different for each package type, presenting different considerations in
the PCB layout. The PCB area around the device that is free of other components moves the heat from the
device to the ambient air. Using heavier copper will increase the effectiveness in removing heat from the device.
The addition of plated through-holes to heat-dissipating layers will also improve the heat-sink effectiveness.
Power dissipation depends on input voltage and load conditions. Power dissipation is equal to the product of the
output current times the voltage drop across the output pass element (VIN to VOUT):
PD = (VIN - VOUT )´ IOUT
(6)
Power dissipation can be minimized by using the lowest possible input voltage necessary to assure the required
output voltage.
