•
•
The TPS734xx-Q1 family of low-dropout (LDO),
low-power linear regulators offers excellent ac
performance with very low ground current. High
power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR), low noise, fast
start-up, and excellent line and load transient
response are provided while consuming a very low
44μA (typical) ground current. The TPS734xx-Q1 is
stable with ceramic capacitors and uses an advanced
BiCMOS fabrication process to yield a typical dropout
voltage of 125mV at 250mA output. The
TPS734xx-Q1 uses a precision voltage reference and
feedback loop to achieve overall accuracy of 2% over
all load, line, process, and temperature variations. It
is fully specified from TA = –40°C to +105°C and is
offered in a low-profile ThinSOT-23 package that are
ideal for wireless handsets, printers, and WLAN
cards.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The TPS734xx-Q1 family of LDO regulators
combines the high performance required of many RF
and precision analog applications with ultra-low
current consumption. High PSRR is provided by a
high gain, high bandwidth error loop with good supply
rejection at very low headroom (VIN – VOUT). Fixed
voltage versions provide a noise reduction pin to
bypass noise generated by the bandgap reference
and to improve PSRR while a quick-start circuit
fast-charges this capacitor at startup. The
combination of high performance and low ground
current also make the TPS734xx-Q1 an excellent
choice for portable applications. All versions have
thermal and over-current protection and are fully
specified from –40°C to +105°C.
Figure 9 shows the basic circuit connections for fixed
voltage models. Figure 10 gives the connections for
the adjustable output version (TPS73401-Q1). R1 and
R2 can be calculated for any output voltage using the
formula in Figure 10.

Input and Output Capacitor Requirements
Although an input capacitor is not required for
stability, it is good analog design practice to connect
a 0.1μF to 1μF low equivalent series resistance
(ESR) capacitor across the input supply near the
regulator. The ground of this capacitor should be
connected as close as the ground of output capacitor;
a capacitor value of 0.1μF is enough in this condition.
When it is difficult to place these two ground points
close together, a 1μF capacitor is recommended.
This capacitor 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 if the device is located several inches
from the power source. If source impedance is not
sufficiently low, a 0.1μF input capacitor may be
necessary to ensure stability.
The TPS734xx-Q1 is designed to be stable with
standard ceramic output capacitors of values 2.2μF
or larger. X5R and X7R type capacitors are best
because they have minimal variation in value and
ESR over temperature. Maximum ESR of the output
capacitor should be < 1.0Ω, so output capacitor type
should be either ceramic or conductive polymer
electrolytic.
Feedback Capacitor Requirements
(TPS73401-Q1 only)
The feedback capacitor, CFB, shown in Figure 10 is
required for stability. For a parallel combination of R1
and R2 equal to 250kΩ, any value from 3pF to 1nF
can be used. Fixed voltage versions have an internal
30pF feedback capacitor that is quick-charged at
start-up. The adjustable version does not have this
quick-charge circuit, so values below 5pF should be
used to ensure fast startup; values above 47pF can
be used to implement an output voltage soft-start.
Larger value capacitors also improve noise slightly.
The TPS73401-Q1 is stable in unity-gain
configuration (OUT tied to FB) without CFB.
Output Noise
In most LDOs, the bandgap is the dominant noise
source. If a noise reduction capacitor (CNR) is used
with the TPS734xx-Q1, the bandgap does not
contribute significantly to noise. Instead, noise is
dominated by the output resistor divider and the error
amplifier input. To minimize noise in a given
application, use a 0.01μF noise reduction capacitor;
for the adjustable version, smaller value resistors in
the output resistor divider reduce noise. A parallel
combination that gives 2μA of divider current has the
same noise performance as a fixed voltage version.

TPS73433-Q1
TPS73401-Q1
SBVS185 – DECEMBER 2011
www.ti.com
To further optimize noise, equivalent series
resistance of the output capacitor can be set to
approximately 0.2Ω. This configuration maximizes
phase margin in the control loop, reducing total
output noise by up to 10%.
Noise can be referred to the feedback point (FB pin)
such that with CNR = 0.01μF, total noise is given
approximately by Equation 1:
11mVRMS
VN =
x VOUT
V
(1)
The TPS73401-Q1 adjustable version does not have
the noise-reduction pin available, so ultra-low noise
operation is not possible. Noise can be minimized
according to the above recommendations.
Board Layout Recommendations to Improve
PSRR and Noise Performance
To improve ac performance such as PSRR, output
noise, and transient response, it is recommended that
the board be designed 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.
Internal Current Limit
The TPS734xx-Q1 internal current limit helps protect
the regulator during fault conditions. During current
limit, the output sources a fixed amount of current
that is largely independent of output voltage. For
reliable operation, the device should not be operated
in current limit for extended periods of time.
The PMOS pass element in the TPS734xx-Q1 has a
built-in body diode that conducts current when the
voltage at OUT exceeds the voltage at IN. This
current is not limited, so if extended reverse voltage
operation is anticipated, external limiting may be
appropriate.
Shutdown
The enable pin (EN) is active high and is compatible
with standard and low voltage TTL-CMOS levels.
When shutdown capability is not required, EN can be
connected to IN.
Dropout Voltage
The TPS734xx-Q1 uses a PMOS pass transistor to
achieve low dropout. When (VIN – VOUT) is less than
the dropout voltage (VDO), the PMOS pass device is
in its linear region of operation and the input-to-output
resistance is the RDS, ON of the PMOS pass element.
Because the PMOS device behaves like a resistor in
dropout, VDO approximately scales with output
current.
Copyright © 2011, Texas Instruments Incorporated
As with any linear regulator, PSRR and transient
response are degraded as (VIN – VOUT) approaches
dropout. This effect is shown in the Typical
Characteristics section.
Startup and Noise Reduction Capacitor
Fixed voltage versions of the TPS734xx-Q1 use a
quick-start circuit to fast-charge the noise reduction
capacitor, CNR, if present (see the Functional Block
Diagrams). This architecture allows the combination
of very low output noise and fast start-up times. The
NR pin is high impedance so a low leakage CNR
capacitor must be used; most ceramic capacitors are
appropriate in this configuration.
Note that for fastest startup, VIN should be applied
first, then the enable pin (EN) driven high. If EN is
tied to IN, startup is somewhat slower. Refer to the
Typical Characteristics section. The quick-start switch
is closed for approximately 135μs. To ensure that
CNR is fully charged during the quick-start time, a
0.01μF or smaller capacitor should be used.
Transient Response
As with any regulator, increasing the size of the
output capacitor reduces over/undershoot magnitude
but increases duration of the transient response. In
the adjustable version, adding CFB between OUT and
FB improves stability and transient response. The
transient response of the TPS734xx-Q1 is enhanced
by an active pull-down that engages when the output
overshoots by approximately 5% or more when the
device is enabled. When enabled, the pull-down
device behaves like a 400Ω resistor to ground.
Undervoltage Lock-Out (UVLO)
The TPS734xx-Q1 utilizes an undervoltage lock-out
circuit to keep the output shut off until internal
circuitry is operating properly. The UVLO circuit has a
de-glitch feature so that it typically ignores
undershoot transients on the input if they are less
than 50μs duration.
Minimum Load
The TPS734xx-Q1 is stable and well-behaved with no
output load. To meet the specified accuracy, a
minimum load of 1mA is required. Below 1mA at
junction temperatures near +125°C, the output can
drift up enough to cause the output pull-down to turn
on. The output pull-down limits voltage drift to 5%
typically but ground current could increase by
approximately 50μA. In typical applications, the
junction cannot reach high temperatures at light loads
because there is no appreciable dissipated power.
The specified ground current would then be valid at
no load conditions in most applications.

Thermal Information
Thermal Protection
Thermal protection disables the output when the
junction temperature rises to approximately +165°C,
allowing the device to cool. When the junction
temperature cools to approximately +145°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 cycling limits the dissipation of the
regulator, protecting it from damage as a result of
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 particular application. This
configuration produces a worst-case junction
temperature of +125°C at the highest expected
ambient temperature and worst-case load.
The internal protection circuitry of the TPS734xx-Q1
has been designed to protect against overload
conditions. It was not intended to replace proper
heatsinking. Continuously running the TPS734xx-Q1
into thermal shutdown degrades device reliability.
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.
Performance data for JEDEC low- and high-K boards
are given in the Dissipation Ratings table. Using
heavier copper increases the effectiveness in
removing heat from the device. The addition of plated
through-holes to heat-dissipating layers also
improves the heatsink effectiveness.
Power dissipation depends on input voltage and load
conditions. Power dissipation is equal to the product
of the output current time the voltage drop across the
output pass element, as shown in Equation 2:
P D + ǒVIN*V OUTǓ @ I OUT
