SBVS038U – SEPTEMBER 2003 – REVISED JANUARY 2015
TPS736xx Cap-Free, NMOS, 400-mA Low-Dropout Regulator with Reverse Current
Protection
1 Features
3 Description
•
The TPS736xx family of low-dropout (LDO) linear
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.
It also provides high reverse blockage (low reverse
current) and ground pin current that is nearly constant
over all values of output current.

The TPS736xx uses an advanced BiCMOS process
to yield high precision while delivering very 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.

For more information about traditional and new thermal metrics, see the IC Package Thermal Metrics application report, SPRA953.
For thermal estimates of this device based on PCB copper area, see the TI PCB Thermal Calculator.
Thermal data for the DRB, DCQ, and DRV packages are derived by thermal simulations based on JEDEC-standard methodology as
specified in the JESD51 series. The following assumptions are used in the simulations:
(a) i. DRB: The exposed pad is connected to the PCB ground layer through a 2x2 thermal via array.
. ii. DCQ: The exposed pad is connected to the PCB ground layer through a 3x2 thermal via array.
. iii. DBV: There is no exposed pad with the DBV package.
(b) i. DRB: The top and bottom copper layers are assumed to have a 20% thermal conductivity of copper representing a 20% copper
coverage.
. ii. DCQ: Each of top and bottom copper layers has a dedicated pattern for 20% copper coverage.
. iii. DBV: The top and bottom copper layers are assumed to have a 20% thermal conductivity of copper representing a 20% copper
coverage.
(c) These data were generated with only a single device at the center of a JEDEC high-K (2s2p) board with 3in × 3in copper area. To
understand the effects of the copper area on thermal performance, see the Power Dissipation section of this data sheet.
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under natural convection is obtained in a simulation on a JEDEC-standard, high-K board, as
specified in JESD51-7, in an environment described in JESD51-2a.
The junction-to-case (top) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the top of the package. No specific JEDECstandard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.
The junction-to-board thermal resistance is obtained by simulating in an environment with a ring cold plate fixture to control the PCB
temperature, as described in JESD51-8.
The junction-to-top characterization parameter, ψJT, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data to obtain θJA using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).
The junction-to-board characterization parameter, ψJB, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data to obtain θJA using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).
The junction-to-case (bottom) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the exposed (power) pad. No specific
JEDEC standard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.

Minimum VIN = VOUT + VDO or 1.7 V, whichever is greater.
For VOUT(nom) < 1.6 V, when VIN ≤ 1.6 V, the output locks to VIN and may result in a damaging over-voltage level on the output. To avoid
this situation, disable the device before powering down the VIN.
TPS73601 is tested at VOUT = 2.5 V.
Tolerance of external resistors not included in this specification.
VDO is not measured for fixed output versions with VOUT(nom) < 1.8 V.
Fixed-voltage versions only; refer to Application Information section for more information.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS736xx family of low-dropout linear regulators operates down to an input voltage of 1.7 V and supports
output voltages down to 1.2 V while sourcing up to 500 mA of load current. This linear regulator utilizes an
NMOS pass element with an integrated 4-MHz charge pump to provide a dropout voltage of less than 200 mV at
full load current. This unique architecture also permits stable regulation over a wide range of output capacitors. In
fact, the TPS736xx 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 TPS736xx family of devices also features a noise reduction (NR) pin that allows for additional reduction of
the output noise. With a noise reduction capacitor of 0.01 µF connected from the NR pin to GND, the TPS73615
output noise can be as low as 12.75 µVRMS. The low noise output featured by the TPS736xx family makes it wellsuited for powering VCOs or any other noise sensitive load.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 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 TPS736xx 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:
(R1 ) R2)
+ 32mVRMS
R2
V N + 32mVRMS
VOUT
VREF
(1)
Since the value of VREF is 1.2 V, this relationship reduces to:
ǒmVV Ǔ
RMS
V N(mVRMS) + 27
V OUT(V)
(2)
for the case of no CNR.
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 ~3.2, giving the approximate
relationship:
ǒmVV Ǔ
V N(mVRMS) + 8.5
RMS
V OUT(V)

for CNR = 10 nF.
This noise reduction effect is shown as RMS Noise Voltage vs CNR in the Typical Characteristics section.

Feature Description (continued)
The TPS73601 adjustable version does not have the NR pin available. However, connecting a feedback
capacitor, CFB, from the output to the feedback pin (FB) reduces output noise and improves load transient
performance.
The TPS736xx 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 ~250 μV of switching noise at ~4 MHz;
however, charge-pump noise contribution is negligible at the output of the regulator for most values of IOUT and
COUT.
7.3.2 Internal Current Limit
The TPS736xx internal current limit helps protect the regulator during fault conditions. Foldback current limit
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 10 in the Typical Characteristics section.
Note from Figure 10 that approximately –0.2 V of VOUT results in a current limit of 0 mA. Therefore, if OUT is
forced below –0.2 V before EN goes high, the device may not start up. In applications that work with both a
positive and negative voltage supply, the TPS736xx should be enabled first.
7.3.3 Enable Pin and Shutdown
The enable pin (EN) is active high and is compatible with standard TTL-CMOS levels. VEN below 0.5 V (max)
turns the regulator off and drops the GND pin current to approximately 10 nA. When EN is used to shutdown the
regulator, all charge is removed from the pass transistor gate, and the output ramps back up to a regulated VOUT
(see Figure 19).
When shutdown capability is not required, EN can be connected to VIN. However, the pass gate may not be
discharged using this configuration, and the pass transistor may be left on (enhanced) for a significant time after
VIN has been removed. This scenario can result in reverse current flow (if the IN pin is low impedance) and faster
ramp times upon power-up. In addition, for VIN ramp times slower than a few milliseconds, the output may
overshoot upon power-up.
Note that current limit foldback can prevent device start-up under some conditions. See the Internal Current Limit
section for more information.
7.3.4 Reverse Current
The NMOS pass element of the TPS736xx 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 EN 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 EN 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
is additional current flowing into the OUT pin due to the 80-kΩ internal resistor divider to ground (see Figure 29
and Figure 30).
For the TPS73601, reverse current may flow when VFB is more than 1.0 V above VIN.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Normal Operation with 1.7 V ≤ VIN ≤ 5.5 V and VEN ≥ 1.7 V
The TPS736xx family requires an input voltage of at least 1.7 V to function properly and attempt to maintain
regulation. Please note that if the device output voltage is greater than 1.5 V when the input voltage is at 1.7 V,
the device is operating in dropout and regulation cannot be maintained. Due the NMOS architecture used in the
TPS736xx devices, the dropout voltage is not a strong function of the input voltage.
When operating the device near 5.5 V, take care to suppress any transient spikes that may exceed the 6.0-V
absolute maximum voltage rating. The device should 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 TPS736xx 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 TPS736xx 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 over-current protection, including foldback current limit.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The first step when designing with a linear regulator is to examine the maximum load current along with the input
and output voltage requirements to determine if the device thermal and dropout voltage requirements can be
met. At 0.5 A, the dropout voltage of the TPS73633 is a maximum of 200 mV over temperature; thus, the dropout
headroom is sufficient for operation over both input and output voltage accuracy.
The maximum power dissipated in the linear regulator is the maximum voltage dropped across the pass element
from the input to the output times the maximum load current. In this example, the maximum voltage drop across
in the pass element is 5 V + 3% (5.15 V) minus 3.3 V – 1% (3.267 V) or 1.883 V. The power dissipated in the
pass element is calculated by taking this voltage drop multiplied by the maximum load current. For this example,
the maximum power dissipated in the linear regulator is 942 mW. Once the power dissipated in the linear
regulator is known, the corresponding junction temperature rise can be calculated. To calculate the junction
temperature rise above ambient, the power dissipated must be multiplied by the junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance. For thermal resistance information please refer to Thermal Protection. For this example, using the
DRB package, the maximum junction temperature rise is calculated to be 45°C. The maximum junction
temperature rise is calculated by adding junction temperature rise to the maximum ambient temperature. In this
example, the maximum junction temperature is 100°C. Keep in mind the maximum junction temperate must be
below 125°C for reliable operation. Addition ground planes, added thermal vias, and air flow all help to lower the
maximum junction temperature. Using the DCQ or DBV packages are not recommended for this application due
to the excessive junction temperature rise that would be incurred.
To get the noise level below 30 µVRMS, a noise reduction capacitance (CNR) of 10 nF is selected along with an
output capacitance of 10 μF. Referencing the Output Noise section, the RMS noise can be calculated to be
28 µVRMS.
Use of an input capacitor is optional. However, in systems where the input supply is located several inches away
from the LDO, a small 0.1-µF input capacitor is recommended to negate the adverse effects that input supply
inductance has on stability and ac performance.
In the same way as with designing with a fixed output voltage, the first step is to examine the maximum load
current along with the input and output voltage requirements to determine if the device thermal and dropout
voltage requirements are met. At 0.4 A, the maximum dropout voltage can be approximated by assuming a linear
characteristic of the dropout voltage with load current. The maximum dropout voltage can be estimated to be
200 mV times the ratio of the load current to specified dropout voltage load current. For this example, the dropout
can be estimated to be 200 mV × 400 mA/500 mA or 160 mV. Since the input voltage is 5 V and the output
voltage is 2.5 V, there is more than sufficient voltage headroom to avoid dropout and maintain good PSRR.

SBVS038U – SEPTEMBER 2003 – REVISED JANUARY 2015
The maximum power dissipated in the linear regulator is the maximum voltage dropped across the pass element
from the input to the output times the maximum load current. In this example, the maximum voltage drop across
in the pass element is 5 V + 3% (5.15 V) minus 2.5 V – 1% (2.475 V) or 2.675 V. The power dissipated in the
pass element is calculated by taking this voltage drop multiplied by the maximum load current. For this example,
the maximum power dissipated in the linear regulator is 1.07 W. Once the power dissipated in the linear regulator
is known, the corresponding junction temperature rise can be calculated. To calculate the junction temperature
rise above ambient, the power dissipated must be multiplied by the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. For
thermal resistance information, refer to Thermal Information. For this example, using the DRB package, the
maximum junction temperature rise is calculated to be 51°C. The maximum junction temperature rise is
calculated by adding junction temperature rise to the maximum ambient temperature. In this example, the
maximum junction temperature is 106°C. Keep in mind the maximum junction temperate must be below 125°C
for reliable operation. Addition ground planes, added thermal vias, and air flow all help to lower the maximum
junction temperature. Using the DCQ or DBV packages are not recommended for this application due to the
excessive junction temperature rise that would be incurred.
R1 and R2 can be calculated for any output voltage using the formula shown in Figure 32. Sample resistor values
for common output voltages are shown in Figure 30.
For best accuracy, make the parallel combination of R1 and R2 approximately equal to 19 kΩ. This 19 kΩ, in
addition to the internal 8-kΩ resistor, presents the same impedance to the error amp as the 27-kΩ bandgap
reference output. This impedance helps compensate for leakages into the error amp terminals.
Using the values shown in Figure 40xx for a 2.5-V output results in a values of 39.2 kΩ for R1 and 36.5 kΩ for
R2.
To get the noise level below 35 µVRMS, a noise reduction capacitance (CFF) of 10 nF is selected. Figure 25
should be used as a reference when selecting optimal value for CFF.
A 10-µF, low equivalent series resistance (ESR) ceramic X5R capacitor was used on the output of this design to
minimize the output voltage droop during a low transient. Use of an input capacitor is optional. However, in
systems where the input supply is located several inches away from the LDO, a small 0.1-µF input capacitor is
recommended to negate the adverse effects that input supply inductance has on stability and ac performance.
Refer to Input and Output Capacitor Requirements for additional information about input and output capacitor
selection.
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 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 the device is located several inches from the
power source.
The TPS736xx 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
multiple low ESR capacitors are in parallel, ringing may occur when the product of COUT and total ESR drops
below 50 nΩF. 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 meets this
requirement.

8.2.2.2 Dropout Voltage
The TPS736xx 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 TPS736xx 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 TPS736xx can take a couple of
hundred microseconds to return to the specified regulation accuracy.
8.2.2.3 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 OUT pin to ground reduces undershoot magnitude but increase its
duration. In the adjustable version, the addition of a capacitor, CFB, from the OUT pin to the FB pin also improves
the transient response.
The TPS736xx does not have active pull-down when the output is over-voltage. This feature allows applications
that connect higher voltage sources, such as alternate power supplies, to the output. This feature also results in
an output overshoot of several percent if 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/external load resistance. The rate of decay is given by:

9 Power Supply Recommendations
This device is designed to operate with an input supply range of 1.7 V to 5.5 V. If the input supply is noisy,
additional input capacitors with low ESR can help improve output noise performance.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
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.

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. Performance data for JEDEC low- and high-K boards are shown in the Thermal
Information 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 heat-sink effectiveness.
Power dissipation depends on input voltage and load conditions. Power dissipation (PD) is equal to the product of
the output current times the voltage drop across the output pass element (VIN to VOUT):
space
P D + (VIN * VOUT)
I OUT
(6)
Power dissipation can be minimized by using the lowest possible input voltage necessary to assure the required
output voltage.

10.4 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
heat sink. For reliable operation, junction temperature should be limited to 125°C maximum. To estimate the
margin of safety in a complete design (including heat sink), 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 TPS736xx has been designed to protect against overload conditions. It
was not intended to replace proper heat sinking. Continuously running the TPS736xx into thermal shutdown
degrades device reliability.
10.5 Package Mounting
Solder pad footprint recommendations for the TPS736xx are presented in Application Note Solder Pad
Recommendations for Surface-Mount Devices (SBFA015), available from the Texas Instruments web site at
