3 Description
The TPS737xx-Q1 family of linear low-dropout (LDO)
voltage regulators uses an NMOS pass element in a
voltage-follower configuration. This topology is
relatively insensitive to output capacitor value and
ESR, allowing a wide variety of load configurations.
Load transient response is excellent, even with a
small 1-µF ceramic output capacitor. The NMOS
topology also allows very low dropout.
The TPS737xx-Q1 family 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
20 nA and ideal for portable applications. These
devices are protected by thermal shutdown and
foldback current limit.

Minimum VIN = VOUT + VDO or 2.2 V, whichever is greater.
For VOUT(nom) < 1.6 V, when VIN ≤ 1.6 V, the output locks to VIN and may result in an overvoltage condition on the output. To avoid this
situation, disable the device before powering down VIN.
TPS73701 is tested at VOUT = 1.2 V.
Tolerance of external resistors not included in this specification.
VDO is not measured for fixed output versions with VOUT(nom) < 2.3 V, because minimum VIN = 2.2 V.
Fixed-voltage versions only; see the Reverse Current section for more information.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS737xx-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 an enable input make the TPS737xx-Q1 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.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Output Noise
A precision bandgap reference is used to generate the internal reference voltage (VREF). This reference is the
dominant noise source within the TPS737xx-Q1 and it generates approximately 32 µVRMS (10 Hz to 100 kHz) at
the reference output (NR). The regulator control loop adds gain to the reference noise with the same gain as the
reference voltage, so that the noise voltage of the regulator is approximately given by Equation 1.
(R + R 2 )
V
VN = 32 µVRMS ´ 1
= 32 µVRMS ´ OUT

VREF
(1)
Because the value of VREF is 1.2 V, this relationship reduces to:
æ µV
ö
VN (µVRMS ) = 27 ç RMS ÷ ´ VOUT (V )
è V ø
(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. The total noise in
the 10-Hz to 100-kHz bandwidth is reduced by a factor of approximately 3.2 for CNR = 10 nF, giving the
approximate relationship for CNR = 10 nF in Equation 3.

This noise reduction effect is shown in Figure 18.
The TPS737xx-Q1 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 4 MHz, however, charge-pump noise contribution is negligible at the output of the regulator for
most values of IOUT and COUT.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.2 Internal Current Limit
The TPS737xx-Q1 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.
7.3.3 Enable Pin and Shutdown
The enable pin (EN) is active high and is compatible with standard TTL-CMOS levels. A VEN below 0.5 V
(maximum) 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 21).
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 is 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.
7.3.4 Reverse Current
The NMOS pass element of the TPS737xx-Q1 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 because of stored charge on the gate.
After the EN pin is driven low, no bias voltage is required on any pin for reverse current blocking. Reverse
current is specified as the current flowing out of the IN pin because of voltage applied on the OUT pin. There is
additional current flowing into the OUT pin as a result of the 80-kΩ internal resistor divider to ground (see
Figure 29 and Figure 30).
For the TPS73701, reverse current may flow when VFB is more than 1 V above VIN.
7.3.5 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 cycling 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. Junction temperature must be limited to 125°C maximum for reliable operation. 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. Thermal protection must trigger at least 35°C above the
maximum expected ambient condition of your application for good reliability. This 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 TPS737xx-Q1 is designed to protect against overload conditions. It was not
intended to replace proper heatsinking. Continuously running the TPS737xx-Q1 into thermal shutdown degrades
device reliability.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
Driving the EN pin over 1.7 V turns on the regulator. Driving the EN below 0.5 V causes the regulator to enter
shutdown mode. In shutdwon, the current consumption of the device is reduced to 20 nA (typical).

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 TPS737xx-Q1 family of LDO regulators 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 TPS737xx-Q1 ideal for portable applications.

8.2.1 Design Requirements
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 Table 1.
Make the parallel combination of R1 and R2 approximately equal to 19 kΩ for best accuracy. This 19 kΩ, in
addition to the internal 8-kΩ resistor, presents the same impedance to the error amplifier as the 27-kΩ bandgap
reference output. This impedance helps compensate for leakages into the error amplifier terminals.
The TPS73701 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. This capacitor must be limited to 0.1 µF.

Typical Application (continued)
8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Input and Output Capacitor Requirements
Although an input capacitor is not required for stability, if input impedance is very low, it is good analog design
practice to connect a 0.1-µF to 1-µF low equivalent series resistance (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 TPS737xx-Q1 requires a 1-µF output capacitor for stability. 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 TPS737xx-Q1 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.
The TPS737xx-Q1 requires a larger voltage drop from VIN to VOUT to avoid degraded transient response for large
step changes in load current. 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 TPS737xx-Q1 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 a 1-µF output capacitor. As with any regulator, the addition of additional capacitance
from the OUT pin to ground reduces undershoot magnitude but increases its duration. In the adjustable version,
the addition of a capacitor (CFB) between the OUT pin and the FB pin also improves the transient response.
The TPS737xx-Q1 does not have active pulldown when the output is overvoltage. This architecture allows for
applications that connect higher voltage sources, such as alternate power supplies, to be connected to the
output. This architecture 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 the output capacitor (COUT) and the internal and external
load resistance. The rate of decay is given by Equation 4 and Equation 5.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The device is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range from 2.2 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 help improve the output noise
performance.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
10.1.1 Improve PSRR and Noise Performance
TI recommends that the printed circuit board (PCB) be designed with separate ground planes for VIN and VOUT,
with each ground plane connected only at the GND pin of the device, to improve AC performance such as
PSRR, output noise, and transient response. In addition, the ground connection for the bypass capacitor must
connect directly to the GND pin of the device.
10.1.2 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-K and high-K boards are shown in Thermal
Information. 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 (PD) is equal to the product of
the output current multiplied by the voltage drop across the output pass element (VIN to VOUT). See Equation 6.
PD = (VIN - VOUT )´ IOUT
(6)
Power dissipation can be minimized by using the lowest possible input voltage necessary to assure the required
output voltage.
