DESCRIPTION
The TPS743xx low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators
provide an easy-to-use robust power management
solution for a wide variety of applications. The
TRACK pin allows the output to track an external
supply. This feature is useful in minimizing the stress
on ESD structures that are present between the
CORE and I/O power pins of many processors. The
enable input and power-good output allow easy
sequencing with external regulators. This complete
flexibility allows the user to configure a solution that
meets the sequencing requirements of FPGAs,
DSPs, and other applications with special start-up
requirements.
A precision reference and error amplifier deliver 1%
accuracy over load, line, temperature, and process.
Each LDO is stable with low-cost ceramic output
capacitors and the family is fully specified from –40°C
to +125°C. The TPS743xx is offered in a small (5mm
× 5mm) QFN package, yielding a highly compact total
solution size. For applications that require additional
power dissipation, the DDPAK (KTW) package is also
available.

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.

For more information about traditional and new thermal metrics, see the IC Package Thermal Metrics application report, SPRA953A.
Thermal data for the RGW and KTW 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. RGW: The exposed pad is connected to the PCB ground layer through a 4x4 thermal via array.
- ii. KTW: The exposed pad is connected to the PCB ground layer through a 6x6 thermal via array.
(b) Each of top and bottom copper layers has a dedicated pattern for 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, refer to the Power Dissipation and Estimating Junction
Temperature sections.
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
JEDEC-standard 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, yJT, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data to obtain qJA using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).
The junction-to-board characterization parameter, yJB, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data to obtain qJA 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.

Power-Good (PG) is an open-drain, active-high output that indicates the status
of VOUT. When VOUT exceeds the PG trip threshold, the PG pin goes into a
high-impedance state. When VOUT is below this threshold the pin is driven to a
low-impedance state. A pull-up resistor from 10kΩ to 1MΩ should be connected
from this pin to a supply up to 5.5V. The supply can be higher than the input
voltage. Alternatively, the PG pin can be left floating if output monitoring is not
necessary.

TPS743xx
SBVS065K – DECEMBER 2005 – REVISED AUGUST 2010
www.ti.com
APPLICATION INFORMATION
The TPS743xx belongs to a family of new generation
ultra-low dropout regulators that feature soft-start and
tracking capabilities. These regulators use a low
current bias input to power all internal control
circuitry, allowing the NMOS pass transistor to
regulate very low input and output voltages.
R1 and R2 can be calculated for any output voltage
using the formula shown in Figure 28. Refer to
Table 1 for sample resistor values of common output
voltages. In order to achieve the maximum accuracy
specifications, R2 should be ≤ 4.99kΩ.
The use of an NMOS-pass FET offers several critical
advantages for many applications. Unlike a PMOS
topology device, the output capacitor has little effect
on loop stability. This architecture allows the
TPS743xx to be stable with any or even no output
capacitor. Transient response is also superior to
PMOS topologies, particularly for low VIN
applications.
FIXED VOLTAGE AND SENSE PIN
The TPS743xx features a TRACK pin that allows the
output to track an external supply. This feature is
useful in minimizing the stress on ESD structures that
are present between the CORE and I/O power pins of
many processors. A power-good (PG) output is also
available to allow supply monitoring and sequencing
of follow-on supplies. To control the output turn-on,
an enable (EN) pin with hysteresis and deglitch is
provided to allow slow-ramping signals to be utilized
for sequencing the device. The low VIN and VOUT
capability allows for inexpensive, easy-to-design, and
efficient linear regulation between the multiple supply
voltages often present in processor intensive
systems.

possible. Unlike other TI fixed-voltage LDOs,
however, this pin must not be left floating; it must be
connected to an output node. See the TI application
report, Ultimate Regulation of with Fixed Output

The device does not require any output capacitor for
stability. If an output capacitor is needed, the device
is designed to be stable for all available types and
values of output capacitance. The device is also
stable with multiple capacitors in parallel, of any type
or value.
The capacitance required on the IN and BIAS pins is
strongly dependent on the input supply source
impedance. To counteract any inductance in the
input, the minimum recommended capacitor for VIN
and VBIAS is 1mF. If VIN and VBIAS are connected to
the same supply, the recommended minimum
capacitor for VBIAS is 4.7mF. Good quality, low ESR
capacitors should be used on the input; ceramic X5R
and X7R capacitors are preferred. These capacitors
should be placed as close the pins as possible for
optimum performance.

SBVS065K – DECEMBER 2005 – REVISED AUGUST 2010
TRANSIENT RESPONSE
The TPS743xx was designed to have transient
response within 5% for most applications without any
output capacitor. In some cases, the transient
response may be limited by the transient response of
the input supply. This limitation is especially true in
applications where the difference between the input
and output is less than 300mV. In this case, adding
additional input capacitance improves the transient
response much more than just adding additional
output capacitance would do. With a solid input
supply, adding additional output capacitance reduces
undershoot and overshoot during a transient at the
expense of a slightly longer VOUT recovery time. Refer
to Figure 23 in the Typical Characteristics section.
Since the TPS743xx is stable without an output
capacitor, many applications may allow for little or no
capacitance at the LDO output. For these
applications, local bypass capacitance for the device
under power may be sufficient to meet the transient
requirements of the application. This design reduces
the total solution cost by avoiding the need to use
expensive high-value capacitors at the LDO output.
DROPOUT VOLTAGE
The TPS743xx offers industry-leading dropout
performance, making it well-suited for high-current
low VIN/low VOUT applications. The extremely low
dropout of the TPS743xx allows the device to be
used instead of a DC/DC converter and still achieve
good efficiencies. This efficiency allows users to
rethink the power architecture for their applications to
find the smallest, simplest, and lowest cost solution.
There are two different specifications for dropout
voltage with the TPS743xx. The first specification (as
shown in Figure 30) is referred to as VIN Dropout and
is for users wishing to apply an external bias voltage
to achieve low dropout. This specification assumes
that VBIAS is at least 1.62V above VOUT, which is the
case for VBIAS when powered by a 3.3V rail with 5%
tolerance and with VOUT = 1.5V. If VBIAS is higher than
3.3V × 0.95 or VOUT is less than 1.5V, VIN dropout is
less than specified.

The second specification (shown in Figure 31),
referred to as VBIAS Dropout, is for users who wish to
tie IN and BIAS together. This option allows the
device to be used in applications where an auxiliary
bias voltage is unavailable or low dropout is not
required. Dropout is limited by BIAS in these
applications because VBIAS provides the gate drive to
the pass FET, and therefore must be 1.4V above
VOUT. Because of this usage, IN and BIAS tied
together easily consume huge power. Pay attention
not to exceed the power rating of the IC package.

PROGRAMMABLE SEQUENCING WITH
TRACK
The TPS743xx features a track pin that allows the
output to track an external supply at start-up. While
the TRACK input is below 0.8V, the error amplifier
regulates the FB pin to the TRACK input. Properly
choosing the resistor divider network (R1 and R2) as
shown in Figure 32 enables the regulator output to
track the external supply to obtain a simultaneous or
ratiometric start-up. Once the TRACK input reaches
0.8V, the error amplifier regulates the FB pin to the
0.8V internal reference. Further increases to the
TRACK input have no effect.

The maximum recommended value for R2 is 100kΩ.
Once R2 is selected, R1 is calculated using one of the
equations given in Figure 32.
SEQUENCING REQUIREMENTS
The device can have VIN, VBIAS, VEN, and VTRACK
sequenced in any order without causing damage to
the device. However, for the track function to work as
intended, certain sequencing rules must be applied.
VBIAS must be present and the device enabled before
the track signal starts to ramp. VIN should ramp up
faster than the external supply being tracked so that
the tracking signal will not drive the device into VIN
dropout as VOUT ramps up. The preferred method to
sequence the tracking device is to have VIN, VBIAS,
and VEN above the minimum required voltages before
enabling the master supply to initiate the startup
sequence. This method is illustrated in Figure 32.
Resistors R3 and R4 disable the master supply until
the input voltage is above 3.52V (typical).
If the TRACK pin is not needed it should be
connected to VIN. Configured in this way, the device
starts up typically within 40ms, which may result in
large inrush current that could cause the input supply
to droop. If soft-start is needed, consider the
TPS742xx or TPS744xx devices.
NOTE: When VBIAS and VEN are present and VIN is
not supplied, this device outputs approximately 50mA
of current from OUT. Although this condition will not
cause any damage to the device, the output current
may charge up the OUT node if total resistance
between OUT and GND (including external feedback
resistors) is greater than 10kΩ.

ENABLE/SHUTDOWN
The enable (EN) pin is active high and is compatible
with standard digital signaling levels. VEN below 0.4V
turns the regulator off, while VEN above 1.1V turns the
regulator on. Unlike many regulators, the enable
circuitry has hysteresis and deglitching for use with
relatively slow-ramping analog signals. This
configuration allows the TPS743xx to be enabled by
connecting the output of another supply to the EN
pin. The enable circuitry typically has 50mV of
hysteresis and a deglitch circuit to help avoid on-off
cycling because of small glitches in the VEN signal.
The enable threshold is typically 0.8V and varies with
temperature and process variations. Temperature
variation is approximately –1mV/°C; therefore,
process variation accounts for most of the variation in
the enable threshold. If precise turn-on timing is
required, a fast rise-time signal should be used to
enable the TPS743xx.
If not used, EN can be connected to either IN or
BIAS. If EN is connected to IN, it should be
connected as close as possible to the largest
capacitance on the input to prevent voltage droops on
that line from triggering the enable circuit.
POWER-GOOD (QFN Package Only)
The power-good (PG) pin is an open-drain output and
can be connected to any 5.5V or lower rail through an
external pull-up resistor. This pin requires at least
1.1V on VBIAS in order to have a valid output. The PG
output is high-impedance when VOUT is greater than
VIT + VHYS. If VOUT drops below VIT or if VBIAS drops
below 1.9V, the open-drain output turns on and pulls
the PG output low. The PG pin also asserts when the
device is disabled. The recommended operating
condition of PG pin sink current is up to 1mA, so the
pull-up resistor for PG should be in the range of 10kΩ
to 1MΩ. PG is only provided on the QFN package. If
output voltage monitoring is not needed, the PG pin
can be left floating.

current during a short-circuit fault. Recovery from a
short-circuit condition is well-controlled and results in
very little output overshoot when the load is removed.
See Figure 27 in the Typical Characteristics section
for output short-circuit recovery performance.
The internal current limit protection circuitry of the
TPS743xx is designed to protect against overload
conditions. It is not intended to allow operation above
the rated current of the device. Continuously running
the TPS743xx above the rated current degrades
device reliability.
THERMAL PROTECTION
Thermal protection disables the output when the
junction temperature rises to approximately +155°C,
allowing the device to cool. When the junction
temperature cools to approximately +140°C, the
output circuitry is 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.
Activation of the thermal protection circuit indicates

operation,

To estimate the margin of safety in a complete design
(including

increase

temperature until thermal protection is triggered; use
worst-case loads and signal conditions. For good
reliability, thermal protection should trigger at least
+30°C above the maximum expected ambient
condition of the application. This condition produces a

The internal protection circuitry of the TPS743xx is
designed to protect against overload conditions. It is

shutdown degrades device reliability.
The TPS743xx features a factory-trimmed, accurate
current limit that is flat over temperature and supply
voltage. The current limit allows the device to supply
surges of up to 1.8A and maintain regulation. The

An optimal layout can greatly improve transient
performance, PSRR, and noise. To minimize the
voltage droop on the input of the device during load
transients, the capacitance on IN and BIAS should be
connected as close as possible to the device. This
capacitance also minimizes the effects of parasitic
inductance and resistance of the input source and
can therefore improve stability. To achieve optimal
transient performance and accuracy, the top side of
R1 in Figure 28 should be connected as close as
possible to the load. If BIAS is connected to IN, it is
recommended to connect BIAS as close to the sense
point of the input supply as possible. This connection
minimizes the voltage droop on BIAS during transient
conditions and can improve the turn-on response.
Knowing the device power dissipation and proper
sizing of the thermal plane that is connected to the
tab or pad is critical to avoiding thermal shutdown
and ensuring reliable operation. Power dissipation of
the device depends on input voltage and load
conditions, and can be calculated using Equation 1:
P D + ǒVIN * VOUTǓ
I OUT
(1)
Power dissipation can be minimized and greater
efficiency can be achieved by using the lowest
possible input voltage necessary to achieve the
required output voltage regulation.
On the QFN (RGW) package, the primary conduction
path for heat is through the exposed pad to the
printed circuit board (PCB). The pad can be
connected to ground or be left floating; however, it
should be attached to an appropriate amount of
copper PCB area to ensure the device will not
overheat. On the DDPAK (KTW) package, the
primary conduction path for heat is through the tab to
the PCB. That tab should be connected to ground.
The maximum junction-to-ambient thermal resistance
depends on the maximum ambient temperature,
maximum device junction temperature, and power
dissipation of the device and can be calculated using

ESTIMATING JUNCTION TEMPERATURE
Using the thermal metrics ΨJT and ΨJB, shown in the
Thermal Information table, the junction temperature
can be estimated with corresponding formulas (given
in Equation 3). For backwards compatibility, an older
qJC,Top parameter is listed as well.
YJT: TJ = TT + YJT · PD
YJB: TJ = TB + YJB · PD
(3)
Where PD is the power dissipation shown by
Equation 1, TT is the temperature at the center-top of
the IC package, and TB is the PCB temperature
measured 1mm away from the IC package on the
PCB surface (as Figure 34 shows).
NOTE: Both TT and TB can be measured on actual
application boards using a thermo-gun (an infrared
thermometer).
For more information about measuring TT and TB, see

Looking at Figure 35, the RGW package thermal
performance has negligible dependency on board
size. The KTW package, however, does have a
measurable dependency on board size. This
dependency exists because the package shape is not
point-symmetric to an IC center. In the KTW package,
for example (see Figure 34), silicon is not beneath
the measuring point of TT which is the center of the X
and Y dimension, so that ΨJT has a dependency.
Also, because of that non-point-symmetry, device
heat distribution on the PCB is not point-symmetric,
either, so that ΨJB has a dependency.
