DESCRIPTION
The TPS758xx family of 3A low dropout (LDO)
regulators contains four fixed voltage option
regulators and an adjustable voltage option
regulator. These devices are capable of supplying 3A
of output current with a dropout of 150mV
(TPS75833). Therefore, the device is capable of
performing a 3.3V to 2.5V conversion.

Quiescent current is 125µA at full load and drops to
less than 1µA when the device is disabled. The
TPS758xx is designed to have fast transient
response for large load current changes.
Because the PMOS device behaves as a low-value
resistor, the dropout voltage is very low (typically
150mV at an output current of 3A for the TPS75833)
and is directly proportional to the output current.
Additionally, since the PMOS pass element is a
voltage-driven device, the quiescent current is very
low and independent of output loading (typically
125µA over the full range of output current). These
two
key
specifications
yield
a
significant
improvement in operating life for battery-powered
systems.
The device is enabled when EN (enable) is
connected to a high voltage level (> 2V). Applying a
low voltage level (< 0.7V) to EN shuts down the
regulator, reducing the quiescent current to less than
1µA at TJ = +25°C.
The TPS758xx is offered in 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and
3.3V fixed-voltage versions and in an adjustable
version (programmable over the range of 1.22V to
5V). Output voltage tolerance is specified as a
maximum of 3% over line, load, and temperature
ranges. The TPS758xx family is available in a 5-pin
TO-220 (KC) and TO-263 (KTT) packages.

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.

SLVS330F – JUNE 2001 – REVISED APRIL 2007
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The TPS758xx family includes four fixed-output voltage regulators (1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V), and an
adjustable regulator, the TPS75801 (adjustable from 1.22V to 5V). The bandgap voltage is typically 1.22V.
Pin Functions
Enable (EN)
The EN terminal is an input which enables or shuts down the device. If EN is a low voltage level (< 0.7V), the
device will be in shutdown or sleep mode. When EN goes to a high voltage level (> 2V), the device will be
enabled.
Feedback (FB)
FB is an input terminal used for the adjustable-output option and must be connected to the output terminal either
directly, in order to generate the minimum output voltage of 1.22V, or through an external feedback resistor
divider for other output voltages. The FB connection should be as short as possible. It is essential to route the
terminal so that it minimizes/avoids noise pickup. Adding RC networks between the FB terminal and VOUT to
filter noise is not recommended because it may cause the regulator to oscillate.
Input Voltage (IN)
The VIN terminal is an input to the regulator.
Output Voltage (OUTPUT)
The VOUTPUT terminal is an output from the regulator.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Programming the TPS75801 Adjustable LDO Regulator
The output voltage of the TPS75801 adjustable regulator is programmed using an external resistor divider as
shown in Figure 20. The output voltage is calculated using:
V O + VREF
ǒ1) R1
Ǔ
R2
(1)
Where:
VREF = 1.224V typ (the internal reference voltage).
Resistors R1 and R2 should be chosen for approximately 40µA divider current. Lower value resistors can be
used but offer no inherent advantage and waste more power. Higher values should be avoided as leakage
currents at FB increase the output voltage error. The recommended design procedure is to choose R2 = 30.1kΩ
to set the divider current at 40µA and then calculate R1 using:

Regulator Protection
The TPS758xx PMOS-pass transistor has a built-in back diode that conducts reverse currents when the input
voltage drops below the output voltage (for example, during power down). Current is conducted from the output
to the input and is not internally limited. When extended reverse voltage is anticipated, external limiting may be
appropriate.
The TPS758xx also features internal current limiting and thermal protection. During normal operation, the
TPS758xx limits output current to approximately 10A. When current limiting engages, the output voltage scales
back linearly until the overcurrent condition ends. While current limiting is designed to prevent gross device
failure, care should be taken not to exceed the power dissipation ratings of the package. If the temperature of
the device exceeds –150°C (typ), thermal-protection circuitry shuts it down. Once the device has cooled below
+130°C (typ), regulator operation resumes.
Input Capacitor
For a typical application, a ceramic input bypass capacitor (0.22µF to 1µF) is recommended to ensure device
stability. This capacitor should be as close as possible to the input pin. Due to the impedance of the input
supply, large transient currents will cause the input voltage to droop. If this droop causes the input voltage to
drop below the UVLO threshold, the device will turn off. Therefore, it is recommended that a larger capacitor be
placed in parallel with the ceramic bypass capacitor at the regulator input. The size of this capacitor depends on
the output current, response time of the main power supply, and the distance of the main power supply to the
regulator. At a minimum, the capacitor should be sized to ensure that the input voltage does not drop below the
minimum UVLO threshold voltage during normal operating conditions.
Output Capacitor
As with most LDO regulators, the TPS758xx requires an output capacitor connected between OUT and GND to
stabilize the internal control loop. The minimum recommended capacitance value is 47µF with an ESR
(equivalent series resistance) of at least 200mΩ. As shown in Figure 21, most capacitor and ESR combinations
with a product of 47–6 x 0.2 = 9.4–6 or larger will be stable, provided the capacitor value is at least 47µF. Solid
tantalum electrolytic and aluminum electrolytic capacitors are all suitable, provided they meet the requirements
described in this section. Larger capacitors provide a wider range of stability and better load transient response.
This information and the ESR graphs shown in Figure 18, Figure 19, and Figure 21, is included to assist in
selection of suitable capacitance for the user's application. When necessary to achieve low height requirements
with high output current and/or high load capacitance, several higher ESR capacitors can be used in parallel to
meet these guidelines.

THERMAL INFORMATION
The amount of heat that an LDO linear regulator generates is directly proportional to the amount of power it
dissipates during operation. All integrated circuits have a maximum allowable junction temperature (TJmax)
above which normal operation is not assured. A system designer must design the operating environment so that
the operating junction temperature (TJ) does not exceed the maximum junction temperature (TJmax). The two
main environmental variables that a designer can use to improve thermal performance are air flow and external
heatsinks. The purpose of this information is to aid the designer in determining the proper operating environment
for a linear regulator that is operating at a specific power level.
In general, the maximum expected power (PD(max)) consumed by a linear regulator is computed as:
P D max + ǒVI(avg)*V O(avg)Ǔ
I O(avg))V I(avg)
I (Q)
(3)
Where:
•
•
•
•
VI(avg) is the average input voltage.
VO(avg) is the average output voltage.
IO(avg) is the average output current.
I(Q) is the quiescent current.
For most TI LDO regulators, the quiescent current is insignificant compared to the average output current;
therefore, the term VI(avg)× I(Q) can be neglected. The operating junction temperature is computed by adding the
ambient temperature (TA) and the increase in temperature due to the regulator power dissipation. The
temperature rise is computed by multiplying the maximum expected power dissipation by the sum of the thermal
resistances between the junction and the case (RΘJC), the case to heatsink (RΘCS), and the heatsink to ambient
(RΘSA). Thermal resistances are measures of how effectively an object dissipates heat. Typically, the larger the
device, the more surface area available for power dissipation and the lower the object's thermal resistance.
Figure 22 illustrates these thermal resistances for (a) a TO-220 package attached to a heatsink, and (b) a
TO-263 package mounted on a JEDEC High-K board.

Equation 4 summarizes the computation:
T J + T A)P D max @ ǒR QJC)RQCS)R QSAǓ
(4)
The RΘJC is specific to each regulator as determined by its package, lead frame, and die size provided in the
regulator's data sheet. The RΘSA is a function of the type and size of heatsink. For example, black body radiator
type heatsinks, like the one attached to the TO-220 package in Figure 22(a), can have RΘCS values ranging from
5°C/W for very large heatsinks to 50°C/W for very small heatsinks. The RΘCS is a function of how the package is
attached to the heatsink. For example, if a thermal compound is used to attach a heatsink to a TO-220 package,
RΘCSof 1°C/W is reasonable.
Even if no external black body radiator type heatsink is attached to the package, the board on which the
regulator is mounted will provide some heatsinking through the pin solder connections. Some packages, like the
TO-263 and TI's TSSOP PowerPAD™ packages, use a copper plane underneath the package or the circuit
board ground plane for additional heatsinking to improve their thermal performance. Computer-aided thermal
modeling can be used to compute very accurate approximations of integrated circuit thermal performance in
different operating environments (for example, different types of circuit boards, different types and sizes of
heatsinks, different air flows, etc.). Using these models, the three thermal resistances can be combined into one
thermal resistance between junction and ambient (RΘJA). This RΘJAis valid only for the specific operating
environment used in the computer model.
Equation 4 simplifies into Equation 5:
T J + T A)P D max @ R QJA
(5)
Rearranging Equation 5 results in Equation 6:
T *T A
R QJA + J
PD max
(6)
Using Equation 5 and the computer model generated curves shown in Figure 23 and Figure 26, a designer can
quickly compute the required heatsink thermal resistance/board area for a given ambient temperature, power
dissipation, and operating environment.

TO-220 Power Dissipation
The TO-220 package provides an effective means of managing power dissipation in through-hole applications.
The TO-220 package dimensions are provided in the mechanical drawings at the end of this data sheet. A
heatsink can be used with the TO-220 package to effectively lower the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
To illustrate, the TPS75825 in a TO-220 package was chosen. For this example, the average input voltage is
3.3V, the average output voltage is 2.5V, the average output current is 3A, the ambient temperature +55°C, the
air flow is 150 LFM, and the operating environment is the same as documented below. Neglecting the quiescent
current, the maximum average power is:
P D max + (3.3 * 2.5) V 3A + 2.4W

From Figure 23, RΘJA vs Heatsink Thermal Resistance, a heatsink with RΘSA = 22°C/W is required to dissipate
2.4W. The model operating environment used in the computer model to construct Figure 23 consisted of a
standard JEDEC High-K board (2S2P) with a 1-ounce internal copper plane and ground plane. Since the
package pins were soldered to the board, 450mm2 of the board was modeled as a heatsink. Figure 24 shows
the side view of the operating environment used in the computer model.

The TO-263 package provides an effective means of managing power dissipation in surface-mount applications.
The TO-263 package dimensions are provided in the mechanical drawings at the end of the data sheet. The
addition of a copper plane directly underneath the TO-263 package enhances the thermal performance of the
package.
To illustrate, the TPS75825 in a TO-263 package was chosen. For this example, the average input voltage is

standard JEDEC High-K board (2S2P) with a 1-ounce internal copper plane and ground plane. The package is
soldered to a 2-ounce copper pad. The pad is tied through thermal vias to the 1-ounce ground plane. Figure 27
