DESCRIPTION
The TPS76901 low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator offers the benefits of low dropout voltage, ultralow-power
operation, and miniaturized packaging. This regulator features low dropout voltages and ultralow quiescent
current compared to conventional LDO regulators. The TPS76901 is ideal for micropower operations and where
board space is at a premium.
A combination of new circuit design and process innovation has enabled the usual PNP pass transistor to be
replaced by a PMOS pass element. Because the PMOS pass element behaves as a low-value resistor, the
dropout voltage is very low, and is directly proportional to the load current. Since the PMOS pass element is a
voltage-driven device, the quiescent current is ultralow (28 μA maximum) and is stable over the entire range of
output load current (0 mA to 100 mA). Intended for use in portable systems such as laptops and cellular phones,
the ultralow-dropout voltage feature and ultralow-power operation result in a significant increase in system
battery operating life.
The TPS76901 also features a logic-enabled sleep mode to shut down the regulator, reducing quiescent current
to 1 μA, typical at TJ = 25°C. The TPS76901 is a variable version programmable over the range of 1.2 V to
4.5 V.

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.

SLVSA53A – NOVEMBER 2009 – REVISED DECEMBER 2009
APPLICATION INFORMATION (1)
The TPS76901 low-dropout (LDO) regulator has been optimized for use in battery-operated equipment. It
features extremely low dropout voltages, low quiescent current (17 μA nominally), and enables inputs to reduce
supply currents to 1 μA when the regulators are turned off.
DEVICE OPERATION
The TPS76901 uses a PMOS pass element to dramatically reduce both dropout voltage and supply current over
more conventional PNP-pass-element LDO designs. The PMOS pass element is a voltage-controlled device and,
unlike a PNP transistor, it does not require increased drive current as output current increases. Supply current in
the TPS76901 is essentially constant from no load to maximum load.
Current limiting prevents damage by excessive output current. The device switches into a constant-current mode
at approximately 350 mA; further load reduces the output voltage instead of increasing the output current. The
PMOS pass element includes a back gate diode that conducts reverse current when the input voltage level drops
below the output voltage level.
A voltage of 1.7 V or greater on the EN input will disable the TPS76901 internal circuitry, reducing the supply
current to 1 μA. A voltage of less than 0.9 V on the EN input will enable the TPS76901 and will enable normal
operation to resume. The EN input does not include any deliberate hysteresis, and it exhibits an actual switching
threshold of approximately 1.5 V.
A typical application circuit is shown in Figure 5.

EXTERNAL CAPACITOR REQUIREMENTS
Although not required, a 0.047-μF or larger ceramic input bypass capacitor, connected between IN and GND and
located close to the TPS76901, is recommended to improve transient response and noise rejection. A
higher-value electrolytic input capacitor may be necessary if large, fast-rise-time load transients are anticipated
and the device is located several inches from the power source.
Like all low dropout regulators, the TPS76901 requires an output capacitor connected between OUT and GND to
stabilize the internal control loop. The minimum recommended capacitance is 4.7 μF. The ESR (equivalent series
resistance) of the capacitor should be between 0.2 Ω and 10 Ω. to ensure stability. Capacitor values larger than
4.7 μF are acceptable, and allow the use of smaller ESR values. Capacitances less than 4.7 μF are not
recommended because they require careful selection of ESR to ensure stability. Solid tantalum electrolytic,
aluminum electrolytic, and multilayer ceramic capacitors are all suitable, provided they meet the requirements
described above. Most of the commercially available 4.7-μF surface-mount solid tantalum capacitors, including
devices from Sprague, Kemet, and Nichico, meet the ESR requirements stated above. Multilayer ceramic
capacitors may have very small equivalent series resistances and may thus require the addition of a low value
series resistor to ensure stability.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE PROGRAMMING
The output voltage of the TPS76901 adjustable regulator is programmed using an external resistor divider as
shown in Figure 6. The output voltage is calculated using:
(
R1
VO = VREF • 1 + −
R2
)
(1)
Where:
VREF = 1.127 V typ (the internal reference voltage)
Resistors R1 and R2 should be chosen for approximately 7-μA 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 = 169 kΩ
to set the divider current at 7 μA and then calculate R1 using:

REGULATOR PROTECTION
The TPS76901 PMOS-pass transistor has a built-in back diode that conducts reverse current when the input
voltage drops below the output voltage (e.g., during power down). Current is conducted from the output to the
input and is not internally limited. If extended reverse voltage operation is anticipated, external limiting might be
appropriate.
The TPS76901 features internal current limiting protection. During normal operation, the TPS76901 limits output
current to approximately 350 mA. When current limiting engages, the output voltage scales back linearly until the
over current condition ends.
