TPS793-Q1
SGLS162I – APRIL 2003 – REVISED MARCH 2016
TPS793-Q1 Ultralow-Noise, High-PSRR, Fast RF 200-mA
Low-Dropout Linear Regulators
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
The TPS793xx-Q1 family of low-dropout (LDO) lowpower linear voltage regulators features high powersupply rejection ratio (PSRR), ultralow noise, fast
start-up, and excellent line and load transient
responses in a small-outline SOT-23 package. Each
TPS793-Q1 device in the family is stable, with a small
2.2-μF ceramic capacitor on the output. The
TPS793xx-Q1 family uses an advanced, proprietary,
BiCMOS fabrication process to yield extremely low
dropout voltages (for example, 112 mV at 200 mA,
TPS79330-Q1). Each device achieves fast start-up
times (approximately 50 μs with a 0.001-μF bypass
capacitor), while consuming very low quiescent
current (170 μA typical). Moreover, when the device
is placed in standby mode, the supply current is
reduced to less than 1 μA. The TPS79328-Q1
exhibits approximately 32 μVRMS of output voltage
noise with a 0.1-μF bypass capacitor. Applications
with analog components that are noise sensitive,
such as portable RF electronics, benefit from the high
PSRR and low-noise features, as well as the fast
response time.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TPS793xx-Q1 family of LDO regulators has been optimized for use in noise-sensitive battery-operated
equipment. The device features extremely low dropout voltages, high PSRR, ultralow output noise, low quiescent
current (170 μA typically), and enable-input to reduce supply currents to less than 1 μA when the regulator is
turned off.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The TPS793xx-Q1 uses an undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit that disables the output until the input voltage is
greater than the rising UVLO voltage. This circuit ensures that the device does not exhibit any unpredictable
behavior when the supply voltage is lower than the operational range of the internal circuitry, VIN(min).
8.3.2 Shutdown
The enable pin (EN) is active high. Enable the device by forcing the EN pin to exceed VEN(high) (2 V minimum).
Turn off the device by forcing the EN pin to drop below 0.7 V. If shutdown capability is not required, connect EN
to IN.
8.3.3 Foldback Current Limit
The TPS793xx-Q1 features internal current limiting and thermal protection. During normal operation, the
TPS793xx-Q1 limits output current to approximately 400 mA. 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 or the absolute
maximum voltage ratings of the device.
8.3.4 Thermal Protection
Thermal protection disables the output when the junction temperature rises to approximately 165°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 regulator dissipation, protecting the device from damage as a
result of overheating. Any tendency to activate the thermal protection circuit indicates excessive power
dissipation or an inadequate heatsink. For reliable operation, junction temperature must be limited to 125°C
maximum. 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.
The TPS793xx-Q1 internal protection circuitry is designed to protect against overload conditions. This circuitry is
not intended to replace proper heatsinking. Continuously running the TPS793xx-Q1 into thermal shutdown
degrades device reliability.
8.3.5 Reverse Current Operation
The TPS793xx-Q1 PMOS-pass transistor has a built-in back diode that conducts reverse current 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. If extended reverse voltage operation is anticipated, external limiting to
5% of the rated output current is recommended.
8.3.6 Regulator Protection
The TPS793xx-Q1 features internal current limiting and thermal protection. During normal operation, the
TPS793xx-Q1 limits output current to approximately 400 mA. 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 or the absolute
maximum voltage ratings of the device. If the temperature of the device exceeds approximately 165°C, thermalprotection circuitry shuts it down. Once the device has cooled down to below approximately 140°C, regulator
operation resumes.
The TPS793xx-Q1 PMOS-pass transistor has a built-in back diode that conducts reverse current 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. If extended reverse voltage operation is anticipated, external limiting
might be appropriate.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Normal Operation
The device regulates to the nominal output voltage under the following conditions:
• The input voltage is at least as high as VIN(min).
• The input voltage is greater than the nominal output voltage added to the dropout voltage.
• The enable voltage is greater than VEN(min).
• The output current is less than the current limit.
• The device junction temperature is less than the maximum specified junction temperature.
8.4.2 Dropout Operation
If the input voltage is lower than the nominal output voltage plus the specified dropout voltage, but all other
conditions are met for normal operation, the device operates in dropout mode. In this mode of operation, the
output voltage is the same as the input voltage minus the dropout voltage. The transient performance of the
device is significantly degraded because the pass device is in the linear region and no longer controls the current
through the LDO. Line or load transients in dropout can result in large output voltage deviations.
8.4.3 Disabled
The device is disabled under the following conditions:
• The enable voltage is less than the enable falling threshold voltage or has not yet exceeded the enable rising
threshold.
• The device junction temperature is greater than the thermal shutdown temperature.
• The input voltage is less than UVLOfalling.
Table 1 lists the conditions that lead to the different modes of operation.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 External Capacitor Requirements
A 0.1-μF or larger ceramic input bypass capacitor, connected between IN and GND and located close to the
TPS793xx-Q1, is required for stability and improves transient response, noise rejection, and ripple 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.

SGLS162I – APRIL 2003 – REVISED MARCH 2016
Like all LDOs, the TPS793xx-Q1 requires an output capacitor connected between OUT and GND to stabilize the
internal control loop. The minimum recommended capacitance is 2.2-μF. Any 2.2-μF or larger ceramic capacitor
is suitable, provided the capacitance does not vary significantly over temperature.
The internal voltage reference is a key source of noise in an LDO regulator. The TPS793xx-Q1 has a BYPASS
pin that is connected to the voltage reference through a 250-kΩ internal resistor. The 250-kΩ internal resistor, in
conjunction with an external bypass capacitor connected to the BYPASS pin, creates a low pass filter to reduce
the voltage reference noise and, therefore, the noise at the regulator output. For the regulator to operate
properly, the current flow out of the BYPASS pin must be at a minimum, because any leakage current creates an
IR drop across the internal resistor, thus, creating an output error. Therefore, the bypass capacitor must have
minimal leakage current.
For example, the TPS79328-Q1 exhibits only 32 μVRMS of output voltage noise using a 0.1-μF ceramic bypass
capacitor and a 2.2-μF ceramic output capacitor. Note that the output starts up slower as the bypass capacitance
increases due to the RC time constant at the BYPASS pin that is created by the internal 250-kΩ resistor and
external capacitor.
9.2.2.2 Programming the TPS79301-Q1 Adjustable LDO Regulator
The output voltage of the TPS79301-Q1 adjustable regulator is programmed using an external resistor divider as
shown in Figure 25. The output voltage is calculated using Equation 1.
R1 ö
æ
VO = Vref ´ ç 1 +

è R2 ø
where Vref = 1.2246 V typical (the internal reference voltage)
(1)
Resistors R1 and R2 should be chosen for approximately 50-μA divider current. Lower-value resistors can be
used for improved noise performance, but the solution consumes more power. Higher resistor values should be
avoided as leakage current into/out of FB across R1/R2 creates an offset voltage that artificially
increases/decreases the feedback voltage and, thus, erroneously decreases or increases VO. The recommended
design procedure is to choose R2 = 30.1 kΩ to set the divider current at 50 μA, C1 = 15 pF for stability, and then
calculate R1 using Equation 2.

R1 = ç O - 1÷ ´ R2

To improve the stability of the adjustable version, TI suggests placing a small compensation capacitor between
OUT and FB. For voltages 1.8 V, the
approximate value of this capacitor can be calculated using Equation 3.
C1 =
(3 ´ 10-7 ) ´ (R1 + R2)
(R1´ R2)

The suggested value of this capacitor for several resistor ratios is shown in the table in Table 3. If this capacitor
is not used (such as in a unity-gain configuration) or if an output voltage
