TPS7A11 500-mA, Low VIN, Low VOUT, Ultra-Low Dropout Regulator
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
The TPS7A11 is an ultra-small, low quiescent current,
low-dropout regulator (LDO). This device can source
500 mA with an outstanding ac performance (load and
line transient responses). This device has an input
range of 0.75 V to 3.3 V, and an output range of 0.5 V
to 3.0 V with a very high accuracy of 1.5% over load,
line, and temperature. This performance is ideal for
supplying power to the lower core voltages of modern
microcontrollers (MCUs) and analog sensors.

•
•
•
•
•
Ultra-low input voltage range: 0.75 V to 3.3 V
Ultra-low dropout for minimum power loss:
– 140 mV (maximum) at 500-mA DRV package
– 110 mV (maximum) at 500-mA YKA package
Low quiescent current:
– VIN IQ = 1.6 µA (typical)
– VBIAS IQ = 6 µA (typical)
1.5% accuracy over load, line, and temperature
High PSRR: 64 dB at 1 kHz
Available in fixed-output voltages:
– 0.5 V to 3.0 V (in 50-mV steps)
VBIAS range: 1.7 V to 5.5 V
Packages:
– 2.0-mm × 2.0-mm WSON (6)
– 0.74-mm × 1.09-mm DSBGA (5)

Smart watches, fitness trackers
Wireless headphones and earbuds
Camera modules
Smart phones and tablets
Portable medical devices
Solid state drives (SSDs)
The TPS7A11 is equipped with an active pulldown
circuit to quickly discharge the output when disabled,
and provides a known start-up state.
The TPS7A11 is available in a small 2.00-mm × 2.00mm WSON, 6-pin (DRV) package and an ultra-small
0.74-mm × 1.09-mm, 5-pin DSBGA (YKA) package
that makes the device suitable for space-constrained
applications.

The primary power path is through the IN pin and can
be connected to a power supply as low as 140 mV
above the output voltage. This device supports very
low input voltages with the use of an additional VBIAS
rail that is used to power the internal circuitry of the
LDO. The IN and BIAS pins consume very low
quiescent current of 1.6 µA and 6 µA, respectively.
The low IQ and ultra-low dropout features help to
increase the efficiency of the solution in powersensitive applications. For example, the supply
voltage to the IN pin can be an output of a highefficiency, DC/DC step-down regulator and the BIAS
pin supply voltage can be a rechargeable battery.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS7A11 is a low-input, ultra-low dropout, and low quiescent current linear regulator that is optimized for
excellent transient performance. These characteristics make the device ideal for most battery-powered
applications. The implementation of the BIAS pin on the TPS7A11 vastly improves efficiency of low-voltage
output applications by allowing the use of a pre-regulated, low-voltage input supply that offers sub-band-gap
output voltages. This low-dropout regulator (LDO) offers foldback current limit, shutdown, thermal protection,
high output voltage accuracy of 1.5% over the recommended junction temperature range, and optional active
discharge.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Excellent Transient Response
The TPS7A11 responds quickly to a transient on the input supply (line transient) or the output current (load
transient) resulting from the device high input impedance and low output impedance across frequency. This
same capability also means that the device has a high power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR) and low internal
noise floor (en). The LDO approximates an ideal power supply with outstanding line and load transient
performance.
The choice of external component values optimizes the small- and large-signal response; see the Input and
Output Capacitor Requirements section for proper capacitor selection.

7.3.1.1 Global Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The TPS7A11 uses two undervoltage lockout circuits: one on the BIAS pin and one on the IN pin to prevent the
device from turning on before either VBIAS and VIN rise above their lockout voltages. The two UVLO signals are
connected internally through an AND gate, as shown in Figure 7-1, that allows the device to be turned off when
either of these rails are below the lockout voltage.
UVLO(IN)
Global UVLO
UVLO(BIAS)
Figure 7-1. Global UVLO circuit
7.3.2 Active Discharge
The active discharge option has an internal pulldown MOSFET that connects a 120-Ω resistor to ground when
the device is disabled in order to actively discharge the output voltage. The active discharge circuit is activated
by driving the enable pin to logic low to disable the device, or when the device is in thermal shutdown.
The discharge time after disabling the device depends on the output capacitance (COUT) and the load resistance
(RL ) in parallel with the 120-Ω pulldown resistor. Equation 1 calculates this time:
t=
120 · RL
120 + RL
· COUT
(1)
Do not rely on the active discharge circuit for discharging a large amount of output capacitance after the input
supply has collapsed because reverse current can flow from the output to the input. This reverse current flow
can cause damage to the device. Limit reverse current to no more than 5% of the device-rated current.
7.3.3 Enable Pin
The enable pin for the device is active high. The output of the device is turned on when the enable pin voltage is
greater than the EN pin logic high voltage, and the output of the device is turned off when the enable pin voltage
is less than the EN pin logic low voltage. A voltage less than the EN pin logic low voltage on the enable pin
disables all internal circuits.
7.3.4 Sequencing Requirement
The IN, BIAS, and EN pin voltages can be sequenced in any order without causing damage to the device. The
start up is always monotonic regardless of the sequencing order or the ramp rates of the IN, BIAS, and EN pins.
For optimum device performance, VBIAS should be present before enabling the device because the device
internal circuitry is powered by VBIAS. For part numbers with an A following the voltage digits (example:
TPS7A11xxPA), the shutdown current is independent of sequencing. For part numbers without an A following the
voltage digits (example: TPS7A11xxP), the shutdown current into the BIAS input may increase by approximately
2 µA if the BIAS supply was present before the LDO was enabled and then disabled. This behavior can be
avoided with part numbers without an A by applying a logic high enable signal before applying the BIAS supply.
See the Recommended Operating Conditions table for proper voltage ranges of the IN, BIAS, and EN pins.
7.3.5 Internal Foldback Current Limit
The internal foldback current limit circuit is used to protect the LDO against high-load current faults or shorting
events. The foldback mechanism lowers the current limit as the output voltage decreases and limits power
dissipation during short-circuit events, while still allowing for the device to operate at the rated output current;
see Figure 6-12.

For example, when VOUT is 90% of VOUT(nom), the current limit is ICL (typical); however, if VOUT is forced to 0 V,
the current limit is ISC (typical). In many LDOs, the foldback current limit can prevent start up into a constantcurrent load or a negatively-biased output. A brick-wall current limit is when there is an abrupt current stop after
the current limit is reached. The foldback mechanism for this device goes into a brick-wall current limit when
VOUT is 90% of VOUT(nom), thus limiting current to ICL (typical). When VOUT is approximately 0 V, current is limited
to ISC (typical) in order to provide normal start up into a variety of loads. Thermal shutdown can be activated
during a current-limit event because of the high power dissipation typically found in these conditions. To provide
proper operation of the current limit, minimize the inductances to the input and load. Continuous operation in
current limit is not recommended.
7.3.6 Thermal Shutdown
The device contains a thermal shutdown protection circuit to disable the device when the thermal junction
temperature (TJ ) of the main pass-FET rises to the thermal shutdown temperature (TSD) for shutdown listed in
the Electrical Characteristics table. Thermal shutdown hysteresis ensures that the LDO resets again (turns on)
when the temperature falls to TSD for reset.
The thermal time constant of the semiconductor die is fairly short, and thus the device may cycle on and off
when thermal shutdown is reached until the power dissipation is reduced.
For reliable operation, limit the junction temperature to a maximum of 125°C. Operation above 125°C causes the
device to exceed the operational specifications. Although the internal protection circuitry of the device is
designed to protect against thermal overload conditions, this circuitry is not intended to replace proper heat
sinking. Continuously running the device into thermal shutdown or above a junction temperature of 125°C
reduces long-term reliability.
A fast start up when TJ > TSD for reset (typical, outside of the specified operation range) causes the device
thermal shutdown to assert at TSD for reset, and prevents the device from turning on until the junction
temperature is reduced below TSD for reset.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
The device has the following modes of operation:
•
•
•
Normal operation: The device regulates to the nominal output voltage
Dropout operation: The pass element operates as a resistor and the output voltage is set as VIN – VDO
Disabled: The output of the device is disabled and the discharge circuit is activated
Table 7-1 shows the conditions that lead to the different modes of operation.

7.4.1 Normal Mode
The device regulates the output to the nominal output voltage when all normal mode conditions in Table 7-1 are
met.
7.4.2 Dropout Mode
The device is not in regulation, and the output voltage tracks the input voltage minus the voltage drop across the
pass element of the device. In this mode, the PSRR, noise, and transient performance of the device are
significantly degraded.
7.4.3 Disable Mode
In this mode the pass element is turned off, the internal circuits are shut down, and the output voltage is actively
discharged to ground by an internal resistor.

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, as well as validating and testing their design
implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
Successfully implementing an LDO in an application depends on the application requirements. This section
discusses key device features and how to best implement them to achieve a reliable design.
8.1.1 Recommended Capacitor Types
The device is designed to be stable using low equivalent series resistance (ESR) ceramic capacitors at the input,
output, and bias pins. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are the industry standard for these types of applications, but
must be used with good judgment. Ceramic capacitors that use X7R-, X5R-, and COG-rated dielectric materials
provide relatively good capacitive stability across temperature. Avoid Y5V-rated capacitors because of large
variations in capacitance. Regardless of the ceramic capacitor type selected, ceramic capacitance varies with
operating voltage and temperature. As a rule of thumb, assume that effective capacitance decreases by as much
as 50%. The input, output, and bias capacitors recommended in the Recommended Operating Conditions table
account for an effective capacitance of approximately 50% of the nominal value.
8.1.2 Input and Output Capacitor Requirements
A minimum input ceramic capacitor is required for stability. A minimum output ceramic capacitor is also required
for stability, refer to the Recommended Operating Conditions table for the minimum capacitors values.
The input capacitor counteracts reactive input sources and improves transient response, input ripple, and PSRR.
A higher-value input capacitor may be necessary if large, fast rise-time load or line transients are anticipated, or
if the device is located several inches from the input power source. Dynamic performance of the device is
improved with the use of an output capacitor larger than the minimum value specified in the Recommended
Operating Conditions table.
Although a bias capacitor is not required, connect a 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor from BIAS to GND for best analog
design practice. This capacitor counteracts reactive bias sources if the source impedance is not sufficiently low.
Place the input, output, and bias capacitors as close as possible to the device to minimize trace parasitics.
8.1.3 Load Transient Response
The load-step transient response is the output voltage response by the LDO to a step in load current while
output voltage regulation is maintained. See Figure 6-20 to Figure 6-23 for typical load transient response. There
are two key transitions during a load transient response: the transition from a light to a heavy load, and the
transition from a heavy to a light load. The regions in Figure 8-1 are broken down as described in this section.
Regions A, E, and H are where the output voltage is in steady-state operation.

During transitions from a light load to a heavy load, the:
•
•
Initial voltage dip is a result of the depletion of the output capacitor charge and parasitic impedance to the
output capacitor (region B)
Recovery from the dip results from the LDO increasing the sourcing current, and leads to output voltage
regulation (region C)
During transitions from a heavy load to a light load, the:
•
•
Initial voltage rise results from the LDO sourcing a large current, and leads to an increase in the output
capacitor charge (region F)
Recovery from the rise results from the LDO decreasing its sourcing current in combination with the load
discharging the output capacitor (region G)
A larger output capacitance reduces the peaks during a load transient but slows down the response time of the
device. A larger dc load also reduces the peaks because the amplitude of the transition is lowered and a higher
current discharge path is provided for the output capacitor.
8.1.4 Dropout Voltage
Generally, the dropout voltage often refers to the minimum voltage difference between the input and output
voltage (VDO = VIN – VOUT) that is required for regulation. When VIN – VOUT drops below the required VDO for the
given load current, the device functions as a resistive switch and does not regulate output voltage. Dropout
voltage is linearly proportional to the output current because the device is operating as a resistive switch, see
Figure 6-4 and Figure 6-5.
Dropout voltage is also affected by the drive strength for the gate of the pass element, which is nonlinear with
respect to VBIAS on this device because of the inherited nonlinearity of the pass element gate capacitance, see
Figure 6-7.
8.1.5 Behavior During Transition From Dropout Into Regulation
Some applications may have transients that place this device into dropout, especially when this device can be
powered from a battery with relatively high ESR. The load transient saturates the output stage of the error
amplifier when the pass element is driven fully on, making the pass element function like a resistor from VIN to
VOUT. The error amplifier response time to this load transient is limited because the error amplifier must first
recover from saturation and then places the pass element back into active mode. During this time, VOUT
overshoots because the pass element is functioning as a resistor from VIN to VOUT.
When VIN ramps up slowly for start-up, the slow ramp-up voltage may place the device in dropout. As with many
other LDOs, the output can overshoot on recovery from this condition. However, this condition is easily avoided
through the use of the enable signal.
If operating under these conditions, apply a higher dc load or increase the output capacitance to reduce the
overshoot. These solutions provide a path to dissipate the excess charge.
8.1.6 Undervoltage Lockout Circuit Operation
The VIN UVLO circuit makes sure that the device remains disabled before the input supply reaches the minimum
operational voltage range. The VIN UVLO circuit also makes sure that the device shuts down when the input
supply collapses. Similarly, the VBIAS UVLO circuit makes sure that the device stays disabled before the bias
supply reaches the minimum operational voltage range. The VBIAS UVLO circuit also makes sure that the device
shuts down when the bias supply collapses.
Figure 8-2 depicts the UVLO circuit response to various input or bias voltage events. The diagram can be
separated into the following parts:
•
•
•
•
Region A: The device does not start until the input or bias voltage reaches the UVLO rising threshold
Region B: Normal operation, regulating device
Region C: Brownout event above the UVLO falling threshold (UVLO rising threshold – UVLO hystersis). The
output may fall out of regulation but the device is still enabled.
Region D: Normal operation, regulating device

8.1.7 Power Dissipation (PD)
Circuit reliability demands that proper consideration be given to device power dissipation, location of the circuit
on the printed circuit board (PCB), and correct sizing of the thermal plane. The PCB area around the regulator
must be as free as possible of other heat-generating devices that cause added thermal stresses.
Equation 2 calculates the maximum allowable power dissipation for the device in a given package:
PD-MAX = [(TJ – TA) / RθJA]
(2)
Equation 3 represents the actual power being dissipated in the device:
PD = (IGND + IOUT) × (VIN – VOUT)
(3)
Power dissipation can be minimized, and thus greater efficiency achieved, by proper selection of the system
voltage rails. Proper selection allows the minimum input-to-output voltage differential to be obtained. The low
dropout of the TPS7A11 allows for maximum efficiency across a wide range of output voltages.
The main heat conduction path for the device depends on the ambient temperature and the thermal resistance
across the various interfaces between the die junction and ambient air.
The maximum power dissipation determines the maximum allowable junction temperature (TJ) for the device.
According to Equation 4, maximum power dissipation and junction temperature are most often related by the
junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of the combined PCB and device package and the temperature of
the ambient air (TA). The equation is rearranged in Equation 5 for output current.
TJ = TA + (RθJA × PD)
(4)
IOUT = (TJ – TA) / [RθJA × (VIN – VOUT)]
(5)
Unfortunately, this thermal resistance (RθJA) is highly dependent on the heat-spreading capability built into the
particular PCB design, and therefore varies according to the total copper area, copper weight, and location of the
planes. The RθJA recorded in the Electrical Characteristics table is determined by the JEDEC standard, PCB,
and copper-spreading area, and is only used as a relative measure of package thermal performance. For a welldesigned thermal layout, RθJA is actually the sum of the DRV package junction-to-case (bottom) thermal
resistance (RθJC(bot)) plus the thermal resistance contribution by the PCB copper.

8.1.8 Estimating Junction Temperature
The JEDEC standard now recommends the use of psi (Ψ) thermal metrics to estimate the junction temperatures
of the LDO when in-circuit on a typical PCB board application. These metrics are not strictly speaking thermal
resistances, but rather offer practical and relative means of estimating junction temperatures. These psi metrics
are determined to be significantly independent of the copper-spreading area. The key thermal metrics (ΨJT and
ΨJB) are used in accordance with Equation 6 and are given in the Electrical Characteristics table.
ΨJT : TJ = TT + ΨJT × PD and ΨJB : TJ = TB + ΨJB × PD
(6)
where:
•
•
•
PD is the power dissipated as explained in Equation 3
TT is the temperature at the center-top of the device package
TB is the PCB surface temperature measured 1 mm from the device package and centered on the package
edge
8.1.9 Recommended Area for Continuous Operation
The operational area of an LDO is limited by the dropout voltage, output current, junction temperature, and input
voltage. The recommended area for continuous operation for a linear regulator is shown in Figure 8-3 and can
be separated into the following regions:
•
•
•
Output Current (A)
•
Dropout voltage limits the minimum differential voltage between the input and the output (VIN – VOUT) at a
given output current level; see the Dropout Voltage section for more details.
The rated output current limits the maximum recommended output current level. Exceeding this rating causes
the device to fall out of specification.
The rated junction temperature limits the maximum junction temperature of the device. Exceeding this rating
causes the device to fall out of specification and reduces long-term reliability.
– Equation 5 provides the shape of the slope. The slope is nonlinear because the maximum rated junction
temperature of the LDO is controlled by the power dissipation across the LDO, thus when VIN – VOUT
increases the output current must decrease.
The rated input voltage range governs both the minimum and maximum of VIN – VOUT.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedures
This design example is powered by a rechargeable battery that can be a building block in many portable
applications. Noise-sensitive portable electronics require an efficient small-size solution for their power supply.
Traditional LDOs are known for their low efficiency in contrast to the low-input, low-output voltage (LILO) LDOs
such as the TPS7A11. The use of a bias rail in the TPS7A11 allows the device to operate at a lower input
voltage, thus reducing the power dissipation across the die and maximizing device efficiency. Equation 7
calculates the efficiency for this design.
Efficiency = η = POUT/PIN ×100 % = (VOUT × IOUT) /(VIN × IIN + VBIAS × IBIAS) × 100 %
(7)
Equation 7 reduces to Equation 8 because the design example load current is much greater than the quiescent
current of the bias rail.
Efficiency = η = (VOUT × IOUT) / (VIN × IIN) × 100%

9 Power Supply Recommendations
This device is designed to operate from an input supply voltage range of 0.75 V to 3.3 V and a bias supply
voltage range of 1.7 V to 5.5 V. The input and bias supplies must be well regulated and free of spurious noise. To
make sure that the output voltage is well regulated and dynamic performance is optimum, the input supply must
be at least VOUT(nom) + 0.5 V and VBIAS = VOUT(nom) + VDO(BIAS).
