TPS7A26
SBVS290B – DECEMBER 2018 – REVISED OCTOBER 2019
TPS7A26 500-mA, 18-V, Ultra-Low IQ, Low-Dropout Linear Voltage Regulator
With Power-Good
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
The TPS7A26 low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage
regulator supports a 2.4-V to 18-V input voltage
range with very-low quiescent current (IQ). These
features help modern appliances meet increasingly
stringent energy requirements and help extend
battery life in portable-power solutions.

•
Ultra-low IQ: 2.0 µA
Input voltage: 2.4 V to 18 V
Output voltage options available:
– Fixed: 1.25 V to 5.5 V
– Adjustable: 1.24 V to 17.4 V
1% accuracy over temperature
Low dropout: 590 mV (max) at 500 mA
Open-drain, power-good output
Active overshoot pulldown protection
Thermal shutdown and overcurrent protection
Operating junction temperature: –40°C to +125°C
Stable with 1-µF output capacitors
Package: 6-pin WSON
The TPS7A26 is available in both fixed and
adjustable versions. For more flexibility or higher
output voltages, the adjustable version uses feedback
resistors to set the output voltage from 1.24 V to
17.4 V. Both versions have 1% output regulation
accuracy that provides precision regulation for
microcontroller (MCU) references.
With the open-drain, power-good (PG) output the
device can provide a reset to an MCU or be wireORed and level-shifted with other open-drain PGs to
provide a system-wide PG or reset.
2 Applications
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The TPS7A26 LDO operates more efficiently than
standard linear regulators because the maximum
dropout voltage is less than 590 mV at 500 mA of
current. This maximum dropout voltage allows for
87.7% efficiency from a 5.7-V input voltage (VIN) to
5.0-V output voltage (VOUT).

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS7A26 is an 18-V, low quiescent current, low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator. The low IQ performance
makes the TPS7A26 an excellent choice for battery-powered or line-power applications that are expected to
meet increasingly stringent standby-power standards.
The 1% accuracy over temperature and power-good indication make this device an excellent choice for meeting
a wide range of microcontroller power requirements.
For increased reliability, the TPS7A26 also incorporates overcurrent, overshoot pulldown, and thermal shutdown
protection. The operating junction temperature is –40°C to +125°C, and adds margin for applications concerned
with higher working ambient temperatures.
The TPS7A26 is available in a thermally enhanced WSON package.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Output Enable
The enable pin for the device is an active-high pin. The output voltage is enabled when the voltage of the enable
pin is greater than the high-level input voltage of the EN pin and disabled with the enable pin voltage is less than
the low-level input voltage of the EN pin. If independent control of the output voltage is not needed, connect the
enable pin to the input of the device.
7.3.2 Dropout Voltage
Dropout voltage (VDO) is defined as the input voltage minus the output voltage (VIN – VOUT) at the rated output
current (IRATED), where the pass transistor is fully on. IRATED is the maximum IOUT listed in the Recommended
Operating Conditions table. The pass transistor is in the ohmic or triode region of operation, and acts as a switch.
The dropout voltage indirectly specifies a minimum input voltage greater than the nominal programmed output
voltage at which the output voltage is expected to stay in regulation. If the input voltage falls to less than the
nominal output regulation, then the output voltage falls as well.

Feature Description (continued)
For a CMOS regulator, the dropout voltage is determined by the drain-source on-state resistance (RDS(ON)) of the
pass transistor. Therefore, if the linear regulator operates at less than the rated current, the dropout voltage for
that current scales accordingly. Use Equation 1 to calculate the RDS(ON) of the device.
VDO
RDS(ON) =
IRATED
(1)
7.3.3 Current Limit
The device has an internal current limit circuit that protects the regulator during transient high-load current faults
or shorting events. The current limit is a brickwall scheme. In a high-load current fault, the brickwall scheme limits
the output current to the current limit (ICL). ICL is listed in the Electrical Characteristics table.
The output voltage is not regulated when the device is in current limit. When a current limit event occurs, the
device begins to heat up because of the increase in power dissipation. When the device is in brickwall current
limit, the pass transistor dissipates power [(VIN – VOUT) × ICL]. If thermal shutdown is triggered, the device turns
off. After the device cools down, the internal thermal shutdown circuit turns the device back on. If the output
current fault condition continues, the device cycles between current limit and thermal shutdown. For more
information on current limits, see the Know Your Limits application report.
Figure 36 shows a diagram of the current limit.

7.3.4 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The device has an independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit that monitors the input voltage, allowing a
controlled and consistent turn on and off of the output voltage. To prevent the device from turning off if the input
drops during turn on, the UVLO has hysteresis as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table.
7.3.5 Thermal Shutdown
The device contains a thermal shutdown protection circuit to disable the device when the junction temperature
(TJ) of the pass transistor rises to TSD(shutdown) (typical). Thermal shutdown hysteresis assures that the device
resets (turns on) when the temperature falls to TSD(reset) (typical).
The thermal time-constant of the semiconductor die is fairly short, thus the device may cycle on and off when
thermal shutdown is reached until power dissipation is reduced. Power dissipation during startup can be high
from large VIN – VOUT voltage drops across the device or from high inrush currents charging large output
capacitors. Under some conditions, the thermal shutdown protection disables the device before startup
completes.

Feature Description (continued)
When the thermal limit is triggered with load currents near the value of the current limit, the output may oscillate
prior to the output switching off.
For reliable operation, limit the junction temperature to the maximum listed in the Recommended Operating
Conditions table. Operation above this maximum temperature causes the device to exceed its operational
specifications. Although the internal protection circuitry of the device is designed to protect against thermal
overall conditions, this circuitry is not intended to replace proper heat sinking. Continuously running the device
into thermal shutdown or above the maximum recommended junction temperature reduces long-term reliability.
7.3.6 Power Good
The power-good (PG) pin is an open-drain output and can be connected to a regulated supply through an
external pullup resistor. The maximum pullup voltage is listed as VPG in the Recommended Operating Conditions
table. For the PG pin to have a valid output, the voltage on the IN pin must be greater than VUVLO(RISING), as listed
in the Electrical Characteristics table. When the VOUT exceeds VIT(PG,RISING), the PG output is high impedance and
the PG pin voltage pulls up to the connected regulated supply. When the regulated output falls below
VIT(PG,FALLING), the open-drain output turns on and pulls the PG output low after a short deglitch time. If output
voltage monitoring is not needed, the PG pin can be left floating or connected to ground.
By connecting a pullup resistor to an external supply, any downstream device can receive power-good (PG) as a
logic signal that can be used for sequencing. Make sure that the external pullup supply voltage results in a valid
logic signal for the receiving device.
The recommended maximum PG pin sink current (IPG-SINK) and the leakage current into the PG pin (ILKG(PG)) are
listed in the Electrical Characteristics table.
The PG pullup voltage (VPG_PULLUP), the desired minimum power-good output voltage (VPG(MIN)), and ILKG(PG) limit
the maximum PG pin pullup resistor value (RPG_PULLUP). VPG_PULLUP, the PG pin low-level output voltage (VOL(PG)),
and IPG-SINK limit the minimum RPG_PULLUP. Maximum and minimum values for RPG_PULLUP can be calculated from
the following equations:
RPG_PULLUP(MAX) = (VPG_PULLUP – VPG(MIN)) / ILKG(PG)_MAX
RPG_PULLUP(MIN) = (VPG_PULLUP – VOL(PG)) / IPG-SINK
(2)
(3)
For example, if the PG pin is connected to a pullup resistor with a 3.3-V external supply, from Equation 2,
RPG_PULLUP(MAX) is 11 MΩ. From Equation 3, RPG_PULLUP(MIN) is 5.8 kΩ.
7.3.7 Active Overshoot Pulldown Circuitry
This device has pulldown circuitry connected to VOUT. This circuitry is a 100-μA current sink, in series with a 5.5kΩ resistor, controlled by VEN. When VEN is below VEN(LOW), the pulldown circuitry is disabled and the LDO output
is in high-impedance mode.
If the output voltage is more than 60 mV above nominal voltage when VEN ≥ VEN(LOW), the pulldown circuitry turns
on and the output is pulled down until the output voltage is within 60 mV from the nominal voltage. This feature
helps reduce overshoot during the transient response.

operation. See the Electrical Characteristics table for parameter values.

7.4.2 Normal Operation
The device regulates to the nominal output voltage when the following conditions are met:
• The input voltage is greater than the nominal output voltage plus the dropout voltage (VOUT(nom) + VDO)
• The output current is less than the current limit (IOUT < ICL)
• The device junction temperature is less than the thermal shutdown temperature (TJ < TSD)
• The enable voltage has previously exceeded the enable rising threshold voltage and has not yet decreased to
less than the enable falling threshold
7.4.3 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, the output voltage
tracks the input voltage. During this mode, the transient performance of the device becomes significantly
degraded because the pass transistor is in the ohmic or triode region, and acts as a switch. Line or load
transients in dropout can result in large output-voltage deviations.
When the device is in a steady dropout state (defined as when the device is in dropout, VIN < VOUT(NOM) + VDO,
directly after being in a normal regulation state, but not during startup), the pass transistor is driven into the
ohmic or triode region. When the input voltage returns to a value greater than or equal to the nominal output
voltage plus the dropout voltage (VOUT(NOM) + VDO), the output voltage can overshoot for a short period of time
while the device pulls the pass transistor back into the linear region.
7.4.4 Disabled
The output of the device can be shutdown by forcing the voltage of the enable pin to less than the maximum EN
pin low-level input voltage (see the Electrical Characteristics table). When disabled, the pass transistor is turned
off and internal circuits are shutdown.

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. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
8.1.1 Adjustable Device Feedback Resistors
The adjustable-version device requires external feedback divider resistors to set the output voltage. VOUT is set
using the feedback divider resistors, R1 and R2, according to the following equation:
VOUT = VFB × (1 + R1 / R2)
(4)
To ignore the FB pin current error term in the VOUT equation, set the feedback divider current to 100x the FB pin
current listed in the Electrical Characteristics table. This setting provides the maximum feedback divider series
resistance, as shown in the following equation:
R1 + R2 ≤ VOUT / (IFB × 100)
(5)
8.1.2 Recommended Capacitor Types
The device is designed to be stable using low equivalent series resistance (ESR) capacitors at the input and
output. Multilayer ceramic capacitors have become the industry standard for these types of applications and are
recommended, but must be used with good judgment. Ceramic capacitors that employ X7R-, X5R-, and C0Grated dielectric materials provide relatively good capacitive stability across temperature, whereas the use of Y5Vrated capacitors is discouraged because of large variations in capacitance.
Regardless of the ceramic capacitor type selected, the effective capacitance varies with operating voltage and
temperature. As a rule of thumb, expect the effective capacitance to decrease by as much as 50%. The input
and output capacitors recommended in the Recommended Operating Conditions table account for an effective
capacitance of approximately 50% of the nominal value.
8.1.3 Input and Output Capacitor Requirements
Although an input capacitor is not required for stability, good analog design practice is to connect a capacitor
from IN to GND. This capacitor counteracts reactive input sources and improves transient response, input ripple,
and PSRR. An input capacitor is recommended if the source impedance is more than 0.5 Ω. A higher value
capacitor may be necessary if large, fast load transient 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. Use an output capacitor
within the range specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table for stability.
The effective output capacitance value is recommended to not exceed 50 µF.
8.1.4 Reverse Current
Excessive reverse current can damage this device. Reverse current flows through the intrinsic body diode of the
pass transistor instead of the normal conducting channel. At high magnitudes, this current flow degrades the
long-term reliability of the device.
Conditions where reverse current can occur are outlined in this section, all of which can exceed the absolute
maximum rating of VOUT ≤ VIN + 0.3 V.
• If the device has a large COUT and the input supply collapses with little or no load current
• The output is biased when the input supply is not established
• The output is biased above the input supply

Application Information (continued)
If reverse current flow is expected in the application, external protection is recommended to protect the device.
Reverse current is not limited in the device, so external limiting is required if extended reverse voltage operation
is anticipated.

8.1.5 Feed-Forward Capacitor (CFF)
For the adjustable-voltage version device, a feed-forward capacitor (CFF) can be connected from the OUT pin to
the FB pin. CFF improves transient, noise, and PSRR performance, but is not required for regulator stability.
Recommended CFF values are listed in the Recommended Operating Conditions table. A higher capacitance CFF
can be used; however, the startup time increases. For a detailed description of CFF tradeoffs, see the Pros and
Cons of Using a Feedforward Capacitor with a Low-Dropout Regulator application report.
8.1.6 Power Dissipation (PD)
Circuit reliability requires consideration of the 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 have few or no
other heat-generating devices that cause added thermal stress.
To first-order approximation, power dissipation in the regulator depends on the input-to-output voltage difference
and load conditions. Equation 6 calculates power dissipation (PD).
PD = (VIN – VOUT) × IOUT
(6)
NOTE
Power dissipation can be minimized, and therefore greater efficiency can be achieved, by
correct selection of the system voltage rails. For the lowest power dissipation use the
minimum input voltage required for correct output regulation.

Application Information (continued)
For devices with a thermal pad, the primary heat conduction path for the device package is through the thermal
pad to the PCB. Solder the thermal pad to a copper pad area under the device. This pad area must contain an
array of plated vias that conduct heat to additional copper planes for increased heat dissipation.
The maximum power dissipation determines the maximum allowable ambient temperature (TA) for the device.
According to Equation 7, power dissipation and junction temperature are most often related by the junction-toambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of the combined PCB and device package and the temperature of the ambient
air (TA).
TJ = TA + (RθJA × PD)
(7)
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
junction-to-ambient thermal resistance listed in the Thermal Information table is determined by the JEDEC
standard PCB and copper-spreading area, and is used as a relative measure of package thermal performance.
8.1.7 Estimating Junction Temperature
The JEDEC standard now recommends the use of psi (Ψ) thermal metrics to estimate the junction temperatures
of the linear regulator when in-circuit on a typical PCB board application. These metrics are not thermal
resistance parameters and instead offer a practical and relative way to estimate junction temperature. These psi
metrics are determined to be significantly independent of the copper area available for heat-spreading. The
Thermal Information table lists the primary thermal metrics, which are the junction-to-top characterization
parameter (ψJT) and junction-to-board characterization parameter (ψJB). These parameters provide two methods
for calculating the junction temperature (TJ). As described in , use the junction-to-top characterization parameter
(ψJT) with the temperature at the center-top of device package (TT) to calculate the junction temperature. As
described in , use the junction-to-board characterization parameter (ψJB) with the PCB surface temperature 1 mm
from the device package (TB) to calculate the junction temperature.
TJ = TT + ψJT × PD
where:
• PD is the dissipated power
• TT is the temperature at the center-top of the device package
TJ = TB + ψJB × PD
(8)
where
•
TB is the PCB surface temperature measured 1 mm from the device package and centered on the package
edge
(9)
For detailed information on the thermal metrics and how to use them, see the Semiconductor and IC Package
Thermal Metrics application report.

8.1.8 Special Consideration for Line Transient
During a line transient, the response of this LDO to a very large or fast input voltage change can cause a brief
shutdown lasting up to a few hundred microseconds from the voltage transition. This shutdown can be avoided
by reducing the voltage step size, increasing the transition time, or a combination of both. Figure 39 provides a
boundary to follow to avoid this behavior. If necessary, reduce slew rate and the voltage step size to stay below
the curve.

SBVS290B – DECEMBER 2018 – REVISED OCTOBER 2019
8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Select a 5-V output, fixed or adjustable device to generate the 5-V rail. The fixed-version LDO has internal
feedback divider resistors, and thus has lower quiescent current. The adjustable-version LDO requires external
feedback divider resistors, and is described in the Selecting Feedback Divider Resistors section.
8.2.2.1 Transient Response
As with any regulator, increasing the output capacitor value reduces over- and undershoot magnitude, but
increases transient response duration.
8.2.2.2 Selecting Feedback Divider Resistors
For this design example, VOUT is set to 5 V. The following equations set the output voltage:
VOUT = VFB × (1 + R1 / R2)
R1 + R2 ≤ VOUT / (IFB × 100)
(10)
(11)
For improved output accuracy, use Equation 11 and IFB(TYP) = 10 nA as listed in the Electrical Characteristics
table to calculate the upper limit for series feedback resistance, R1 + R2 ≤ 5 MΩ.
The control-loop error amplifier drives the FB pin to the same voltage as the internal reference (VFB = 1.24 V as
listed in the Electrical Characteristics table). Use Equation 10 to determine the ratio of R1 / R2 = 3.03. Use this
ratio and solve Equation 11 for R2. Now calculate the upper limit for R2 ≤ 1.24 MΩ. Select a standard value
resistor of R2 = 1.18 MΩ.
Reference Equation 10 and solve for R1:
R1 = (VOUT / VFB – 1) × R2
(12)
From Equation 12, R1 = 3.64 MΩ can be determined. Select a standard resistor value for R1 = 3.6 MΩ. From
Equation 10, select VOUT = 5.023 V.
8.2.2.3 Thermal Dissipation
Junction temperature can be determined using the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) and the total
power dissipation (PD). Use Equation 13 to calculate the power dissipation. Multiply PD by RθJA and add the
ambient temperature (TA), as Equation 14 shows, to calculate the junction temperature (TJ).
PD = (IGND+ IOUT) × (VIN – VOUT)
TJ = RθJA × PD + TA
(13)
(14)
Equation 15 calculates the maximum ambient temperature. Equation 16 calculates the maximum ambient
temperature for typical design applications.
TA(MAX) = TJ(MAX) – (RθJA × PD)
TA(MAX) = 125°C – [73.3°C/W × (7.2 V – 5 V) × 0.33 A] = 71.8°C
