TPS7B4254-Q1 150-mA 40-V Voltage-Tracking LDO With 4-mV Tracking Tolerance
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
For automotive off-board sensors and low-current offboard modules, the power supply is through a long
cable from the main board. In such cases, protection
is required in the power devices for the off-board
loads to prevent the onboard components from
damage during a short to GND or short to battery
caused by a broken cable. Off-board sensors require
a power supply as consistent as that for onboard
components to secure high accuracy of data
acquisition.

The TPS7B4254-Q1 device is designed for
automotive applications with a 45-V load dump. The
device can either be used as one tracking lowdropout (LDO) regulator or as a voltage tracker to
build one closed power loop for off-board sensors
with an onboard main supply. The output of the
device is accurately regulated by a reference voltage
at the ADJ pin.
To provide an accurate power supply to the off-board
modules, the device offers a 4-mV ultralow tracking
tolerance between the ADJ and FB pins across
temperature. The back-to-back PMOS topology
eliminates the need for an external diode under a
reverse-polarity condition. The TPS7B4254-Q1
device also includes thermal shutdown, inductive
clamp, overload, and short-to-battery protection to
prevent damage to onboard components during
extreme conditions.

Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
All voltage values are with respect to the GND pin.
An internal diode is connected between the OUT and GND pins with 600-mA dc current capability for inductive clamp protection.
When the (ADJ – IN) voltage is higher than 18 V, the (ADJ – OUT) voltage should be maintained lower than 18 V, otherwise the device
can be damaged.

The minimum output capacitance requirement is applicable for a worst-case capacitance tolerance of 30%. When a resistor divider is
connected between the OUT and FB pins (the output voltage is higher than reference voltage), a 47-nF feedforward capacitor is
required to be connected between the OUT and FB pins for loop stability, and the ESR range of the output capacitor is required to be
from 0.001 to 10 Ω.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS7B4254-Q1 device is a monolithic integrated low-dropout voltage tracker with an ultralow tracking
tolerance. Key protection circuits are integrated in the device, including output current limitation, reverse polarity
protection, inductive load clamp, output short-to-battery protection, and thermal shutdown in case of an
overtemperature event.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Short-Circuit and Overcurrent Protection
The TPS7B4254-Q1 device features integrated fault protection, which makes the device ideal for automotive
applications. To keep the device in a safe area of operation during certain fault conditions, internal current-limit
protection is used to limit the maximum output current. This protection protects the device from excessive power
dissipation. For example, during a short-circuit condition on the output, the current through the pass element is
limited to IOUT(LIM) to protect the device from excessive power dissipation.
7.3.2 Integrated Inductive Clamp Protection
During output turnoff, the cable inductance continues to source the current from the output of the device. The
device integrates an inductive clamp at the OUT pin to help to dissipate the inductive energy stored in the cable.
An internal diode is connected between the OUT and GND pins with a dc-current capability of 600 mA for
inductive clamp protection.
7.3.3 OUT Short-to-Battery and Reverse-Polarity Protection
The TPS7B4254-Q1 device can withstand a short to battery on the output, as shown in Figure 22. Therefore, no
damage to the device occurs.

Figure 22. OUT Short to Battery, VIN = VBAT
A short to the battery can also occur when the device is powered by an isolated supply at lower voltage, as
shown in Figure 23. In this case, the TPS7B4254-Q1 supply-input voltage is set to 7 V when a short to battery
(14 V typical) occurs on the OUT pin, which operates at 5 V. The internal back-to-back PMOS remains on for
1 ms, during which the input voltage of the TPS7B4254-Q1 device charges up to the battery voltage. A diode
connected between the output of the dc-dc converter and the input of the TPS7B4254-Q1 device is required in
case the other loads connected behind the dc-dc converter cannot withstand the voltage of an automotive
battery. To achieve a lower dropout voltage, TI recommends using a Schottky diode. This diode can be
eliminated if the output of the dc-dc converter and the loads connected behind it withstand automotive battery
voltage.
The internal back-to-back PMOS is switched to OFF when reverse polarity or a short to battery occurs for 1 ms.
After that, the reverse current that flows out through the IN pin is less than 10 μA. Meanwhile, a special ESD
structure implemented at the input ensures the device can withstand –40 V.

Figure 23. OUT Short to Battery, VIN < VBAT
In most cases, the output of the TPS7B4254-Q1 device is shorted to the battery through an automotive cable.
The parasitic inductance on the cable results in LC oscillation at the output of the TPS7B4254-Q1 device when
the short to battery occurs. The peak voltage at the output of the TPS7B4254-Q1 device must be lower than the
absolute-maximum voltage rating (45 V) during LC oscillation.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.4 Undervoltage Shutdown
The device has an internally fixed undervoltage-shutdown threshold. Undervoltage shutdown activates when the
input voltage on IN drops below UVLO. This activation ensures the regulator is not latched into an unknown state
during a low input-supply voltage. If the input voltage has a negative transient that drops below the UVLO
threshold and then recovers, the regulator shuts down and then powers up with a standard power-up sequence
when the input voltage is above the required level.
7.3.5 Thermal Protection
The device incorporates a thermal shutdown (TSD) circuit as a protection from overheating. During continuous
normal operation, the junction temperature should not exceed the TSD trip point. If the junction temperature
exceeds the TSD trip point, the output turns off. When the junction temperature decreases to 15°C (typical) lower
than the TSD trip point, the output turns on.
NOTE
The purpose of the internal protection circuitry of the TPS7B4254-Q1 device is to protect
against overload conditions and is not intended as a replacement for proper heat-sinking.
Continuously running the device into thermal shutdown degrades device reliability.
7.3.6 Regulated Output (OUT)
The OUT pin is the regulated output based on the required voltage. The output has current limitation. During
initial power up, the regulator has an incorporated soft-start feature to control the initial current through the pass
element.
7.3.7 Adjustable Output Voltage (FB and ADJ)
7.3.7.1 OUT Voltage Equal to the Reference Voltage
With the reference voltage applied directly at the ADJ pin and the FB pin connected to the OUT pin, the voltage
at the OUT pin equals to the reference voltage at the ADJ pin, as shown in Figure 24.

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
The TPS7B4254-Q1 device is a 150-mA low-dropout tracking regulator with ultralow tracking tolerance. The
PSpice transient model is available for download on the product folder and can be used to evaluate the basic
function of the device.
8.2 Typical Applications
8.2.1 Application With Output Voltage Equal to the Reference Voltage
Figure 27 shows a typical application circuit for the TPS7B4254-Q1 device. Different values of external
components can be used, depending on the end application. An application may require a larger output capacitor
during fast load steps to prevent a large drop on the output voltage. TI recommends using a low-ESR ceramic
capacitor with a dielectric of type X5R or X7R.

8.2.1.2.1 Input Capacitor
The device requires an input decoupling capacitor, the value of which depends on the application. The typical
recommended value for the decoupling capacitor is 10 μF with a 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor in parallel. The
voltage rating must be greater than the maximum input voltage.
8.2.1.2.2 Output Capacitor
To ensure the stability of the TPS7B4254-Q1 device, the device requires an output capacitor with a value in the
range from 10 μF to 500 μF and with an ESR range from 0.001 Ω to 20 Ω when the FB pin is directly connected
to the OUT pin. TI recommends selecting a ceramic capacitor with low ESR to improve the load transient
response.
To achieve an output voltage higher than the reference voltage, a resistor divider is connected between the OUT
pin and the FB pin. In this case, a 47-nF feedforward capacitor must be connected between the OUT and FB
pins for loop stability. The ESR of the output capacitor must be from 0.001 Ω to 10 Ω.
When multiple capacitors (two or more) are connected in parallel at the OUT pin, the ESR range of each output
capacitor must be from 0.001 Ω to 3 Ω for loop stability.
In case the FB pin is shorted to ground, the TPS7B4254-Q1 device functions as a power switch with no need for
the output capacitor.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The device is designed to operate with an input voltage supply from 4 V to 40 V. This input supply must be well
regulated. If the input supply is more than a few inches away from the TPS7B4254-Q1 device, TI recommends
adding an electrolytic capacitor with a value of 10 μF and a ceramic bypass capacitor at the input.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
For the layout of the TPS7B4254-Q1 device, place the input and output capacitors close to the devices as shown
in the Functional Block Diagram. To enhance the thermal performance, TI recommends surrounding the device
with some vias. Minimize equivalent series inductance (ESL) and ESR to maximize performance and ensure
stability. Place every capacitor as close as possible to the device and on the same side of the PCB as the
regulator.
Do not place any of the capacitors on the opposite side of the PCB from where the regulator is installed. TI
strongly discourages the use of vias and long traces for the path between the output capacitor and the OUT pins
because vias can negatively impact system performance and even cause instability.
