CAP-FREE NMOS 250-mA LOW-DROPOUT REGULATOR
WITH REVERSE-CURRENT PROTECTION

FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
Qualified for Automotive Applications
The TPS732xx family of low-dropout (LDO) voltage
regulators uses a new topology: an NMOS pass
element in a voltage-follower configuration. This
topology is stable using output capacitors with low
ESR, and even allows operation without a capacitor.
It also provides high reverse blockage (low reverse
current) and ground pin current that is nearly constant
over all values of output current.
•
Stable with No Output Capacitor or Any Value
or Type of Capacitor
•
•
Input Voltage Range: 1.7 V to 5.5 V
Ultralow Dropout Voltage:
40 mV Typ at 250 mA
•
•
Excellent Load Transient Response—With or
Without Optional Output Capacitor
The TPS732xx uses an advanced BiCMOS process
to yield high precision while delivering low dropout
voltages and low ground pin current. Current
consumption, when not enabled, is under 1 µA and
ideal for portable applications. The extremely low
output noise (30 µVRMS with 0.1 µF CNR) is ideal for
powering VCOs. These devices are protected by
thermal shutdown and foldback current limit.
