DESCRIPTION
The TPS73250-Q1 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.
New NMOS Topology Provides Low Reverse
Leakage Current

Low Noise: 30 μVRMS Typ (10 kHz to 100 kHz)
0.5% Initial Accuracy
1% Overall Accuracy (Line, Load, and
Temperature)
•
•
Less Than 1-μA Max IQ in Shutdown Mode
The TPS73250-Q1 uses an advanced BiCMOS
process to yield high precision while delivering very
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.
