SBVS067C–JANUARY 2006–REVISED AUGUST 2006
1A Low-Dropout Regulator
with Reverse Current Protection
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
Stable with 1.0µF or Larger Ceramic Output
Capacitor
The TPS737xx family of linear low-dropout (LDO)
voltage regulators uses an NMOS pass element in a
voltage-follower configuration. This topology is
relatively insensitive to output capacitor value and
ESR, allowing a wide variety of load configurations.
Load transient response is excellent, even with a
small 1.0µF ceramic output capacitor. The NMOS
topology also allows very low dropout for the die size
used.
•
•
•
Input Voltage Range: 2.2V to 5.5V
Ultra-Low Dropout Voltage: 130mV typ at 1A
Excellent Load Transient Response—Even
With Only 1.0µF Output Capacitor
•
NMOS Topology Delivers Low Reverse
Leakage Current
The TPS737xx family 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
1µA and ideal for portable applications. These
devices are protected by thermal shutdown and
foldback current limit.
