•
Soft-Start (SS) Pin Provides a Linear Startup
DESCRIPTION
with Ramp Time Set by External Capacitor
The TPS74201 low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator
provides an easy-to-use robust power management
•
•
1% Accuracy Over Line, Load, and
Temperature
solution for
a
wide variety of applications.
Supports Input Voltages as Low as 0.9V with
External Bias Supply
User-programmable soft-start minimizes stress on the
input power source by reducing capacitive inrush
current on start-up. The soft-start is monotonic and
well suited for powering many different types of
processors and ASICs. The enable input and
power-good output allow easy sequencing with
external regulators. This complete flexibility permits
the user to configure a solution that will meet the
sequencing requirements of FPGAs, DSPs, and other
applications with special start-up requirements.

•
Adjustable Output (0.8V to 3.6V)
Ultra-Low Dropout: 55mV at 1.5A (typ)
Stable with Any or No Output Capacitor
Excellent Transient Response
Available in 5mm × 5mm × 1mm QFN and
DDPAK-7 Packages
•
•
Open-Drain Power-Good (5 × 5 QFN)
A precision reference and error amplifier deliver 1%
accuracy over load, line, temperature, and process.
Each LDO is stable with low-cost ceramic output
capacitors and the device is fully specified from
–40°C to +125°C. The TPS74201 is offered in a small
(5mm × 5mm) QFN package, yielding a highly
compact total solution size. For applications that
require additional power dissipation, the DDPAK
(KTW) package is also available.
