Soft-Start (SS) Pin Provides a Linear Startup
with Ramp Time Set by External Capacitor
The TPS744xx low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators
provide an easy-to-use robust power management
solution for a wide variety of applications. 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 specific start-up requirements.
1% Accuracy Over Line, Load, and
Temperature
Supports Input Voltages as Low as 0.9V with
External Bias Supply

Adjustable Output (0.8V to 3.6V)
Fixed Output (0.9V to 3.6V)
Ultra-Low Dropout: 115mV at 3.0A (typ)
Stable with Any or No Output Capacitor
Excellent Transient Response
Available in 5mm × 5mm × 1mm QFN and
DDPAK-7 Packages
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 family is fully specified from
–40°C to +125°C. The TPS744xx 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.
