DESCRIPTION
The TPS74801 low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator
provides an easy-to-use robust power management
Ultralow VIN Range: 0.8V to 5.5V
VBIAS Range 2.7V to 5.5V
solution for
a
wide variety of applications.
Low Dropout: 60mV typ at 1.5A, VBIAS = 5V
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 meets the sequencing
requirements of FPGAs, DSPs, and other
applications with special start-up requirements.
Power Good (PG) Output Allows Supply
Monitoring or Provides a Sequencing Signal

Stable with Any Output Capacitor ≥ 2.2μF
A precision reference and error amplifier deliver 2%
accuracy over load, line, temperature, and process.
The device is stable with any type of capacitor
greater than or equal to 2.2μF, and is fully specified
from –40°C to +125°C. The TPS74801 is offered in a
small 3mm × 3mm SON-10 package, yielding a highly
compact, total solution size. It is also available in a 5
x 5 QFN-20 for compatibility with the TPS74401.
