1.5A LDO Linear Regulator with Programmable Soft-Start
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
•
•
•
Ultra-Low VIN and VOUT Range: 0.8V to 5.5V
The TPS74801 low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator
provides an easy-to-use robust power management
VBIAS Range 2.7V to 5.5V
Low Dropout: 60mV typ at 1.5A, VBIAS = 5V
solution for
a
wide variety of applications.
Power Good (PG) Output Allows Supply
Monitoring or Provides a Sequencing Signal
for Other Supplies
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.

2% Accuracy Over Line/Load/Temperature
Programmable Soft-Start Provides Linear
Voltage Startup
•
VBIAS Permits Low VIN Operation with Good
Transient Response
•
•
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 output capacitor type,
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.
