DESCRIPTION
•
250-mA Low-Dropout Regulator With Enable
The TPS794xx family of low-dropout (LDO) linear
voltage regulators features high power-supply rejec-
tion ratio (PSRR), ultralow-noise, fast start-up, and
excellent line and load transient responses in small
outline, MSOP-8 PowerPAD™ and SOT223-6 pack-
ages. Each device in the family is stable with a small
2.2-µF ceramic capacitor on the output. The family
uses an advanced, proprietary BiCMOS fabrication
process to yield extremely low dropout voltages (e.g.,
155 mV at 250 mA). Each device achieves fast
start-up times (approximately 50 µs with a 0.001-µF
bypass capacitor) while consuming low quiescent
current (170 µA typical). Moreover, when the device
is placed in standby mode, the supply current is
reduced to less than 1 µA. The TPS79428 exhibits
approximately 32 µVRMS of output voltage noise at
2.8 V output with a 0.1-µF bypass capacitor. Appli-
