DESCRIPTION
•
250-mA Low-Dropout Regulator With Enable
The TPS794xx family of low-dropout (LDO) linear
voltage regulators features high power-supply
rejection ratio (PSRR), ultralow-noise, fast start-up,
and excellent line and load transient responses in
small outline, MSOP-8 PowerPAD™ and SOT223-6
packages. 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 (for example, 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

32 µVRMS of output voltage noise at 2.8 V output with
a 0.1-µF bypass capacitor. Applications with analog
components that are noise-sensitive, such as
portable RF electronics, benefit from the high PSRR
and low noise features as well as the fast response
time.
