DESCRIPTION
The TPS793xx family of low-dropout (LDO) low-power
linear voltage regulators features high power supply
rejection ratio (PSRR), ultralow noise, fast start-up, and
excellent line and load transient responses in a small
outline, SOT23, package. Each device in the family is
stable, with a small 2.2-µF ceramic capacitor on the
output. The TPS793xx family uses an advanced,
proprietary BiCMOS fabrication process to yield
extremely low dropout voltages (e.g., 112 mV at 200
mA, TPS79330). Each device achieves fast start-up
times (approximately 50 µs with a 0.001-µF bypass
capacitor) while consuming very 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 TPS79328 exhibits approximately 32
µVRMS of output voltage noise 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.
Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications of Texas Instruments
semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The TPS793xx family of low-dropout (LDO) regulators has
been optimized for use in noise-sensitive battery-operated
equipment. The device features extremely low dropout
voltages, high PSRR, ultralow output noise, low quiescent
current (170 µA typically), and enable-input to reduce
supply currents to less than 1 µA when the regulator is
turned off.
A typical application circuit is shown in Figure 22.

Figure 22. Typical Application Circuit
EXTERNAL CAPACITOR REQUIREMENTS
A 0.1-µF or larger ceramic input bypass capacitor,
connected between IN and GND and located close to the
TPS793xx, is required for stability and will improve
transient response, noise rejection, and ripple rejection. A
higher-value electrolytic input capacitor may be necessary
if large, fast-rise-time load transients are anticipated and
the device is located several inches from the power
source.
Like all low dropout regulators, the TPS793xx requires an
output capacitor connected between OUT and GND to
stabilize the internal control loop. The minimum
recommended cap a c i t a n c e i s 2 . 2 µF. Any 2.2 µF or larger
ceramic capacitor is suitable, provided the capacitance
does not vary significantly over temperature.
The internal voltage reference is a key source of noise in
an LDO regulator. The TPS793xx has a BYPASS pin
which is connected to the voltage reference through a
250-k internal resistor. The 250-k internal resistor, in
conjunction with an external bypass capacitor connected
to the BYPASS pin, creates a low pass filter to reduce the
voltage reference noise and, therefore, the noise at the
regulator output. In order for the regulator to operate
properly, the current flow out of the BYPASS pin must be
at a minimum, because any leakage current will create an
IR drop across the internal resistor thus creating an output
error. Therefore, the bypass capacitor must have minimal
leakage current.
For example, the TPS79328 exhibits only 32 µVRMS of
output voltage noise using a 0.1-µF ceramic bypass
capacitor and a 2.2-µF ceramic output capacitor. Note that
the output starts up slower as the bypass capacitance
increases due to the RC time constant at the BYPASS pin
that is created by the internal 250-k resistor and external
capacitor.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
BOARD LAYOUT RECOMMENDATION TO
IMPROVE PSRR AND NOISE
PERFORMANCE
To improve ac measurements like PSRR, output noise,
and transient response, it is recommended that the board
be designed with separate ground planes for VIN and
VOUT, with each ground plane connected only at the GND
pin of the device. In addition, the ground connection for the
bypass capacitor should connect directly to the GND pin
of the device.
POWER DISSIPATION AND JUNCTION
TEMPERATURE
Specified regulator operation is assured to a junction
temperature of 1 2 5 °C; the maximum junction temperature
should be restricted to 125°C under normal operating
conditions. This restriction limits the power dissipation the
regulator can handle in any given application. To ensure
the junction temperature is within acceptable limits,
calculate the maximum allowable dissipation, PD(max),
and the actual dissipation, PD, which must be less than or
equal to PD(max).
The maximum-power-dissipation limit is determined using
the following equation:
PD(max) +TJmax *TA
RθJA
Where:
TJmax is the maximum allowable junction temperature.
RθJA is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for the package, see the dissipation rating table.
TA is the ambient temperature.
(1)
The regulator dissipation is calculated using:
PD+ǒVI*VOǓ IO(2)
Power dissipation resulting from quiescent current is
negligible. Excessive power dissipation triggers the
thermal protection circuit.
PROGRAMMING THE TPS79301
ADJUSTABLE LDO REGULATOR
The output voltage of the TPS79301 adjustable regulator
is programmed using an external resistor divider as shown
in Figure 23. The output voltage is calculated using:
VO+Vref ǒ1)R1
R2Ǔ(3)
Where:
Vref = 1.2246 V typ (the internal reference voltage)

APPLICATION INFORMATION
PROGRAMMING THE TPS79301
ADJUSTABLE LDO REGULATOR
(CONTINUED)
Resistors R1 and R2 should be chosen for approximately
50-µA divider current. Lower value resistors can be used
for improved noise performance, but the solution
consumes more power. Higher resistor values should be
avoided as leakage current into/out of FB across R1/R2
creates an offset voltage that artificially
increases/decreases the feedback voltage and thus
erroneously decreases/increases VO. The recommended
design procedure is to choose R2 = 30.1 k to set the
divider current at 50 µA, C1 = 15 pF for stability, and then
calculate R1 using:
R1 +ǒVO
Vref *1Ǔ R2 (4)
In order to improve the stability of the adjustable version,
it is suggested that a small compensation capacitor be
placed between OUT and FB. For voltages <1.8 V, the
value o f this capacitor should be 100 pF. For voltages >1.8
V, the approximate value of this capacitor can be
calculated as:
C1 +(3 x 10–7)x(R1)R2)
(R1 x R2) (5)
The suggested value of this capacitor for several resistor
ratios is shown in the table below. If this capacitor is not
used (such as i n a unity-gain configuration) or if an output
voltage <1.8 V is chosen, then the minimum
recommended output capacitor is 4.7 µF instead of 2.2 µF.

REGULATOR PROTECTION
The TPS793xx PMOS-pass transistor has a built-in back
diode that conducts reverse current when the input voltage
drops below the output voltage (e.g., during power down).
Current i s conducted from the output to the input and is not
internally limited. If extended reverse voltage operation is
anticipated, external limiting might be appropriate.
The TPS793xx features internal current limiting and
thermal protection. During normal operation, the
TPS793xx limits output current to approximately 400 m A.
When current limiting engages, the output voltage scales
back linearly until the overcurrent condition ends. While
current limiting is designed to prevent gross device failure,
care should be taken not to exceed the power dissipation
ratings of the package or the absolute maximum voltage
ratings of the device. If the temperature of the device
exceeds approximately 165°C, thermal-protection
circuitry shuts it down. Once the device has cooled down
to below approximately 140°C, regulator operation
resumes.
