TPS73601DBVT

The TPS73601DBVT is a low-dropout (LDO) Linear Voltage Regulator uses a new topology an NMOS pass element in a voltage-follower configuration. This topology is stable using output capacitors with low ESR and even allows operation without a capacitor. It also provides high reverse blockage and ground pin current that is nearly constant over all values of output current. It uses an advanced BiCMOS process to yield high precision while delivering very low dropout voltages and low ground pin current. Current consumption, when not enabled, is under 1µA and ideal for portable applications. The extremely low output noise is ideal for powering VCOs. This linear regulator utilizes an NMOS pass element with an integrated 4MHz charge pump to provide a dropout voltage of less than 200mV at full load current. This unique architecture also permits stable regulation over a wide range of output capacitors. In fact, the device does not require any output capacitor for stability.

• Stable with no output capacitor or any value or type of capacitor
• Excellent load transient response with or without optional output capacitor
• Thermal shutdown and specified minimum/maximum current limit protection
• 1% Overall accuracy over line, load and temperature
• Less than 1µA maximum IQ in shutdown mode
• Green product and no Sb/Br
