3 Description
The TPS7A7200 low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator
is designed for applications seeking very-low dropout
capability (180 mV at 2 A) with an input voltage from
1.5 V to 6.5 V. The TPS7A7200 offers an innovative,
user-configurable, output-voltage setting from 0.9 V to
3.5 V, thus eliminating external resistors and any
associated error.
The TPS7A7200 has very fast load-transient
response, is stable with ceramic output capacitors,
and supports a better than 2% accuracy over line,
load, and temperature. A soft-start pin allows for an
application to reduce inrush into the load.
Additionally, an open-drain, Power Good signal
allows for sequencing power rails.
The TPS7A7200 is available in 3-mm × 3-mm,
16-pin QFN and 5-mm × 5-mm, 20-pin VQFN
packages.

Output voltage setting pins. These pins must be connected to ground or left floating.
Connecting these pins to ground increases the output voltage by the value of the pin name;
multiple pins can be simultaneously connected to GND to select the desired output voltage.
Leave these pins floating (open) when not in use. See the User-Configurable Output Voltage
section for more details.
EN 14 12 I Enable pin. Driving this pin to logic high enables the device; driving the pin to logic low disables
the device. See the Enable section for more details.
FB 3 2 I Output voltage feedback pin. Connected to the error amplifier. See the User-Configurable
Output Voltage and Traditional Adjustable Configuration sections for more details. TI highly
recommends connecting a 220-pF ceramic capacitor from FB pin to OUT.
GND 8, 18 7 Ground pin.
IN 15, 16,

Input Capacitor Requirements for more details.
NC 12 Not internally connected. The NC pin is not connected to any electrical node. TI strongly
recommends connecting this pin and the thermal pad to a large-area ground plane. See the
Power Dissipation section for more details.
OUT 1, 19, 20 15, 16 O Regulated output pin. A 4.7-μF or larger capacitance is required for stability. See Output
Capacitor Requirements for more details.
PG 4 3 O Active-high power good pin. An open-drain output that indicates when the output voltage
reaches 90% of the target. See Power Good for more details.
SNS 2 1 I Output voltage sense input pin. See the User-Configurable Output Voltage and Traditional
Adjustable Configuration sections for more details.
SS 13 11 Soft-start pin. Leaving this pin open provides soft start of the default setting.
Connecting an external capacitor between this pin and the ground enables the soft-start
function by forming an RC-delay circuit in combination with the integrated resistance on the
silicon. See the Soft-Start section for more details.
Thermal Pad TI strongly recommends connecting the thermal pad to a large-area ground plane. If available,
connect an electrically-floating, dedicated thermal plane to the thermal pad as well.

(1) For more information about traditional and new thermal metrics, see the Semiconductor and IC Package Thermal Metrics application
report, SPRA953.
(2) For thermal estimates of this device based on printed-circuit-board (PCB) copper area, see the TI PCB Thermal Calculator.
(3) Thermal data for the RGW package is derived by thermal simulations based on JEDEC-standard methodology as specified in the
JESD51 series. The following assumptions are used in the simulations:
(a) i. RGW: The exposed pad is connected to the PCB ground layer through a 4 × 4 thermal via array.
ii. RGT: The exposed pad is connected to the PCB ground layer through a 2 × 2 thermal via array.
(b) i. RGW: Both the top and bottom copper layers have a dedicated pattern for 4% copper coverage.
ii .RGT: Both the top and bottom copper layers have a dedicated pattern for 5% copper coverage.
(c) These data were generated with only a single device at the center of a JEDEC high-K (2s2p) board with 3-inch × 3-inch copper area.
To understand the effects of the copper area on thermal performance, see the Power Dissipation and Estimating Junction
Temperature sections.

(2) VOUT(TARGET) is the calculated target VOUT value from the output voltage setting pins: 50mV, 100mV, 200mV, 400mV, 800mV, and 1.6V
in fixed configuration, or the expected VOUT value set by external feedback resistors in adjustable configuration.
(3) This 50-Ωload is disconnected when the test conditions specify an IOUT value.
(4) CFF is the capacitor between FB pin and OUT
(5) R2 is the bottom-side of the feedback resistor between the FB pin and OUT. See Figure 30 for details.
(6) When the TPS7A7200 is connected to external feedback resistors at the FB pin, external resistor tolerances are not included.
(7) The TPS7A7200 is not tested at VOUT = 0.9 V, 2.7 V VIN 6.5 V, and 500 mA IOUT 2 A because the power dissipation is higher
than the maximum rating of the package. Also, this accuracy specification does not apply on any application condition that exceeds the
power dissipation limit of the package.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS7A7200 belongs to a family of new-generation LDO regulators that uses innovative circuitry to offer very
low dropout voltage along with the flexibility of a programmable output voltage.
The dropout voltage for this LDO regulator family is 0.18 V at 2 A. This voltage is ideal for making the
TPS7A7200 into a point-of-load (POL) regulator because 0.18 V at 2 A is lower than any voltage gap among the
most common voltage rails: 1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, and 3.3 V. This device offers a fully user-configurable
output voltage setting method. The TPS7A7200 output voltage can be programmed to any target value from
0.9 V to 3.5 V in 50-mV steps.
Another big advantage of using the TPS7A7200 is the wide range of available operating input voltages: from
1.5 V to 6.5 V. The TPS7A7200 also has very good line and load transient response. All these features allow the
TPS7A7200 to meet most voltage-regulator needs for under 6-V applications, using only one device so less time
is spent on inventory control.
Texas Instruments also offers different output current ratings with other family devices: the TPS7A7100 (1 A) and
TPS7A7300 (3 A).

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 User-Configurable Output Voltage
Unlike traditional LDO devices, the TPS7A7200 comes with only one orderable part number. There is no
adjustable or fixed output voltage option. The output voltage of the TPS7A7200 is selectable in accordance with
the names given to the output voltage setting pins: 50 mV, 100 mV, 200 mV, 400 mV, 800 mV, and 1.6 V. For
each pin connected to the ground, the output voltage setting increases by the value associated with that pin
name, starting from the value of the reference voltage of 0.5 V. Floating the pins has no effect on the output
voltage. Figure 24 through Figure 29 show examples of how to program the output voltages.

7.3.2 Traditional Adjustable Configuration
For any output voltage target that is not supported in the User-Configurable Output Voltage section, a traditional
adjustable configuration with external-feedback resistors can be used with the TPS7A7200. Figure 30 shows how
to configure the TPS7A7200 as an adjustable regulator with an equation and Table 2 lists recommended pairs of
feedback resistor values.
NOTE
The bottom side of feedback resistor R2 in Figure 30 must be in the range of 27 kΩto 33
kΩto maintain the specified regulation accuracy.

7.3.3 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The TPS7A7200 uses an undervoltage lockout circuit to keep the output shut off until the internal circuitry is
operating properly. The UVLO circuit has a deglitch feature that typically ignores undershoot of the input voltage
upon the event of device start-up. Still, a poor input line impedance may cause a severe input voltage drop when
the device powers on. As explained in the Input Capacitor Requirements section, the input line impedance must
be well-designed.
7.3.4 Soft-Start
The TPS7A7200 has an SS pin that provides a soft-start (slow start) function.
By leaving the SS pin open, the TPS7A7200 performs a soft-start by its default setting.
As shown in Functional Block Diagram, by connecting a capacitor between the SS pin and the ground, the CSS
capacitor forms an RC pair together with the integrated 50-kΩresistor. The RC pair operates as an RC-delay
circuit for the soft-start together with the internal 700-µs delay circuit.
The relationship between CSS and the soft-start time is shown in Figure 40 through Figure 42.
7.3.5 Current Limit
The TPS7A7200 internal current limit circuitry protects the regulator during fault conditions. During a current limit
event, the output sources a fixed amount of current that is mostly independent of the output voltage. The current
limit function is provided as a fail-safe mechanism and is not intended to be used regularly. Do not design any
applications to use this current limit function as a part of expected normal operation. Extended periods of current
limit operation degrade device reliability.
Powering on the device with the enable pin, or increasing the input voltage above the minimum operating voltage
while a low-impedance short exists on the output of the device, may result in a sequence of high-current pulses
from the input to the output of the device. The energy consumed by the device is minimal during these events;
therefore, there is no failure risk. Additional input capacitance helps to mitigate the load transient requirement of
the upstream supply during these events.
7.3.6 Enable
The EN pin switches the enable and disable (shutdown) states of the TPS7A7200. A logic high input at the EN
pin enables the device; a logic low input disables the device. When disabled, the device current consumption is
reduced.
7.3.7 Power Good
The TPS7A7200 has a power good function that works with the PG output pin. When the output voltage
undershoots the threshold voltage VIT(PG) during normal operation, the PG open-drain output turns from a high-
impedance state to a low-impedance state. When the output voltage exceeds the VIT(PG) threshold by an amount
greater than the PG hysteresis, Vhys(PG), the PG open-drain output turns from a low-impedance state to high-
impedance state. By connecting a pullup resistor (usually between OUT and PG pins), any downstream device
can receive an active-high enable logic signal.
When setting the output voltage to less than 1.8 V and using a pullup resistor between OUT and PG pins,
depending on the downstream device specifications, the downstream device may not accept the PG output as a
valid high-level logic voltage. In such cases, place a pullup resistor between IN and PG pins, not between OUT
and PG pins.
Figure 18 shows the open-drain output drive capability. The on-resistance of the open-drain transistor is
calculated using Figure 18, and is approximately 200 Ω. Any pullup resistor greater than 10 kΩworks fine for this
purpose.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Normal Operation
The device regulates to the nominal output voltage under the following conditions:
The input voltage is at least as high as VIN(MIN).
The input voltage is greater than the nominal output voltage added to the dropout voltage.
The enable voltage has previously exceeded the enable rising threshold voltage and has not decreased
below the enable falling threshold.
The output current is less than the current limit.
The device junction temperature is less than the maximum specified junction temperature.
7.4.2 Dropout Operation
If the input voltage is lower than the nominal output voltage plus the specified dropout voltage, but all other
conditions are met for normal operation, the device operates in dropout mode. In this mode of operation, the
output voltage is the same as the input voltage minus the dropout voltage. The transient performance of the
device is significantly degraded because the pass device (such as a bipolar junction transistor, or BJT) is in
saturation and no longer controls the current through the LDO. Line or load transients in dropout can result in
large output voltage deviations.
7.4.3 Disabled
The device is disabled under the following conditions:
The enable voltage is less than the enable falling threshold voltage or has not yet exceeded the enable rising
threshold.
The device junction temperature is greater than the thermal shutdown temperature.
Table 3 lists the conditions that lead to the different modes of operation.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 ANY-OUT Programmable Output Voltage
For ANY-OUT operation, the TPS7A7001 does not use any external resistors to set the output voltage, but uses
device pins labeled 50 mV, 100 mV, 200 mV, 400 mV, 800 mV, and 1.6 V to set the regulated output voltage.
Each pin is either connected to ground (active) or is left open (floating). The ANY-OUT programming is set as the
sum of the internal reference voltage (V(SS) = 0.5 V) plus the sum of the respective voltages assigned to each
active pin. By leaving all ANY-OUT pins open, or floating, the output is set to the minimum possible output
voltage equal to V(SS). By grounding all of the ANY-OUT pins, the output is set to 3.65 V.
When using the ANY-OUT pins, the SNS pin must always be connected between the OUT and FB pins.
However, the feedforward capacitor must be connected to the FB pin, not the SNS pin.
8.2.2.2 Traditional Adjustable Output Voltage
For applications that need the regulated output voltage to be greater than 3.65 V (or those that require more
resolution than the 50 mV that the ANY-OUT pins provide), the can also be use the traditional adjustable method
of setting the regulated output.
When using the traditional method of setting the output, the FB pin must be connected to the node connecting
the top and bottom resistors of the resistor divider. The SNS pin must be left floating.
8.2.2.3 Input Capacitor Requirements
As a result of its very fast transient response and low-dropout operation support, it is necessary to reduce the
line impedance at the input pin of the TPS7A7200. The line impedance depends heavily on various factors, such
as wire (PCB trace) resistance, wire inductance, and output impedance of the upstream voltage supply (power
supply to the TPS7A7200). Therefore, a specific value for the input capacitance cannot be recommended until
the previously listed factors are finalized.
In addition, simple usage of large input capacitance can form an unwanted LC resonance in combination with
input wire inductance. For example, a 5-nH inductor and a 10-µF input capacitor form an LC filter that has a
resonance at 712 kHz. This value of 712 kHz is well inside the bandwidth of the TPS7A7200 control loop.
The best guideline is to use a capacitor of up to 1 µF with well-designed wire connections (PCB layout) to the
upstream supply. If it is difficult to optimize the input line, use a large tantalum capacitor in combination with a
good-quality, low-ESR, 1-µF ceramic capacitor.
8.2.2.4 Output Capacitor Requirements
The TPS7A7200 is designed to be stable with standard ceramic capacitors with capacitance values from 4.7 μF
to 47 μF without a feedforward capacitor. For output capacitors from 47 µF to 200 µF a feedforward capacitor of
at least 220 pF must be used. The TPS7A7200 is evaluated using an X5R-type, 10-μF ceramic capacitor. TI
highly recommends the X5R- and X7R-type capacitors because they have minimal variation in value and ESR
over temperature. Maximum ESR must be less than 1 .
As with any regulator, increasing the size of the output capacitor reduces overshoot and undershoot magnitude,
but increases duration of the transient response.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
This device is designed for operation from an input voltage supply ranging from 1.425 V to 6.5 V. This input
supply must be well regulated. The family of fast-transient, low-dropout linear regulators achieve stability with a
minimum output capacitance of 4.7 μF; however, TI recommends using 10-μF ceramic capacitors for both the
input and output to maximize AC performance.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
To improve AC performance such as PSRR, output noise, and transient response, TI recommends designing
the board with separate ground planes for IN and OUT, with each ground plane connected only at the GND
pin of the device.
In addition, the ground connection for the output capacitor must connect directly to the GND pin of the device.
Equivalent series inductance (ESL) and ESR must be minimized to maximize performance and ensure
stability.
Every capacitor must be placed as close as possible to the device and on the same side of the PCB as the
regulator itself.
Do not place any of the capacitors on the opposite side of the PCB from where the regulator is installed.
The use of vias and long traces is strongly discouraged because they may impact system performance
negatively and even cause instability.
If possible, and to ensure the maximum performance denoted in this product data sheet, use the same layout
pattern used for the evaluation board, SLAU430.

10.3 Thermal Considerations
The thermal protection feature disables the output when the junction temperature rises to approximately 160°C,
allowing the device to cool. When the junction temperature cools to approximately 140°C, the output circuitry is
enabled. Depending on power dissipation, thermal resistance, and ambient temperature, the thermal-protection
circuit may cycle on and off. This thermal limit protects the device from damage as a result of overheating.
Any tendency to activate the thermal protection circuit indicates excessive power dissipation or an inadequate
heatsink. For reliable operation, junction temperature must be limited to 125°C maximum. To estimate the margin
of safety in a complete design (including heatsink), increase the ambient temperature until the thermal protection
is triggered; use worst-case loads and signal conditions. For good reliability, thermal protection must trigger at
least 35°C above the maximum expected ambient condition of your particular application. This configuration
produces a worst-case junction temperature of 125°C at the highest-expected ambient temperature and worst-
case load.
The internal-protection circuitry of the TPS7A7200 has been designed to protect against overload conditions. It
was not intended to replace proper heatsinking. Continuously running the TPS7A7200 into thermal shutdown
degrades device reliability.
10.4 Power Dissipation
Knowing the device power dissipation and proper sizing of the thermal plane that is connected to the tab or pad
is critical to avoiding thermal shutdown and ensuring reliable operation.
Power dissipation of the device depends on input voltage and load conditions and can be calculated using
Equation 1:
(1)
Power dissipation can be minimized and greater efficiency can be achieved by using the lowest possible input
voltage necessary to achieve the required output voltage regulation.
On the VQFN (RGW or RGT) package, the primary conduction path for heat is through the exposed pad to the
PCB. The pad can be connected to ground or be left floating; however, it must be attached to an appropriate
amount of copper PCB area to ensure the device does not overheat. The maximum junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance depends on the maximum ambient temperature, maximum device junction temperature, and power
dissipation of the device and can be calculated using Equation 2:
(2)
Knowing the maximum RθJA, the minimum amount of PCB copper area needed for appropriate heatsinking can
be estimated using Figure 44.

Power Dissipation (continued)
shows the variation of θJA as a function of ground plane copper area in the board. It is intended only as a
guideline to demonstrate the effects of heat spreading in the ground plane and must not be used to estimate
actual thermal performance in real application environments.
NOTE
When the device is mounted on an application PCB, TI strongly recommends using ΨJT
and ΨJB, as explained in the Estimating Junction Temperature section.
10.5 Estimating Junction Temperature
Using the thermal metrics ΨJT and ΨJB, as shown in the Thermal Information table, the junction temperature can
be estimated with corresponding formulas (given in Equation 3). For backwards compatibility, an older θJC,Top
parameter is listed as well.
Where:
PDis the power dissipation shown by Equation 2.
TTis the temperature at the center-top of the IC package.
TBis the PCB temperature measured 1 mm away from the IC package on the PCB surface (see
Figure 45). (3)
NOTE
Both TTand TBcan be measured on actual application boards using a thermo-gun (an
infrared thermometer).
For more information about measuring TTand TB, see the Application Report SBVA025,Using New Thermal
Metrics.

Estimating Junction Temperature (continued)
By looking at Figure 46, the new thermal metrics (ΨJT and ΨJB) have very little dependency on board size. That
is, using ΨJT or ΨJB with Equation 3 is a good way to estimate TJby simply measuring TTor TB, regardless of the
application board size.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) reserves the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other changes to its
semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest issue. Buyers
should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete.
TI’s published terms of sale for semiconductor products (http://www.ti.com/sc/docs/stdterms.htm) apply to the sale of packaged integrated
circuit products that TI has qualified and released to market. Additional terms may apply to the use or sale of other types of TI products and
services.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is
accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such reproduced
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI products or services with statements
different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the
associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyers and others who are developing systems that incorporate TI products (collectively, “Designers”) understand and agree that Designers
remain responsible for using their independent analysis, evaluation and judgment in designing their applications and that Designers have
full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety of Designers' applications and compliance of their applications (and of all TI products
used in or for Designers’ applications) with all applicable regulations, laws and other applicable requirements. Designer represents that, with
respect to their applications, Designer has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards that (1) anticipate dangerous
consequences of failures, (2) monitor failures and their consequences, and (3) lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and
take appropriate actions. Designer agrees that prior to using or distributing any applications that include TI products, Designer will
thoroughly test such applications and the functionality of such TI products as used in such applications.
TI’s provision of technical, application or other design advice, quality characterization, reliability data or other services or information,
including, but not limited to, reference designs and materials relating to evaluation modules, (collectively, “TI Resources”) are intended to
assist designers who are developing applications that incorporate TI products; by downloading, accessing or using TI Resources in any
way, Designer (individually or, if Designer is acting on behalf of a company, Designer’s company) agrees to use any particular TI Resource
solely for this purpose and subject to the terms of this Notice.
TI’s provision of TI Resources does not expand or otherwise alter TI’s applicable published warranties or warranty disclaimers for TI
products, and no additional obligations or liabilities arise from TI providing such TI Resources. TI reserves the right to make corrections,
enhancements, improvements and other changes to its TI Resources. TI has not conducted any testing other than that specifically
described in the published documentation for a particular TI Resource.
Designer is authorized to use, copy and modify any individual TI Resource only in connection with the development of applications that
include the TI product(s) identified in such TI Resource. NO OTHER LICENSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISE
TO ANY OTHER TI INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, AND NO LICENSE TO ANY TECHNOLOGY OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
RIGHT OF TI OR ANY THIRD PARTY IS GRANTED HEREIN, including but not limited to any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
regarding or referencing third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services, or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of TI Resources may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
TI RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. TI DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR
REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS, TITLE, ANY EPIDEMIC FAILURE WARRANTY AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS. TI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR AND SHALL NOT DEFEND OR INDEMNIFY DESIGNER AGAINST ANY CLAIM,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR IS BASED ON ANY COMBINATION OF
PRODUCTS EVEN IF DESCRIBED IN TI RESOURCES OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL TI BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTUAL,
DIRECT, SPECIAL, COLLATERAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES IN
CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF TI RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER TI HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Unless TI has explicitly designated an individual product as meeting the requirements of a particular industry standard (e.g., ISO/TS 16949
and ISO 26262), TI is not responsible for any failure to meet such industry standard requirements.
Where TI specifically promotes products as facilitating functional safety or as compliant with industry functional safety standards, such
products are intended to help enable customers to design and create their own applications that meet applicable functional safety standards
and requirements. Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers must
ensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products in
life-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.
Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., life
support, pacemakers, defibrillators, heart pumps, neurostimulators, and implantables). Such equipment includes, without limitation, all
medical devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices and equivalent classifications outside the U.S.
TI may expressly designate certain products as completing a particular qualification (e.g., Q100, Military Grade, or Enhanced Product).
Designers agree that it has the necessary expertise to select the product with the appropriate qualification designation for their applications
and that proper product selection is at Designers’ own risk. Designers are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory
requirements in connection with such selection.
Designer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities arising out of Designer’s non-
compliance with the terms and provisions of this Notice.
