PIN I/O DESCRIPTION
NAME RGW
50mV,
100mV, Output voltage setting pins. These pins must be connected to ground or left floating. Connecting these
200mV, 5, 6, 7, pins to ground increases the output voltage by the value of the pin name; multiple pins can be
I
400mV, 9, 10, 11 simultaneously connected to GND to select the desired output voltage. Leave these pins floating
800mV, (open) when not in use. See the User-Configurable Output Voltage section for more details.
1.6V Enable pin. Driving this pin to logic high enables the device; driving the pin to logic low disables the
EN 14 I device. See the Enable section for more details.
Output voltage feedback pin. Connected to the error amplifier. See the User-Configurable Output
FB 3 I 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 — Ground pin.
Unregulated supply voltage pin. TI recommends connecting an input capacitor to this pin. See Input
IN 15, 16, 17 I Capacitor Requirements for more details.
Not internally connected. The NC pin is not connected to any electrical node. TI strongly recommends
NC 12 — connecting this pin and the thermal pad to a large-area ground plane. See the Power Dissipation
section for more details.
Regulated output pin. A 4.7-μF or larger capacitance is required for stability. See Output Capacitor
OUT 1, 19, 20 O Requirements for more details.
Active-high power good pin. An open-drain output that indicates when the output voltage reaches 90%
PG 4 O of the target. See Power Good for more details.
Output voltage sense input pin. See the User-Configurable Output Voltage and Traditional Adjustable
SNS 2 I Configuration sections for more details.
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
SS 13 — forming an RC-delay circuit in combination with the integrated resistance on the silicon. See the Soft-
Start section for more details.
TI strongly recommends connecting the thermal pad to a large-area ground plane. If available, connect
Thermal Pad — an electrically-floating, dedicated thermal plane to the thermal pad as well.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS7A7300 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 0.24 V at 3 A. This voltage is ideal for making the
TPS7A7300 into a point-of-load (POL) regulator because 0.24 V at 3 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 TPS7A7300 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 TPS7A7300 is the wide range of available operating input voltages: from
1.5 V to 6.5 V. The TPS7A7300 also has very good line and load transient response. All these features allow the
TPS7A7300 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
TPS7A7200 (2 A).

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 User-Configurable Output Voltage
Unlike traditional LDO devices, the TPS7A7300 comes with only one orderable part number. There is no
adjustable or fixed output voltage option. The output voltage of the TPS7A7300 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.

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 TPS7A7300. Figure 30 shows how
to configure the TPS7A7300 as an adjustable regulator with an equation and Table 2 lists recommended pairs of

7.3.3 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The TPS7A7300 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 TPS7A7300 has an SS pin that provides a soft-start (slow start) function.
By leaving the SS pin open, the TPS7A7300 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 TPS7A7300 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 TPS7A7300. 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 TPS7A7300 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 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The TPS7A7300 is a very-low dropout LDO with very fast load transient response. The TPS7A7300 provides a
number of features such as a power good signal for output monitoring, a soft-start pin to reduce inrush currents
during start-up, and it is suitable for applications that require up to 3 A of output current.

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 TPS7A7300 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 TPS7A7300. 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 TPS7A7300). 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 TPS7A7300 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 TPS7A7300 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 TPS7A7300 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 Ω.
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 TPS7A7300 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 TPS7A7300 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 TPS7A7300 has been designed to protect against overload conditions. It
was not intended to replace proper heatsinking. Continuously running the TPS7A7300 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) 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.
NOTE: θJA value at a board size of 9-in2(that is, 3-in × 3-in) is a JEDEC standard.

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).

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.

(1) The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.
(2) Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)
(3) MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.
(6) Lead/Ball Finish - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead/Ball Finish values may wrap to two lines if the finish
value exceeds the maximum column width.
