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. This 50- load is disconnected when the test conditions specify an IOUT value. R2 is the bottom-side of the feedback resistor between the FB pin and GND. See Figure 30 for details. When the TPS7A7300 is connected to external feedback resistors at the FB pin, external resistor tolerances are not included. The TPS7A7300 is not tested at VOUT = 0.9 V, 2.7 V VIN 6.5 V, and 500 mA IOUT 3 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. V(DO) is not defined for output voltage settings less than 1.2 V.

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). 7.2 Functional Block Diagram Current Limit IN Charge Pump SS CSS UVLO 0.5-V Reference OUT Thermal Protection PG 700-s Delay 1.2-V Reference 70 k Optional 0.45 V 50 k 50 k SNS 3.2R FB Hysteresis EN 32R GND 50mV 16R 8R 4R 2R 100mV 200mV 400mV 800mV 1R 1.6V NOTE: 32R = 1.024 M (that is, 1R = 32 k). 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2012-2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: TPS7A7300 TPS7A7300 www.ti.com SBVS190E - MARCH 2012 - REVISED DECEMBER 2015 7.3 Feature Description 7.3.1 User-Configurable Output Voltage IN IN GND OUT OUT 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.

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-k resistor. The RC pair operates as an RC-delay circuit for the soft-start together with the internal 700-s 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 highimpedance 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 highimpedance 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 . Any pullup resistor greater than 10 k works fine for this purpose.

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. Table 3.

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 Typical Application 1.5 V IN PG CIN TPS7A7300 EN SS CSS OUT SNS CFF 1.2 V = 0.5 Vref + 100 mV COUT + 200 mV + 400 mV FB Optional GND 50mV 100mV 1.6V 200mV 400mV 800mV Figure 31. 1.2-V Output Using ANY-OUT Pins 8.2.1 Design Requirements Table 4 lists the design parameters for this example.

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-F 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 F 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-F 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 F to 47 F without a feedforward capacitor. For output capacitors from 47 F to 200 F a feedforward capacitor of at least 220 pF must be used. The TPS7A7300 is evaluated using an X5R-type, 10-F 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. 22 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2012-2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: TPS7A7300 TPS7A7300 www.ti.com SBVS190E - MARCH 2012 - REVISED DECEMBER 2015 8.2.3 Application Curves 1.2 6 4 Output Voltage 1.1 2 8 Output Current Slew Rate: 1A/s VOUT(TARGET)=3.3V 400mV, 800mV, 1.6V pins to GND 50mV, 100mV, 200mV pins open 3.4 3.3 4 Output Voltage 3.2 2 Output Current Output Current 1 0 3.1 Time (100s/div) Time (100s/div) Voltage (V) VIN 4 Voltage (V) IOUT=1A, VOUT(TARGET)=3.3V 400mV, 800mV, 1.6V pins to GND 50mV, 100mV, 200mV pins open 3.8 3.6 VOUT 3.4 3.2 Time (20 s/div) 7 6.5 6 5.5 5 4.5 4 3.5 3 2.5 2 1.5 1 0.5 0 G301 5 4.5 VIN 4 4 VIN 3.5 Voltage (V) 3.5 Voltage (V) VOUT Figure 35.

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 F; however, TI recommends using 10-F 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. 10.2 Layout Example 100 mV 200 mV GND 400 mV 800 mV Ground 1.6 V 50 mV NC PG CSS Thermal Pad EN CIN FB R1 OUT OUT OUT IN GND SNS IN SS IN R2 Input Output COUT Notes: Cin and Cout are 0805 packages CSS, R1, and R2 are 0402 packages R1 and R2 only needed for adjustable operation Denotes a via to a connection made on another layer Figure 43.

When the junction temperature cools to approximately 140C, 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 125C 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 35C above the maximum expected ambient condition of your particular application. This configuration produces a worst-case junction temperature of 125C at the highest-expected ambient temperature and worstcase 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: PD VIN VOUT u IOUT (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: RqJA = +125C - TA PD (2) Knowing the maximum RJA, the minimum amount of PCB copper area needed for appropriate heatsinking can be estimated using Figure 44. 120 100 qJA (C/W) 80 60 qJA (RGW) 40 20 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 7 6 8 9 10 2 Board Copper Area (in ) NOTE: JA value at a board size of 9-in2 (that is, 3-in x 3-in) is a JEDEC standard.

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 JT and JB, as explained in the Estimating Junction Temperature section. 10.5 Estimating Junction Temperature Using the thermal metrics JT and JB, 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 JC,Top parameter is listed as well. YJT: TJ = TT + YJT * PD YJB: TJ = TB + YJB * PD Where: PD is the power dissipation shown by Equation 2. TT is the temperature at the center-top of the IC package. TB is the PCB temperature measured 1 mm away from the IC package on the PCB surface (see Figure 45). (3) NOTE Both TT and TB can be measured on actual application boards using a thermo-gun (an infrared thermometer). For more information about measuring TT and TB, see the Application Report SBVA025, Using New Thermal Metrics. TT on top of IC TB on PCB 1mm (a) Example RGW (QFN) Package Measurement Figure 45.

That is, using JT or JB with Equation 3 is a good way to estimate TJ by simply measuring TT or TB, regardless of the application board size. 12 YJT and YJB (C/W) 10 YJB (RGW) 8 6 4 2 YJT (RGW) 0 0 2 4 6 8 10 2 Board Copper Area (in ) Figure 46.
