SLVS211I JUNE 1999 REVISED JANUARY 2004
Because the PMOS device behaves as a low-value resistor, the dropout voltage is very low (typically 230 mV atan output current of 1 A for the TPS76850) and is directly proportional to the output current. Additionally, sincethe PMOS pass element is a voltage-driven device, the quiescent current is very low and independent of outputloading (typically 85 µA over the full range of output current, 0 mA to 1 A). These two key specifications yield asignificant improvement in operating life for battery-powered systems. This LDO family also features a sleepmode; applying a TTL high signal to EN (enable) shuts down the regulator, reducing the quiescent current to lessthan 1 µA at T
J
= 25°C.
Power good (PG) is an active high output, which can be used to implement a power-on reset or a low-batteryindicator.
The TPS768xx is offered in 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, 2.7-V, 2.8-V, 3.0-V, 3.3-V, and 5.0-V fixed-voltage versions andin an adjustable version (programmable over the range of 1.2 V to 5.5 V). Output voltage tolerance is specifiedas a maximum of 2% over line, load, and temperature ranges. The TPS768xx family is available in 8-pin SOICand 20-pin PWP packages.

The TPS768xx family includes eight fixed-output voltage regulators (1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 2.7 V, 2.8 V, 3.0 V, 3.3V, and 5.0 V), and offers an adjustable device, the TPS76801 (adjustable from 1.2 V to 5.5 V).
The TPS768xx features very low quiescent current, which remains virtually constant even with varying loads.Conventional LDO regulators use a pnp pass element, the base current of which is directly proportional to theload current through the regulator (I
B
= I
C
/β). The TPS768xx uses a PMOS transistor to pass current; becausethe gate of the PMOS is voltage driven, operating current is low and invariable over the full load range.
Another pitfall associated with the pnp-pass element is its tendency to saturate when the device goes intodropout. The resulting drop in βforces an increase in I
B
to maintain the load. During power up, this translates tolarge start-up currents. Systems with limited supply current may fail to start up. In battery-powered systems, itmeans rapid battery discharge when the voltage decays below the minimum required for regulation. TheTPS768xx quiescent current remains low even when the regulator drops out, eliminating both problems.
The TPS768xx family also features a shutdown mode that places the output in the high-impedance state(essentially equal to the feedback-divider resistance) and reduces quiescent current to 2 µA. If the shutdownfeature is not used, EN should be tied to ground.
The TPS768xx family is stable even at zero load; no minimum load is required for operation.
The FB pin is an input pin to sense the output voltage and close the loop for the adjustable option. The outputvoltage is sensed through a resistor divider network to close the loop as shown in Figure 27 . Normally, thisconnection should be as short as possible; however, the connection can be made near a critical circuit toimprove performance at that point. Internally, FB connects to a high-impedance wide-bandwidth amplifier andnoise pickup feeds through to the regulator output. Routing the FB connection to minimize/avoid noise pickup isessential.
An input capacitor is not usually required; however, a ceramic bypass capacitor (0.047 µF or larger) improvesload transient response and noise rejection if the TPS768xx is located more than a few inches from the powersupply. A higher-capacitance electrolytic capacitor may be necessary if large (hundreds of milliamps) loadtransients with fast rise times are anticipated.
Like all low dropout regulators, the TPS768xx requires an output capacitor connected between OUT and GND tostabilize the internal control loop. The minimum recommended capacitance value is 10 µF and the ESR(equivalent series resistance) must be between 60 mand 1.5 . Capacitor values 10 µF or larger areacceptable, provided the ESR is less than 1.5. Solid tantalum electrolytic, aluminum electrolytic, and multilayerceramic capacitors are all suitable, provided they meet the requirements described above. Most of thecommercially available 10 µF surface-mount ceramic capacitors, including devices from Sprague and Kemet,meet the ESR requirements stated above.

Figure 26. Typical Application Circuit (Fixed Versions)
The output voltage of the TPS76801 adjustable regulator is programmed using an external resistor divider asshown in Figure 27 . The output voltage is calculated using:
Resistors R1 and R2 should be chosen for approximately 50-µA divider current. Lower value resistors can beused but offer no inherent advantage and waste more power. Higher values should be avoided as leakagecurrents at FB increase the output voltage error. The recommended design procedure is to choose R2 = 30.1 kto set the divider current at 50 µA and then calculate R1 using:
Figure 27. TPS76801 Adjustable LDO Regulator Programming
The TPS768xx features a power-good (PG) output that can be used to monitor the status of the regulator. Theinternal comparator monitors the output voltage: when the output drops to between 92% and 98% of its nominalregulated value, the PG output transistor turns on, taking the signal low. The open-drain output requires a pullupresistor. If not used, it can be left floating. PG can be used to drive power-on reset circuitry or used as alow-battery indicator. PG does not assert itself when the regulated output voltage falls out of the specified 2%tolerance, but instead reports an output voltage low, relative to its nominal regulated value.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
The TPS768xx PMOS-pass transistor has a built-in back diode that conducts reverse currents when the inputvoltage drops below the output voltage (e.g., during power down). Current is conducted from the output to theinput and is not internally limited. When extended reverse voltage is anticipated, external limiting may beappropriate.
The TPS768xx also features internal current limiting and thermal protection. During normal operation, theTPS768xx limits output current to approximately 1.7 A. When current limiting engages, the output voltage scalesback linearly until the overcurrent condition ends. While current limiting is designed to prevent gross devicefailure, care should be taken not to exceed the power dissipation ratings of the package. If the temperature of thedevice exceeds 150°C (typ), thermal-protection circuitry shuts it down. Once the device has cooled below 130°C(typ), regulator operation resumes.
Specified regulator operation is assured to a junction temperature of 125°C; the maximum junction temperatureshould be restricted to 125°C under normal operating conditions. This restriction limits the power dissipation theregulator can handle in any given application. To ensure the junction temperature is within acceptable limits,calculate the maximum allowable dissipation, P
D(max)
, and the actual dissipation, P
D
, which must be less than orequal to P
D(max)
.
The maximum-power-dissipation limit is determined using the following equation:
The regulator dissipation is calculated using:
Power dissipation resulting from quiescent current is negligible. Excessive power dissipation will trigger thethermal protection circuit.
