DESCRIPTION
The TPS732xx family of low-dropout (LDO) voltage
regulators 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 (low reverse
current) and ground pin current that is nearly constant
over all values of output current.
The TPS732xx 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 (30µV_RMS with 0.1µF C_NR) is ideal for
powering VCOs. These devices are protected by
thermal shutdown and foldback current limit.
