DESCRIPTION
The TPS742xx low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators
provide an easy-to-use robust power management
solution for a wide variety of applications.
User-programmable soft-start minimizes stress on the
input power source by reducing capacitive inrush
current on start-up. The soft-start is monotonic and
well suited for powering many different types of
processors and ASICs. The enable input and
power-good output allow easy sequencing with
external regulators. This complete flexibility permits
the user to configure a solution that will meet the
sequencing requirements of FPGAs, DSPs, and other
applications with special start-up requirements.
A precision reference and error amplifier deliver 1%
accuracy over load, line, temperature, and process.
Each LDO is stable with low-cost ceramic output
capacitors and the family is fully specified from –40°C
to +125°C. The TPS742xx is offered in a small (5mm
× 5mm) QFN package, yielding a highly compact total
solution size. For applications that require additional
power dissipation, the DDPAK (KTW) package is also
available.
