DESCRIPTION
The TPS736xx-Q1 family of low-dropout (LDO) linear
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.
The topology also provides high reverse blockage
(low reverse current) and ground pin current that is
nearly constant over all values of output current.
The TPS736xx-Q1 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 1
μA and ideal for portable applications. The extremely
low output noise (30 μVRMS with 0.1 μF CNR) is ideal
for powering VCOs. These devices are protected by
thermal shutdown and foldback current limit.
