DESCRIPTION
The TPS74801-Q1 low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator
provides 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 meets the sequencing
requirements of FPGAs, DSPs, and other
applications with special start-up requirements.
A precision reference and error amplifier deliver 2%
accuracy over load, line, temperature, and process.
The device is stable with any type of capacitor
greater than or equal to 2.2 μF, and is fully specified
from –40°C to 105°C for the DRC package, and from
–40°C to 125°C for the RGW package. The
TPS74801-Q1 is offered in a small 3-mm × 3-mm
SON-10 package, yielding a highly compact, total
solution size. It is also available in a 5 x 5 QFN-20 for
compatibility with the TPS74401.
