1 Introduction
The TI TPS7A4700-094 Evaluation Module is designed to help engineers evaluate the operation and
performance of the TPS7A4700 linear regulator for possible use in their own circuit application. Notable
features of this LDO regulator include thermal and current limit shutdown protection, pin selectable output
voltage, low dropout, and low noise (~3.5 µV/√Hz). The EVM contains a single linear regulator in a 5 mm
× 5 mm, QFN (RGW), thermally enhanced ( PowerPad™) package. This regulator, including external
components, is capable of delivering up to 1.0 A to a dynamic load across the full recommended input and
output voltage range of the LDO. A multi-pin header with jumpers is provided to enable easy manual
selection of the output voltage.
