The TPS73601DBVTG4 is a Cap-free Low Dropout Linear Regulator with reverse current protection. This regulator 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 TPS73601 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 (30µVRMS with 0.1µF CNR) is ideal for powering VCOs. This device is protected by thermal shutdown and foldback current limit.
● Stable with no output capacitor or any value or type of capacitor
● Ultralow dropout voltage (75mV typical)
● Excellent load transient response with or without optional output capacitor
● New NMOS topology provides low reverse leakage current
● Low noise (30µVRMS typical, 10 to 100kHz)
● 0.5% Initial accuracy
● 1% Overall accuracy over line, load and temperature
● <1µA Maximum IQ in shutdown mode
● Thermal shutdown and specified min/max current limit protection
● Green product and no Sb/Br
●This device has limited built-in ESD protection, leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.
