3 Description
The TPS786 family of low-dropout (LDO) low-power
linear voltage regulators features high power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR), ultralow noise, fast start-up,
and excellent line and load transient responses in
small outline, SOT223-6 and DDPAK-5 packages.
Each device in the family is stable, with a small 1-μF
ceramic capacitor on the output. The family uses an advanced, proprietary BiCMOS fabrication process to
yield extremely low dropout voltages (for example,
390 mV at 1.5 A). Each device achieves fast start-up
times (approximately 50 μs with a 0.001-μF bypass
capacitor) while consuming very low quiescent current (265 μA, typical). Moreover, when the device
is placed in standby mode, the supply current is
reduced to less than 1 μA. The TPS78630 exhibits
approximately 48 μVRMS of output voltage at 3-V
output noise with a 0.1-μF bypass capacitor.
Applications with analog components that are noise sensitive, such as portable RF electronics, benefit
from the high PSRR, low noise features, and the fast
response time.
