DESCRIPTION

The TPS758xx family of 3A low dropout (LDO)

regulators contains four fixed voltage option

regulators and an adjustable voltage option

regulator. These devices are capable of supplying 3A

of output current with a dropout of 150mV

(TPS75833). Therefore, the device is capable of

performing a 3.3V to 2.5V conversion.

Quiescent current is 125mA at full load and drops to

less than 1mA when the device is disabled. The

TPS758xx is designed to have fast transient

response for large load current changes.

Because the PMOS device behaves as a low-value

resistor, the dropout voltage is very low (typically

150mV at an output current of 3A for the TPS75833)

and is directly proportional to the output current.

Additionally, since the PMOS pass element is a

voltage-driven device, the quiescent current is very

low and independent of output loading (typically

125mA over the full range of output current). These

two key specifications yield a significant

improvement in operating life for battery-powered

systems.

The device is enabled when EN (enable) is

connected to a high voltage level (> 2V). Applying a

low voltage level (< 0.7V) to EN shuts down the

regulator, reducing the quiescent current to less than

1mA at TJ = +25°C.

The TPS758xx is offered in 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and

3.3V fixed-voltage versions and in an adjustable

version (programmable over the range of 1.22V to

5V). Output voltage tolerance is specified as a

maximum of 3% over line, load, and temperature

ranges. The TPS758xx family is available in a 5-pin

TO-220 (KC) and TO-263 (KTT) packages.
