TLV76033DBZT – TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

The TLV76033DBZT is a low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator from Texas Instruments, packaged in a space-saving 6-pin SOT-23 package. It’s specifically designed for applications requiring ultra-low quiescent current and high efficiency at light loads. Operating from an input voltage (V_IN) ranging from 1.8V to 5.5V, it provides a fixed 3.3V output (V_OUT) with a maximum output current of 150mA. Its ultra-low quiescent current of typically 2.5µA minimizes power consumption in battery-powered systems._x000D_

Key features include a low dropout voltage (typically 250mV at 100mA), enabling efficient operation even with minimal input-output voltage differentials. The device incorporates short-circuit protection and thermal overload protection, enhancing its robustness. Its low output noise (typically 30µVrms) makes it suitable for noise-sensitive applications._x000D_

The TLV76033DBZT excels in portable devices, always-on systems, and applications where minimizing power dissipation and maximizing battery life are paramount. Its small footprint and ease of use make it ideal for space-constrained designs. The fixed 3.3V output simplifies design, eliminating the need for external components often associated with adjustable regulators. Engineers should consider this part when ultra-low power consumption and a stable 3.3V supply are critical design requirements.
