TPS76201DBVT – TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

The TPS76201DBVT is a low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator from Texas Instruments, housed in a tiny 6-pin SOT-23 package. It features a fixed 1.8V output voltage with a ±1% tolerance, ideal for applications requiring a precise and stable low-voltage supply. Operating from an input voltage ranging from 1.9V to 5.5V, it boasts a quiescent current of only 70µA, minimizing power consumption in battery-powered systems. Its output current capability reaches 150mA, sufficient for a wide array of low-power microcontrollers and digital signal processors._x000D_

The device incorporates features like short-circuit protection, thermal overload protection, and input overvoltage protection, enhancing system robustness. Its low output noise (typical 20µVrms) makes it suitable for sensitive analog circuitry. The TPS76201DBVT’s high PSRR (Power Supply Rejection Ratio) effectively mitigates input voltage fluctuations from affecting the regulated output. Common applications include powering microcontrollers in portable devices, supplying voltage to low-power sensors, and providing a clean, stable voltage rail for analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) requiring low noise. Its small form factor and low power consumption make it an excellent choice for space-constrained and battery-sensitive designs where a precise 1.8V supply is crucial.
