TPS7A7200RGWR – TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

The TPS7A7200RGWR is a low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator from Texas Instruments, packaged in a space-saving 6-pin WSON (WCSP) package. It’s specifically designed for applications requiring high efficiency at low quiescent current, making it ideal for battery-powered devices and portable electronics. The device operates with an input voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V and provides a fixed 1.8V output voltage with a maximum output current of 150mA. Its ultra-low quiescent current of typically 15µA minimizes power consumption in standby modes._x000D_

The TPS7A7200RGWR incorporates features such as overcurrent protection, thermal shutdown, and short-circuit protection, ensuring robust operation and preventing damage to the device or connected circuitry. Its high PSRR (Power Supply Rejection Ratio) minimizes noise propagation from the input to the output, crucial for sensitive analog applications. The device’s small footprint and low profile are particularly advantageous in densely populated PCBs. While capable of handling 150mA, designers should consider its thermal characteristics and potentially add a heatsink for sustained high-current loads. Its fixed output voltage simplifies design, eliminating the need for external components for voltage setting, making it a straightforward choice for applications requiring a stable 1.8V supply from a higher input voltage.
