TPS73201DRBEVM-518

EVAL BOARD, LOW DROPOUT LINEAR REGULATOR.

The TPS73201DRBEVM-518 evaluation module is a fully assembled and tested circuit for evaluating the TPS732xx family of low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator in the DRB (3x3mm SON) package. The TPS732xx family of low dropout (LDO) voltage regulators uses a new topology an NMOS pass element in a voltage follower configuration. This topology is stable using output capacitors with low ESR, and even allows operation without a capacitor. It also provides high reverse blockage (low reverse current) and ground pin current that is nearly constant over all values of output current. The TPS732xx uses an advanced BiCMOS process to yield high precision while delivering very low dropout voltages and low ground pin current. Current consumption, when not enabled, is under 1µA and ideal for portable applications. The extremely low output noise (30µVRMS with 0.1µF CNR) is ideal for powering VCOs. These devices are protected by thermal shutdown and foldback current limit.
