Texas Instruments TPS7A02 Low-Dropout (LDO) Linear Regulator

Texas Instruments TPS7A02 Low-Dropout (LDO) Linear Regulator is an ultra-small, ultra-low quiescent current LDO regulator that can source 200mA with excellent transient performance. The TPS7A02, with an ultra-low IQ of 25nA, is designed specifically for applications where a very low quiescent current is a critical parameter. This device maintains low IQ consumption even in dropout mode to further increase battery life. When in shutdown or disabled mode, the device consumes ultra-low, 3nA IQ that helps increase the battery's shelf life. The TPS7A02 has an output range of 0.8V to 5.0V and is available in 50mV steps to support the lower core voltages of modern microcontrollers (MCUs).

The Texas Instruments TPS7A02 features a smart enable circuit with an internally controlled pulldown resistor that keeps the LDO disabled even when the EN pin is left floating. This circuit helps minimize the external components used to pull down the EN pin and the current drawn through the external pulldown circuit when the device is enabled. The TPS7A02 is fully specified for TJ = -40°C to +125°C operation.
