3 Description

The TPS7A02 is an ultra-small, ultra-low quiescent

current low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) that can

source 200 mA with excellent transient performance.

The TPS7A02, with an ultra-low IQ of 25 nA, is

designed specifically for applications where 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,

3-nA IQ that helps increase the shelf life of the battery.

The TPS7A02 has an output range of 0.8 V to 5.0

V available in 50-mV steps to support the lower core

voltages of modern microcontrollers (MCUs).

The 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

and helps minimize the external components used to

pulldown the EN pin. This circuit also helps minimize

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.
