The TPS737xx family of linear low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulators uses an NMOS pass
element in a voltage-follower configuration. This topology is relatively insensitive to output
capacitor value and ESR, allowing a wide variety of load configurations. Load transient response is
excellent, even with a small 1-µF ceramic output capacitor. The NMOS topology also allows very low
dropout.
The TPS737xx family 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 less than 20 nA and ideal for portable applications. These devices are
protected by thermal shutdown and foldback current limit.
For
applications that require higher output voltage accuracy, consider TIs
TPS7A37xx family of 1% overall accuracy,
1-A low-dropout voltage regulators.
