•

Qualified for Automotive Applications

•

Stable with No Output Capacitor or Any Value

The TPS736xx family of low-dropout (LDO) linear

voltage regulators uses a new topology: an NMOS

or Type of Capacitor

pass element in a voltage-follower configuration. This

•

Input Voltage Range of 1.7V to 5.5V

topology is stable using output capacitors with low

Ultra-Low Dropout Voltage: 75mV typ

ESR, and even allows operation without a capacitor.

•

Excellent Load Transient Response—with or

It also provides high reverse blockage (low reverse

current) and ground pin current that is nearly constant

over all values of output current.

•

New NMOS Topology Delivers Low Reverse

Leakage Current

The TPS736xx uses an advanced BiCMOS process

to yield high precision while delivering very low

•

dropout voltages and low ground pin current. Current
