Product details
Overview
BQ71533DCKR from Texas Instruments is a 3.3-V, 50-mA ultra-low-quiescent-current low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator in SC70-5 (DCK) package, featuring 415-mV dropout at 50 mA, 3.2-µA quiescent current, and stability with ≥0.47-µF output capacitors. It powers MSP430 microcontrollers in battery-constrained systems such as solar-powered sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the BQ71533DCKR datasheet, BQ71533DCKR pinout, BQ71533DCKR application, or BQ71533DCKR equivalent, key selection considerations include input voltage range (up to 24 V), thermal performance in SC70 packaging, dropout behavior under load, and compatibility with MSP430 supply requirements for FLASH and core operation.
Technical Context
The BQ71533DCKR uses a PMOS pass element instead of a traditional PNP transistor, enabling low dropout voltage directly proportional to load current. Its internal bandgap reference (1.205 V) and feedback architecture support precise 3.3-V regulation across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
It integrates leakage null control active below 5 µA load and above 100°C die temperature, and features built-in current limiting (~500 mA) and reverse-current protection via the PMOS body diode. No external compensation is required due to inherent stability with any ≥0.47-µF capacitor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±4% over full operating range - ensures reliable MSP430F2xx FLASH operation above 2.2 V minimum VIN requirement. |
| Max Input Voltage | 24 V - supports unregulated sources including solar panels and industrial rails without pre-regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.2 µA typical at 50 mA - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor applications. |
| Dropout Voltage | 415 mV at 50 mA - allows operation down to VIN = 3.715 V while maintaining regulated 3.3 V output. |
| Output Capacitor | ≥0.47 µF ceramic or tantalum - eliminates need for high-ESR capacitors; enables compact, low-BOM designs. |
| PSRR | 60 dB at 100 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for extended industrial and outdoor embedded deployments. |
Pinout & Package
SC70-5 (DCK) package: 5-pin, 2.0 mm × 2.1 mm × 0.9 mm body, moisture sensitivity level 1, RoHS-compliant green finish (Pb-free, no Sb/Br).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (FB/NC) | Feedback / No Connection | Fixed-output variant: internally connected; no external resistor network required - simplifies layout and reduces component count. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for load current and internal bias - must be low-impedance connection to minimize ground bounce and output error. |
| 3 (NC) | No Connection | Unbonded die pad - electrically isolated; no routing or thermal tie required. |
| 4 (IN) | Input Supply | Accepts 2.5 V to 24 V; requires local 0.1-µF bypass capacitor near pin for transient immunity and PSRR enhancement. |
| 5 (OUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers stable 3.3 V to load; connects directly to MSP430 VCC and decoupling capacitors - output impedance <1 Ω up to 100 kHz. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PMOS Pass Element | Enables 415-mV dropout at full 50-mA load - extends usable battery voltage range by >300 mV vs. bipolar-based LDOs. |
| Ultra-Low IQ | 3.2-µA quiescent current stable from 0 to 50 mA - maintains efficiency at micropower sleep states without sacrificing wake-up response. |
| Capacitor-Free Stability | Stable with any ≥0.47-µF output capacitor - eliminates ESR constraints and enables use of low-cost X5R/X7R ceramics. |
| MSP430-Optimized | 3.3-V output meets VCC min/max specs for MSP430F2xx FLASH programming and core operation - avoids under-voltage lockout. |
| Reverse Current Protection | PMOS body diode blocks reverse conduction during power-down - prevents backfeed into input rail without external diode. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS71533DCKR | Same electrical specs, identical SC70-5 pinout, but manufactured under standard commercial process (non-automotive grade). | Qualified for general industrial use; lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and extended temperature screening of BQ71533DCKR. | Select TPS71533DCKR for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where automotive reliability is not required. |
| BQ71533QDBVR | Same 3.3-V output and 50-mA rating, but in SOT-23-5 (DBV) package - larger footprint, higher RθJA (335°C/W vs. 395°C/W). | Offers higher power dissipation margin at elevated ambient temperatures due to better thermal pad exposure in DBV. | Choose BQ71533QDBVR when board-level thermal management is constrained and SC70 thermal limits are exceeded. |
Compared with TPS71533DCKR and BQ71533QDBVR, the BQ71533DCKR provides automotive-grade reliability in the smallest footprint, making it optimal for space- and mission-critical applications where AEC-Q100 compliance and minimal PCB area are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the BQ71533DCKR?
The BQ71533DCKR supports a maximum input voltage of 24 V, as specified in its absolute maximum ratings. This allows direct connection to unregulated sources such as solar panels or industrial 24-V rails without external overvoltage protection. Operation above this voltage risks permanent damage, and the device is not designed to clamp or regulate beyond 24 V. Always verify input transients remain within this limit in final system design.
Does the BQ71533DCKR require an external feedback resistor network?
No, the BQ71533DCKR is a fixed-output 3.3-V regulator and does not require external feedback resistors. Pin 1 (FB/NC) is internally connected for the fixed version - unlike the adjustable TPS71501, no resistor divider is needed. This eliminates tuning errors, reduces BOM count, and improves layout simplicity and long-term stability in production.
How does the BQ71533DCKR handle reverse current flow during power-down?
The BQ71533DCKR incorporates a PMOS pass transistor with an intrinsic body diode that conducts reverse current when VIN falls below VOUT. While this prevents output voltage collapse during fast input decay, reverse current is not internally limited. For applications where sustained reverse bias may occur, designers should add an external Schottky diode in series with the input or implement system-level isolation to avoid unintended discharge paths.
What output capacitor value is required for stability with the BQ71533DCKR?
The BQ71533DCKR is stable with any output capacitor ≥0.47 µF, including ceramic (X5R, X7R), tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic types. Unlike many LDOs, it imposes no ESR minimum or maximum - enabling use of low-ESR 0402/0603 MLCCs. A 1-µF X7R ceramic capacitor is recommended for optimal transient response and noise performance in MSP430 applications.
Is the BQ71533DCKR pin-compatible with other TPS715xx variants in SC70-5 package?
Yes, the BQ71533DCKR shares identical SC70-5 (DCK) pinout and footprint with all TPS715xx and BQ715xx variants in the same package, including TPS71533DCKR and BQ71525DCKR. Pin assignments (IN, GND, NC, OUT, FB/NC) are consistent across the family, enabling voltage-option flexibility without PCB redesign - provided thermal and layout constraints for the specific output current are met.
