Product details
Overview
BQ71533DCKRG4 from Texas Instruments is a 3.3-V fixed-output, 50-mA ultra-low-quiescent-current LDO voltage 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 portable gas meters and solar-powered sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the BQ71533DCKRG4 datasheet, BQ71533DCKRG4 pinout, BQ71533DCKRG4 application, or BQ71533DCKRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (up to 24 V), thermal performance in SC70 packaging, dropout behavior under load, and compatibility with low-power microcontroller supply sequencing requirements.
Technical Context
The BQ71533DCKRG4 employs a PMOS pass element enabling low dropout voltage directly proportional to load current, unlike traditional PNP-based LDOs. 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 >100°C die temperature, ensuring stable ground current (3.2–4.8 µA) over full operating conditions. The device requires no external compensation and accepts ceramic, tantalum, or polymer capacitors ≥0.47 µF for loop stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±4% accuracy over full load, line, and temperature range - ensures reliable MSP430F2xx FLASH operation above 2.2 V minimum VIN. |
| Max Input Voltage | 24 V - supports unregulated solar panel inputs and industrial 24-V rails without pre-regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.2 µA typical at 50 mA - enables multi-year battery life in always-on IoT endpoints. |
| Dropout Voltage | 415 mV at 50 mA - allows operation down to 3.715 V input while sustaining 3.3 V output, critical for fading battery sources. |
| Output Capacitor | ≥0.47 µF - enables use of small, low-ESR ceramic capacitors; eliminates need for tantalum or large electrolytics. |
| PSRR | 60 dB at 100 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO. |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for extended industrial and outdoor environmental operation. |
Pinout & Package
SC70-5 (DCK) package: 1.25 mm × 2.1 mm footprint, 0.65 mm pitch, single-row 5-pin surface-mount outline with exposed pad option (not electrically connected in standard DCK).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: FB/NC | Feedback / No Connection | NC for fixed-output BQ71533DCKRG4; not internally connected - must be left floating or grounded per layout best practice. |
| 2: GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for load current and internal bias; requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane. |
| 3: NC | No Connection | Internally isolated; must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling or ESD path disruption. |
| 4: IN | Input Supply | Accepts 3.0–24 V DC; requires local 0.1-µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 2 mm of pin for transient immunity. |
| 5: OUT | Regulated Output | Delivers stable 3.3 V to load; connects directly to MSP430 VCC with ≥0.47-µF output capacitor adjacent to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PMOS Pass Element | Enables load-proportional dropout (415 mV @ 50 mA) and eliminates reverse-current diode losses during power-down. |
| Leakage Null Control | Maintains ground current ≤4.8 µA even at 24 V input and +125°C, preventing quiescent current runaway in high-temp deployments. |
| Capacitor Flexibility | Stable with any ≥0.47-µF output capacitor type (X7R, X5R, tantalum), simplifying BOM and reducing layout sensitivity. |
| Wide Input Range | Operates from 3.0 V to 24 V - accommodates direct connection to Li-ion, 2S/3S battery stacks, and industrial 12/24-V supplies. |
| MSP430-Optimized | 3.3-V output meets VCC requirements for MSP430F2xx, G2xx, and FRAM families while staying below 3.6-V absolute max rating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-dropout linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS71533DCKRG4 | Same electrical specs, identical SC70-5 pinout, but manufactured under TPS715xx family branding (BQ715xx is automotive-qualified variant). | Qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 3 (–40°C to +125°C); includes enhanced ESD robustness (2-kV HBM) and production traceability for automotive Tier-1 supply chains. | Select BQ71533DCKRG4 when automotive qualification, extended temperature validation, or TI's BQ-series lifecycle management is required. |
| MCP1700T-3302E/TT | 3.3-V fixed LDO; 1.6-µA IQ, 6-V max input, SOT-23-3 package - lower IQ but narrower input range and different pinout (IN-GND-OUT vs DCK's IN-GND-NC-FB/NC-OUT). | Lacks 24-V capability and MSP430-specific validation; suitable only for <6-V battery systems where ultra-low IQ dominates design priority. | Choose MCP1700T-3302E/TT only for space-constrained, sub-6-V applications where 24-V tolerance and MSP430 timing margin are irrelevant. |
Compared with TPS71533DCKRG4, BQ71533DCKRG4 offers identical performance with added automotive qualification and traceability, while MCP1700T-3302E/TT trades input voltage headroom and pin compatibility for marginally lower quiescent current in low-voltage-only designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the BQ71533DCKRG4?
The BQ71533DCKRG4 supports a maximum input voltage of 24 V, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This allows direct connection to unregulated 24-V industrial rails or solar panel outputs without external pre-regulation. Operation above 24 V risks permanent damage, and the device must never be subjected to input transients exceeding this limit, even momentarily.
Does the BQ71533DCKRG4 require an external feedback resistor network?
No, the BQ71533DCKRG4 is a fixed 3.3-V output regulator and does not require external feedback resistors. Pin 1 (FB/NC) is a no-connect terminal for this variant - it must be left unconnected or tied to ground per layout guidelines. External resistor dividers are only used with the adjustable TPS71501 variant, not with BQ71533DCKRG4.
What output capacitor value and type are required for stability with the BQ71533DCKRG4?
The BQ71533DCKRG4 is stable with any output capacitor ≥0.47 µF, including X7R/X5R ceramics, tantalum, or polymer types. TI recommends X7R ceramics for lowest ESR and smallest footprint. A 1-µF X7R capacitor placed within 2 mm of the OUT pin is typical for optimal transient response and noise suppression in MSP430 applications.
How does the BQ71533DCKRG4 behave during reverse voltage conditions?
When input voltage drops below output voltage (e.g., during power-down), the BQ71533DCKRG4's PMOS pass transistor conducts reverse current from OUT to IN via its intrinsic body diode. This current is not internally limited and can exceed safe levels if uncontrolled. External reverse-current protection - such as a series Schottky diode or ideal diode controller - is recommended in systems prone to output-backdrive scenarios.
Is the BQ71533DCKRG4 pin-compatible with other TPS715xx variants in SC70-5 package?
Yes, the BQ71533DCKRG4 shares identical SC70-5 (DCK) mechanical dimensions, pin count, and pinout with all TPS715xx and BQ715xx variants in the same package, including TPS71533DCKRG4 and TPS71525DCKRG4. This enables drop-in replacement across output voltage options without PCB redesign, provided thermal and layout constraints remain consistent.
