Product details
Overview
TL783CKTER from Texas Instruments is a high-voltage adjustable linear regulator IC featuring DMOS output transistor architecture, 1.25 V to 125 V output adjustability via external resistor divider, 700 mA continuous output current capability, and full on-chip protection including short-circuit, safe-operating-area (SOA), and thermal shutdown - used in off-line 125-V regulated power supplies for medical instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the TL783CKTER datasheet, TL783CKTER pinout, TL783CKTER application, or TL783CKTER equivalent, key selection considerations include input-to-output differential voltage up to 125 V, reference voltage tolerance (1.20–1.30 V), ADJ pin current (83–110 µA), ripple rejection (66–76 dB), and TO-263 (KTT) package thermal resistance (RθJC = 17 °C/W).
Technical Context
The TL783CKTER implements a three-terminal adjustable topology with internal 1.25 V bandgap reference and error amplifier driving a high-voltage DMOS pass transistor. Its regulation loop maintains VOUT = VREF(1 + R2/R1) + IADJ·R2, where VREF is trimmed to 1.27 V typical and IADJ remains stable across temperature and load (83–110 µA).
Protection circuitry operates independently of the ADJ pin: current limiting engages at ≥700 mA (pulse-tested), SOA protection prevents secondary breakdown under high VIN–VOUT, and thermal shutdown activates at TJ ≥ 150 °C. No external compensation is required due to inherent stability across capacitive loads up to 10 µF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage Range | 1.25 V to 125 V - set by external R1/R2 divider; enables single-part coverage from low-voltage analog rails to high-voltage industrial bias supplies. |
| Max Output Current | 700 mA continuous - limited by thermal design; peak current up to 900 mA for ≤30 ms pulses at VIN–VOUT = 25 V. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.20–1.30 V (min/typ/max) - defines regulation accuracy baseline; 0.15% typical output voltage regulation over 15–700 mA load range. |
| Ripple Rejection | 66–76 dB - suppresses 120-Hz rectified ripple without ADJ bypass capacitor; critical for clean high-voltage bias in sensitive analog circuits. |
| Input Voltage Regulation | 0.001%/V typical - ensures <±12.5 mV output shift per 125 V input change; essential for stable operation with unregulated rectified inputs. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 150 °C junction temperature - protects against sustained overload or inadequate heatsinking; recovery occurs after cooldown below ~135 °C. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 2500 V - requires standard handling precautions; MOS gate susceptible to static discharge if leads not shorted during assembly. |
Pinout & Package
TL783CKTER is housed in a TO-263 (KTT) surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad, measuring 10.18 mm × 8.41 mm × 4.57 mm (max height), rated for 0–125 °C operating junction temperature and compatible with standard reflow profiles (MSL 3).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT (Pin 2) | Regulated output voltage node | Source of regulated DC; connects to load and R1 of feedback divider; must be decoupled with ≥15/VO µF output capacitor for transient stability. |
| IN (Pin 3) | Unregulated high-voltage input | Accepts 1.25 V to 125 V above OUT; requires ≥1 µF input bypass if >10 cm from bulk filter; susceptible to ringing above 10 V/ns slew rate. |
| ADJ (Pin 1) | Feedback reference input | Senses voltage drop across R1; draws 83–110 µA; must be connected directly to R1–R2 junction - no capacitor allowed to preserve transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-voltage DMOS pass element | Withstands 125 V input-to-output differential without secondary breakdown - eliminates need for external series pass transistors in off-line designs. |
| Integrated SOA protection | Monitors instantaneous VDS×ID product to prevent destructive operation during overload - enables robust 125-V operation without external foldback circuitry. |
| Stable without ADJ capacitor | Eliminates risk of oscillation or degraded load step response caused by stray capacitance on ADJ pin - simplifies layout in high-noise environments. |
| Low-reference-drift architecture | 0.4% max output voltage drift over temperature (0–125 °C) and 0.2% long-term drift after 1000 hrs at 125 °C - suitable for precision biasing in medical diagnostics. |
| Minimum load current support | 15 mA minimum output current required to maintain regulation - satisfied by R1 = 82 Ω at 1.25 V reference; enables predictable dropout behavior. |
Applications
| Medical Diagnostic Power Supply | Industrial Off-Line Bias Generator |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage adjustable regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM317HVH/NOPB | Lower max VIN–VOUT (60 V), lower IOUT (500 mA), bipolar process - higher dropout and thermal sensitivity. | Suitable only for ≤60 V applications; requires larger heatsink at same power; lacks SOA protection. | Select when cost is primary constraint and voltage requirement stays below 60 V; avoid for 100+ V designs. |
| LT3080MPMSE#PBF | Wider VIN–VOUT (40 V), current-source architecture, 1.2 V dropout - superior PSRR but limited to 1.2–36 V output range. | Not viable for >36 V outputs; excels in low-noise, low-dropout lab supplies but cannot replace TL783CKTER in 125 V applications. | Choose for ultra-low-noise ≤36 V bias rails where PSRR >80 dB is critical; reject for off-line HV applications. |
Compared with LM317HVH/NOPB and LT3080MPMSE#PBF, TL783CKTER uniquely supports 125 V differential operation with integrated SOA and thermal protection - making it the only drop-in solution for 100–125 V off-line regulators without external pass devices.

FAQ
What is the maximum input-to-output voltage differential supported by the TL783CKTER?
The TL783CKTER supports a maximum input-to-output differential voltage of 125 V, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This allows direct regulation from rectified 120 VAC (≈170 VPK) down to 45 V outputs without external series pass devices. Operation beyond 125 V risks permanent damage, even momentarily.
Does the TL783CKTER require an external capacitor on the ADJ pin for stability?
No, the TL783CKTER does not require an external capacitor on the ADJ pin - in fact, TI explicitly advises against it. Adding capacitance there degrades load transient response and may induce instability. The TL783CKTER achieves inherent stability across its full operating range without ADJ bypass, unlike many older adjustable regulators.
What is the minimum load current required for regulation with the TL783CKTER?
The TL783CKTER requires a minimum load current of 15 mA to maintain regulation, as confirmed in its Electrical Characteristics table under "Minimum output current to maintain regulation." This current is typically supplied through the R1 resistor (recommended 82 Ω) in the feedback divider network connected between OUT and ADJ pins.
How does the TL783CKTER's thermal performance compare across package types?
The TL783CKTER in TO-263 (KTT) package has a junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJC) of 17 °C/W, lower than the TO-220 (KC) version at 19 °C/W. This 2 °C/W improvement enables higher continuous power dissipation in space-constrained surface-mount designs, especially when using the exposed thermal pad with proper PCB copper pour.
Can the TL783CKTER be used in current-sinking configurations?
Yes, the TL783CKTER can be configured as a current sink by reversing its connection: connect IN to ground, OUT to load, and ADJ to current-sense resistor. Figure 16 in the official datasheet confirms this topology, enabling constant-current LED drivers or precision current sources up to 700 mA with the same protection features as sourcing mode.
