Product details
Overview
TLV70232QDSERQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade, 300-mA, low-quiescent-current LDO linear regulator with fixed 3.2-V output, 2% accuracy over temperature, 35-µA IQ, and 220-mV dropout at 300 mA - designed for image sensor power and microprocessor rails in automotive camera modules.
For engineers reviewing the TLV70232QDSERQ1 datasheet, TLV70232QDSERQ1 pinout, TLV70232QDSERQ1 application, or TLV70232QDSERQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal behavior, enable-controlled shutdown, PSRR performance at 1 kHz, and WSON-6 package layout guidance for AEC-Q100 Grade 1 systems.
Technical Context
The TLV70232QDSERQ1 uses a PMOS pass transistor to achieve ultra-low dropout and maintain regulation down to (VIN – VOUT) = 220 mV at full 300-mA load. Its precision bandgap reference and error amplifier deliver ±2% output accuracy across –40°C to +125°C ambient.
It integrates active-high enable (EN), thermal shutdown (165°C trip), current limit (~500 mA typical), and undervoltage lockout (1.9 V). Stability is guaranteed with ≥0.1 µF effective ceramic output capacitance - enabling compact, bias-voltage-tolerant capacitor selection in space-constrained automotive PCBs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.2 V ±2% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures stable core voltage for image sensors and MCU I/O rails without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA continuous - supports dual-lane MIPI CSI-2 image sensors and low-power microcontrollers. |
| Quiescent Current | 35 µA typical - enables always-on operation in automotive body electronics with minimal battery drain. |
| Dropout Voltage | 220 mV at 300 mA, 3.2 V output - allows operation from 3.42 V input, maximizing battery runtime in 3.6-V Li-ion or 5-V supply-rail systems. |
| PSRR | 68 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters feeding camera module power domains. |
| Output Noise | 48 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz) - prevents noise coupling into analog pixel outputs and ADC reference paths. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(HI) = 0.9 V min, VEN(LO) = 0.4 V max - compatible with 1.8-V and 3.3-V logic-level microcontrollers for precise power sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
TLV70232QDSERQ1 is packaged in a 1.5-mm × 1.5-mm, 6-pin WSON (DSE) package with wettable flanks, optimized for automated optical inspection (AOI) and thermal performance in automotive PCBs. The exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a PCB copper pour for junction-to-board thermal resistance of 281.5°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 1) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2 V to 5.5 V; requires ≥0.1 µF ceramic decoupling close to pin to ensure stability and transient response. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power ground reference | Single-point connection for IN and OUT return paths; ties to thermal pad for optimal heat dissipation. |
| EN (Pin 6) | Active-high enable control | Pulls high (>0.9 V) to activate regulator; pulls low (<0.4 V) to reduce ground current to ≤2.5 µA in shutdown mode. |
| OUT (Pin 3) | Regulated output | Delivers 3.2 V ±2%; requires ≥0.1 µF effective ceramic capacitance (X5R/X7R) on board for stability. |
| NC (Pins 4, 5) | No-connect terminals | Internally unconnected; TI recommends tying to GND to improve thermal conduction from die to PCB. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary LDO after main 5-V domain, providing fault-isolated, thermally protected voltage for display timing ICs. Use Value: Thermal shutdown and UVLO (1.9 V) prevent latch-up during engine start when battery dips to 6 V. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV70233QDSERQ1 | Fixed 3.3-V output; identical package, pinout, and specs except VOUT and minor PSRR variation (67 dB @ 1 kHz). | Used where 3.3-V logic compatibility is required instead of 3.2-V sensor bias; no PCB change needed. | Select when system-level voltage margin allows 100-mV higher nominal output without violating sensor VDD max. |
| TPS7A0533PDQNR | 300-mA, 3.3-V LDO with 25-µA IQ, 170-mV dropout, but only AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (–40°C to +105°C) and SOT-23-5 package. | Limited to cabin-located infotainment modules; not qualified for under-hood or camera housing environments. | Choose only for non-critical interior applications where Grade 1 temperature range is unnecessary and SOT-23 layout is preferred. |
Compared with TLV70232QDSERQ1, TLV70233QDSERQ1 offers identical automotive qualification and drop-in replacement capability for 3.3-V designs, while TPS7A0533PDQNR trades Grade 1 reliability for lower IQ and smaller footprint - making it unsuitable for camera or radar modules but viable for dashboard displays.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for TLV70232QDSERQ1?
The absolute maximum input voltage for TLV70232QDSERQ1 is 6.0 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. For reliable continuous operation, TI recommends limiting VIN to ≤5.5 V per Recommended Operating Conditions - ensuring compatibility with standard 5-V automotive supply rails and transient-tolerant design margins.
Does TLV70232QDSERQ1 require an input capacitor?
TLV70232QDSERQ1 does not require an input capacitor for stability, but TI strongly recommends a 0.1-µF to 1-µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor between IN and GND. This improves transient response, reduces noise coupling from upstream sources, and mitigates voltage excursions caused by inductive input impedance - especially critical in automotive environments with high di/dt loads.
Can TLV70232QDSERQ1 be used with output capacitors smaller than 1 µF?
Yes - TLV70232QDSERQ1 is stable with an effective output capacitance of ≥0.1 µF, provided the capacitor maintains that value under operating bias voltage and temperature. This enables use of compact 0402 X5R/X7R ceramics rated at 6.3 V or higher, reducing PCB area versus traditional 1-µF solutions while preserving stability in automotive camera modules.
What is the thermal shutdown behavior of TLV70232QDSERQ1?
TLV70232QDSERQ1 activates thermal shutdown at approximately 165°C junction temperature and resets at ~145°C, providing 20°C hysteresis. During sustained overload, the device cycles between regulation and shutdown to limit average power dissipation. TI advises keeping TJ ≤125°C via proper PCB copper pour and thermal pad soldering to ensure long-term reliability in automotive applications.
Is TLV70232QDSERQ1 pin-compatible with other TLV702-Q1 variants?
Yes - all TLV702-Q1 devices in the WSON-6 (DSE) package, including TLV70232QDSERQ1, share identical pin configuration, terminal functions, and footprint. This allows direct substitution across output voltages (1.2 V to 4.8 V) without PCB redesign, supporting flexible BOM management and last-time-buy mitigation across automotive platforms.
