Product details
Overview
TLV70235DBVR from Texas Instruments is a 300-mA, low-quiescent-current, low-dropout linear regulator with fixed 3.5-V output, 2% DC accuracy, 35-μA quiescent current, 260-mV dropout at 300 mA, and 68-dB PSRR at 1 kHz - designed for Li-ion–powered handheld devices requiring stable, low-noise supply under light-load and transient conditions.
For engineers reviewing the TLV70235DBVR datasheet, TLV70235DBVR pinout, TLV70235DBVR application, or TLV70235DBVR equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (SOT-23-5), confirmed pin functions (IN/GND/EN/OUT), real-world stability data (0.1-μF ceramic output capacitor support), and validated alternatives for battery-powered RF and portable systems.
Technical Context
The TLV70235DBVR uses a PMOS pass transistor to achieve low dropout and maintains regulation down to 260 mV headroom at full 300-mA load. Its precision bandgap reference and error amplifier deliver ±2% output accuracy across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
It features active-high enable (VEN(high) = 0.9 V), thermal shutdown (165°C trip), overcurrent protection (320–860 mA limit), and undervoltage lockout (1.9 V). The device draws only 35 μA ground current at no load and drops to 400 nA in shutdown - enabling multi-day standby in always-on sensors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.5 V ±2% - ensures stable core voltage for 3.3-V microcontrollers without external feedback network. |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA - supports moderate-power peripherals like BLE radios or display drivers in compact handhelds. |
| Quiescent Current | 35 μA - enables >1-year battery life in low-duty-cycle IoT sensors powered by single Li-ion cells. |
| Dropout Voltage | 260 mV at 300 mA - allows operation down to VIN = 3.76 V, extending usable battery range below 4.0 V. |
| PSRR | 68 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters in mixed-signal PCB layouts. |
| Output Capacitor | Stable with ≥0.1 μF ceramic - permits use of 0402-size X5R/X7R caps, reducing BOM cost and board area. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(high) = 0.9 V - compatible with 1.8-V GPIOs for precise power sequencing in multi-rail systems. |
Pinout & Package
TLV70235DBVR is packaged in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) with 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size and exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 = IN, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = EN, Pin 4 = NC (no connection; may be grounded for thermal improvement), Pin 5 = OUT.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 1) | Input supply connection | Accepts 2–5.5 V input; requires ≥0.1-μF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability and transient immunity. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power ground reference | Serves as common return for IN, OUT, and EN; must connect directly to low-impedance ground plane. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Active-high enable control | Drives >0.9 V to enable regulator; <0.4 V forces shutdown with 400-nA quiescent current. |
| NC (Pin 4) | No internal connection | Not bonded; may be tied to GND to improve thermal dissipation without electrical impact. |
| OUT (Pin 5) | Regulated output node | Delivers 3.5 V ±2%; requires ≥0.1-μF ceramic cap to GND - ESR <200 mΩ recommended. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dropout voltage | 260 mV at 300 mA enables extended battery runtime in 3.5-V systems powered by single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V). |
| Ultra-low IQ | 35 μA quiescent current minimizes standby loss - critical for coin-cell–powered wearables and remote sensors. |
| High PSRR | 68 dB at 1 kHz rejects ripple from noisy buck converters, preserving signal integrity in RF front-ends. |
| Small-output-capacitor stability | Validated with 0.1 μF ceramic output cap - reduces footprint, cost, and bias-voltage derating concerns vs. larger electrolytics. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown (165°C), current limit (≥320 mA), and UVLO (1.9 V) prevent damage during fault or brownout events. |
Applications
| Wireless Handset Power Rail | Zigbee® Sensor Node Supply |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for TLV70235DBVR?
The absolute maximum input voltage for TLV70235DBVR is 6.0 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term use, the recommended maximum input voltage is 5.5 V under all operating conditions - ensuring margin against transients and thermal stress while maintaining 2% output accuracy.
Does TLV70235DBVR require an input capacitor?
TLV70235DBVR 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 input ripple coupling, and prevents oscillation when source impedance exceeds 2 Ω - especially critical in battery-fed designs with long PCB traces or shared power rails.
Can TLV70235DBVR operate with a 0.1-μF output capacitor?
Yes, TLV70235DBVR is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with an effective output capacitance of ≥0.1 μF, provided it is a ceramic type (X5R/X7R) with ESR <200 mΩ. This enables use of miniature 0402-case capacitors, reducing PCB area and cost - unlike older LDOs requiring ≥1-μF outputs.
What is the shutdown current of TLV70235DBVR?
TLV70235DBVR draws 400 nA typical shutdown current when EN ≤0.4 V and VIN = 2 V. Over the full temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and input voltage (2–4.5 V), shutdown current remains ≤2 μA - making it suitable for applications requiring nanowatt-level sleep modes, such as wake-on-event sensor nodes.
Is TLV70235DBVR pin-compatible with other TLV702 variants?
Yes, all TLV702xxDBVR variants (e.g., TLV70212DBVR, TLV70233DBVR) share identical SOT-23-5 pinout: Pin 1 = IN, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = EN, Pin 4 = NC, Pin 5 = OUT. This allows drop-in replacement across output voltages from 1.2 V to 4.8 V without PCB redesign - simplifying BOM consolidation and design reuse.
