Product details
Overview
TLV70418DBVR from Texas Instruments is a 1.8-V fixed-output, 150-mA low-dropout linear regulator with 3.4-μA typical quiescent current, 2.5–24-V input range, and stable operation with ≥0.47-μF output capacitance. It delivers precision voltage regulation for ultra-low-power microcontrollers in battery-powered industrial sensors and smart metering systems.
For engineers reviewing the TLV70418DBVR datasheet, TLV70418DBVR pinout, TLV70418DBVR application, or TLV70418DBVR equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, thermal performance data, SOT-23-5 pin mapping, real-world load/line transient behavior, and validated alternative options for long-life embedded power design.
Technical Context
The TLV70418DBVR implements a CMOS pass transistor architecture with internal soft-start and brick-wall overcurrent protection. Its dropout voltage is 850 mV at 100 mA (typ), scaling with load via RDS(ON) ≈ 8.5 Ω, and it maintains regulation across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
It features leakage-null control active below 5 μA load, enabling stable 3.4-μA IQ across full 0–150 mA output range. The device operates without external compensation and supports input transients up to 30 V (new chip only), with PSRR of 60 dB at 100 kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±2% - ensures stable core supply for 1.8-V logic and low-power MCUs like MSP430FRxx. |
| Input voltage range | 2.5 V to 24 V (30 V absolute max for new chip) - supports wide-input sources including unregulated solar panels and industrial 24-V rails. |
| Max output current | 150 mA - sufficient to power sensor nodes with integrated ADC, RF transceiver, and flash memory simultaneously. |
| Quiescent current | 3.4 μA (typ) at 100 mA - enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered IoT endpoints with periodic wake-up cycles. |
| Dropout voltage | 850 mV at 100 mA - allows regulation down to VIN = 2.65 V, critical for deep discharge Li-ion or multi-cell alkaline operation. |
| Stability capacitor | ≥0.47 μF ceramic - enables use of small, low-cost 0603/0805 capacitors without ESR requirements or external compensation. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules, grid-edge metering, and industrial PLC I/O cards. |
Pinout & Package
TLV70418DBVR is housed in a 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package with exposed pad for enhanced thermal dissipation (RθJA = 170.8°C/W for new chip). Pin 1 is GND, Pin 2 is IN, Pin 3 is OUT, Pins 4 and 5 are NC (not internally connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground reference | Primary return path for input/output currents; tie directly to low-impedance ground plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| IN (Pin 2) | Input supply | Accepts 2.5–24 V; requires ≥0.1 μF bypass capacitor to suppress high-frequency source impedance effects. |
| OUT (Pin 3) | Regulated output | Delivers 1.8 V ±2%; requires ≥1 μF ceramic capacitor (derated to ≥0.47 μF effective) for stability and transient response. |
| NC (Pins 4, 5) | No connection | Not bonded internally; may be left floating or tied to GND to improve thermal conduction to PCB copper. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3.4 μA (typ) across 0–150 mA load - eliminates standby power penalty in always-on sensing applications. |
| Internal soft-start | Controls inrush into COUT - prevents input rail sag and MCU brownout during power-up in battery-constrained systems. |
| Brick-wall overcurrent protection | 160–500 mA limit (new chip) - safeguards against short-circuit faults without latch-up or thermal shutdown delay. |
| Wide-input compatibility | Operates from 2.5 V up to 30 V (abs max) - eliminates need for pre-regulation stages in mixed-voltage industrial subsystems. |
| Thermal robustness | RθJB = 76.7°C/W - sustains 150 mA continuous output at +85°C ambient with minimal PCB copper area. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLS850F0TESK | 5-V fixed output, 500-mA rating, 20-μA IQ, AEC-Q100 qualified | Automotive body electronics; requires higher IQ and different output voltage | Select only if 5-V rail and automotive qualification are mandatory; not drop-in for 1.8-V systems. |
| MCP1703T-1802E/MB | 1.8-V fixed, 250-mA, 2.5-µA IQ, SOT-23-5, but 16-V max input | Consumer portable devices; lacks 24-V input capability and thermal rating | Use where lower IQ is critical and input stays ≤16 V; verify thermal margin at 125°C ambient. |
Compared with TLS850F0TESK and MCP1703T-1802E/MB, TLV70418DBVR uniquely balances ultra-low IQ, 24-V input support, and industrial temperature range-making it optimal for long-life, wide-input, battery- or energy-harvesting–powered systems where 1.8-V regulation is required.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for TLV70418DBVR?
The TLV70418DBVR has an absolute maximum input voltage of 30 V for the new chip revision (as confirmed in Revision F, March 2023 datasheet). Legacy chips are rated to 24 V. Always verify the date code or marking to confirm revision; operation above 24 V is only guaranteed for new-chip units. TLV70418DBVR must never be subjected to input transients exceeding 30 V, even momentarily.
Does TLV70418DBVR require an input capacitor?
TLV70418DBVR does not require an input capacitor for stability, but Texas Instruments recommends a 0.047-μF ceramic capacitor from IN to GND to suppress ringing caused by source inductance during load transients. This improves system-level robustness without affecting LDO regulation. TLV70418DBVR remains stable without it, but the recommended capacitor mitigates potential instability in high-impedance supply configurations.
Can TLV70418DBVR operate with a 0.47-μF output capacitor?
Yes-TLV70418DBVR is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with any ceramic output capacitor ≥0.47 μF (effective value after derating). The datasheet specifies that nominal 1-μF capacitors (derated 50%) meet this minimum. Using a 0.47-μF X7R 0603 capacitor is valid and commonly implemented in space-constrained designs. TLV70418DBVR does not require ESR tuning or additional compensation.
What is the dropout voltage of TLV70418DBVR at 100 mA?
The dropout voltage of TLV70418DBVR is 850 mV (typical) at 100 mA load current and +25°C, as specified in Section 6.4 Electrical Characteristics. At full 150 mA, dropout rises to 1100 mV (max). This means TLV70418DBVR maintains 1.8-V regulation as long as input voltage stays ≥2.65 V at 100 mA-critical for extending runtime in deeply discharged battery systems.
Is TLV70418DBVR pin-compatible with other TLV704 variants?
Yes-TLV70418DBVR shares identical 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) packaging, pinout (GND-IN-OUT-NC-NC), and footprint with all TLV704 fixed-output variants (e.g., TLV70433DBVR, TLV70450DBVR). This enables single PCB design reuse across multiple output voltages. However, output voltage and certain electrical parameters (e.g., PSRR, load regulation) vary by variant; always validate system performance with the specific part number's datasheet curves.
