Product details
Overview
TLV74010PDQNR from Texas Instruments is a 300mA, 1.0V fixed-output low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator in a 4-pin X2SON package, featuring foldback overcurrent protection, 1% output accuracy, 460mV dropout at full load, 50µA quiescent current, and active output discharge - designed for space-constrained, battery-powered portable media players and streaming devices.
For engineers reviewing the TLV74010PDQNR datasheet, TLV74010PDQNR pinout, TLV74010PDQNR application, or TLV74010PDQNR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1mm × 1mm footprint, thermal performance in thin PCBs, foldback current limiting behavior under short-circuit conditions, and compatibility with 1µF ceramic output capacitors for stable regulation.
Technical Context
The TLV74010PDQNR implements a CMOS-based pass transistor with RDS(ON) ≈ 1.53Ω (calculated from 460mV/300mA), enabling low dropout while maintaining high PSRR (65dB at 1kHz). Its foldback current limit transitions from brickwall (360mA typical) to scaled-back mode below 0.95×VOUT (0.95V), reducing power dissipation during sustained shorts.
It integrates undervoltage lockout (UVLO rising threshold ≈1.3V), thermal shutdown (158°C trip, 140°C reset), and an active pulldown circuit (120Ω nominal) that discharges the output within microseconds when disabled - all operating across –40°C to +85°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 1.0V ±1% - ensures precise core supply for 1V logic domains without external feedback. |
| Max output current | 300mA - supports moderate-power peripherals like USB PHYs or small displays without thermal derating on standard 2-layer PCBs. |
| Dropout voltage | 460mV at 300mA - enables operation from 1.4V input (e.g., single LiFePO₄ cell or boosted 1.2V rail). |
| Quiescent current | 50µA - extends battery life in always-on standby modes of portable media players and STBs. |
| PSRR | 65dB at 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters feeding shared input rails. |
| Enable threshold | VEN(HI) = 1.0V min - compatible with 1.2V/1.8V GPIOs and avoids false turn-on during brownout. |
| Active discharge | 120Ω pulldown - discharges 10µF output capacitance to <100mV in <1.2ms, meeting fast-power-down sequencing requirements. |
Pinout & Package
TLV74010PDQNR uses the DQN package: 4-pin, 1mm × 1mm X2SON with exposed thermal pad electrically tied to GND. Requires solder paste stencil optimization for thermal pad void control and IPC Class 2 reflow profile.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: OUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable 1.0V; requires ≥1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability and transient response. |
| 2: GND | Ground reference | Common return path; thermal pad must be connected to large internal GND plane for RθJB = 164.6°C/W performance. |
| 3: EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input; must not float - tie to IN if unused to ensure default enable; draws only 10nA. |
| 4: IN | Input supply | Accepts 1.4V–5.5V; requires ≥1µF ceramic capacitor near pin to minimize impedance and support inrush current control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Foldback current limit | Transitions from 360mA brickwall to scaled-back mode below 0.95V, limiting power dissipation during shorts and preventing thermal runaway. |
| Active output discharge | 120Ω internal pulldown activated on disable - eliminates need for external bleed resistors in power-sequencing-critical applications. |
| Ultra-low IQ | 50µA ground current at zero load - reduces no-load power loss by >50% vs. legacy LDOs, critical for battery runtime. |
| High PSRR | 65dB at 1kHz and 45dB at 10kHz - maintains clean 1.0V supply despite ripple from buck converters sharing the same input source. |
| UVLO with hysteresis | Rising threshold ≈1.3V, falling threshold ≈1.25V - prevents oscillation during input ramp-up and ensures reliable startup from weak sources. |
Applications
| Portable Media Players | Streaming Media Players |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Powering ARM Cortex-A53 application processor cores and LPDDR2 I/O banks in handheld video players. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary 1.0V core LDO delivering regulated supply with fast load transient response to handle bursty CPU activity. Use Value: 460mV dropout enables direct use of single-cell LiFePO₄ (2.8–3.6V) without intermediate buck stage, reducing BOM count and board area. |
Use Scenario: Supplying HDMI transmitter PHY and audio DAC in compact set-top box dongles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise 1.0V bias rail ensuring jitter-free pixel clock generation and low THD+N audio output. Use Value: 65dB PSRR at 1kHz rejects switching noise from 2MHz DC/DC converter, preventing visible HDMI artifacts and audible DAC distortion. |
| Home Printers | STB and DVR |
Use Scenario: Powering microcontroller and sensor interface circuits in inkjet printer mainboards during low-power sleep states. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Always-on 1.0V supply enabling rapid wake-from-sleep (<100µs startup time) for responsive user interaction. Use Value: 50µA quiescent current minimizes standby drain on backup coin-cell or supercapacitor, extending sleep duration beyond 72 hours. |
Use Scenario: Regulating 1.0V for QAM demodulator ASIC and MPEG decoder logic in cable/satellite receivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fault-tolerant power rail with foldback current limiting to survive ESD-induced latch-up events on RF front-end traces. Use Value: Foldback behavior limits short-circuit power dissipation to <150mW (at 3.3V input), preventing thermal damage during field-repair hot-plug scenarios. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC76010DBVR | Same 1.0V output, but 200mA max current and no active discharge; 60µA IQ; SOT-23-5 package. | Lacks foldback protection and output discharge - unsuitable for systems requiring fast power-down or short-circuit robustness. | Select only if board space allows larger SOT-23 and application tolerates higher dropout (650mV @200mA) and no discharge. |
| MCP1700T-1002E/MB | 1.0V fixed, 250mA, 1.6µA IQ, no enable or discharge; SOT-23-3 package. | No EN pin or active discharge; ultra-low IQ trades off transient response and current capability. | Prefer for ultra-long-life battery applications where enable control and fast shutdown are unnecessary. |
Compared with TLC76010DBVR and MCP1700T-1002E/MB, TLV74010PDQNR delivers higher current (300mA), lower dropout (460mV), integrated enable and active discharge, and foldback protection - making it optimal for compact, feature-rich portable designs requiring robust power management.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for TLV74010PDQNR?
The absolute maximum input voltage for TLV74010PDQNR is 6.0V, but the recommended operating range is 1.4V to 5.5V. Exceeding 5.5V may trigger internal protection or degrade long-term reliability, even if within absolute ratings. Operation above 5.5V is not supported per TI's recommended conditions.
Does TLV74010PDQNR require an external pull-up resistor on the EN pin?
No - TLV74010PDQNR does not require an external pull-up on EN. The device has no internal pull-up; however, EN must not be left floating. If enable functionality is unused, TI specifies connecting EN directly to IN to guarantee reliable enable. External pull-ups are unnecessary and may interfere with controlled shutdown sequencing.
Can TLV74010PDQNR drive a 10µF ceramic output capacitor safely?
Yes - TLV74010PDQNR is stable with output capacitances from 1µF to 100µF, including 10µF X7R ceramics. The datasheet explicitly lists COUT = 1–100µF in Recommended Operating Conditions. Using 10µF improves load transient response without compromising stability, provided ESR remains low (<10mΩ).
What is the thermal performance difference between TLV74010PDQNR and the SOT-23 variant?
TLV74010PDQNR (X2SON, 4-pin) has RθJA = 224.3°C/W, while the SOT-23-5 variant (e.g., TLV74010PDBVR) has RθJA = 216°C/W - a minor 8.3°C/W difference. However, the X2SON's smaller footprint demands more careful PCB copper pour design; its RθJB = 164.6°C/W reflects stronger dependence on board-level thermal conduction versus the SOT-23's lower RθJB = 88.2°C/W.
How does the foldback current limit behave during a short-circuit event on TLV74010PDQNR?
During a short, TLV74010PDQNR initially limits current to ~360mA (brickwall), then folds back as VOUT drops below 0.95V. At hard short (VOUT ≈ 0V), it delivers ~40mA (ISC), reducing power dissipation to ~120mW (at 3V input). This prevents thermal runaway and allows safe recovery once fault clears - unlike fixed-current limiters that sustain full power.
