Product details
Overview
TPS71523DCKR from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output 2.3-V, 50-mA low-dropout linear regulator with 3.2-μA quiescent current, stable with ≥0.47-μF output capacitance, and rated for –40°C to +125°C junction temperature in SC70-5 package. It delivers ultra-low IQ across full load range (0–50 mA), supports input voltages from 2.5 V to 24 V, and features overcurrent protection and internal soft-start-ideal for battery-powered microcontroller power rails in industrial sensing nodes.
For engineers reviewing the TPS71523DCKR datasheet, TPS71523DCKR pinout, TPS71523DCKR application, or TPS71523DCKR equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 50 mA (415 mV typ), input voltage headroom tolerance, thermal performance in SC70 (RθJB = 40.7°C/W for new chip), and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors ≥0.47 μF.
Technical Context
The TPS71523DCKR implements a CMOS-based pass transistor architecture with a 1.205-V internal bandgap reference and leakage-null control circuit active under light-load/high-voltage/temperature conditions. Its dropout behavior follows RDS(ON)-scaled voltage drop, delivering 415 mV typical at 50 mA and maintaining regulation down to VIN = VOUT + VDO.
It operates in three functional modes: normal regulation (VIN > VOUT + VDO, IOUT < ICL), dropout (VIN < VOUT + VDO, IOUT < ICL), and current-limited fault state (IOUT = ICL ≈ 125–350 mA). Internal soft-start limits inrush current during startup, while overcurrent protection engages as a brick-wall limiter without thermal shutdown.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 2.3 V ±4% accuracy across –40°C to +125°C, enabling direct replacement of legacy 2.3-V logic or analog supply rails. |
| Max output current | 50 mA continuous-sufficient for MSP430, STM32L, or similar ultra-low-power MCUs and sensor interfaces. |
| Quiescent current | 3.2 μA typical over 0–50 mA load and –40°C to +125°C-preserves battery life in multi-year IoT endpoint deployments. |
| Dropout voltage | 415 mV typical at 50 mA-allows operation from single Li-ion (3.0 V min) or 5-V rail with ≥2.715 V headroom. |
| Input voltage range | 2.5 V to 24 V (30 V absolute max for new chip)-supports wide-input industrial supplies, 12-V bus derivatives, and battery-backed systems. |
| Stability condition | Stable with ≥0.47 μF ceramic output capacitor-enables compact, low-BOM-count designs without tantalum or polymer caps. |
| Thermal resistance | RθJB = 40.7°C/W (new chip)-permits 350 mW dissipation at 40°C ambient before reaching 125°C junction limit in standard PCB layout. |
Pinout & Package
TPS71523DCKR uses the 5-pin SC70 (DCK) package, measuring 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm, with exposed pad not electrically connected. Thermal performance relies on PCB copper area under the package body and proper grounding of NC pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No-connect | Internally unconnected; tie to GND for improved thermal conduction and EMI suppression-no electrical function. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for IN, OUT, and internal bias; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise and dropout error. |
| 3 (NC) | No-connect | Internally unconnected; tie to GND for thermal enhancement-no signal or power role. |
| 4 (IN) | Input supply | Accepts 2.5–24 V; requires ≥0.1-μF ceramic decoupling close to pin to suppress source impedance-induced instability. |
| 5 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 2.3 V; requires ≥0.47-μF ceramic capacitor to ground for loop stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3.2 μA typical across full 0–50 mA load range and –40°C to +125°C-enables >10-year battery life in always-on sensors. |
| Wide input voltage support | Operates from 2.5 V up to 24 V (30 V abs max)-eliminates need for pre-regulation in 12-V or 24-V industrial systems. |
| Low-dropout architecture | 415 mV dropout at 50 mA enables use with single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or partially discharged alkaline stacks. |
| Internal soft-start | Controls output ramp rate to limit inrush into downstream capacitance-prevents input rail sag and system brownouts. |
| Overcurrent protection | Brick-wall current limit (~125–350 mA depending on chip revision) protects against short-circuit faults without latch-up or thermal shutdown. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS71533DCKR | Fixed 3.3-V output; identical package, quiescent current, and input range-only output voltage differs. | Used where system requires 3.3-V logic supply instead of 2.3-V analog/reference rail. | Select when target voltage matches 3.3 V; no layout change needed but verify downstream voltage tolerance. |
| MCP1703T-2302E/MB | 2.3-V fixed output, 250-mA rating, 3.5-μA IQ, SOT-23-5 package-higher current, larger footprint, slightly higher IQ. | Suitable for higher-current peripherals (e.g., display drivers) where SC70 size constraint is relaxed. | Choose when >50 mA load or better thermal margin is required; requires PCB redesign due to SOT-23-5 vs SC70-5 footprint mismatch. |
Compared with TPS71533DCKR, the TPS71523DCKR provides identical performance at 2.3 V-critical for precision analog biasing-while the MCP1703T-2302E/MB trades SC70 miniaturization for higher current capability and different thermal characteristics.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the TPS71523DCKR?
The TPS71523DCKR supports up to 24 V under recommended operating conditions. Its absolute maximum input voltage is 30 V for the new-chip revision (as specified in the December 2022 datasheet revision T), making it suitable for transient-tolerant industrial 24-V systems. Exceeding 30 V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does the TPS71523DCKR require an external feedback resistor network?
No, the TPS71523DCKR is a fixed-output variant and does not use the FB pin. Its output is internally set to 2.3 V. The FB pin is not present in the fixed-version pinout-pins 1 and 3 are NC, pin 2 is GND, pin 4 is IN, and pin 5 is OUT. External resistors are only required for adjustable versions like TPS71501.
What output capacitor value is mandatory for stable operation of the TPS71523DCKR?
The TPS71523DCKR requires a minimum effective output capacitance of 0.47 μF, with ceramic dielectric strongly recommended. The datasheet specifies that nominal capacitor values must derate by 50%, so a 1-μF X7R ceramic capacitor (guaranteeing ≥0.5 μF effective capacitance at bias and temperature) meets the requirement and ensures robust transient response and phase margin.
How does the TPS71523DCKR behave during thermal overload?
The TPS71523DCKR does not include thermal shutdown protection. Under sustained overload (e.g., high IOUT at elevated ambient), junction temperature rises per RθJB = 40.7°C/W. If TJ exceeds 150°C (absolute max), permanent damage may occur. Designers must ensure power dissipation [(VIN – 2.3 V) × IOUT] stays within safe limits using adequate PCB copper and ambient derating.
Is the TPS71523DCKR compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the TPS71523DCKR is RoHS-compliant and qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles, including JEDEC J-STD-020D. Its SC70-5 package has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 1, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/85% RH without baking prior to assembly-simplifying manufacturing logistics for high-reliability production.
