Product details
Overview
TPS71709DSETG4 from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output, 0.9 V low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) with ultra-high PSRR (70 dB at 1 kHz), 170 mV typical dropout at 150 mA, 30 µVRMS output noise (100 Hz–100 kHz), and 45 µA ground current - designed for powering noise-sensitive analog and RF circuits in space-constrained portable devices such as camera sensors and Bluetooth modules.
For engineers reviewing the TPS71709DSETG4 datasheet, TPS71709DSETG4 pinout, TPS71709DSETG4 application, or TPS71709DSETG4 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package mapping to the 1.5-mm × 1.5-mm WSON-6 (DSE) package, validated pin functions, real-world application context, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented technical and application differences.
Technical Context
The TPS71709DSETG4 uses a PMOS pass device and advanced BiCMOS process to achieve fast startup, excellent transient response, and stable regulation with only a 1-µF ceramic output capacitor. Its high-gain error amplifier enables 70 dB PSRR at 1 kHz while maintaining low noise via an integrated noise reduction (NR) pin that filters bandgap reference noise.
This fixed 0.9 V version includes a dedicated NR pin (Pin 3 in DSE package) for external 0.01 µF capacitor connection, enabling 30 µVRMS noise performance and improved PSRR above 10 kHz. It features undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 2.45 V rising threshold and 150 mV hysteresis, thermal shutdown at 160°C, and internal current limiting (200–575 mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 0.9 V ±3.0% over load, line, temperature, and process - ensures stable core voltage for low-voltage logic and analog sensors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 6.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V), USB (5 V), and multi-rail systems without pre-regulation. |
| Dropout Voltage | 170 mV typical at 150 mA - enables operation with minimal headroom, critical for battery-powered 1.0 V–1.2 V system rails. |
| PSRR | 70 dB at 1 kHz, 67 dB at 100 kHz, 45 dB at 1 MHz - suppresses switching noise from DC/DC converters feeding sensitive RF/analog stages. |
| Output Noise | 30 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz) with 0.01 µF NR capacitor - meets stringent noise requirements of image sensors and ADCs. |
| Ground Current | 45 µA typical at light load - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and standby modes. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(high) = 1.2 V min - compatible with 1.8 V and 3.3 V GPIOs; VEN(low) ≤ 0.4 V ensures full shutdown. |
Pinout & Package
TPS71709DSETG4 is packaged in a thermally enhanced 1.5-mm × 1.5-mm, 6-pin WSON (DSE) package with exposed thermal pad. Pin 5 is GND; Pin 6 is IN; Pin 1 is OUT; Pin 4 is EN; Pin 3 is NR (Noise Reduction); Pin 2 is N/C (no connection, may be tied to GND for thermal improvement).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 6) | Regulator input supply | Accepts 2.5–6.5 V; requires 0.1–1 µF ceramic decoupling close to pin for stability and EMI suppression. |
| OUT (Pin 1) | Regulated 0.9 V output | Delivers up to 150 mA; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND for loop stability and transient response. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Power and signal reference | Primary return path; must be low-impedance; connects to thermal pad for optimal power dissipation. |
| EN (Pin 4) | Active-high enable control | Drives high (>1.2 V) to activate regulator; pulls low (<0.4 V) to reduce quiescent current to 0.2–1.5 µA. |
| NR (Pin 3) | Noise reduction filter node | Connects to 0.01 µF ceramic capacitor to GND to reduce bandgap noise and improve PSRR above 10 kHz. |
| N/C (Pin 2) | No connection | Internally unconnected; may be soldered to PCB ground plane to enhance thermal performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low noise with NR pin | 30 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz) achieved via dedicated NR pin and 0.01 µF capacitor - eliminates need for post-LDO filtering in precision analog paths. |
| High PSRR across frequency | 70 dB at 1 kHz and 67 dB at 100 kHz - rejects ripple from switching regulators without requiring large LC filters. |
| Fast startup with quick-start circuit | Startup time ≤160 µs (for VOUT ≥1.6 V) enabled by internal 135 µs quick-start switch charging NR capacitor - supports rapid wake-up in sensor hubs. |
| Stable at zero load | Maintains regulation with no output load due to low-current mode circuitry - avoids output voltage drift in intermittent-sampling applications. |
| Thermal and current protection | Auto-shutdown at 160°C junction temperature and restart at 140°C; internal current limit (200–575 mA) prevents damage during short-circuit events. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPL71709PDSER | Same 0.9 V output, 150 mA rating, and 1.5-mm × 1.5-mm WSON-6 package; lower 25 µA typical IQ, but PSRR reduced to 60 dB at 1 kHz and 35 dB at 1 MHz. | Better suited for ultra-low-power sleep modes where PSRR >60 dB is not required; less effective in RF-noise-heavy environments. | Select when lowest possible quiescent current dominates over PSRR and noise performance. |
| TPS7A0509PDBVR | 0.9 V fixed output, SOT-23-5 package (2.9 mm × 1.6 mm); higher 200 mA current limit, but 200 mV dropout at 150 mA and 40 µVRMS noise (no NR pin). | Offers higher current headroom and smaller footprint than SC70 but lacks NR pin - cannot match 30 µVRMS noise or 70 dB PSRR. | Select when board space permits SOT-23 and noise/PSRR requirements are relaxed to ≤40 µVRMS. |
Compared with TPL71709PDSER and TPS7A0509PDBVR, the TPS71709DSETG4 uniquely delivers 70 dB PSRR at 1 kHz and 30 µVRMS noise in the smallest 1.5-mm × 1.5-mm WSON package - making it the only choice for compact, noise-critical RF and imaging applications demanding both size and performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the TPS71709DSETG4?
The TPS71709DSETG4 is rated for continuous output current up to 150 mA under recommended operating conditions. Its internal current limit activates at 200–575 mA depending on input voltage and temperature, providing fault protection without external components. For sustained 150 mA operation, ensure junction temperature remains ≤125°C using appropriate PCB copper area and thermal vias under the exposed pad.
Does the TPS71709DSETG4 require an external noise reduction capacitor?
Yes - the TPS71709DSETG4 includes a dedicated NR (noise reduction) pin (Pin 3) that must be connected to a 0.01 µF ceramic capacitor to GND to achieve its specified 30 µVRMS output noise and optimal PSRR above 10 kHz. Omitting this capacitor degrades noise performance to ~95 × VOUT µVRMS and reduces high-frequency PSRR by up to 25 dB.
What package type and dimensions does the TPS71709DSETG4 use?
The TPS71709DSETG4 uses the DSE package: a 1.5-mm × 1.5-mm, 6-pin WSON with exposed thermal pad. This package is distinct from the larger 2-mm × 2-mm WSON (DRV) and 5-pin SC70 (DCK) variants in the TPS717 family. The DSE variant offers the smallest footprint and best thermal resistance (RθJB = 149.3°C/W) among available options.
Can the TPS71709DSETG4 operate with zero load current?
Yes - the TPS71709DSETG4 maintains stable regulation down to 0 mA output current thanks to an integrated low-current mode circuit that preserves loop gain under no-load conditions. This eliminates output voltage drift during sensor sleep cycles and avoids the need for minimum load resistors, reducing power waste in battery-powered designs.
What is the purpose of the N/C pin on the TPS71709DSETG4?
Pin 2 of the TPS71709DSETG4 is labeled N/C (no connection) and is internally unconnected. While not electrically functional, it may be soldered directly to the PCB ground plane to improve thermal conduction from the package body - lowering junction-to-board thermal resistance by up to 5°C/W in typical layouts with 2 oz copper and 6 thermal vias.
