Product details
Overview
TPS71712DCKTG4 from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output, 1.2-V, 150-mA low-dropout linear regulator in SC-70-5 package, featuring 70 dB PSRR at 1 kHz, 170 mV dropout at full load, and 30 µVRMS output noise (100 Hz–100 kHz). It delivers stable power to noise-sensitive analog and RF circuits in space-constrained portable systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS71712DCKTG4 datasheet, TPS71712DCKTG4 pinout, TPS71712DCKTG4 application, or TPS71712DCKTG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low noise performance with 1-µF ceramic output capacitance, enable-controlled shutdown with <1.5 µA quiescent current, and compatibility with 0.01-µF noise-reduction capacitor for optimized spectral purity in camera sensor and Bluetooth® power rails.
Technical Context
The TPS71712DCKTG4 employs a PMOS pass device and high-gain BiCMOS error amplifier to achieve fast transient response and high PSRR across 100 Hz–1 MHz while maintaining only 45 µA ground current under no-load conditions. Its quick-start circuit charges the NR capacitor within 160 µs, enabling rapid power-up without compromising low-noise operation.
Fixed-output architecture integrates a precision 1.2-V bandgap reference and internal feedback network, eliminating external resistors. The NR pin bypasses reference noise and improves PSRR above 10 kHz; its high-impedance node requires low-leakage ceramic capacitors (≤0.01 µF) for optimal startup timing and noise suppression.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2 V ±3% over –40°C to 125°C, load, line, and process variation - ensures stable bias for precision ADCs and RF front-ends. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA continuous - supports single-sensor or dual-peripheral loads in compact handheld devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 170 mV typical at 150 mA - enables operation from 1.37-V input (e.g., single Li-ion cell post-regulation). |
| PSRR | 70 dB at 1 kHz, 67 dB at 100 kHz, 45 dB at 1 MHz - suppresses switching noise from DC/DC converters feeding mixed-signal SoCs. |
| Output Noise | 30 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz) with CNR = 0.01 µF - meets stringent requirements for image sensor analog supply rails. |
| Ground Current | 45 µA typical at no load, 100 µA at 150 mA - extends battery life in always-on wearable and IoT edge nodes. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(HIGH) = 1.2 V min - compatible with 1.8-V and 3.3-V GPIOs without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
TPS71712DCKTG4 is housed in a 5-pin SC-70 (DCK) package measuring 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm, optimized for high-density PCB layouts in mobile and portable electronics.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.5–6.5 V; requires 0.1–1 µF ceramic decoupling close to pin for stability and EMI reduction. |
| 2 GND | Power ground reference | Low-impedance return path for regulator core and output capacitor; must connect directly to PCB ground plane. |
| 3 EN | Active-high enable control | Drives >1.2 V to activate; pulls ≤0.4 V to enter shutdown (<1.5 µA ISHDN); internally pulled down when floating. |
| 4 NR | Noise reduction filter node | Connects to 0.01 µF ceramic capacitor to ground; filters bandgap reference noise and boosts PSRR above 10 kHz. |
| 5 OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 1.2 V ±3%; requires ≥1 µF ceramic output capacitor (X5R/X7R) placed adjacent to pin for loop stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low output noise | 30 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz) with 0.01 µF NR capacitor - enables clean power for CMOS image sensors and RF synthesizers. |
| High PSRR bandwidth | 70 dB at 1 kHz, sustained >45 dB up to 1 MHz - rejects ripple from buck converters operating at 500 kHz–2 MHz. |
| Fast startup time | 160 µs typical with 0.01 µF NR capacitor - meets tight power sequencing windows in multi-rail SoC systems. |
| Low-quiescent-current shutdown | <1.5 µA ISHDN over –40°C to 85°C - preserves battery charge during deep-sleep modes in portable instrumentation. |
| Thermal & current protection | 160°C thermal shutdown with 20°C hysteresis and foldback current limit - prevents damage during overload or poor heatsinking. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS79512DBVR | Same 1.2-V fixed output, but larger SOT-23-5 package (2.92 × 1.62 mm); 120 µA IQ vs 45 µA; 60 dB PSRR at 1 kHz. | Higher quiescent current reduces battery runtime in always-on wearables; larger footprint limits use in ultra-thin designs. | Select when legacy SOT-23 layout reuse is prioritized over size/noise; verify thermal derating due to higher RθJA. |
| MCP1700T-1202E/TT | 1.2-V fixed output in SOT-23-5; 1.6-µA IQ but only 50 mA max output; 40 dB PSRR at 1 kHz; no NR pin. | Insufficient current for camera sensors or Wi-Fi transceivers; lacks noise-reduction capability for RF-sensitive apps. | Choose only for micro-power sensor nodes with sub-50-mA loads where PSRR >60 dB is not required. |
Compared with TPS71712DCKTG4, TPS79512DBVR trades 25 dB PSRR and 75 µA higher IQ for SOT-23 compatibility, while MCP1700T-1202E/TT sacrifices 100 mA output capacity and noise performance for nano-power operation - neither matches the TPS71712DCKTG4's combination of ultra-low noise, 150-mA capability, and SC-70 miniaturization.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for TPS71712DCKTG4 to regulate at 1.2 V?
The TPS71712DCKTG4 requires a minimum input voltage of 2.5 V per datasheet specifications, which exceeds the theoretical dropout requirement (1.2 V + 0.17 V = 1.37 V) to ensure guaranteed operation across temperature, process, and load variations. This 2.5-V minimum ensures stable regulation and full PSRR performance even under worst-case conditions.
Can TPS71712DCKTG4 operate without an output capacitor?
No, the TPS71712DCKTG4 requires a minimum 1-µF ceramic output capacitor connected between OUT and GND for stability. Omitting this capacitor causes oscillation and unregulated output. X5R or X7R dielectrics are recommended; tantalum or aluminum electrolytics are not suitable due to ESR and aging effects.
Is the NR pin mandatory for TPS71712DCKTG4 operation?
No, the NR pin is optional but highly recommended for noise-sensitive applications. Leaving NR open degrades PSRR above 10 kHz and increases output noise by up to 3×. For lowest noise, connect a 0.01-µF ceramic capacitor from NR to GND; larger values slow startup without improving noise.
Does TPS71712DCKTG4 support reverse current protection?
No, the TPS71712DCKTG4 does not integrate reverse current protection. Its PMOS pass transistor includes a body diode that conducts if VOUT > VIN, potentially causing backfeed. External protection (e.g., series Schottky diode or ideal diode controller) is required in systems where output voltage may exceed input.
What is the thermal shutdown behavior of TPS71712DCKTG4?
The TPS71712DCKTG4 activates thermal shutdown at approximately 160°C junction temperature and resets at ~140°C. During cycling, output disables completely until cooling occurs. Continuous thermal cycling indicates inadequate PCB copper area or excessive ambient temperature - design must maintain TJ ≤125°C under worst-case load and ambient conditions.
