Product details
Overview
TPS720115DRVR from Texas Instruments is a 350 mA ultra-low VIN, RF-optimized low-dropout linear regulator with dual-rail bias architecture. It delivers 1.15 V output at ±2% accuracy over –40°C to 125°C, features 110 mV dropout at full load, 48 μVRMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz), and supports light-load regulation with IN pin floating - enabling power-saving modes in portable RF systems such as cellular camera modules.
For engineers reviewing the TPS720115DRVR datasheet, TPS720115DRVR pinout, TPS720115DRVR application, or TPS720115DRVR equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-rail (VIN/VBIAS) operation, 38 μA quiescent current, 140 μs startup time, 80 dB VIN PSRR at 10 kHz, and compatibility with 2.2 μF ceramic output capacitors in space-constrained DSBGA-5 packaging.
Technical Context
The TPS720115DRVR employs an NMOS pass transistor with separate VIN and VBIAS rails: VIN supplies the main power path (as low as VOUT + 0.5 V), while VBIAS (≥2.5 V or VOUT + 1.4 V) powers the control circuitry. This architecture enables high efficiency in low-VOUT applications where VIN is derived from a high-efficiency DC-DC converter.
It integrates undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on the BIAS pin (2.41–2.49 V threshold), thermal shutdown (160°C trip), overcurrent protection, monotonic soft-start (100 mA + ILOAD inrush limit), and maintains regulation under ≤500 μA load even when VIN is floating - a feature critical for standby-mode retention in microcontroller-based wireless subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.15 V ±2% over load, line, temperature (–40°C to 125°C); factory-programmed via EEPROM |
| Max Output Current | 350 mA continuous; internal current limit 420–800 mA ensures robust fault handling |
| Dropout Voltage | 110 mV at 350 mA (VIN = VOUT + 0.1 V, VBIAS = VOUT + 1.4 V); enables operation with minimal headroom |
| Quiescent Current | 38 μA typical; enables battery-powered operation with multi-day standby life |
| Output Noise | 48 μVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz); suitable for noise-sensitive RF analog circuits (e.g., VCOs, ADCs) |
| PSRR | 80 dB at 10 kHz (VIN-referred); 70 dB at 100 kHz (VBIAS-referred); suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters |
| Startup Time | 140 μs to 95% of VOUT; supports fast wake-up in duty-cycled wireless systems |
Pinout & Package
TPS720115DRVR is packaged in a 1.36 mm × 0.96 mm DSBGA-5 (YZU) package with bottom-side solder balls. The thermal pad is not electrically connected and requires no external connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT (A3) | Regulated output | Delivers 1.15 V to load; requires 2.2 μF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability and transient response |
| NC (-) | No connection | Unbonded die pad; must remain unconnected on PCB |
| EN (C3) | Enable input | Active-high logic control (1.1 V min high, 0.4 V max low); connects to microcontroller GPIO for power sequencing |
| BIAS (C1) | Bias supply input | Powers internal control circuitry; must be ≥2.5 V or VOUT + 1.4 V; bypassed with 0.1 μF capacitor |
| GND (B2) | Ground reference | Common return for IN, BIAS, OUT, and EN; ties to PCB ground plane for noise immunity |
| IN (A1) | Main input supply | Primary power path; accepts 1.1 V to 4.5 V; can float during light-load standby while BIAS sustains regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail architecture (VIN + VBIAS) | Enables >20% efficiency gain vs single-rail LDOs when VIN is sourced from a DC-DC converter (e.g., TPS62xxx) |
| IN-pin floating light-load regulation | Maintains 1.15 V output with ≤500 μA load when VIN is disconnected - essential for MCU memory retention during deep sleep |
| Monotonic soft-start | Limits VIN inrush to 100 mA + ILOAD and caps VOUT overshoot to ≤3%, preventing system reset on power-up |
| Ultra-low noise & high PSRR | 48 μVRMS noise + 80 dB PSRR at 10 kHz enables direct powering of RF transceivers without additional filtering |
| Thermal & current protection | Integrated thermal shutdown (160°C) and current limiting (420–800 mA) prevent damage during short-circuit or overload events |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS72012DRVR | Fixed 1.2 V output (vs 1.15 V); identical pinout, package, and electrical specs otherwise | Suitable where system requires 1.2 V core rail instead of 1.15 V; no layout change needed | Select when 1.2 V matches SoC core voltage spec and tighter initial accuracy (±1% at 25°C) is prioritized |
| TPS79512DRVR | Single-rail (VIN-only) 1.2 V LDO; higher IQ (265 μA), no VBIAS pin, 170 mV dropout at 350 mA | Lacks IN-floating standby mode and dual-rail efficiency; simpler biasing but lower performance in RF apps | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-RF applications where 1.2 V is acceptable and ultra-low noise/PSRR is not required |
Compared with TPS720115DRVR, TPS72012DRVR offers identical architecture with a 50 mV higher output voltage and marginally better room-temperature accuracy, while TPS79512DRVR sacrifices RF-grade noise/PSRR and standby efficiency for lower unit cost and design simplicity.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for TPS720115DRVR to regulate at 1.15 V?
The TPS720115DRVR requires VIN ≥ VOUT + 0.5 V = 1.65 V under normal operation. However, it can maintain regulation with VIN floating if load ≤500 μA and VBIAS ≥2.5 V or VOUT + 1.4 V (i.e., ≥2.55 V). This dual-voltage flexibility is a defining feature of the TPS720115DRVR architecture.
Does TPS720115DRVR require an input capacitor on the IN pin?
No, the TPS720115DRVR does not require an input capacitor for stability. However, TI recommends a 0.1–1 μF low-ESR ceramic capacitor near the IN pin to improve transient response and reduce noise coupling - especially when the input source has high impedance or shares a rail with noisy switching converters feeding the TPS720115DRVR.
Can TPS720115DRVR be used with a 1.8 V input supply?
Yes - the TPS720115DRVR supports VIN up to 4.5 V, making 1.8 V a valid and commonly used input. When paired with a 1.8 V DC-DC converter (e.g., TPS62xxx), the TPS720115DRVR's dual-rail architecture achieves higher overall efficiency than single-rail LDOs, as VBIAS can be derived from a higher-voltage auxiliary rail (e.g., 3.3 V) while VIN remains at 1.8 V.
What is the purpose of the NC pin on TPS720115DRVR?
The NC (no-connect) pin on the TPS720115DRVR is an unbonded die pad with no internal connection. It must remain unconnected on the PCB layout - neither tied to GND nor left floating with traces. This mechanical placeholder ensures consistent DSBGA-5 package dimensions across the TPS720 family and avoids unintended parasitic coupling that could degrade RF performance in the TPS720115DRVR.
How does the enable pin (EN) behave during power sequencing?
The EN pin of the TPS720115DRVR is active-high with TTL/CMOS-compatible thresholds: device enables when EN ≥1.1 V and disables when EN ≤0.4 V. During sequencing, asserting EN after VIN and VBIAS are stable prevents inrush-related voltage droop. In shutdown, TPS720115DRVR draws only 0.5–2 μA, enabling precise power gating in multi-rail systems.
