Product details
Overview
TPS72013YZUT from Texas Instruments is a 350 mA ultra-low VIN, RF-optimized low-dropout linear regulator with dual-rail bias architecture, delivering 1.3 V output at ±2% accuracy over –40°C to 125°C, 110 mV dropout at full load, and 48 μVRMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz) for powering RF analog circuits in portable wireless systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS72013YZUT datasheet, TPS72013YZUT pinout, TPS72013YZUT application, or TPS72013YZUT equivalent, key selection criteria include its bias-supplied control rail (VBIAS ≥ VOUT + 1.4 V), ultra-low 38 μA quiescent current, monotonic 140 μs startup with inrush-limited VIN, and stability with 2.2 μF ceramic output capacitance.
Technical Context
The TPS72013YZUT employs a BICMOS-based NMOS pass transistor with separate VIN (power path) and VBIAS (control circuit supply) rails, enabling high PSRR (80 dB at 10 kHz on VIN, 70 dB on VBIAS) while maintaining efficiency in low-headroom applications where VIN can be as low as VOUT + 0.5 V. Its internal bandgap reference and feedback loop ensure 2% total output accuracy across load, line, temperature, and process variations.
It features dual transient response optimization: ±15 mV load transient deviation (0 → 350 mA in 1 μs) and ±200 μV line transient deviation (±400 mV VIN step in 1 μs), enabled by wide-bandwidth error amplifier and bias-rail decoupling. The device supports light-load regulation with IN floating (≤500 μA sourced from VBIAS), making it suitable for dynamic power-state sequencing in battery-powered RF subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.3 V nominal, factory-programmed via EEPROM; ±2% tolerance over full operating range ensures stable core voltage for RF transceivers and baseband ICs. |
| Max Output Current | 350 mA continuous; enables single-regulator power delivery to multi-block RF SoCs without external current boosting. |
| Dropout Voltage | 110 mV at 350 mA (VIN = VOUT + 0.5 V); allows operation from tightly regulated DC-DC outputs (e.g., 1.8 V input → 1.3 V output) with minimal power loss. |
| Quiescent Current | 38 μA typical; reduces standby power in always-on RF receivers and sensor nodes, extending battery life in handheld devices. |
| Output Noise | 48 μVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz); meets stringent phase-noise requirements for local oscillators and ADC reference supplies in cellular/WLAN front-ends. |
| PSRR (VIN) | 80 dB at 10 kHz; suppresses switching ripple from upstream DC-DC converters, preventing AM-to-PM distortion in RF power amplifiers. |
| Startup Time | 140 μs to 95% of VOUT; supports fast wake-up in burst-mode communication protocols (e.g., Bluetooth LE, Zigbee) without output overshoot (>3%). |
Pinout & Package
TPS72013YZUT is packaged in a 1.33 mm × 0.96 mm, 5-ball DSBGA (YZU) package with bottom-side thermal pad. This ultra-compact footprint targets space-constrained mobile camera modules and wearable RF sensors.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT (A3) | Regulated output | Delivers 1.3 V to load; requires 2.2 μF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability and transient response. |
| EN (C3) | Enable control input | Active-high logic interface (1.1 V threshold); connects to host MCU GPIO for precise power sequencing and sleep-mode control. |
| BIAS (C1) | Bias supply rail | Powers internal control circuitry; must be ≥ VOUT + 1.4 V (≥2.7 V) and ≤5.5 V; bypassed with 0.1 μF capacitor for PSRR optimization. |
| GND (B2) | Ground reference | Common return for IN, OUT, BIAS, and EN; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane for noise immunity. |
| IN (A1) | Main power input | Low-voltage power path (1.1 V to 4.5 V); can float during light-load operation; bypassed with 1 μF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Monotonic VOUT rise with VIN inrush limit | Start-up current capped at 100 mA + ILOAD, limiting output overshoot to ≤3% and preventing damage to downstream 1.3 V logic. |
| Light-load regulation with IN floating | Supplies up to 500 μA from VBIAS when IN is disconnected-enables retention mode in microcontrollers while disabling upstream DC-DC converter. |
| Dual-rail PSRR architecture | 80 dB VIN PSRR + 70 dB VBIAS PSRR at 10 kHz isolates sensitive RF analog blocks from both power-path and control-rail noise sources. |
| Thermal & overcurrent protection | Internally limits output current to 420–800 mA and shuts down at 160°C junction temperature, ensuring robustness in thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
| Ultra-low noise output | 48 μVRMS noise floor enables direct powering of RF synthesizers and high-resolution ADCs without additional filtering stages. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS72015YZUT | Fixed 1.5 V output; identical pinout, package, and electrical specs except VOUT and associated bias voltage minimum (VBIAS ≥ VOUT + 1.4 V = 2.9 V). | Used where system requires 1.5 V core voltage instead of 1.3 V; shares same PCB layout and thermal design. | Select when target SoC or ASIC specifies 1.5 V nominal supply; no redesign needed beyond output capacitor recalibration. |
| TPS79513DCQ | Single-rail 1.3 V LDO in SOT-223; higher 260 μA IQ, 300 mV dropout at 350 mA, no VBIAS pin, larger 6.5 mm² footprint. | Lacks bias-rail architecture and ultra-low-noise performance; suitable for cost-sensitive non-RF applications with relaxed PSRR/noise requirements. | Choose only if board space and RF performance are not constraints; avoid in WLAN/cellular designs due to inferior 45 μVRMS noise and 60 dB PSRR at 10 kHz. |
Compared with TPS72013YZUT, TPS72015YZUT offers identical RF-grade performance at 1.5 V output, while TPS79513DCQ trades noise/PSRR for lower cost and simpler single-rail operation-making TPS72013YZUT the optimal choice for space-constrained, noise-sensitive 1.3 V RF power domains.

FAQ
What is the minimum required VBIAS voltage for stable operation of the TPS72013YZUT?
The TPS72013YZUT requires VBIAS ≥ VOUT + 1.4 V or 2.5 V, whichever is greater. For its 1.3 V output, this means VBIAS must be ≥2.7 V. Operation below this threshold triggers undervoltage lockout (UVLO), holding the output disabled until VBIAS rises above 2.49 V with 150 mV hysteresis. This ensures reliable startup and regulation in RF power trees where bias rails may ramp independently.
Can the TPS72013YZUT regulate when the IN pin is left unconnected?
Yes-the TPS72013YZUT supports light-load regulation with IN floating, sourcing up to 500 μA from the VBIAS rail to maintain 1.3 V output. This feature is explicitly designed for power-saving modes where upstream DC-DC converters are disabled but the LDO must retain voltage for memory or sensor bias. It is not intended for full-load operation; output current must remain ≤500 μA in this mode.
What output capacitor value and type are required for stability with the TPS72013YZUT?
The TPS72013YZUT is stable with a minimum 2.2 μF ceramic output capacitor-X5R or X7R dielectrics are recommended for minimal ESR (<250 mΩ) and temperature drift. Larger values improve transient response but are not required. Unlike many LDOs, it does not require tantalum or electrolytic capacitors and rejects standard MLCC aging effects through its advanced control loop.
How does the TPS72013YZUT achieve its 48 μVRMS low-noise performance?
The TPS72013YZUT achieves 48 μVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) noise through a combination of precision bandgap reference, low-noise error amplifier, and optimized internal biasing-all fabricated on TI's advanced BICMOS process. No external noise-reduction capacitor is needed, unlike older LDOs requiring CNR pins. This makes the TPS72013YZUT ideal for powering RF synthesizers and high-resolution ADCs without added BOM cost or board area.
Is the TPS72013YZUT pin-compatible with other devices in the TPS720 family?
Yes-the TPS72013YZUT shares identical 5-ball DSBGA (YZU) package, pinout, and footprint with all YZU variants in the TPS720 family (e.g., TPS72015YZUT, TPS72018YZUT). This allows drop-in replacement across output voltages without PCB redesign, provided VBIAS and VIN operating conditions meet each variant's specifications. The EN, BIAS, IN, GND, and OUT pin assignments are fixed across the family.
