Product details
Overview
TPS76132DBVT from Texas Instruments is a 100-mA low-dropout linear regulator in SOT-23-5 package, delivering a fixed 3.2 V output with typical dropout of 170 mV at full load, quiescent current below 1 µA in shutdown, and operation across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature - designed for space-constrained battery-powered systems including portable instrumentation and wireless sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the TPS76132DBVT datasheet, TPS76132DBVT pinout, TPS76132DBVT application, or TPS76132DBVT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.2 V fixed output, ultra-low shutdown current, thermal/overcurrent protection, SOT-23 footprint compatibility, and input voltage range up to 16 V with 1.5 kV HBM ESD rating.
Technical Context
The TPS76132DBVT employs a BiCMOS process to achieve low quiescent current and stable regulation under light-to-full load conditions. Its internal architecture integrates enable control, thermal shutdown, and current limiting - all operating without external compensation components due to built-in stability with ≥4.7 µF output capacitance (ESR 0.1–10 Ω).
It features a dedicated EN pin for logic-controlled on/off functionality and includes an inherent reverse-current diode between IN and OUT. The device does not require an external bypass capacitor on the reference node and maintains regulation with input as low as 3.58 V (min recommended VI) while sustaining 100 mA output.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.2 V ±1.25% over load/temperature - ensures stable supply for 3.3 V I/O domain logic with margin. |
| Max Output Current | 100 mA continuous - supports microcontrollers, RF transceivers, and analog sensors in compact portable designs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 170 mV typical at 100 mA - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.4 V min) or two-cell alkaline (3.6 V min) sources. |
| Quiescent Current | <1 µA in shutdown mode - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications with periodic wake-up. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C junction - qualified for automotive cabin, industrial control, and outdoor IoT deployments. |
| ESD Rating | 1.5 kV HBM - provides robustness against handling and board-level electrostatic discharge during assembly and field use. |
| Noise Performance | 190 µVRMS (300 Hz–50 kHz) - suitable for noise-sensitive analog front-ends and precision ADC references. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.45 mm body, gull-wing leads, JEDEC MO-178 compliant, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 3.58 V to 16 V; requires ≥1 µF ceramic decoupling close to pin for high-frequency stability. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Common return path for input/output currents; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 - EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic interface; <0.8 V disables regulator (IQ <1 µA), >2 V enables normal operation. |
| 4 - NC | No internal connection | Unbonded die pad; must remain unconnected on PCB - no routing or copper pour allowed. |
| 5 - OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 3.2 V ±1.25%; requires ≥4.7 µF output capacitor (ESR 0.1–10 Ω) for loop stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Quiescent Current | 100–4000 µA across 0–100 mA load - minimizes standby power loss in energy-harvesting and coin-cell applications. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at ~160°C junction; auto-recovery at ~150°C - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Current Limit Protection | 100–135 mA peak limit - clamps output during short-circuit or excessive load, enabling safe fault recovery. |
| High PSRR | 63 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses ripple from noisy DC-DC converters or shared power rails feeding mixed-signal circuits. |
| Reverse Current Blocking | Inherent IN→OUT diode conducts only if VOUT > VIN + ~0.4 V - prevents backfeed in multi-rail systems but limits reverse-current tolerance to 150 mA. |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Industrial Wireless Transmitters |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-power LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS76133DBVT | Fixed 3.3 V output; 10 mV higher nominal voltage; identical dropout, quiescent current, and package. | Used where 3.3 V logic compatibility is mandatory (e.g., SPI peripherals with strict VIH thresholds). | Select when system-level voltage margin allows 3.3 V instead of 3.2 V - no PCB changes required. |
| MCP1700T-3202E/TT | 3.2 V output, 250 mA rating, 6 µA quiescent current (active), SOT-23-5 - higher IQ but wider input range (2.3–6.0 V). | Better suited for single-cell LiFePO₄ (max 3.6 V) or 3.3 V rail generation from low-VIN sources. | Choose for lower-input-voltage systems (<3.58 V); avoid if ultra-low shutdown current (<1 µA) is critical. |
Compared with TPS76132DBVT, TPS76133DBVT offers identical form-factor and protection features but targets 3.3 V logic domains, whereas MCP1700T-3202E/TT trades ultra-low shutdown current for broader input flexibility and higher output capability - making it suitable for different voltage-source constraints.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable operation of the TPS76132DBVT?
The TPS76132DBVT requires a minimum input voltage of 3.58 V under recommended operating conditions to maintain 3.2 V output at full 100 mA load. This value derives from the specified dropout voltage (170 mV typ.) plus output tolerance, ensuring regulation across temperature and line variations. Below this threshold, output voltage drops proportionally.
Does the TPS76132DBVT require an external capacitor on the EN pin?
No, the TPS76132DBVT does not require an external capacitor on the EN pin. The enable input is CMOS-compatible with TTL logic levels: it draws less than 1 µA when pulled low and 5 µA when pulled high. A simple pull-up resistor to IN or a clean logic signal suffices - adding capacitance may slow turn-on/turn-off timing unnecessarily.
Can the NC pin (Pin 4) of the TPS76132DBVT be connected to ground or left floating?
Pin 4 of the TPS76132DBVT is explicitly designated "No internal connection" and must remain unconnected - neither grounded nor tied to any net. Connecting it risks internal leakage paths or parasitic coupling. PCB layout must exclude copper, solder mask openings, or vias under this pin per TI's DBV package guidelines.
What is the maximum allowable output capacitance for the TPS76132DBVT?
The TPS76132DBVT datasheet specifies a minimum output capacitance of 4.7 µF but does not define a hard upper limit. However, large capacitors (>100 µF) may increase inrush current during startup and delay regulation settling. For most applications, 4.7–22 µF tantalum or ceramic capacitors with ESR between 0.1 Ω and 10 Ω ensure optimal transient response and stability.
Is the TPS76132DBVT pin-compatible with other devices in the TPS761xx family?
Yes, all TPS761xx variants - including TPS76130DBVT, TPS76132DBVT, TPS76133DBVT, TPS76138DBVT, and TPS76150DBVT - share identical SOT-23-5 (DBV) packaging and pinout. This allows direct substitution within the same footprint when output voltage requirements change, provided input voltage and load conditions remain within each variant's specification limits.
