Product details
Overview
TPS76301DBVRG4 from Texas Instruments is a 150mA, low-dropout linear voltage regulator with fixed 3.0V output, 2.7V–10V input range, ±1.0% output accuracy (new chip), 175mV typical dropout at 150mA, and active over-shoot pulldown protection - used in battery-powered smoke detectors, thermostats, and PIR motion sensors.
For engineers reviewing the TPS76301DBVRG4 datasheet, TPS76301DBVRG4 pinout, TPS76301DBVRG4 application, or TPS76301DBVRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include quiescent current (65μA at zero load), enable logic thresholds (0.15V low / 0.85V high), thermal shutdown, and SOT-23-5 package compatibility for space-constrained IoT sensor nodes.
Technical Context
The TPS76301DBVRG4 implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout and stable operation with ceramic output capacitors ≥1µF. Its internal soft-start reduces inrush current during power-up, allowing smaller input capacitance without compromising startup integrity.
It features a dedicated enable pin (EN) with precise voltage thresholds (0.15V max low, 0.85V min high), logic-controlled sleep mode reducing standby current to ≤1.25μA, and integrated thermal shutdown + overcurrent limiting - all operating across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0V ±1.0% (typical, new chip) - ensures tight regulation for 3.3V-tolerant microcontrollers and analog sensors. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA - sufficient for low-power MCU cores, RF transceivers, and sensor signal chains in portable devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 175mV (typical) at 150mA - enables regulation from 3.175V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or 3.3V rail backup. |
| Quiescent Current | 65μA at IOUT = 0mA - minimizes battery drain in always-on monitoring applications like smoke detectors. |
| Enable Thresholds | EN low ≤0.15V, EN high ≥0.85V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIOs and supports direct connection to microcontroller wake signals. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C junction - validated for industrial and automotive cabin environments without derating. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 178.6°C/W (SOT-23-5) - allows ~350mW power dissipation at 25°C ambient before reaching 125°C junction limit. |
Pinout & Package
TPS76301DBVRG4 is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, 2.9mm × 2.8mm footprint, with exposed pad not electrically connected. Thermal performance optimized for PCB copper pour on GND-connected pads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN | Input supply | Accepts 2.7V–10V; requires ≥0.47µF ceramic input capacitor close to pin for stability. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for load and quiescent current; must connect directly to low-impedance ground plane. |
| 3 - EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input; drives high (>0.85V) to enable regulator, low (<0.15V) to reduce IQ to ≤1.25μA. |
| 4 - NC | No connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines - not FB (adjustable version only). |
| 5 - OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 3.0V ±1.0%; requires ≥1µF (≥2.2µF recommended) ceramic output capacitor with ESR <1Ω. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Active over-shoot pulldown | Clamps output voltage during fast input dropouts to prevent downstream IC latch-up or reset glitches. |
| Internal soft-start | Controls output ramp rate to limit inrush current, eliminating need for external soft-start circuitry or oversized input caps. |
| Logic-enable sleep mode | Reduces total system quiescent current to ≤1.25μA when disabled - extends shelf life of battery-powered security sensors. |
| Stable with ceramic capacitors | Supports 1µF–220µF ceramic output caps without requiring ESR-based damping, simplifying BOM and layout. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown and foldback current limiting prevent damage during sustained overload or ambient overheating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS76330DBVR | Same family, identical pinout and specs; G4 suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, green packaging - no electrical difference. | No functional difference; both qualified for same industrial temperature range and applications. | Select TPS76330DBVR if RoHS compliance documentation is required; otherwise TPS76301DBVRG4 is functionally identical. |
| MCP1700T-3002E/TT | 150mA, 3.0V fixed, but higher dropout (600mV @ 150mA), higher IQ (1.6μA), no EN pin, SOT-23-3 package. | Lacks enable control and over-shoot pulldown; suitable only for always-on, non-critical applications with ample headroom. | Choose only if board space is constrained to 3-pin footprint and enable functionality is unnecessary. |
Compared with TPS76301DBVRG4, TPS76330DBVR offers identical performance with updated environmental compliance, while MCP1700T-3002E/TT trades enable control, lower dropout, and pulldown protection for reduced pin count and cost - making it viable only where those features are omitted by design.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the TPS76301DBVRG4 over temperature and load?
The TPS76301DBVRG4 delivers 3.0V output with ±1.0% typical accuracy across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and 1mA–150mA load current (new chip specification). This is confirmed in Section 5.5 of the datasheet under "VOUT Output voltage TPS76301 (for new chip)" with test conditions including TJ = 25°C and VIN = VOUT(nom) + 1.0V.
Does the TPS76301DBVRG4 require an external feedback resistor network?
No, the TPS76301DBVRG4 is a fixed-output variant - pin 4 is NC (no connection), not FB. The feedback divider is internal; no external resistors are needed. Only adjustable versions (e.g., TPS76333) use the FB pin, and those have different part numbers and pin functions.
What is the minimum input capacitance required for stable operation of the TPS76301DBVRG4?
The TPS76301DBVRG4 requires a minimum 0.47µF ceramic input capacitor placed close to the IN and GND pins. This value is specified in Section 5.3 "Recommended Operating Conditions" for new chips and ensures stability during transient load steps and line regulation.
Can the TPS76301DBVRG4 be used with a 1µF output capacitor?
Yes - the TPS76301DBVRG4 is stable with output capacitance as low as 1µF (ceramic, ESR <1Ω), per Section 5.3. However, 2.2µF is recommended to improve PSRR and transient response, especially under dynamic loads up to 150mA.
What protection features are integrated into the TPS76301DBVRG4?
The TPS76301DBVRG4 integrates thermal shutdown, overcurrent limiting (foldback), and active over-shoot pulldown protection. These are explicitly listed in Section 1 "Features" and verified in Sections 5.1 (Absolute Maximum Ratings) and 5.5 (Electrical Characteristics) for the new chip revision.
