Product details
Overview
TPS76425DBVR from Texas Instruments is a 2.5-V fixed-output, 150-mA low-dropout linear regulator with PMOS pass element, 50 µV typical output noise, 300 mV dropout at 150 mA, and 85 µA typical quiescent current-designed for battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable low-noise bias for RF front-ends and precision analog circuitry.
For engineers reviewing the TPS76425DBVR datasheet, TPS76425DBVR pinout, TPS76425DBVR application, or TPS76425DBVR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOT-23 (DBV) package details, functional pin roles, low-noise LDO design considerations, and validated alternative parts for space-constrained, low-power systems operating from –40°C to 125°C.
Technical Context
The TPS76425DBVR employs a voltage-driven PMOS pass transistor-replacing conventional PNP elements-to achieve load-independent quiescent current (≤140 µA) and dropout voltage directly proportional to load (e.g., 300 mV at 150 mA). Its internal bypass filter (0.01 µF on BYPASS pin) reduces output noise to 50 µV RMS (300 Hz–50 kHz).
It integrates thermal shutdown (trip at ~165°C, auto-recovery at ~140°C), foldback current limiting (~0.8–1.5 A), and reverse-current protection via the PMOS body diode. The enable input (EN) supports logic-level shutdown, reducing quiescent current to ≤1 µA at TJ = 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V ±2.5% (2.438–2.562 V at 1–150 mA, TJ = 25°C); tight regulation enables direct powering of 2.5-V ADCs and PLLs without post-regulation filtering. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA continuous; sufficient for single-core microcontrollers, RF transceivers, or sensor signal chains in portable devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 300 mV typical at 150 mA (VI ≥ VO + 1 V); allows operation down to 2.8 V input for 2.5 V output-extending battery life in single-cell Li-ion or dual-cell alkaline systems. |
| Output Noise | 50 µV RMS (300 Hz–50 kHz); achieved via internal BYPASS pin low-pass filter; critical for noise-sensitive analog/RF stages like VCOs and LNA bias rails. |
| Quiescent Current | 85 µA typical (0–150 mA load); stable over full load range due to PMOS gate-drive architecture-enables multi-day standby in always-on IoT sensors. |
| Shutdown Current | ≤1 µA at TJ = 25°C when EN < 0.5 V; ensures negligible battery drain during system sleep modes. |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to 125°C junction temperature; qualified for automotive cabin and industrial edge-node environments. |
Pinout & Package
TPS76425DBVR is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package-1.6 mm × 2.9 mm footprint, 1.1 mm height-with gull-wing leads optimized for automated assembly and thermal performance (RθJA = 259 °C/W on low-K board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input supply voltage | Accepts 2.7–10 V DC; minimum VI = VO + 1 V or 2.7 V, whichever is greater-supports wide-input battery and adapter sources. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for IN, OUT, EN, and BYPASS; requires low-impedance PCB plane connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 (EN) | Enable input | Active-high logic control (VIH ≥ 1.4 V, VIL ≤ 0.5 V); pulls internal regulator into <1 µA shutdown state when low-enables system-level power sequencing. |
| 4 (OUT) | Regulated output voltage | Delivers stable 2.5 V to load; requires ≥4.7 µF output capacitor (ESR 0.2–10 Ω) for loop stability per datasheet guidelines. |
| 5 (BYPASS) | Output bypass capacitor terminal | Connects to 0.01 µF ceramic cap to ground; forms internal low-pass filter that reduces reference noise-key to achieving 50 µV output noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PMOS Pass Element Architecture | Enables constant quiescent current across 0–150 mA load and ultra-low dropout (300 mV @ 150 mA), unlike PNP-based LDOs whose IQ rises with load. |
| Integrated Bypass Filter | Internal 1.192-V reference node accessed via BYPASS pin; external 0.01 µF cap creates noise-reduction pole-directly enabling 50 µV RMS output noise. |
| Thermal & Current Protection | Auto-recovering thermal shutdown (165°C trip) and foldback current limit (~0.8 A) prevent damage during overload or high ambient conditions without external circuitry. |
| Logic-Controlled Shutdown | EN pin reduces total device current to ≤1 µA-critical for energy harvesting nodes and battery-backed real-time clocks requiring nanoampere standby. |
| Reverse-Current Protection | PMOS body diode conducts safely from OUT to IN during input brownout-eliminates need for external blocking diode in backup-supply applications. |

| Wireless Sensor Node Power Rail | Portable Medical Instrument Bias |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise, low-quiescent-current LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS78225DRVR | Lower IQ (0.5 µA typ), same 2.5 V output, but higher dropout (400 mV @ 150 mA) and no BYPASS pin-no integrated noise filter. | Better for ultra-long-life coin-cell applications; unsuitable where 50 µV noise is mandatory (e.g., RF bias). | Select TPS78225DRVR only if nanoampere shutdown dominates over noise performance. |
| MCP1703T-2502E/MB | 2.5 V fixed, 250 mA output, 6 µA IQ, but 600 mV dropout @ 250 mA and 90 µV noise-higher noise, larger dropout, different package (SOT-23-5 compatible but not identical pinout). | Higher current capability suits more demanding loads; higher noise limits use in precision analog. | Choose MCP1703T-2502E/MB when >150 mA is required and 90 µV noise is acceptable. |
Compared with TPS76425DBVR, TPS78225DRVR offers superior shutdown current but sacrifices noise performance and dropout; MCP1703T-2502E/MB provides higher current and lower IQ but increases dropout and noise-making TPS76425DBVR optimal for 2.5-V, low-noise, moderate-current portable analog rails.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the TPS76425DBVR?
The absolute maximum input voltage for the TPS76425DBVR is 10 V. Exceeding this value-even momentarily-may cause permanent damage. For reliable operation, the recommended input voltage range is 2.7 V to 10 V, with minimum VI defined as VO(typ) + 1 V (i.e., 3.5 V for the 2.5-V TPS76425DBVR) or 2.7 V, whichever is greater. This ensures proper regulation and avoids dropout violation.
Does the TPS76425DBVR require an external bypass capacitor, and why?
Yes, the TPS76425DBVR requires a 0.01 µF ceramic capacitor between the BYPASS pin and GND to achieve its specified 50 µV output noise. This capacitor forms a low-pass filter with the internal reference node (1.192 V), suppressing reference noise before it modulates the output. Omitting it degrades noise performance significantly-measurements show >2× increase in RMS noise without the BYPASS cap.
Can the TPS76425DBVR be used without connecting the EN pin?
Yes-the EN pin can be left unconnected or tied directly to IN for always-on operation. Since EN is active-high and has negligible input current (<0.5 µA), floating it is electrically safe and results in normal regulator function. However, tying EN to IN is preferred for robustness against noise-induced shutdown in noisy environments. Do not leave EN floating in high-EMI applications without verification.
What output capacitor is required for stable operation of the TPS76425DBVR?
The TPS76425DBVR requires a minimum 4.7 µF output capacitor with ESR between 0.2 Ω and 10 Ω. Solid tantalum, aluminum electrolytic, or multilayer ceramic capacitors meeting these specs are acceptable. A 4.7 µF/6.3 V X5R ceramic capacitor (e.g., 0805 case) is commonly used. Capacitor selection directly impacts transient response and loop stability-deviating from ESR range risks oscillation or poor load regulation.
Is the TPS76425DBVR pin-compatible with other members of the TPS764xx family?
Yes, all TPS764xx variants-including TPS76425DBVR, TPS76427DBVR, and TPS76433DBVR-share identical 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) packaging and pinout (IN, GND, EN, OUT, BYPASS). This allows drop-in replacement across output voltages (2.5 V to 3.3 V) without PCB layout changes, provided input voltage and load requirements remain within spec for the selected variant.
