Product details
Overview
TPS76630DR from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output 3.0V, 250mA low-dropout linear voltage regulator in an 8-pin SOIC package. It operates from 4.0V to 16V input, delivers ±3% output accuracy over load and temperature, features open-drain power-good signaling, and supports stable operation with ≥2.2µF output capacitance - used for powering microcontrollers and sensor bias rails in HVAC control modules.
For engineers reviewing the TPS76630DR datasheet, TPS76630DR pinout, TPS76630DR application, or TPS76630DR equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at full load (270mV typ), thermal shutdown threshold (173°C), enable logic compatibility (TTL/CMOS), PSRR at 1MHz (46dB), and support for small-ceramic-output-capacitor designs without external compensation.
Technical Context
The TPS76630DR implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout and high PSRR. Its internal soft-start (750µs typ) limits inrush current, while the open-drain PG output provides active-high power-good indication with 91–98.5% VOUT trip threshold and 0.45% hysteresis.
It integrates overcurrent limiting (0.725–0.8A typ), thermal shutdown (173°C trip, 157°C reset), and operates across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. The device draws only 55µA typical quiescent current at no load and reduces to 0.9µA in shutdown mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 3.0V ±3% over –40°C to +125°C and 10µA–250mA load |
| Input voltage range | 2.5V to 16V - supports 12V rail and transformer-derived supplies |
| Max output current | 250mA - sufficient for MCU cores, sensors, and interface ICs |
| Dropout voltage | 270mV typ at 250mA - enables regulation from 3.27V input |
| PSRR | 46dB at 1MHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters |
| Quiescent current | 55µA typ (no load); 0.9µA in shutdown - extends battery life in standby |
| Power-good output | Open-drain, active-high with 91–98.5% VOUT threshold - enables reliable power-on reset |
Pinout & Package
TPS76630DR is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 4.9mm × 6mm, with exposed pad not present and standard JEDEC outline.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (pins 5, 6) | Input supply connection | Dual-input pins reduce trace resistance and improve thermal performance; requires ≥1µF ceramic input capacitor near pins |
| OUT (pins 7, 8) | Regulated output connection | Dual-output pins lower effective ESR and enhance current sharing; supports ≥2.2µF ceramic output capacitor |
| GND (pin 3) | Ground reference | Primary return path for load, bias, and feedback currents; must be low-impedance PCB plane |
| EN (pin 4) | Enable control input | TTL/CMOS-compatible; logic low disables regulator (IQ ≤ 0.9µA), logic high enables |
| PG (pin 2) | Power-good status output | Open-drain signal requiring external pullup; asserts high when VOUT reaches 91–98.5% of nominal |
| FB/NC (pin 1) | Feedback / No-connect | Not connected internally for fixed-output TPS76630DR; leave floating or tie to GND for thermal improvement |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Stable with 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor | Eliminates need for large electrolytic or tantalum capacitors, reducing board area and cost |
| Internal soft-start (750µs) | Prevents input inrush and output overshoot during power-up, easing input capacitor sizing |
| High PSRR (46dB @ 1MHz) | Attenuates high-frequency ripple from switchers, minimizing post-regulator filtering requirements |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis (173°C trip / 157°C reset) | Protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking while preventing thermal cycling lockout |
| Open-drain power-good output | Enables flexible system-level sequencing and reset generation using common pullup voltage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS76730DR | Dual-output version (3.0V + adjustable); higher IQ (80µA typ), same dropout and PG function | Requires dual-rail design; occupies same SOIC-8 footprint but adds routing complexity | Select when needing simultaneous 3.0V and programmable output on single chip |
| MCP1700T-3002E/MB | 250mA, 3.0V fixed, SOT-23-3 package; 1.6µA IQ, 600mV dropout at 250mA | Smaller footprint but higher dropout and no PG output - unsuitable for tight-input-margin or sequencing-critical use | Select for space-constrained, low-IQ applications where PG and low dropout are not required |
Compared with TPS76630DR, TPS76630DR offers superior dropout (270mV vs 600mV), integrated power-good, and higher PSRR (46dB vs ~35dB), while TPS76730DR adds dual-output capability at the cost of higher quiescent current and layout overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the TPS76630DR?
The TPS76630DR has an absolute maximum input voltage of 18V, with recommended operating range from 4.0V to 16V. Operation above 16V risks permanent damage, and the device is rated for continuous operation up to 16V per TI's SLVS237E datasheet revision March 2024.
Does the TPS76630DR require an external feedback resistor network?
No, the TPS76630DR is a fixed-output 3.0V regulator. Pin 1 (FB/NC) is not connected internally and should be left floating or tied to GND for improved thermal performance - no external resistors are needed or supported.
What is the typical dropout voltage of the TPS76630DR at full 250mA load?
The TPS76630DR exhibits a typical dropout voltage of 270mV at 250mA load and 25°C, rising to 470mV maximum across –40°C to +125°C. This allows regulation from as low as 3.27V input while maintaining 3.0V output.
How does the power-good (PG) output of the TPS76630DR behave during startup and fault conditions?
The TPS76630DR's open-drain PG output remains low until VOUT reaches 91–98.5% of 3.0V, then pulls high. It deasserts low if VOUT drops below threshold or during thermal shutdown or overcurrent events - requiring an external pullup resistor for proper logic-level operation.
Can the TPS76630DR operate with a 1µF output capacitor?
No - the TPS76630DR requires a minimum 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor for stability, as confirmed in Section 5.3 of the datasheet. Using 1µF risks oscillation or poor transient response; 4.7µF is recommended for optimal PSRR and load step performance.
