Product details
Overview
TPS76633DRG4 from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output 3.3V, 250mA low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator in an 8-pin SOIC package. It supports 2.5V–16V input, delivers ±1% output accuracy over load and temperature, features open-drain power-good signaling, and operates in HVAC control modules requiring stable 3.3V bias for microcontrollers and sensors.
For engineers reviewing the TPS76633DRG4 datasheet, TPS76633DRG4 pinout, TPS76633DRG4 application, or TPS76633DRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at full load (260mV typ), PSRR of 46dB at 1MHz, internal soft-start (750µs), thermal shutdown (173°C), and compatibility with ≥2.2µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The TPS76633DRG4 implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout and high PSRR. Its feedback loop uses an internal 0.8V reference with precision error amplifier, supporting stable regulation across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
It integrates enable-controlled sleep mode (standby current ≤6.75µA), open-drain power-good with 91–98.5% VOUT trip threshold and 0.45% hysteresis, and overcurrent/thermal protection with foldback current limiting and automatic recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1% over –40°C to +125°C and 10µA–250mA load |
| Input voltage range | 2.5V to 16V - supports transformer secondaries and 12V rails without external pre-regulation |
| Dropout voltage | 260mV typical at 250mA - enables operation with only 3.56V input for full 3.3V output |
| Quiescent current | 55µA typical at no load - minimizes standby power in always-on systems |
| PSRR | 46dB at 1MHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters |
| Power-good output | Open-drain with 91–98.5% VOUT threshold - enables reliable power-on reset sequencing |
| Start-up time | 750µs typical - limits inrush current and reduces required input capacitance |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin SOIC (D), 4.9mm × 6mm body, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant.
| 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 capacitor near pins |
| OUT (pins 7, 8) | Regulated output | Dual-output pins lower output impedance; stable with ≥2.2µF ceramic capacitor (ESR ≤2Ω) |
| GND (pin 3) | Ground reference | Primary ground return for regulator core and feedback network; must be low-impedance PCB plane |
| EN (pin 4) | Enable control input | TTL-compatible; <0.4V disables regulator (standby IQ ≤6.75µA), >1.2V enables |
| PG (pin 2) | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output; requires external pull-up; asserts high when VOUT reaches 91–98.5% of nominal |
| NC/FB (pin 1) | No-connect (fixed version) | Not internally connected; leave floating or tie to GND for improved thermal dissipation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide input voltage range (2.5V–16V) | Eliminates need for pre-regulators in 12V automotive or industrial rail applications |
| ±1% output accuracy over temperature and load | Ensures reliable operation of 3.3V I/O peripherals and ADC references without calibration |
| Stable with 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor | Reduces BOM cost and board area vs. tantalum or larger electrolytic capacitors |
| Internal soft-start (750µs) | Prevents input voltage sag during power-up, allowing smaller input bulk capacitors |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis (173°C trip / 157°C reset) | Protects against sustained overload while avoiding oscillation near thermal limit |
Applications
| Residential Air Conditioners | HVAC Systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS76733QPWPRQ1 | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q100), higher PSRR (65dB @ 1kHz), 1.5A output, larger 20-pin HTSSOP package | Designed for under-hood automotive use; includes dual-output and thermal foldback | Select for automotive safety-critical systems requiring qualification and higher current capability |
| MCP1703T-3302E/MB | 3.3V fixed, 250mA, 6µA quiescent current, SOT-23-5 package, no PG or EN | Lacks power-good and enable functions; optimized for ultra-low IQ portable devices | Select when minimal quiescent current is critical and sequencing/monitoring features are unnecessary |
Compared with TPS76633DRG4, the TPS76733QPWPRQ1 offers automotive qualification and higher drive strength but requires PCB redesign due to different package and pinout; the MCP1703T-3302E/MB saves board space and power but sacrifices system-level monitoring and control features.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the TPS76633DRG4?
The TPS76633DRG4 has an absolute maximum input voltage of 18V. Its recommended operating input range is 2.5V to 16V, making it suitable for direct connection to 12V systems with transient headroom. Exceeding 18V risks permanent damage per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table in the official datasheet SLVS237E.
Does the TPS76633DRG4 require an external feedback resistor network?
No, the TPS76633DRG4 is a fixed-output 3.3V regulator. Pin 1 (NC/FB) is not connected internally and should be left floating or tied to GND for thermal improvement. External resistors are only required for adjustable versions like TPS76601; the TPS76633DRG4 uses an internal resistor divider calibrated to 3.3V.
What output capacitor value and type does the TPS76633DRG4 require for stability?
The TPS76633DRG4 is stable with a minimum 2.2µF ceramic capacitor (X5R/X7R) on the output, with ESR ≤2Ω. The datasheet confirms stability across the full 2.2µF–220µF range. Larger values improve transient response but are not required; aluminum or tantalum capacitors are unnecessary and may degrade phase margin.
How does the power-good (PG) function operate on the TPS76633DRG4?
The TPS76633DRG4 PG pin is an open-drain output that goes high when VOUT reaches 91–98.5% of nominal (3.3V), with 0.45% hysteresis. It requires an external pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ to 3.3V or 5V). When VOUT drops below threshold, PG pulls low - enabling use as a power-on reset or brownout indicator in systems using the TPS76633DRG4.
Is the TPS76633DRG4 pin-compatible with earlier TPS766xx variants?
Yes, all TPS766xx variants including TPS76633DRG4 share identical 8-pin SOIC (D) packaging and pinout. The IN, OUT, GND, EN, PG, and NC/FB assignments are consistent across the family. However, electrical behavior differs between legacy and new silicon revisions - notably in dropout, PSRR, and quiescent current - so design validation against the specific revision is essential.
