Product details
Overview
TPS76733QPWP from Texas Instruments is a 3.3-V fixed-output, 1-A low-dropout linear regulator with PMOS pass element, 350-mV dropout at 1 A (25°C), 85-µA typical quiescent current, and open-drain power-on reset with 200-ms delay-designed for stable 3.3-V supply in battery-powered microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS76733QPWP datasheet, TPS76733QPWP pinout, TPS76733QPWP application, or TPS76733QPWP equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage over temperature, RESET threshold hysteresis (0.5 V), thermal shutdown at 150°C, and compatibility with 10-µF low-ESR output capacitors.
Technical Context
The TPS76733QPWP uses a voltage-driven PMOS pass transistor to achieve load-independent quiescent current (85 µA typ) and low dropout (350 mV at 1 A, 25°C). Its internal 1.1834-V reference feeds a high-impedance feedback amplifier, enabling stable regulation with 10-µF ceramic output capacitors.
A dedicated comparator monitors regulated output voltage and asserts open-drain RESET when VO drops to 92–98% of nominal (3.2346–3.366 V), with 200-ms timeout delay. Thermal shutdown activates at 150°C, and current limiting caps output at ~1.7 A.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3 V ±2% over line, load, and −40°C to 125°C - ensures reliable 3.3-V logic supply across industrial temperature range. |
| Dropout Voltage | 350 mV at 1 A (25°C); 575 mV max (−40°C to 125°C) - enables operation with input as low as 3.65 V at full load. |
| Quiescent Current | 85 µA typical (0–1 A load); 125 µA max (−40°C to 125°C) - extends battery life in always-on portable systems. |
| RESET Threshold | 92–98% of VO (3.2346–3.366 V), 0.5-V hysteresis - provides clean, noise-immune power-on reset signaling. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C junction activation, 130°C recovery - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
| Output Capacitor | 10 µF minimum, ESR 50 mΩ–1.5 Ω - supports stability with common solid tantalum, aluminum, or multilayer ceramic caps. |
| Enable Input | Logic-compatible: VIH ≥1.7 V, VIL ≤0.9 V - allows direct interfacing with 3.3-V or 5-V microcontroller GPIOs. |
Pinout & Package
TPS76733QPWP is housed in a 20-pin HTSSOP PowerPAD™ (PWP) package (6.50 mm × 4.40 mm) with exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation. GND/HSINK pins (1, 2, 9, 10, 11, 12, 19, 20) provide both electrical ground return and thermal conduction path to PCB copper.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND/HSINK (1, 2, 9, 10, 11, 12, 19, 20) | Ground reference & thermal sink | Must be soldered to large PCB copper pour to maintain RθJB = 8.7°C/W and prevent thermal shutdown under 1-A load. |
| EN (5) | Active-low enable control | Pull low to disable regulator; draws ≤1 µA in shutdown - enables system-level power sequencing and ultra-low standby current. |
| IN (6, 7) | Input voltage supply | Dual pins reduce trace resistance and IR drop; accepts 2.7–10 V input - supports wide-input battery or DC-DC pre-regulator sources. |
| OUT (13, 14) | Regulated 3.3-V output | Dual pins lower output impedance; requires 10-µF output capacitor with ESR <1.5 Ω for loop stability. |
| RESET (16) | Open-drain reset indicator | Sinks 300 µA at valid trip; requires external pullup - signals undervoltage condition to MCU reset pin or supervisor IC. |
| FB/NC (15) | Feedback input / no-connect | No-connect for fixed 3.3-V version; left unconnected - avoids noise coupling into high-impedance feedback node. |
| NC (4, 8, 17, 18) | No internal connection | Not bonded; must remain unconnected - prevents unintended parasitic paths or EMI coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PMOS pass transistor architecture | Enables 85-µA quiescent current independent of load - eliminates battery drain during sleep modes in portable devices. |
| Fast transient response | Stable with 10-µF low-ESR output capacitors - delivers <±100-mV output deviation during 1-A load steps (typical). |
| Integrated 200-ms power-on RESET | Asserts open-drain signal when VO falls below 92% of 3.3 V - ensures deterministic microcontroller initialization without external supervisor. |
| Thermal and current protection | Shuts down at 150°C junction temp; limits output to ~1.7 A - prevents damage during short-circuit or overload conditions. |
| Wide input voltage range | Operates from 2.7 V to 10 V - accommodates single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V), dual-cell alkaline (2.4–3.2 V), or 5-V rail inputs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS76733QDR | Same electrical specs; 8-pin SOIC (D) package with RθJA = 106.9°C/W - higher thermal resistance than PWP. | Limited to ≤500 mA continuous load in still-air due to thermal constraints - unsuitable for sustained 1-A operation. | Select only if board space is constrained and thermal margin permits lower current derating. |
| TLV70733PDQNR | Lower IQ (25 µA), smaller 6-pin X2SON package, but 0.5-A max output - no RESET function or thermal shutdown. | Requires external reset supervisor and thermal monitoring - increases design complexity and component count. | Prefer for ultra-low-power, space-constrained designs where 1-A capability and integrated protection are not required. |
Compared with TPS76733QPWP, TPS76733QDR offers identical regulation performance but requires careful thermal layout to sustain 1-A loads, while TLV70733PDQNR trades off current capacity and integrated protection for ultra-low quiescent current and minimal footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the TPS76733QPWP?
The absolute maximum input voltage for the TPS76733QPWP is 13.5 V, but recommended operating input voltage is 2.7 V to 10 V. Exceeding 10 V may trigger internal protection or degrade long-term reliability, and operation below 2.7 V risks dropout unless output current is reduced proportionally per the dropout voltage curve.
Does the TPS76733QPWP require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, the TPS76733QPWP RESET pin is open-drain and requires an external pullup resistor (typically 10–100 kΩ to 3.3 V or 5 V) to generate a valid logic-high signal. Without it, RESET remains floating and cannot drive a microcontroller reset input reliably - this is explicitly required per the functional description in the datasheet.
Can the TPS76733QPWP operate without an output capacitor?
No, the TPS76733QPWP requires a minimum 10-µF output capacitor with ESR between 50 mΩ and 1.5 Ω for closed-loop stability. Omitting it causes oscillation or excessive output ripple, as confirmed by the "External Capacitor Requirements" section and stability region plots in the datasheet.
What is the thermal performance difference between the PWP and D packages of the TPS76733QPWP?
The PWP (HTSSOP-20) package has RθJA = 35.8°C/W, while the D (SOIC-8) package has RθJA = 106.9°C/W. At 1 A and 25°C ambient, junction temperature rise is ~36°C for PWP versus ~107°C for D - making the PWP package essential for sustained 1-A operation without thermal shutdown.
Is the TPS76733QPWP pin-compatible with other members of the TPS767xx family?
Yes, all TPS767xxQ variants in the PWP package share identical pinout and footprint - including TPS76715Q, TPS76718Q, TPS76725Q, TPS76728Q, TPS76730Q, TPS76733Q, TPS76750Q, and TPS76701Q - enabling voltage-scaling flexibility without PCB redesign.
