Product details
Overview
TPS76733QPWPR 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 integrated open-drain power-on reset with 200-ms delay. It delivers stable voltage for microcontroller core supplies in battery-powered industrial instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the TPS76733QPWPR datasheet, TPS76733QPWPR pinout, TPS76733QPWPR application, or TPS76733QPWPR equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance across temperature, RESET threshold hysteresis (92–98% VO), thermal shutdown at 150°C, and compatibility with 10-µF low-ESR output capacitors.
Technical Context
The TPS76733QPWPR uses a voltage-driven PMOS pass transistor to achieve load-independent quiescent current and avoid PNP saturation issues during dropout. Its internal 1.1834-V reference feeds a high-impedance error amplifier that regulates output via feedback sensing at the FB/NC pin (unused in fixed versions).
A dedicated comparator monitors regulated output voltage against 92–98% VO thresholds to assert the open-drain RESET signal with 200-ms timeout. Thermal shutdown activates at 150°C junction temperature and recovers at ~130°C, while current limiting caps output at ~1.7 A under fault conditions.
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 MCU core supply within tolerance across operating range. |
| Dropout Voltage | 350 mV typ at 1 A, 25°C; 575 mV max at 1 A, −40°C to 125°C - enables regulation from 3.65 V input at full load and elevated temperature. |
| Quiescent Current | 85 µA typ, 125 µA max at 1 A load, −40°C to 125°C - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes without sacrificing regulation accuracy. |
| RESET Threshold | 92–98% of VO (3.04–3.23 V) with 0.5-V hysteresis - provides clean, noise-immune power-on reset signaling for microcontrollers. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C activation, ~130°C recovery - protects device during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking without latch-up. |
| Output Capacitor | 10 µF minimum, ESR 50 mΩ–1.5 Ω - supports stability with common solid tantalum, aluminum electrolytic, or multilayer ceramic capacitors. |
| Enable Input | Logic-high ≥1.7 V, logic-low ≤0.9 V - allows direct interfacing with 3.3-V or 5-V digital control signals without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
TPS76733QPWPR is packaged in a 20-pin HTSSOP (PWP) with exposed thermal pad (6.50 mm × 4.40 mm body). The package features eight GND/HSINK pins (pins 1, 2, 9, 10, 11, 12, 19, 20) for enhanced thermal dissipation and low-inductance grounding.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND/HSINK (1, 2, 9, 10, 11, 12, 19, 20) | Ground reference and thermal heatsink | Multiple low-impedance ground paths reduce noise coupling and improve thermal resistance (RθJB = 8.7°C/W). |
| IN (6, 7) | Unregulated input voltage supply | Dual-input pins distribute current and reduce trace IR drop; accepts 2.7 V to 10 V input per spec. |
| OUT (13, 14) | Regulated 3.3-V output | Dual-output pins lower effective output impedance and support higher peak currents without voltage sag. |
| EN (5) | Active-high enable control | Pulling EN ≥1.7 V enables regulation; tying to GND disables output and reduces quiescent current to 1 µA. |
| RESET (16) | Open-drain reset indicator | Asserts low when VO drops below 92% nominal; requires external pullup for system reset assertion. |
| FB/NC (15) | Feedback input / no-connect | No internal connection for fixed-output TPS76733QPWPR; left unconnected per datasheet. |
| NC (4, 8, 17, 18) | No internal connection | Unused pins; must remain unconnected to avoid parasitic coupling or mechanical stress. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast transient response | Stable with 10-µF low-ESR output capacitor; load step response shows <100-mV undershoot/overshoot at 1-A step (Fig. 18). |
| Ultralow quiescent current | 85 µA typical over full 0–1 A load range and −40°C to 125°C - enables >1-year battery life in 10-µA sleep systems. |
| Integrated power-on reset | 200-ms delay, 92–98% VO threshold, open-drain output - eliminates need for external supervisor IC in MCU designs. |
| Thermal and current protection | 150°C shutdown with hysteresis + ~1.7-A current limit - prevents catastrophic failure during short-circuit or overload events. |
| PMOS pass architecture | Dropout directly proportional to load; no base-drive current required - avoids startup surge and maintains regulation down to VIN = VO + VDO. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS76733QD | Same electrical specs; 8-pin SOIC (4.90 mm × 3.91 mm) vs. 20-pin HTSSOP - higher RθJA (106.9°C/W vs. 35.8°C/W). | Limited to lower ambient temperatures or reduced load current due to thermal constraints; preferred for cost-sensitive, low-power layouts. | Select TPS76733QD when board space is constrained and thermal budget permits ≤500 mA continuous load at 70°C ambient. |
| TLV70033DDCT | Lower IQ (30 µA), smaller 5-pin SOT-23 package, but 200-mA max output and 170-mV dropout at 200 mA - not 1-A capable. | Suitable only for ultra-low-power peripherals (e.g., RTC, sensors); cannot replace TPS76733QPWPR in 1-A MCU core supply roles. | Choose TLV70033DDCT for auxiliary 3.3-V rails with <200 mA demand where minimal quiescent current outweighs output current needs. |
Compared with TPS76733QD and TLV70033DDCT, the TPS76733QPWPR uniquely balances 1-A output capability, 350-mV dropout, and integrated RESET in a thermally robust 20-pin HTSSOP - making it optimal for industrial MCU power where reliability and thermal margin are critical.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for TPS76733QPWPR to maintain regulation?
The minimum input voltage for TPS76733QPWPR is VO + VDO. At 25°C and 1-A load, VDO = 350 mV, so minimum VIN = 3.65 V. Over temperature (−40°C to 125°C), VDO rises to 575 mV, requiring VIN ≥ 3.875 V to sustain 3.3-V output at full load. This is specified in Section 7.5 of the datasheet.
Does TPS76733QPWPR require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, TPS76733QPWPR has an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pullup resistor (typically 10–100 kΩ to 3.3 V or 5 V) to generate a valid logic-high signal when not asserted. Without pullup, RESET remains floating and cannot drive microcontroller reset inputs reliably.
Can TPS76733QPWPR operate without a minimum load current?
Yes, TPS76733QPWPR is stable at zero load - no minimum load is required. This is confirmed in Section 9.4.1 (Minimum Load Requirements) and enables use in standby modes where downstream circuitry may be fully powered down.
What output capacitor ESR range is supported by TPS76733QPWPR?
TPS76733QPWPR requires an output capacitor with ESR between 50 mΩ and 1.5 Ω, as stated in Section 10.1.1. Capacitors outside this range risk instability or excessive output ripple; 10-µF solid tantalum or X5R/X7R ceramic types meeting this ESR spec are recommended.
Is TPS76733QPWPR pin-compatible with other devices in the TPS767xx family?
TPS76733QPWPR shares the same 20-pin HTSSOP (PWP) pinout with all fixed-output TPS767xxQ variants (e.g., TPS76725QPWPR, TPS76750QPWPR), enabling drop-in replacement across output voltages without PCB redesign - provided thermal and input voltage requirements are met.
