Product details
Overview
TPS76801QPWPRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade adjustable low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator delivering up to 1 A output current with 230 mV dropout at 1 A (TPS76850-Q1 variant), ±2% output voltage accuracy over temperature and load, and 85 μA typical quiescent current. It features PMOS pass architecture, open-drain power-good (PG) output, enable control, and thermal shutdown - designed for battery-sensitive automotive subsystems including ADAS camera modules and instrument clusters.
For engineers reviewing the TPS76801QPWPRQ1 datasheet, TPS76801QPWPRQ1 pinout, TPS76801QPWPRQ1 application, or TPS76801QPWPRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (–40°C to 125°C), fast transient response with 10 μF output capacitance, PG threshold hysteresis (0.5% VO), and compatibility with ceramic, tantalum, and aluminum electrolytic capacitors meeting 50 mΩ–1.5 Ω ESR range.
Technical Context
The TPS76801QPWPRQ1 uses a PMOS pass transistor enabling ultralow, load-independent quiescent current (85 μA typ) and linear dropout behavior proportional to output current. Its internal 1.1834 V reference feeds a high-impedance feedback amplifier, supporting adjustable output from 1.2 V to 5.5 V via external resistor divider (R1/R2).
Power-good logic monitors output voltage with 92–98% VO trip threshold and active-high open-drain output requiring external pullup; enable input is TTL-compatible (low-enable, 0.9 V max low, 1.7 V min high). Thermal shutdown activates at ~150°C junction temperature, with automatic recovery below ~130°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output current | 1 A maximum continuous - supports high-current microcontrollers and sensors in automotive ECUs |
| Adjustable output range | 1.2 V to 5.5 V - enables flexible rail generation without multiple fixed-voltage SKUs |
| Quiescent current | 85 μA typical - extends battery life in always-on vehicle systems (e.g., telematics wake-up circuits) |
| Dropout voltage | 230 mV at 1 A (TPS76850-Q1); TPS76801QPWPRQ1 maintains similar PMOS-derived low-dropout behavior - allows operation with minimal VIN–VO margin |
| Output accuracy | ±2% over line, load, and temperature (–40°C to 125°C) - ensures reliable logic-level compliance for 1.8 V/2.5 V/3.3 V digital interfaces |
| Power-good threshold | 92–98% VO with 0.5% hysteresis - provides clean, bounce-free reset signaling for downstream processors |
| ESD rating | HBM ±2000 V, CDM ±500 V - meets AEC-Q100 stress requirements for harsh automotive environments |
Pinout & Package
TPS76801QPWPRQ1 is housed in a thermally enhanced 20-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package measuring 6.50 mm × 4.40 mm, featuring an exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground for improved heat dissipation (RθJB = 22.1°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pins 6, 7) | Input supply connection | Dual-input pins reduce trace resistance and improve current handling for 1-A operation |
| OUT (Pins 13, 14) | Regulated output node | Dual-output pins minimize voltage drop under full load and support low-impedance output capacitor placement |
| GND/HSINK (Pins 1, 2, 9–12, 19, 20) | Ground and thermal sink | Eight dedicated GND/HSINK pins plus thermal pad ensure robust grounding and efficient heat transfer to PCB |
| EN (Pin 5) | Enable control input | Active-low TTL-compatible input - tie to GND for always-on operation; >1.7 V disables regulator, reducing IQ to <1 μA |
| PG (Pin 16) | Power-good status indicator | Open-drain output requiring external pullup - asserts high when VO ≥92% nominal, deasserts at ≤98% VO |
| FB/NC (Pin 15) | Feedback input / No-connect | Connected to internal error amplifier for adjustable mode; left unconnected (NC) in fixed-output variants - unused here as TPS76801QPWPRQ1 is adjustable |
| NC (Pins 4, 8, 17, 18) | No internal connection | Unbonded pins - must remain unconnected per design; no routing or termination required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation - suitable for engine bay, transmission control, and ADAS sensor modules |
| Fast transient response | Stable with 10 μF output capacitance and ESR 50 mΩ–1.5 Ω - eliminates need for costly low-ESR capacitors while maintaining regulation during load steps |
| PMOS pass element | Enables 85 μA quiescent current independent of load - critical for low-power sleep modes in automotive infotainment and body control units |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at ~150°C junction, resumes at ~130°C - prevents thermal runaway during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Reverse current protection | Integrated back diode conducts reverse current when VIN < VOUT - avoids external diode in power-path designs with backup batteries or dual supplies |
Applications
| ADAS Camera Power Supply | Instrument Cluster Microcontroller Rail |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7B8750QKVURQ1 | 500 mA max output, integrated watchdog timer, lower IQ (25 μA), no PG output | Suitable for lower-current safety-critical domains (e.g., airbag controllers) where supervision is needed but PG is not required | Select if system requires built-in window watchdog and current is ≤500 mA; avoid if PG signaling or 1 A output is mandatory |
| TLV76733QWDRBRQ1 | 3.3 V fixed output only, 1 A, 125 μA IQ, no PG, smaller 8-pin WSON package | Optimized for space-constrained fixed-rail applications (e.g., radar sensor analog front-end) without adjustment or status reporting | Select for cost-sensitive, fixed-voltage use cases where board area is limited and PG/adjustability are unnecessary |
Compared with TPS76801QPWPRQ1, TPS7B8750QKVURQ1 trades output current and PG for watchdog integration and lower IQ, while TLV76733QWDRBRQ1 sacrifices adjustability and PG for compact size and simplified BOM - making TPS76801QPWPRQ1 the optimal choice for systems needing full 1-A adjustability with automotive-grade PG monitoring.

FAQ
What output voltage range does the TPS76801QPWPRQ1 support?
The TPS76801QPWPRQ1 is an adjustable LDO regulator supporting an output voltage range of 1.2 V to 5.5 V, set by an external resistor divider connected to the FB pin. Its internal 1.1834 V reference enables precise programming - for example, 3.3 V output requires R1 = 53.6 kΩ and R2 = 30.1 kΩ. This flexibility eliminates the need for multiple fixed-voltage SKUs in multi-rail automotive designs.
Does the TPS76801QPWPRQ1 require a minimum load for stability?
No, the TPS76801QPWPRQ1 is stable at zero load and does not require a minimum output current. Its PMOS-based architecture and compensation design ensure loop stability with 10 μF output capacitance across the full operating range (0 mA to 1 A), simplifying design for intermittent-load applications like automotive body controllers and sensor nodes.
How does the power-good (PG) output of the TPS76801QPWPRQ1 behave during undervoltage conditions?
The PG output of the TPS76801QPWPRQ1 is an open-drain, active-high signal that remains high while output voltage stays above 92% of nominal, then pulls low when VO drops to ≤98% VO - with 0.5% hysteresis preventing chatter. It requires an external pullup resistor and is commonly used to drive power-on reset logic for downstream MCUs in automotive clusters and gateways.
What thermal performance can be expected from the TPS76801QPWPRQ1 in a typical automotive PCB layout?
In a standard 4-layer PCB with 2 oz copper and the thermal pad fully soldered to an internal ground plane, the TPS76801QPWPRQ1 achieves RθJB = 22.1°C/W. At 1 A load with 3.3 V output and 5 V input, power dissipation is ~1.7 W, resulting in ~37.5°C rise above ambient - well within the 125°C max junction limit even at 85°C ambient, provided adequate copper area is allocated.
Can the TPS76801QPWPRQ1 be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the TPS76801QPWPRQ1 is explicitly designed to be stable with ceramic output capacitors of ≥10 μF and ESR between 50 mΩ and 1.5 Ω. Most commercial 1206/1210-size 10–22 μF X5R/X7R MLCCs meet this specification, enabling compact, high-reliability designs without electrolytic components - ideal for automotive vibration and temperature cycling requirements.
