Product details
Overview
TPS76915QDBVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-qualified 100mA low-dropout linear regulator delivering a fixed 1.5V output. It operates from 2.5V to 16V input, features 150mV typical dropout at 100mA, ±1.2% output accuracy over load and temperature, and integrated thermal shutdown and overcurrent protection. It powers MCUs, SiC gate drivers, and sensors in ADAS modules.
For engineers reviewing the TPS76915QDBVRQ1 datasheet, TPS76915QDBVRQ1 pinout, TPS76915QDBVRQ1 application, or TPS76915QDBVRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.5V fixed output, 16V max input, 1.2% accuracy, SOT-23-5 package, and automotive-grade thermal performance up to 125°C ambient.
Technical Context
The TPS76915QDBVRQ1 implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout and high PSRR (46dB at 1MHz). Its internal soft-start circuit limits inrush current with a 750µs typical ramp time, reducing required input capacitance.
It includes undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 2.2V rising and 1.9V falling thresholds, and enable logic with 0.415V low-level and 1.6V high-level thresholds - all specified across −40°C to 125°C ambient operation per AEC-Q100 Grade 1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 1.5V ±1.2% over full load (0–100mA) and temperature (−40°C to 125°C) |
| Input voltage range | 2.5V to 16V - supports direct connection to 12V automotive rails and accommodates cold-crank transients |
| Dropout voltage | 150mV typical at 100mA - enables regulation down to VIN = 1.65V while maintaining 1.5V output |
| PSRR | 46dB at 1MHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters, minimizing post-regulation filtering |
| Quiescent current | 50–95µA (fixed version, IOUT = 0mA) - enables ultra-low-power standby modes in always-on systems |
| Thermal shutdown | Activates at 173°C junction, resets at 157°C - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design |
| Enable threshold | High-level enable ≥1.6V, low-level disable ≤0.415V - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V logic without level-shifting |
Pinout & Package
TPS76915QDBVRQ1 is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.9mm × 2.8mm with RθJA = 178.6°C/W on JEDEC 2s2p board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN | Input supply | Accepts 2.5V–16V; requires ≥1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to IN/GND pins for stability |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for input, output, and internal circuitry; must be low-impedance connection |
| 3 - EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input; drives device ON when ≥1.6V, OFF when ≤0.415V; draws ≤0.02µA in OFF state |
| 4 - FB/NC | Feedback / No-connect | No connection (NC) for fixed-output variants like TPS76915QDBVRQ1; must remain unconnected and floating |
| 5 - OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 1.5V ±1.2%; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic output capacitor with ESR ≤3Ω for stable operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40°C to +125°C ambient operation in automotive powertrain and ADAS applications |
| Internal soft-start | 750µs typical output ramp time - prevents input voltage sag and reduces stress on upstream converters |
| Low-noise regulation | 165µVRMS output noise (300Hz–50kHz, 100mA load) - suitable for noise-sensitive analog and RF subsystems |
| Wide-input UVLO | Hysteresis of 0.13V between 2.2V (rising) and 1.9V (falling) - ensures clean startup/shutdown during battery brownouts |
| Stable with low-ESR ceramics | Supports 0–3Ω output capacitor ESR - eliminates need for tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS76933QDBVRQ1 | Fixed 3.3V output; identical package, pinout, and specs otherwise | Not suitable for 1.5V logic domains; used where higher VDD is required | Select only if system requires 3.3V - not a drop-in replacement for 1.5V use cases |
| TLV73315PDBVR | 1.5V fixed output, 300mA rating, 225mV dropout at 300mA, 1.5% accuracy, SOT-23-5 | Higher current capability but lower accuracy and no AEC-Q100 qualification | Use in non-automotive industrial applications needing >100mA; avoid in safety-critical automotive designs |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for TPS76915QDBVRQ1?
The TPS76915QDBVRQ1 has an absolute maximum input voltage of 18V, with recommended operation up to 16V. This allows reliable operation during automotive cold-crank events where battery voltage may dip then surge. Exceeding 18V risks permanent damage per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table in the official datasheet.
Does TPS76915QDBVRQ1 require an external feedback resistor network?
No. The TPS76915QDBVRQ1 is a fixed-output variant with internally set 1.5V regulation. Pin 4 (FB/NC) is designated "No Connection" and must remain unconnected - unlike adjustable versions such as TPS76901QDBVRQ1 which require external resistors.
What output capacitor value is required for stable operation of TPS76915QDBVRQ1?
The TPS76915QDBVRQ1 requires a minimum 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor with ESR ≤3Ω. This is lower than legacy LDOs due to its enhanced stability compensation - enabling smaller, more reliable MLCC-based designs without tantalum or electrolytic capacitors.
How does the enable function operate on TPS76915QDBVRQ1?
The EN pin on TPS76915QDBVRQ1 is active-high: device enables when voltage ≥1.6V and disables when ≤0.415V. Input leakage is ≤0.02µA in the disabled state, supporting ultra-low-power system sleep modes. No pull-up is required - direct connection to MCU GPIO suffices.
Is TPS76915QDBVRQ1 qualified for automotive safety-critical applications?
Yes. TPS76915QDBVRQ1 is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (−40°C to +125°C ambient), with built-in thermal shutdown (173°C trip), overcurrent protection, and UVLO - meeting baseline requirements for ASIL-B supporting functions in ADAS and powertrain systems per ISO 26262 guidelines.
