Product details
Overview
TPS76918DBVTG4 from Texas Instruments is a 100mA, low-dropout linear regulator with fixed 1.8V output, supporting 2.5V–16V input and featuring 1.2% output accuracy over load and temperature, 215mV typical dropout at 100mA, and integrated thermal shutdown and overcurrent protection. It powers microcontrollers and sensors in HVAC control modules.
For engineers reviewing the TPS76918DBVTG4 datasheet, TPS76918DBVTG4 pinout, TPS76918DBVTG4 application, or TPS76918DBVTG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (2.5–16V), output accuracy (±1.2%), PSRR (46dB at 1MHz), soft-start time (750µs), and minimum output capacitance (2.2µF).
Technical Context
The TPS76918DBVTG4 implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout and high PSRR. Its internal soft-start circuit limits inrush current during power-up, reducing stress on upstream supplies and allowing smaller input capacitors.
It features undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with rising threshold of 2.2V and hysteresis of 130mV, plus enable logic with low-level disable threshold of 0.415V (max) - critical for controlled sequencing in multi-rail systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±1.2% over load and temperature - ensures stable core supply for low-voltage MCUs. |
| Input voltage range | 2.5V to 16V - supports direct regulation from 12V industrial rails or battery-backed 9V sources. |
| Max output current | 100mA - sufficient for sensor interfaces, real-time clocks, and low-power MCU peripherals. |
| Dropout voltage | 215mV (typ) at 100mA - enables operation down to VIN = 2.015V while maintaining regulation. |
| PSRR | 46dB at 1MHz - attenuates switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters without additional filtering. |
| Soft-start time | 750µs (typ) - controls output ramp rate to prevent system reset glitches during power-up. |
| Output capacitor | ≥2.2µF ceramic - enables compact, low-ESR stability without tantalum or electrolytic components. |
Pinout & Package
TPS76918DBVTG4 is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.9mm × 2.8mm, with RθJA = 178.6°C/W for standard PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN | Input supply | Accepts 2.5V–16V input; requires ≥1µF decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin and GND. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for input/output currents and internal bias; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 3 - EN | Enable control | Active-low logic input; drives low to enable regulator, high (>1.6V) to disable (IQ ≤ 2.75µA). |
| 4 - FB/NC | Feedback / No-connect | No connection (NC) for fixed-output variants like TPS76918DBVTG4; must remain unconnected. |
| 5 - OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 1.8V ±1.2%; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic capacitor with ESR ≤3Ω placed near pin and GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High PSRR at 1MHz | 46dB attenuation enables clean LDO output even when fed from noisy switchers. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 50–95µA (IQ) in active mode supports always-on monitoring circuits without battery drain. |
| Integrated fault protection | Thermal shutdown (173°C trip) and current limiting (370–450mA) prevent damage under overload or ambient extremes. |
| UVLO with hysteresis | 2.2V rising / 2.07V falling thresholds ensure reliable startup and brownout immunity across temperature. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the TPS76918DBVTG4?
The TPS76918DBVTG4 has an absolute maximum input voltage of 18V, with recommended operating range up to 16V. Exceeding 18V risks permanent damage. This wide input capability allows direct regulation from 12V industrial rails or automotive battery-derived supplies, making the TPS76918DBVTG4 suitable for harsh environments where input transients may occur.
Does the TPS76918DBVTG4 require an external feedback resistor network?
No, the TPS76918DBVTG4 is a fixed-output 1.8V regulator and does not require external feedback resistors. Pin 4 (FB/NC) is designated as "No Connection" and must remain unconnected. This simplifies layout and eliminates resistor tolerance errors that could affect output accuracy - a key advantage over adjustable LDOs when precise, factory-trimmed voltage is required.
What is the typical dropout voltage of the TPS76918DBVTG4 at full load?
The TPS76918DBVTG4 exhibits a typical dropout voltage of 215mV at 100mA output current and 25°C. At worst-case conditions (–40°C to +125°C), dropout rises to 218mV. This enables regulation down to VIN = 2.015V while maintaining 1.8V output, supporting operation from partially discharged batteries or low-headroom intermediate rails.
Can the TPS76918DBVTG4 be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the TPS76918DBVTG4 is explicitly designed for ceramic output capacitors with minimum value 2.2µF and ESR ≤3Ω. Unlike older LDOs requiring high-ESR tantalum capacitors for stability, this device uses internal compensation optimized for low-ESR ceramics - reducing board area, improving reliability, and eliminating ESR-related aging effects.
How does the enable (EN) pin function on the TPS76918DBVTG4?
The EN pin on the TPS76918DBVTG4 is active-low: driving it below 0.415V (max) disables the regulator, reducing quiescent current to ≤2.75µA; pulling it above 1.6V (min) enables regulation. This allows precise power sequencing in multi-rail systems and ultra-low-power sleep modes - critical for battery-operated appliances and always-on sensor nodes using the TPS76918DBVTG4.
