Product details
Overview
TPS77101QDGKRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade 150-mA adjustable-output LDO voltage regulator with integrated open-drain power-on reset (RESET) output, 8-pin MSOP (DGK) package, 115-mV typical dropout at 150 mA (3.3-V variant), 92-µA quiescent current, and ±2% output voltage tolerance over line/load/temperature. It serves as a primary power supply and system supervisor in battery-powered automotive control modules.
For engineers reviewing the TPS77101QDGKRQ1 datasheet, TPS77101QDGKRQ1 pinout, TPS77101QDGKRQ1 application, or TPS77101QDGKRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world application mappings, and confirmed alternative options for automotive-grade LDO selection - all grounded in TI's SLVS225D datasheet and Q1 qualification data.
Technical Context
The TPS77101QDGKRQ1 uses a PMOS pass element enabling ultra-low dropout (115 mV at 150 mA) and load-independent quiescent current (92 µA typ). Its internal 1.1834-V reference feeds a high-gain error amplifier that drives the pass transistor via a stable compensation network optimized for 1–10 µF ceramic or tantalum output capacitors.
It integrates a precision voltage monitor with 95% VOUT trip threshold and 220-ms reset delay, delivering open-drain RESET assertion during undervoltage events. The EN pin enables TTL-compatible shutdown (<1 µA standby), and FB/SENSE supports external resistor-divider programming from 1.5 V to 5.5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 150 mA max - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, CAN transceivers, and sensor interfaces in automotive ECUs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 115 mV typ at 150 mA (3.3-V output) - enables operation from weak or aging 5-V rails down to ~3.4 V input. |
| Quiescent Current | 92 µA typ - extends battery life in always-on automotive modules such as body controllers and telematics. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±2% over line, load, and temperature - ensures reliable logic-level compliance for 1.8-V/3.3-V digital subsystems. |
| Reset Threshold | 95% of regulated VOUT with 220-ms delay - provides clean, glitch-free processor reset during cold-crank or brownout conditions. |
| Noise Performance | 55 µVrms (10 Hz–100 kHz, no bypass cap) - eliminates need for external noise-filtering components in analog-sensor signal chains. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood and cabin-mounted automotive applications. |
Pinout & Package
TPS77101QDGKRQ1 is housed in an 8-pin MSOP (DGK) package - 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected), RoHS-compliant and automotive-qualified.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: FB/SENSE | Feedback input / sense node | Connects to external resistor divider for adjustable output; short trace required to avoid noise-induced regulation error. |
| 2: RESET | Open-drain reset output | Active-low, 220-ms delayed assertion on VOUT undervoltage; requires external pullup to system rail (e.g., 10 kΩ to 3.3 V). |
| 3: EN | Enable input | Logic-low active; pulls device into <1 µA shutdown state when high - enables low-power sleep modes in ECUs. |
| 4: GND | Regulator ground | Power and signal return; must be tied directly to low-impedance PCB ground plane adjacent to thermal pad. |
| 5,6: IN | Input voltage supply | Dual-input pins reduce IR drop and improve transient response; accepts 2.7 V to 10 V (min VI = VO + 1 V). |
| 7,8: OUT | Regulated output | Dual-output pins lower path resistance; supports 1.5–5.5 V adjustable output with 10 µF ceramic or 1 µF tantalum capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Power-On Reset | 220-ms delay with 95% VOUT threshold - eliminates need for external supervisor IC in automotive MCU power sequencing. |
| PMOS Pass Element | Dropout proportional to IOUT, not load-dependent quiescent current - maintains efficiency across full 0–150 mA range. |
| Low-Noise Operation | 55 µVrms without external filter capacitor - reduces BOM count and PCB area in noise-sensitive ADC or RF front-end supplies. |
| Wide Output Capacitor Compatibility | Stable with 1 µF tantalum (low-ESR) or 10 µF ceramic - simplifies layout and supports cost-optimized capacitor selection. |
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C) with PPAP-ready documentation - meets functional safety requirements for ASIL-B systems. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Camera Power |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS78033QDRVRQ1 | 300-mA output, 1.5-µA IQ, fixed 3.3-V output only; no RESET/PG function. | Lacks integrated reset supervision - requires external supervisor IC for system reset functionality. | Choose when higher current and ultra-low IQ are prioritized over built-in reset capability. |
| TLV70733QDSERQ1 | 300-mA output, 25-µA IQ, fixed 3.3-V output; includes active-high PG but no RESET delay. | PG asserts immediately at 92% VOUT; lacks programmable delay - unsuitable for cold-crank timing requirements. | Choose when fast power-good signaling is needed and 220-ms reset delay is not required. |
Compared with TPS77101QDGKRQ1, TPS78033QDRVRQ1 offers higher current and lower IQ but omits reset supervision, while TLV70733QDSERQ1 adds PG but removes the critical 220-ms delay - making TPS77101QDGKRQ1 uniquely suited for automotive cold-crank reset sequencing.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for TPS77101QDGKRQ1 to regulate a 3.3-V output at 150 mA?
The minimum input voltage is calculated as VOUT + VDO = 3.3 V + 0.115 V = 3.415 V. Per the datasheet, VI(min) must also satisfy VO(typ) + 1 V = 4.3 V, so the higher value governs: 4.3 V is the practical minimum input for full-load 3.3-V regulation. Below this, dropout behavior begins and output voltage drops linearly with input.
Does TPS77101QDGKRQ1 require an external bypass capacitor for noise reduction?
No - TPS77101QDGKRQ1 achieves 55 µVrms output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz) without any external bypass capacitor, unlike most low-noise LDOs. This eliminates BOM cost and board space for filtering components while maintaining clean power for sensitive analog circuits.
How does the RESET output of TPS77101QDGKRQ1 behave during power-up and brownout events?
At power-up, RESET remains low until VOUT reaches 95% of its target voltage, then transitions to high-impedance after a precise 220-ms delay. During brownout, RESET asserts low immediately when VOUT falls below 95%, providing deterministic reset timing critical for automotive MCU reliability.
Can TPS77101QDGKRQ1 be used with ceramic output capacitors, and what ESR range is supported?
Yes - TPS77101QDGKRQ1 is stable with 10-µF ceramic capacitors having ESR between 0.01 Ω and 1 Ω (per Figures 19/21), or 1-µF tantalum capacitors with ESR < 0.1 Ω. X5R/X7R dielectrics are recommended; Y5U/Z5U are discouraged due to temperature-induced capacitance drift.
What is the thermal shutdown threshold and recovery behavior of TPS77101QDGKRQ1?
Thermal shutdown activates at 144°C junction temperature. Once triggered, the device disables output and RESET goes low. Recovery occurs automatically when junction temperature falls below ~130°C hysteresis threshold, restoring regulation without external intervention - protecting against sustained overloads in confined automotive enclosures.
