Product details
Overview
TPS77301DGK from Texas Instruments is an adjustable 250-mA low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator in an 8-pin MSOP (DGK) package, featuring integrated open-drain power-on reset with 220-ms delay, 92-µA quiescent current, and 55-µVrms output noise without external bypass capacitor. It operates over –40°C to 125°C and supports output programming from 1.5 V to 5.5 V for battery-powered DSP, microcontroller, and portable instrumentation systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS77301DGK datasheet, TPS77301DGK pinout, TPS77301DGK application, or TPS77301DGK equivalent, key selection considerations include its adjustable output range, reset timing behavior, PMOS pass element architecture enabling ultra-low quiescent current independent of load, thermal shutdown protection, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic (≥10 µF) or tantalum (≥1 µF) output capacitors.
Technical Context
The TPS77301DGK uses a PMOS pass transistor to achieve low dropout voltage (e.g., 200 mV at 250 mA for 3.3-V variants) and load-independent quiescent current (92 µA typ). Its internal 1.183-V reference feeds a feedback amplifier that compares FB/SENSE voltage against VREF to regulate output via resistor-divider programming.
It integrates a precision undervoltage detector monitoring regulated output: RESET asserts low when VOUT falls below 95% of target (±0.5% hysteresis), with 220-ms delay after VOUT reaches regulation. EN is active-low, disabling the regulator and reducing ground current to ≤3 µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 250 mA max - supports moderate-power digital loads including microcontrollers and ADCs without external boost. |
| Dropout Voltage | 200 mV typ at 250 mA (for 3.3-V variant) - enables operation with minimal headroom, e.g., 3.5-V input for 3.3-V rail. |
| Quiescent Current | 92 µA typ over full load range - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and portable devices. |
| Output Noise | 55 µVrms (300 Hz–100 kHz) without external filter - eliminates need for noise-reduction capacitors in sensitive analog signal chains. |
| Reset Threshold | 95% of programmed VOUT ±0.5% hysteresis - provides reliable power-up sequencing and brownout detection for DSP/microprocessor systems. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to 125°C junction - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 10 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (4.2 V max), dual-cell alkaline, and 5-V system rails. |
Pinout & Package
TPS77301DGK is housed in an 8-pin MSOP (DGK) package, 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 1.05 mm, tape-and-reel compatible (suffix R: TPS77301DGKR). Pin 1 is marked with a dot; top view orientation matches TI standard DGK pinout for TPS773xx series.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (FB/SENSE) | Feedback input | Connects to external resistor divider (R1/R2) to set output voltage; high-impedance node requiring short, noise-free routing. |
| 2 (RESET) | Open-drain reset output | Active-low, 220-ms delayed assertion on undervoltage; requires external pullup for logic-level interface to MCU reset pin. |
| 3 (EN) | Enable input | Active-low logic control; TTL-compatible (VIL ≤ 0.7 V, VIH ≥ 2 V); pulls GND current to ≤3 µA in shutdown. |
| 4 (GND) | Regulator ground | Power and signal return path; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into FB/SENSE. |
| 5, 6 (IN) | Input voltage supply | Dual-input pins reduce trace resistance and improve thermal performance; accepts 2.7–10 V DC input. |
| 7, 8 (OUT) | Regulated output | Dual-output pins lower effective ESR and improve transient response; connects to 1–10 µF output capacitor per stability requirements. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable Output Range | 1.5 V to 5.5 V via external resistor divider - enables single BOM for multiple voltage rails across product variants. |
| Integrated Power-On Reset | 220-ms delay with 95% VOUT threshold - eliminates need for discrete supervisor IC in space-constrained designs. |
| Low-Noise Operation | 55 µVrms without external filter capacitor - reduces component count and PCB area in RF, audio, and precision analog subsystems. |
| Thermal Shutdown Protection | 144°C trip temperature with hysteresis - prevents damage during overload or poor heatsinking in enclosed enclosures. |
| Stable with Low-ESR Capacitors | Supports 1 µF tantalum or 10 µF ceramic output caps - simplifies capacitor selection and avoids costly polymer or specialty low-ESR types. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS76301DBVR | Same 250-mA output, but SOT-23-5 package; no integrated RESET; 170-µA quiescent current; fixed 3.3/5.0-V only. | Lacks power-on reset function; requires external supervisor for reset sequencing; smaller footprint but higher quiescent current. | Choose when board space is critical and reset functionality is implemented elsewhere. |

FAQ
What output voltage range does the TPS77301DGK support?
The TPS77301DGK is an adjustable LDO supporting output voltages from 1.5 V to 5.5 V, set via an external resistor divider connected to the FB/SENSE pin. The internal 1.183-V reference and feedback amplifier enable precise regulation across this range, with 2% tolerance over line, load, and temperature conditions. This flexibility allows one TPS77301DGK design to serve multiple voltage rails without changing the regulator IC.
How does the RESET function operate on the TPS77301DGK?
The TPS77301DGK's RESET pin is an open-drain, active-low output that monitors the regulated output voltage. When VOUT drops below 95% of its target value, RESET pulls low after hysteresis; upon power-up, it remains low for 220 ms after VOUT reaches 95%, then goes high-impedance. This behavior provides reliable microprocessor reset signaling without external timing components, and requires only a pullup resistor to the host supply rail.
What capacitor values are required for stable operation of the TPS77301DGK?
The TPS77301DGK requires a minimum 1-µF tantalum or 10-µF ceramic output capacitor with ESR meeting stability criteria shown in Figures 18–21 of the datasheet. Input capacitance is optional but recommended (≥0.047 µF) if the device is located >2 inches from the source. No bypass capacitor is needed for noise reduction-the 55-µVrms noise spec is achieved without external filtering.
Can the TPS77301DGK be used in automotive applications?
Yes, the TPS77301DGK is rated for operation from –40°C to 125°C junction temperature and has 10-V maximum input voltage, making it suitable for automotive body electronics such as BCMs and sensor modules. Its thermal shutdown (144°C) and robust ESD rating (2 kV HBM) further support under-hood and dashboard environments, though system-level qualification per AEC-Q100 remains the responsibility of the end designer.
What is the quiescent current behavior of the TPS77301DGK under load and shutdown?
The TPS77301DGK draws 92 µA typical quiescent current across its full 0–250 mA output load range-a key advantage of its PMOS pass element. When disabled via the active-low EN pin, ground current drops to ≤3 µA at 25°C, enabling ultra-low-power sleep modes in battery-operated systems. This load-invariant biasing directly improves runtime in always-on IoT endpoints and portable diagnostics equipment.
