Product details
Overview
TPS77450DGK from Texas Instruments is a 5.0-V fixed-output, 250-mA low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator with integrated open-drain power-good (PG) output, housed in an 8-pin MSOP (DGK) package. It delivers ultralow 92-µA quiescent current, 200-mV typical dropout at full load, ±2% output voltage tolerance over line/load/temperature, and 55-µVrms output noise without external filtering - ideal for powering noise-sensitive analog circuitry in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the TPS77450DGK datasheet, TPS77450DGK pinout, TPS77450DGK application, or TPS77450DGK equivalent, key selection criteria include its PG threshold (82% of VOUT), enable polarity (active-low), thermal shutdown protection, compatibility with 1-µF tantalum or 10-µF ceramic output capacitors, and operation across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The TPS77450DGK uses a PMOS pass element enabling low dropout (200 mV @ 250 mA) and load-independent quiescent current (92 µA). Its internal 1.183-V reference feeds a precision error amplifier that drives the pass device to maintain regulation under fast load transients.
It integrates a comparator monitoring VOUT against 82% of nominal output; when VOUT drops below this threshold, the open-drain PG pin pulls low. The EN pin is active-low, disabling the regulator and reducing ground current to ≤3 µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±2% over line, load, and –40°C to 125°C junction temperature - ensures stable supply for 5-V logic and analog subsystems. |
| Max Output Current | 250 mA continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, ADCs, and RF front-ends in compact embedded systems. |
| Dropout Voltage | 200 mV typical at 250 mA (TJ = 25°C) - enables operation from 5.2-V input, extending battery life in 2-cell Li-ion or 6-V rail applications. |
| Quiescent Current | 92 µA typical at full load, ≤3 µA in shutdown - critical for always-on sensor nodes and low-power IoT endpoints. |
| Output Noise | 55 µVrms (300 Hz–100 kHz), no external bypass capacitor required - eliminates need for extra filtering components in precision signal chains. |
| Power-Good Threshold | 82% of VOUT (4.1 V), with hysteresis - provides reliable undervoltage detection for system-level power sequencing and fault reporting. |
| Enable Polarity | Active-low EN input - simplifies interface with standard logic-level control signals and microcontroller GPIOs. |
Pinout & Package
TPS77450DGK is packaged in an 8-pin MSOP (DGK) with 0.65-mm pitch, measuring 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 1.0 mm (max height), suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (FB/SENSE) | Feedback/Sense input | Connects to regulated output for fixed versions; used with external resistor divider for adjustable variants - requires short, low-noise routing to avoid instability. |
| 2 (PG) | Power-good open-drain output | Active-high status indicator; requires external pullup resistor - signals valid 5-V supply to host controller or FPGA configuration logic. |
| 3 (EN) | Enable input | Active-low logic control; <0.7 V disables regulator, >2 V enables - compatible with 3.3-V and 5-V digital I/O standards. |
| 4 (GND) | Regulator ground | Common return path for input, output, and internal circuitry - must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane. |
| 5, 6 (IN) | Input voltage terminals | Dual-input pins reduce trace resistance and improve current handling - accept 2.7 V to 10 V input, with minimum VI = VO + 1 V (6.0 V for 5-V output). |
| 7, 8 (OUT) | Regulated output terminals | Dual-output pins lower conduction loss and improve thermal performance - deliver stable 5.0 V to load with ≤1 mV load regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PMOS Pass Element | Enables ultra-low dropout (200 mV @ 250 mA) and load-independent quiescent current - maximizes usable battery voltage range. |
| Integrated Power-Good | Open-drain PG output with precise 82% VOUT trip point and hysteresis - eliminates need for external supervisor IC in power sequencing designs. |
| Low-Noise Regulation | 55 µVrms output noise without external filter capacitor - reduces BOM count and board area in audio, sensor, and RF applications. |
| Capacitor Flexibility | Stable with 1-µF tantalum (low capacitance) or 10-µF ceramic (low ESR) output capacitors - supports diverse sourcing and cost-optimized designs. |
| Fast Transient Response | Maintains <1% output deviation during 250-mA load steps - preserves signal integrity in burst-mode wireless transceivers and high-speed data converters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS76350DBVR | 200-mA output, 120-µA quiescent current, no PG output, SOT-23-5 package | Lacks power-good signaling; smaller footprint but lower current capability | Select when PG is unnecessary and board space is constrained; verify thermal derating at 250 mA. |
| TLV70050DDCR | 200-mA output, 35-µA quiescent current, active-high PG, 5-pin SOT-23 package | Lower IQ but reduced current rating; active-high PG simplifies pullup design | Prefer for ultra-low-power applications where 200 mA suffices and active-high logic is preferred. |
Compared with TPS77450DGK, TPS76350DBVR trades PG functionality and current headroom for smaller size, while TLV70050DDCR offers lower quiescent current but sacrifices 50 mA of output capacity and uses different PG polarity - all three require distinct PCB layouts due to differing pinouts and packages.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable operation of the TPS77450DGK?
The minimum input voltage for the TPS77450DGK is 6.0 V, calculated as VOUT + 1 V (5.0 V + 1 V) per datasheet Section 7. For reliable 250-mA operation, VI must exceed VO by at least the dropout voltage (200 mV typical), making 5.2 V the theoretical minimum - but 6.0 V is the specified minimum to ensure full specification compliance across temperature and process variation. Input below 6.0 V may cause PG assertion or regulation loss.
Does the TPS77450DGK require an external filter capacitor to achieve its 55-µVrms noise specification?
No, the TPS77450DGK achieves 55-µVrms output noise (300 Hz–100 kHz) without any external filter or bypass capacitor - a key differentiator from most low-noise LDOs. This specification is verified per datasheet Figure 8 and applies to the TPS77418 and TPS77450 variants. Adding external capacitors does not further reduce noise but may be needed for stability or transient response depending on output capacitor ESR.
How does the power-good (PG) output of the TPS77450DGK behave during startup and fault conditions?
At power-up, the PG output remains low until VOUT reaches 82% of 5.0 V (4.1 V), then transitions to high-impedance (logic high with external pullup). During operation, if VOUT falls below 4.1 V due to overload or input sag, PG pulls low immediately - no delay. Hysteresis of ~0.5% VOUT prevents chatter near the threshold. The TPS77450DGK PG is open-drain and requires an external pullup resistor to the desired logic rail.
Can the TPS77450DGK be used with a 1-µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes, the TPS77450DGK is stable with a 1-µF ceramic output capacitor provided its ESR falls within the region of stability shown in Figure 18 (ESR < 0.1 Ω at 25°C for 1-µF case). However, the datasheet recommends ≥10 µF ceramic or ≥1 µF tantalum for robustness across temperature and load. Using 1 µF ceramic may reduce transient margin and requires careful ESR verification per Figures 18–21.
What is the thermal shutdown threshold and recovery behavior of the TPS77450DGK?
Thermal shutdown activates at a junction temperature of 144°C (typical), as specified in Section 7 of the datasheet. Once triggered, the TPS77450DGK disables the pass element and halts output regulation. Recovery is automatic: when junction temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~130°C), the device resumes normal operation without requiring an enable cycle. This protects against sustained overloads and poor heatsinking in enclosed environments.
