Product details
Overview
TPS77501PWP from Texas Instruments is an adjustable 500mA low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator with open-drain RESET output, PMOS pass element, 169mV typical dropout at 500mA, ±2% output voltage accuracy over line/load/temperature, and 85µA typical quiescent current. It operates from 2.7V to 10V input and delivers 1.5V–5.5V output, used in FPGA core power, DSP I/O rails, and battery-powered microprocessor systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS77501PWP datasheet, TPS77501PWP pinout, TPS77501PWP application, or TPS77501PWP equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin HTSSOP PowerPAD™ package, RESET timeout delay (200ms), trip threshold (92–98% VOUT), thermal shutdown (150°C), and compatibility with 10µF low-ESR output capacitors.
Technical Context
The TPS77501PWP uses a PMOS pass transistor enabling ultralow, load-independent quiescent current (85µA typ) and linear dropout behavior proportional to output current. Its internal 1.183V reference feeds a high-impedance feedback amplifier for precise output regulation via external resistor divider on FB pin.
RESET functionality is implemented with an internal comparator monitoring VOUT against 92–98% of nominal output, triggering an open-drain output after a fixed 200ms delay upon undervoltage detection. The device supports zero-load operation and requires no minimum output capacitance beyond stability constraints (10µF, 50mΩ–1.5Ω ESR).
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
TPS77501PWP is housed in a 20-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package with exposed thermal pad (PowerPAD™) requiring soldering to PCB ground plane for thermal management. Pin count, layout, and thermal design follow TI's recommended copper heat sink pattern on multilayer boards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 12, 19, 20 | GND / HSINK | Ground return and thermal path - all must be connected to PCB ground plane |

| 7 | FB/NC | Feedback input for adjustable output - connects to resistor divider; NC on fixed versions |
| 6, 7 | IN | Main input voltage supply - accepts 2.7V–10V; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic if > few inches from source |
| 13, 14 | OUT | Regulated output - requires 10µF low-ESR capacitor (50mΩ–1.5Ω) for stability |
| 16 | RESET/PG | Open-drain RESET output - active-low, 200ms delay, 0.15V max VOL at 1mA |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main system regulator with integrated undervoltage reset to prevent firmware corruption during brownout. Use Value: 85µA quiescent current extends battery life in sleep mode; RESET asserts at 92–98% VOUT to provide early warning before functional failure. | Use Scenario: Providing isolated 2.5V or 3.3V rail for precision ADCs, op-amps, and digital isolators in factory-floor sensor transmitters.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7A4700RGWR | Lower noise (4.7µVRMS), higher PSRR (78dB @ 1kHz), but 200mA max output and 10-pin QFN package | Preferred for ultra-low-noise analog rails (e.g., precision ADC reference); not suitable for >200mA digital loads | Select TPS7A4700RGWR only when noise/PSRR outweighs current capability and board space constraints |
| LP3878MRX-ADJ | Same 500mA rating and adjustable output, but uses PNP pass element (higher IQ: 1.5mA), no RESET, SO-8 package | Lacks power-monitoring function; less efficient in battery systems due to higher quiescent current | Choose LP3878MRX-ADJ only when RESET is unnecessary and SO-8 footprint is mandatory |
Compared with TPS7A4700RGWR, TPS77501PWP delivers 2.5× higher output current and integrated RESET but trades off 73dB vs 78dB PSRR and 53µVRMS vs 4.7µVRMS noise. Against LP3878MRX-ADJ, it achieves 18× lower quiescent current and adds fault monitoring - critical for energy-constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the TPS77501PWP?
The TPS77501PWP has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +13.5V, but its recommended operating input range is 2.7V to 10V. Exceeding 10V may degrade long-term reliability or trigger overvoltage stress not covered by specification limits. Always maintain VIN ≤ 10V under normal operation to ensure compliance with electrical characteristics and thermal performance data in the SLVS232J datasheet.
Does the TPS77501PWP require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, the TPS77501PWP RESET pin is open-drain and requires an external pull-up resistor to a valid logic-high voltage (e.g., VOUT or another system rail). Typical values range from 10kΩ to 100kΩ. Without pull-up, the RESET signal remains floating and cannot drive downstream reset circuitry. The datasheet specifies a maximum low-level output voltage of 0.4V at 1mA sink current, confirming active-pull-down capability.
Can the TPS77501PWP operate without any output load connected?
Yes, the TPS77501PWP is explicitly characterized for zero-load operation and remains stable with no minimum output current requirement. This is enabled by its PMOS pass architecture and internal compensation optimized for 10µF output capacitors. Unlike many bipolar-based LDOs, it does not need a dummy load resistor to maintain regulation or avoid oscillation - simplifying designs for intermittently active subsystems.
What thermal derating applies to the TPS77501PWP in a high-K PCB configuration?
In a high-K PCB configuration (8-layer board with thermal planes), the TPS77501PWP has a thermal derating factor of 57.9mW/°C above +25°C ambient, with 3200mW dissipation at +70°C and 2300mW at +85°C. This assumes TI's recommended copper heat sink pattern per SLMA002. Actual performance depends on local copper area, airflow, and adjacent heat sources - always verify junction temperature using TJ = TA + (PD × θJA).
How is the output voltage set on the TPS77501PWP?
The TPS77501PWP output voltage is set using an external resistor divider between OUT, FB, and GND. With a fixed internal reference of 1.183V, VOUT = 1.183V × (1 + R1/R2). TI recommends R2 = 110kΩ for ~10µA divider current; R1 is then calculated per target VOUT. For example, 3.3V output requires R1 ≈ 196kΩ. The FB pin's high impedance minimizes loading error, but routing should avoid noisy traces to prevent regulation instability.
