Product details
Overview
TPS77718PWPR from Texas Instruments is a 750-mA, 1.8-V fixed-output low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator with open-drain power-on reset (RESET), 2% output tolerance over line/load/temperature, 260 mV typical dropout at 750 mA, and 85 µA typical quiescent current. It operates from −40°C to 125°C and is used in battery-powered microcontroller systems requiring precise, low-noise 1.8-V supply with undervoltage monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the TPS77718PWPR datasheet, TPS77718PWPR pinout, TPS77718PWPR application, or TPS77718PWPR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 20-pin HTSSOP PowerPAD™ package with thermal-sink pins, RESET timeout delay of 200 ms, PMOS pass element enabling load-independent quiescent current, and compatibility with 10 µF low-ESR output capacitors for fast transient response.
Technical Context
The TPS77718PWPR integrates a precision 1.1834-V internal reference and comparator to monitor regulated output voltage, asserting open-drain RESET when VO drops to 92–98% of nominal (1.656–1.764 V). Its PMOS pass transistor delivers ultralow, load-invariant quiescent current (85 µA typ, 125 µA max at 750 mA) and avoids saturation in dropout-critical for battery longevity and reliable startup under marginal input conditions.
Designed for stability with 10 µF ceramic or tantalum output capacitors (ESR 50 mΩ–1.5 Ω), it features thermal shutdown at 150°C, current limiting (~1.7 A), and enable-controlled shutdown reducing quiescent current to 1 µA. The 200-ms RESET delay is internally generated and independent of external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±2% over line, load, and temperature (−40°C to 125°C); ensures stable core logic supply for 1.8-V ASICs/FPGAs. |
| Max Output Current | 750 mA continuous; supports moderate-power digital loads like microcontrollers, ADCs, and interface ICs without external boost. |
| Dropout Voltage | 260 mV typical at 750 mA; enables operation down to VIN = 2.06 V, extending usable battery range in single-cell Li-ion or dual-cell alkaline systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 85 µA typical (0–750 mA load); remains constant across load, maximizing battery life in always-on or low-duty-cycle applications. |
| RESET Threshold | 92–98% of VO (1.656–1.764 V); provides hysteresis to prevent chatter during brownout recovery; open-drain output requires external pullup. |
| RESET Delay | 200 ms fixed internal timeout; ensures clean system reset after power stabilization, eliminating need for external RC timing networks. |
| Thermal Protection | Shuts down at TJ ≈ 150°C; resumes operation at ≈130°C; protects against sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking in compact layouts. |
Pinout & Package
TPS77718PWPR uses the 20-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package with exposed thermal pad (PowerPAD™) and eight dedicated GND/HSINK pins (pins 1, 2, 9, 10, 11, 12, 19, 20) for enhanced thermal performance and low-impedance grounding.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 9, 10, 11, 12, 19, 20 | GND/HSINK | Ground return and thermal heatsink connection; must be soldered to large copper pour for ≤23.5 mW/°C derating and 1.9 W max power dissipation at 70°C ambient. |
| 3 | GND | Primary regulator ground reference; connects to system ground plane with low-inductance path to minimize noise coupling. |
| 4, 8, 17, 18 | NC | No internal connection; left unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling or unintended shorts. |
| 5, 6 | OUT | Regulated 1.8-V output; requires ≥10 µF low-ESR capacitor (50 mΩ–1.5 Ω) between OUT and GND for loop stability and transient response. |
| 7 | FB/NC | No-connect for fixed-output TPS77718PWPR; left floating (not tied to OUT) to avoid feedback path disruption or instability. |
| 13, 14 | OUT | Second pair of output terminals; paralleled with pins 5/6 to reduce trace resistance and improve current sharing in high-current layouts. |
| 15 | FB/NC | No-connect (same as pin 7); unused in fixed-voltage configuration; must not be connected to any node. |
| 16 | RESET | Open-drain RESET output; sinks current when VO falls below threshold; requires external pullup resistor (e.g., 10 kΩ to 3.3 V) for active-low reset signaling. |
| 5, 6, 13, 14 | OUT | Four parallel output pins reduce IR drop and thermal stress; all must be routed with equal-length, low-impedance traces to load. |
| 6, 7 | IN | Input voltage supply (2.7–10 V); accepts 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor near pin for improved high-frequency noise rejection. |
| 5 | EN | Enable input; TTL-compatible (VIH ≥ 1.7 V, VIL ≤ 0.9 V); drives regulator into 1 µA standby mode when pulled high. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PMOS Pass Element | Enables 85 µA load-independent quiescent current and eliminates base-drive saturation issues-critical for long battery life and robust startup under low VIN. |
| Integrated 200-ms RESET Timer | Eliminates external RC timing components; guarantees deterministic reset assertion after power stabilization, simplifying BOM and layout. |
| Stable with 10 µF Low-ESR Cap | Supports cost-effective ceramic or solid tantalum capacitors (no minimum ESR required), reducing solution size and improving transient response vs. larger electrolytics. |
| Thermal PowerPAD™ Package | 20-pin HTSSOP with 8 thermal-sink pins delivers 2.9 W power dissipation (0 CFM airflow), enabling higher current operation in space-constrained industrial designs. |
| Wide Operating Temperature | Specified from −40°C to 125°C junction temperature; qualified for automotive under-hood, industrial control, and outdoor embedded applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS77718D | Same electrical specs but in 8-pin SOIC (D) package; no thermal pad; 568 mW max power dissipation (0 CFM). | Limited to lower-current or better-ventilated applications; unsuitable for >300 mA continuous in sealed enclosures. | Select TPS77718D only when board space is constrained and thermal budget allows SOIC-level dissipation. |
| TLV70718PDQNR | Lower IQ (25 µA), smaller 5-pin SOT-23 package, but only 300 mA output and no RESET function. | Cannot replace TPS77718PWPR where RESET supervision or >300 mA load current is required. | Choose TLV70718PDQNR for ultra-low-power, space-limited apps without reset monitoring needs. |
Compared with TPS77718D and TLV70718PDQNR, the TPS77718PWPR uniquely combines 750 mA output, integrated 200-ms RESET, and 2.9 W thermal capability in a surface-mount package-making it optimal for thermally demanding, safety-critical 1.8-V regulation tasks.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for TPS77718PWPR to maintain regulation?
The minimum input voltage for TPS77718PWPR is determined by its dropout voltage: VIN(min) = VOUT + VDO. At 750 mA and 25°C, VDO is 260 mV, so VIN must be ≥2.06 V. Per datasheet Section 6, the absolute minimum VIN is 2.7 V unless VOUT + VDO is greater-so 2.06 V applies only when VDO dominates. Always verify using the "Input Voltage (Min) vs Output Voltage" curve (Figure 14) for your specific load and temperature.
Does TPS77718PWPR require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, TPS77718PWPR features an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pullup resistor to a valid logic-high voltage (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V). Typical values range from 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ. Leaving RESET floating is acceptable if unused, but connecting it without pullup will prevent proper reset signaling to downstream logic.
Can TPS77718PWPR operate without an output capacitor?
No. TPS77718PWPR requires a minimum 10 µF output capacitor with ESR between 50 mΩ and 1.5 Ω for internal loop stability. Omitting it causes oscillation and output voltage collapse. Ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic types are acceptable if they meet ESR and capacitance specs-verified in Figures 21–24 of the datasheet.
What is the thermal performance difference between TPS77718PWPR and TPS77718D?
TPS77718PWPR (20-pin HTSSOP PowerPAD™) delivers up to 2.9 W power dissipation at 25°C ambient (0 CFM), while TPS77718D (8-pin SOIC) is limited to 568 mW. This 5× improvement stems from eight dedicated thermal-sink pins and the exposed copper pad, enabling TPS77718PWPR to sustain 750 mA continuously in compact, sealed enclosures where TPS77718D would thermally throttle.
Is the FB/NC pin on TPS77718PWPR connected internally or should it be left floating?
For TPS77718PWPR-a fixed-output variant-the FB/NC pins (7 and 15) are No Connect and must remain unconnected. They are not internally tied to OUT or grounded. Connecting them risks feedback loop disruption, instability, or damage. Datasheet Terminal Functions table explicitly states "no connect for fixed options."
