Product details
Overview
TPS78411QWDRBRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive LDO voltage regulator delivering 300 mA output current with 115 mV max dropout at 3.3 VOUT, ±1.7% output accuracy over –40°C to +150°C junction temperature, and 50-dB PSRR up to 100 kHz-designed for powering noise-sensitive analog circuits in automotive head units and instrument clusters.
For engineers reviewing the TPS78411QWDRBRQ1 datasheet, TPS78411QWDRBRQ1 pinout, TPS78411QWDRBRQ1 application, or TPS78411QWDRBRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low quiescent current (25 µA typ), active output discharge, functional safety documentation support, and wettable flank VSON-8 packaging for automated optical inspection in automotive production.
Technical Context
The TPS78411QWDRBRQ1 implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout and high PSRR across wide load and line conditions. Its internal 500-µs soft-start limits inrush current during power-up, while foldback current limiting reduces thermal stress under sustained overload.
Functional safety capability is supported by TI's FIT rate data, failure mode analysis, and diagnostic coverage documentation-enabling integration into ASIL-B systems without requiring external monitoring circuitry for basic fault detection.

|---|---|
| Output current | 300 mA continuous-supports microcontroller cores, CAN transceivers, and ADCs in automotive ECUs |
| Dropout voltage | 115 mV max at 300 mA and 3.3 VOUT-enables regulation from 3.3 V input down to 3.185 V output, preserving headroom in low-voltage battery scenarios |
| Output accuracy | ±1.7% over –40°C to +150°C-ensures stable reference for precision sensors and high-resolution DACs |
| PSRR | 50 dB at 100 kHz-suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters feeding sensitive RF or audio subsystems |
| IQ | 25 µA typical-extends battery runtime in always-on automotive modules such as telematics wake-up circuits |
| Enable threshold | VEN(HI) = 0.85 V min-compatible with 1.2-V and 1.8-V logic-level control signals without level-shifting |
| Soft-start time | 500 µs internal-reduces required input capacitance and eliminates need for external timing components |
Pinout & Package

| 4 - NC | No-connect | Not internally bonded; connect to GND for improved thermal dissipation |
| 5 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for load current and internal bias; must be low-impedance connection to system GND plane |
| 6 - EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input; drives device ON when ≥0.85 V, OFF when ≤0.425 V; must not float |
| 7 - NC | No-connect | Not internally bonded; connect to GND for improved thermal dissipation |
| 8 - IN | Input supply | Accepts 1.65 V to 6.0 V; requires ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND placed adjacent to pin |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7B8711QKVURQ1 | Higher IQ (35 µA typ), lower PSRR (40 dB @ 100 kHz), no active discharge | Lacks active output discharge and has reduced noise rejection-less suitable for fast power sequencing or RF-sensitive loads | Select when cost optimization outweighs need for ultra-low noise or controlled shutdown discharge |
| TLV73311PQDBVRQ1 | Lower output current (300 mA same), higher dropout (250 mV @ 300 mA), no functional safety documentation | Not AEC-Q100 certified for Grade 1; lacks FIT/FMEA support-requires additional validation for ASIL-B systems | Select only for non-safety-critical body electronics where qualification overhead is prohibitive |
Compared with TPS7B8711QKVURQ1 and TLV73311PQDBVRQ1, the TPS78411QWDRBRQ1 uniquely combines Grade 1 AEC-Q100 qualification, functional safety documentation, active output discharge, and 50-dB PSRR-making it the only choice for ASIL-B-compliant, noise-sensitive, fast-sequencing automotive LDO applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum dropout voltage specification for TPS78411QWDRBRQ1 at full 300-mA load?
The TPS78411QWDRBRQ1 has a maximum dropout voltage of 115 mV at 300 mA output current and 3.3 V output voltage, measured under conditions where VOUT = 0.95 × VOUT(nom). This value is specified for the DRB (VSON-8) package and applies across the full –40°C to +150°C junction temperature range.
Does TPS78411QWDRBRQ1 support adjustable output voltage configurations?
No, TPS78411QWDRBRQ1 is a fixed-output 1.1-V variant. It does not include a feedback (FB) pin and is not configurable via external resistors. Adjustable versions of the TPS784-Q1 family use different part numbers (e.g., TPS78412QWDRBRQ1 for 1.2 V adjustable) and feature distinct pinouts with FB functionality.
How does the active output discharge function operate in TPS78411QWDRBRQ1?
When the EN pin is driven low, TPS78411QWDRBRQ1 activates an internal pulldown circuit between OUT and GND, discharging the output capacitor rapidly. The pulldown resistance is 120 Ω at 3.3 V input, ensuring sub-millisecond discharge of typical 1-µF output capacitors-critical for preventing back-powering and enabling deterministic power-down sequencing.
Is TPS78411QWDRBRQ1 qualified for ASIL-B functional safety applications?
Yes, TPS78411QWDRBRQ1 is functional safety-capable with documented FIT rate, failure mode analysis, and diagnostic coverage metrics provided by Texas Instruments. While the device itself is not ASIL-B certified, its safety documentation supports integration into ASIL-B systems per ISO 26262, enabling reuse in safety-related automotive designs without requalification.
What thermal performance can be expected from TPS78411QWDRBRQ1 in the VSON-8 package?
In the wettable flank VSON-8 (DRB) package, TPS78411QWDRBRQ1 achieves a junction-to-board thermal resistance (RθJB) of 34.3°C/W and junction-to-ambient (RθJA) of 61.8°C/W with standard JEDEC 2-layer board layout. With proper GND plane connectivity to the thermal pad, it sustains 300 mA continuous output at +125°C ambient without thermal shutdown.
