Product details
Overview
TPS78415QDBVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive LDO voltage regulator delivering 300 mA output with 1.5 V fixed output, 115 mV max dropout at 300 mA, 0.5% typical output accuracy, and 50-dB PSRR up to 100 kHz-designed for powering sensitive analog circuits in head units and instrument clusters.
For engineers reviewing the TPS78415QDBVRQ1 datasheet, TPS78415QDBVRQ1 pinout, TPS78415QDBVRQ1 application, or TPS78415QDBVRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal performance data, functional safety documentation support, and validated alternatives for automotive power rail design.
Technical Context
The TPS78415QDBVRQ1 implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout and high PSRR across 10 Hz–1 MHz. Its internal 500-µs soft-start and active output discharge circuit ensure controlled power sequencing and rapid load discharge during disable.
It features foldback current limiting (320–420 mA), thermal shutdown (170°C trip), and AEC-Q100-compliant operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient (–40°C to +150°C junction), with input voltage range 1.65 V to 6.0 V supporting post-regulation after DC/DC converters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5 V - matches common low-voltage analog rails (e.g., ADC reference, sensor interface) |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA - sufficient for multi-rail SoC core/peripheral domains in telematics modules |
| Dropout Voltage | 115 mV (max) at 300 mA - enables stable regulation from 1.65 V input (e.g., LiFePO₄ battery or buck converter output) |
| Output Accuracy | ±1.7% over –40°C to +150°C - ensures timing-critical analog subsystems remain within spec across full automotive temperature range |
| PSRR | 50 dB @ 100 kHz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters feeding RF or audio circuits |
| Quiescent Current | 25 µA (typical) - supports always-on functions (e.g., CAN wake-up logic) without excessive battery drain |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(HI) = 0.85 V (min) - compatible with 1.2-V or 1.8-V logic-level control signals |
Pinout & Package
TPS78415QDBVRQ1 uses the 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package (2.90 mm × 1.60 mm), optimized for space-constrained automotive PCBs and compatible with standard reflow profiles. Thermal performance is enhanced via GND pin and board-level copper pour.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN | Input supply connection | Accepts 1.65–6.0 V; requires ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability and transient response |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Must connect directly to low-impedance system ground plane; serves as thermal path and feedback reference |
| 3 - EN | Logic-controlled enable input | Active-high; drives device ON when ≥0.85 V; must not float-tie to IN if unused |
| 4 - NC | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; recommended to leave floating or tie to GND for mechanical stability |
| 5 - OUT | Regulated output node | Delivers 1.5 V ±1.7%; requires ≥0.47 µF ceramic capacitor to GND; supports 300-mA load |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation-meets automotive reliability and lifetime requirements |
| Functional Safety-Capable documentation | TI provides FIT rate, failure mode analysis, and diagnostic coverage reports to accelerate ISO 26262 ASIL-B/C system certification |
| Active output discharge | Internal pulldown resistor (~120 Ω) discharges output to GND within microseconds upon disable-prevents floating voltages in downstream circuits |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 25 µA typical IQ enables >1-year battery life in always-on vehicle modules (e.g., keyless entry receivers) |
| Foldback current limit | Reduces power dissipation during overload by lowering output current as VOUT drops-protects die during sustained short-circuit events |
Applications
| Automotive Head Units | Hybrid Instrument Clusters |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision LDO placed after buck converter to meet tight analog rail tolerances (<±2%) under dynamic load. Use Value: ±1.7% accuracy over full temperature range eliminates need for external trimming resistors or calibration in production test. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO voltage regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS78515QWDRBRQ1 | Higher PSRR (65 dB @ 100 kHz), lower IQ (1.4 µA), same 1.5-V fixed output and SOT-23-5 package | Better suited for ultra-low-power always-on nodes (e.g., intrusion detection sensors); lacks active discharge | Select when lowest possible quiescent current and highest PSRR are critical; verify discharge requirement compatibility |
| NCP115ASN150T2G | 1.5-V fixed output, 300-mA rating, but only AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (–40°C to +105°C), no functional safety documentation | Limited to cabin-temperature applications (e.g., non-critical body control modules); no ISO 26262 support | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical automotive subsystems where extended temperature range is not required |
Compared with TPS78415QDBVRQ1, TPS78515QWDRBRQ1 offers superior PSRR and nanoamp-level quiescent current but omits active output discharge-critical for fail-safe shutdown behavior. NCP115ASN150T2G provides basic 1.5-V regulation at lower cost but lacks Grade 1 qualification and functional safety assets.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the TPS78415QDBVRQ1?
The TPS78415QDBVRQ1 has an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.5 V, with recommended operating input range from 1.65 V to 6.0 V. Exceeding 6.5 V risks permanent damage. The device's UVLO threshold activates at 1.32–1.6 V (rising), ensuring safe startup only when input is within specification.
Does the TPS78415QDBVRQ1 include active output discharge functionality?
Yes, the TPS78415QDBVRQ1 integrates an active pulldown circuit that discharges the output capacitor rapidly when the EN pin is driven low. This feature prevents floating voltages on downstream circuitry during power-down sequences, enhancing system reliability in automotive applications requiring strict fail-safe behavior.
What is the thermal performance of the TPS78415QDBVRQ1 in its SOT-23 package?
The TPS78415QDBVRQ1 in the DBV (SOT-23-5) package has a junction-to-board thermal resistance (RθJB) of 10.2°C/W and a junction-to-ambient resistance (RθJA) of 170.8°C/W under standard JEDEC conditions. Effective PCB layout-using thermal vias and GND copper pour-is essential to maintain junction temperature ≤150°C at 300 mA load.
Is the TPS78415QDBVRQ1 qualified for functional safety applications per ISO 26262?
The TPS78415QDBVRQ1 is labeled "Functional Safety-Capable" by Texas Instruments, meaning it ships with documentation-including FIT rate, failure mode analysis, and diagnostic coverage reports-to support ISO 26262 ASIL-B or ASIL-C system-level certification. However, final safety validation remains the responsibility of the end-system integrator.
Can the TPS78415QDBVRQ1 be used with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 1 µF?
Yes-the TPS78415QDBVRQ1 is stable with a minimum effective output capacitance of 0.47 µF. While 1 µF is recommended for optimal transient response, designs using 0.47 µF X7R ceramics meet stability requirements and reduce BOM count and board area in space-constrained automotive modules.
