Product details
Overview
TPS78425BQWDRBRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive LDO voltage regulator delivering 300 mA output with 0.65 V fixed output, 115 mV max dropout at 300 mA (3.3 VOUT), ±1.7% output accuracy over –40°C to +150°C, and 50-dB PSRR up to 100 kHz - used for powering infotainment SoCs and analog sensor rails in head units.
For engineers reviewing the TPS78425BQWDRBRQ1 datasheet, TPS78425BQWDRBRQ1 pinout, TPS78425BQWDRBRQ1 application, or TPS78425BQWDRBRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its wettable-flank VSON-8 package, functional safety documentation support, ultra-low 25 µA quiescent current, active output discharge, and 500-µs internal soft-start for reduced inrush in automotive power sequencing.
Technical Context
The TPS78425BQWDRBRQ1 implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout and high PSRR across wide load and temperature ranges. Its foldback current limit and thermal shutdown (170°C) provide robust fault protection during overload or ambient stress.
It integrates an enable input with logic-level thresholds (VEN(HI) = 0.85 V min), internal feedback reference (1.2 V nominal), and active pulldown circuitry for rapid output discharge when disabled - all qualified per AEC-Q100 for automotive junction temperatures from –40°C to +150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 0.65 V - supports low-voltage core rails for modern automotive processors and FPGAs. |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA - sufficient for post-regulation of intermediate power domains in telematics and instrument clusters. |
| Dropout Voltage | 115 mV max at 300 mA (for VOUT ≥ 2.5 V) - enables operation from 0.765 V input when regulating 0.65 V output. |
| Output Accuracy | ±1.7% over –40°C to +150°C - ensures stable voltage margining for safety-critical timing and ADC reference circuits. |
| PSRR | 50 dB at 100 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding sensitive analog subsystems. |
| Quiescent Current | 25 µA typical - minimizes standby power loss in always-on automotive modules like remote keyless entry receivers. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(HI) ≥ 0.85 V - compatible with 1.2-V or 1.8-V logic I/O without level-shifting in domain-powered systems. |
Pinout & Package
TPS78425BQWDRBRQ1 uses the 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm wettable flank VSON-8 (DRB) package with exposed thermal pad electrically tied to GND. Pin 1 is OUT; pin 5 is GND; pin 6 is EN; pins 2, 3, 4, and 7 are NC; pin 8 is IN.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 0.65 V to load; requires ≥0.47 µF ceramic capacitor to ground for stability. |
| 5 (GND) | Power ground | Reference node for regulation and thermal path; must connect to large PCB ground plane via thermal pad. |
| 6 (EN) | Enable control input | Logic-high (>0.85 V) enables regulator; logic-low (<0.425 V) disables with active pulldown. |
| 8 (IN) | Input supply | Accepts 1.65 V–6.0 V input; requires ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor close to pin for transient immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 | Qualified for –40°C to +125°C ambient (TJ up to +150°C), meeting automotive reliability and qualification requirements. |
| Active Output Discharge | Internal pulldown resistor (~120 Ω at 3.3 V) rapidly discharges output capacitance upon disable, preventing floating rail issues. |
| 500-µs Soft-Start | Internally controlled ramp reduces inrush current, allowing smaller input capacitors and easing system power-up sequencing. |
| Functional Safety Support | Documentation available (FIT rate, failure modes, diagnostic coverage) to aid ISO 26262 ASIL-B system design. |
| Foldback Current Limit | Reduces output current under short-circuit conditions to limit power dissipation and prevent thermal runaway. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7B8733QKVURQ1 | 3.3 V fixed output, 450 mA rating, higher IQ (30 µA), no active discharge | Designed for mid-rail supplies (e.g., MCU I/O), not sub-1 V core rails | Select when 3.3 V output and higher current are required; avoid for 0.65 V core regulation. |
| TLV733065PDQNR | 0.65 V fixed output, 300 mA, non-automotive grade (no AEC-Q100), 17 µA IQ | Lacks automotive qualification, thermal shutdown, and functional safety documentation | Use only in non-automotive industrial or consumer designs where AEC-Q100 is not mandated. |
Compared with TPS78425BQWDRBRQ1, the TPS7B8733QKVURQ1 provides higher current but lacks 0.65 V output and active discharge, while TLV733065PDQNR matches output voltage and current but omits automotive qualification and safety features critical for vehicle deployment.

FAQ
What is the output voltage of the TPS78425BQWDRBRQ1?
The TPS78425BQWDRBRQ1 provides a fixed 0.65 V output voltage optimized for low-voltage core rails in automotive processors and FPGAs. This value is factory-trimmed and does not require external resistors, ensuring consistent regulation across temperature and load conditions within ±1.7% accuracy over –40°C to +150°C junction range.
Does the TPS78425BQWDRBRQ1 support automotive qualification?
Yes, the TPS78425BQWDRBRQ1 is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 1 automotive applications, with operating ambient temperature from –40°C to +125°C and junction temperature up to +150°C. It includes functional safety documentation and meets stringent automotive reliability, ESD (±2 kV HBM), and thermal performance requirements.
What package type does the TPS78425BQWDRBRQ1 use?
The TPS78425BQWDRBRQ1 uses the 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm wettable flank VSON-8 (DRB) package with an exposed thermal pad connected to GND. This package supports automated optical inspection (AOI) and improves thermal performance with RθJA = 61.8°C/W, making it suitable for space-constrained automotive PCB layouts.
How does the enable function operate on the TPS78425BQWDRBRQ1?
The EN pin (Pin 6) on the TPS78425BQWDRBRQ1 controls device operation: logic high (≥0.85 V) enables regulation; logic low (≤0.425 V) disables output and activates internal pulldown. The pin must not be left floating - if unused, tie to IN. This enables precise power sequencing in multi-rail automotive systems.
What is the dropout voltage specification for the TPS78425BQWDRBRQ1 at full load?
At 300 mA output current and for VOUT ≥ 2.5 V, the TPS78425BQWDRBRQ1 has a maximum dropout voltage of 115 mV. For its 0.65 V output variant, dropout is specified at 900 mV (0.65 V ≤ VOUT < 0.8 V), enabling operation from inputs as low as 1.55 V while maintaining regulation - critical for battery-backed automotive subsystems.
