Product details
Overview
TPS79318DBVRG4 from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output 1.8 V, 200-mA low-dropout linear regulator with enable and noise-reduction pin, optimized for RF and audio power rails in portable electronics. It delivers 70 dB PSRR at 10 kHz, 32 µVRMS output noise (with 0.1 µF CNR), and 112 mV dropout at 200 mA - enabling stable supply to VCOs, ADCs, and Bluetooth® baseband ICs.
For engineers reviewing the TPS79318DBVRG4 datasheet, TPS79318DBVRG4 pinout, TPS79318DBVRG4 application, or TPS79318DBVRG4 equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SOT-23-5 pin mapping, real-world transient response data, and validated alternative parts for noise-sensitive LDO selection in battery-powered RF systems.
Technical Context
The TPS79318DBVRG4 uses a PMOS pass transistor architecture with integrated bandgap reference (1.225 V) and undervoltage lockout (UVLO rising threshold 2.65 V). Its feedback loop is internally compensated for stability with ≥2.2 µF ceramic output capacitance, eliminating need for external compensation components.
It features active-high enable (VEN(high) = 1.7 V min), shutdown current <1 µA, and a dedicated NR pin that accepts 0–10 nF capacitor to reduce output noise and improve PSRR above 10 kHz. Thermal shutdown activates at ~165°C and recovers at ~140°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±2% (1.764–1.836 V) across 0–200 mA load and –40°C to 125°C junction temperature. |
| Max Output Current | 200 mA continuous; internal foldback current limit engages at ~400 mA to protect during short-circuit events. |
| Dropout Voltage | 112 mV at 200 mA (measured at TJ = 25°C, VIN = 1.912 V); enables operation from single Li-ion cell down to ~2.7 V input. |
| PSRR | 70 dB at 10 kHz (VIN = 3.8 V, IOUT = 200 mA, CNR = 0.01 µF); suppresses switching noise from DC/DC converters feeding its input. |
| Output Noise | 32 µVRMS (BW = 200 Hz–100 kHz, CNR = 0.1 µF); meets stringent spectral purity requirements of RF receivers and high-resolution ADCs. |
| Quiescent Current | 170 µA typical (IOUT = 1 mA); reduces battery drain in always-on subsystems such as Bluetooth® standby mode. |
| Startup Time | 50 µs (CNR = 0.001 µF, RL = 14 Ω, COUT = 1 µF); supports fast wake-up sequences in low-power microcontroller applications. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body, 1.3 mm height, surface-mount, lead-free and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 1) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V; must exceed VOUT + VDO and UVLO threshold (2.65 V) for regulation. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Regulator ground reference | Low-impedance return path; requires solid PCB thermal pad connection for thermal performance. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable control input | Active-high logic; >1.7 V enables regulation; <0.7 V disables output and reduces IQ to <1 µA. |
| NR (Pin 4) | Noise reduction filter node | Connects external 0.001–0.1 µF capacitor to reduce broadband output noise and improve PSRR above 10 kHz. |
| OUT (Pin 5) | Regulated output | Delivers 1.8 V ±2%; requires ≥2.2 µF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitor (COUT) for stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low-noise regulation | 32 µVRMS output noise with 0.1 µF NR capacitor - enables clean power for RF VCOs and 16-bit+ ADCs without post-LDO filtering. |
| High-frequency PSRR | 70 dB rejection at 10 kHz - effectively isolates sensitive analog circuitry from digital switching noise on shared power rails. |
| Fast startup & low IQ | 50 µs turn-on time with 170 µA quiescent current - balances rapid system wake-up with multi-week battery life in portable devices. |
| Stable with small ceramics | Guaranteed stability using ≥2.2 µF X7R/X5R ceramic output capacitor - eliminates need for larger, higher-ESR tantalum or electrolytic caps. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown (~165°C), UVLO (2.65 V rising), and foldback current limiting - ensures robust operation under fault conditions without external circuitry. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise, 200-mA LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS79318DBVR | Same silicon, identical electrical specs; G4 suffix indicates enhanced green (lead-free, halogen-free) packaging per TI's legacy eco-labeling. | No functional difference; both qualified for same RF/audio use cases and thermal profiles. | Select TPS79318DBVRG4 when RoHS-6/REACH compliance and TI's green material declaration are required for final product certification. |
| TPS7A20185PDBVR | Lower IQ (6.5 µA typ), lower noise (5.7 µVRMS), but reduced PSRR (42 dB @ 10 kHz) and max IOUT (300 mA). | Better for ultra-low-power always-on sensors; less suitable for RF where PSRR >65 dB at 10 kHz is critical. | Choose TPS7A20185PDBVR only if standby current dominates design priority and RF noise immunity is secondary. |
Compared with TPS79318DBVRG4, the TPS79318DBVR offers identical performance in a non-green package, while TPS7A20185PDBVR trades PSRR for ultra-low IQ - making TPS79318DBVRG4 the optimal choice for RF-sensitive 1.8 V rails demanding balanced noise, PSRR, and transient response.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for TPS79318DBVRG4 to regulate 1.8 V output?
The TPS79318DBVRG4 requires VIN ≥ 2.7 V per recommended operating conditions. However, to maintain regulation at full 200 mA load, VIN must be ≥ VOUT + VDO = 1.8 V + 0.112 V = 1.912 V. Below 2.7 V, UVLO may disable the device; the actual minimum functional VIN is 2.65 V (UVLO rising threshold), but stable regulation begins at 2.7 V with margin.
Can TPS79318DBVRG4 operate without the NR (noise reduction) capacitor?
Yes, the TPS79318DBVRG4 functions without the NR capacitor, but output noise increases significantly: from 32 µVRMS (with 0.1 µF NR) to 55 µVRMS (with 0.001 µF NR). PSRR above 10 kHz also degrades. For RF or high-precision analog applications, TI specifies 0.01–0.1 µF on NR to achieve datasheet noise and PSRR performance.
Is TPS79318DBVRG4 pin-compatible with other TPS793 variants in SOT-23-5?
Yes - all fixed-output TPS793x8 DBV variants (e.g., TPS79328, TPS79330) share identical SOT-23-5 pinout: IN, GND, EN, NR, OUT. The TPS79318DBVRG4 can be substituted on the same footprint for any 1.8 V requirement, provided input voltage and load conditions remain within spec.
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for TPS79318DBVRG4?
The TPS79318DBVRG4 has a maximum operating junction temperature of 125°C. Thermal shutdown activates at ~165°C (non-destructive protection), but continuous operation above 125°C violates recommended conditions and risks reliability degradation. Derating is required based on RθJA = 225.1°C/W (DBV package) and ambient conditions.
Does TPS79318DBVRG4 require an external feedback resistor network?
No - the TPS79318DBVRG4 is a fixed-output variant with internal feedback divider. External resistors are only required for the adjustable TPS79301. Using TPS79318DBVRG4 eliminates FB pin routing and resistor placement, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count for 1.8 V applications.
