Product details
Overview
TPS79933QDDCRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 qualified automotive-grade 200-mA low-dropout linear regulator with fixed 3.3-V output, 40-μA quiescent current, 100-mV typical dropout at full load, 29.5-μVRMS output noise, and 66-dB PSRR at 1 kHz - deployed in infotainment power rails and ADAS sensor supply domains.
For engineers reviewing the TPS79933QDDCRQ1 datasheet, TPS79933QDDCRQ1 pinout, TPS79933QDDCRQ1 application, or TPS79933QDDCRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low noise for RF/analog subsystems, thermal robustness to +125°C, fast 45-μs startup with NR-pin support, and compatibility with 2-μF ceramic output capacitance in space-constrained SOT-23 packaging.
Technical Context
The TPS79933QDDCRQ1 uses a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout (100 mV @ 200 mA) while maintaining high PSRR across 100 Hz–1 MHz. Its precision bandgap reference and high-gain error amplifier deliver ±2% total output accuracy over load, line, and temperature (–40°C to +125°C).
A dedicated noise-reduction (NR) pin allows external 0.01-μF capacitor bypassing of internal reference noise, reducing output noise to 29.5 μVRMS. An integrated quick-start circuit charges the NR capacitor within 135 μs, enabling fast 45-μs system startup without compromising noise performance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±1% at TJ = 25°C; ±2% over full operating range (–40°C to +125°C) |
| Max output current | 200 mA continuous - supports mid-power analog/RF ICs like ADCs, transceivers, and camera sensors |
| Quiescent current | 40 μA typical - enables always-on functionality in battery-backed automotive modules |
| Noise (10 Hz–100 kHz) | 29.5 μVRMS with 0.01-μF NR capacitor - meets stringent noise requirements for RF front-ends and precision signal chains |
| PSRR @ 1 kHz | 66 dB - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding sensitive analog loads |
| Dropout voltage | 100 mV @ 200 mA - allows operation from 3.4 V input when powering 3.3-V loads, minimizing power loss |
| Enable threshold | VEN(HI) = 1.2 V min - compatible with 1.8-V and 3.3-V logic control signals without level-shifting |
Pinout & Package
TPS79933QDDCRQ1 is packaged in a 5-pin thin SOT-23 (DDC) package measuring 2.9 mm × 2.8 mm, with exposed thermal pad connected internally to GND for enhanced thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.7–6.5 V input; requires ≥2.7 V or VOUT + VDO (≥3.4 V for 3.3-V output) |
| GND | Power ground reference | Primary return path; thermal pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal compliance |
| EN | Active-high enable control | Drives regulator ON above 1.2 V; shutdown draws only 0.15 μA - enables low-power sleep modes |
| NR | Noise reduction bypass node | Connects to 0.01-μF capacitor to shunt bandgap reference noise; enables 29.5-μVRMS performance |
| OUT | Regulated output terminal | Delivers stable 3.3 V; requires ≥2-μF ceramic capacitor (X5R/X7R) for stability and transient response |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation - suitable for under-hood and instrument cluster deployments |
| Ultra-low noise with NR pin | 29.5 μVRMS output noise via external 0.01-μF capacitor - eliminates need for post-regulation filtering in RF sections |
| Fast startup with quick-start circuit | 45-μs output rise time enabled by internal 135-μs NR-capacitor charge pulse - critical for wake-from-sleep timing in ADAS |
| High PSRR across wide frequency | 66 dB @ 1 kHz, 51 dB @ 10 kHz - rejects ripple from buck converters powering adjacent high-speed digital blocks |
| Stable with low-ESR ceramics | Guaranteed stability with ≥2-μF X5R/X7R capacitors (ESR < 1 Ω) - simplifies layout and reduces BOM count vs tantalum solutions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS79933QDRVQ1 | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin WSON-6 (2 mm × 2 mm); includes NC pin and no NR pin - uses FB instead of NR for adjustable versions | WSON offers better thermal resistance (RθJA = 74.2°C/W vs 178.1°C/W) but lacks NR pin - unsuitable for ultra-low-noise fixed-output use cases | Select TPS79933QDRVQ1 only when board space is constrained and thermal performance outweighs noise requirements |
| NCP1117ST33T3G | Industrial-grade (not AEC-Q100), higher IQ (6 mA), higher noise (120 μVRMS), no NR pin, 1.2-V dropout @ 800 mA | Lacks automotive qualification, thermal derating, and noise performance - limited to non-safety-critical cabin modules | Use NCP1117ST33T3G only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive prototypes where AEC-Q100 and ultra-low noise are not required |
Compared with TPS79933QDDCRQ1, the TPS79933QDRVQ1 trades NR-pin noise suppression for superior thermal performance in smaller footprint, while the NCP1117ST33T3G sacrifices automotive reliability and noise performance for lower unit cost - making TPS79933QDDCRQ1 the sole choice for production-grade, noise-sensitive automotive LDO applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for TPS79933QDDCRQ1?
The absolute maximum input voltage for TPS79933QDDCRQ1 is 7 V, but the recommended operating range is 2.7 V to 6.5 V. Operation above 6.5 V risks exceeding safe power dissipation limits and may trigger thermal shutdown. For reliable 3.3-V output, minimum input must be ≥3.4 V to maintain 100-mV dropout headroom - verified per Section 6.3 of the SBVS097G datasheet.
Does TPS79933QDDCRQ1 require an external noise-reduction capacitor to achieve its specified 29.5-μVRMS noise?
Yes - TPS79933QDDCRQ1 achieves 29.5-μVRMS output noise only when a 0.01-μF ceramic capacitor is connected between the NR pin and GND. Without this capacitor, noise rises to ~94×VOUT μVRMS (≈313 μVRMS). The NR pin is specific to fixed-output variants like TPS79933QDDCRQ1 and is not present on adjustable versions.
Can TPS79933QDDCRQ1 be used with a 1-μF output capacitor instead of the recommended 2.2-μF value?
No - TPS79933QDDCRQ1 is only guaranteed stable with ≥2-μF ceramic output capacitance (X5R/X7R, ESR < 1 Ω). Using 1 μF violates the stability condition stated in Section 8.2.2.1 and may cause oscillation or poor transient response. The 2.2-μF value provides sufficient phase margin across –40°C to +125°C and all load conditions.
What is the thermal shutdown behavior of TPS79933QDDCRQ1, and how does it recover?
TPS79933QDDCRQ1 enters thermal shutdown at TJ ≈ 165°C and resumes regulation when TJ cools to ≈145°C. This hysteresis prevents rapid cycling. Recovery is automatic and does not require EN toggling. However, repeated thermal cycling degrades long-term reliability - design must limit steady-state TJ to ≤125°C using PCB copper area and thermal vias per Section 8.4.1.2.
Is TPS79933QDDCRQ1 pin-compatible with other members of the TPS799-Q1 family, such as TPS79918QDDCRQ1?
Yes - all TPS799xxQDDCRQ1 fixed-output variants share identical 5-pin SOT-23 (DDC) pinout and footprint. IN, GND, EN, NR, and OUT positions are identical across voltage options (1.2 V to 4.5 V). This enables drop-in replacement during design iteration or voltage optimization without PCB changes - confirmed in Figure 5-1 and Table 5-1 of the SBVS097G datasheet.
