Product details
Overview
TPS7A1008PYKAR from Texas Instruments is a 300-mA, ultra-low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) with dual-rail operation (VIN and VBIAS), fixed 0.8-V output, 0.75-V minimum input voltage, 70-mV max dropout at 300 mA (YKA package), and ±1.5% output accuracy over –40°C to +125°C. It powers core rails in space-constrained, battery-powered devices such as smart wearables and camera modules.
For engineers reviewing the TPS7A1008PYKAR datasheet, TPS7A1008PYKAR pinout, TPS7A1008PYKAR application, or TPS7A1008PYKAR equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low VIN support (down to 0.75 V), bias-rail efficiency optimization (VBIAS = 1.7–5.5 V), active output discharge capability, and DSBGA-5 (YKA) package compatibility with sub-1-mm² layouts.
Technical Context
The TPS7A1008PYKAR uses a dual-supply architecture: VIN supplies the pass element while VBIAS powers internal control circuitry, enabling stable regulation even when VIN is only 70 mV above VOUT. Its global UVLO requires both VIN > 675 mV (rising) and VBIAS > 1.54 V (rising) before enabling regulation.
It integrates a monotonic soft-start, thermal shutdown (160°C trip), and - in the P-version (denoted by 'P' in YKAR suffix) - an active pulldown resistor (120 Ω) for controlled output discharge. PSRR reaches 60 dB at 1 kHz under both VIN and VBIAS inputs, supporting noise-sensitive analog and RF loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 0.8 V ±1.5% over load, line, and temperature - ensures stable core supply for low-voltage MCUs and sensors. |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA continuous - supports high-transient digital loads like image sensors and Bluetooth SoCs. |
| VIN Dropout (300 mA) | 70 mV maximum (YKA package) - minimizes power loss and extends battery runtime in Li-ion/Li-poly systems. |
| VIN Operating Range | 0.75 V to 3.3 V - enables direct connection to buck converter outputs or partially discharged batteries. |
| VBIAS Range | 1.7 V to 5.5 V - decouples control logic power from low-VIN path, improving efficiency in LILO (low-input, low-output) designs. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.6 µA (VIN) + 6 µA (VBIAS) typical - reduces no-load current draw critical for multi-week standby in wearables. |
| PSRR @ 1 kHz | 60 dB (VIN and VBIAS) - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding sensitive analog circuits. |
Pinout & Package
TPS7A1008PYKAR is packaged in a 0.74-mm × 1.09-mm, 0.35-mm pitch, 5-pin DSBGA (YKA) package - optimized for ultra-dense portable PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Main power input | Connects to low-voltage source (e.g., buck output); must be bypassed with ≥2.2 µF ceramic capacitor close to pin. |
| OUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable 0.8 V; requires ≥2.2 µF output capacitance (up to 22 µF recommended) for stability and transient response. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for IN, OUT, BIAS, and EN; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| BIAS | Bias supply input | Powers internal LDO control circuitry; enables operation when VIN is near VOUT; bypass with ≥0.1 µF capacitor. |
| EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic input (VIH = 0.9 V min); tie to VIN or VBIAS if always-on; drives low to activate active discharge (P-version). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail architecture (VIN + VBIAS) | Enables efficient 0.8-V output from sub-1-V sources (e.g., 0.87-V buck output) without compromising control circuit performance. |
| Ultra-low 70-mV dropout (300 mA) | Reduces conduction loss by >50% vs. conventional LDOs, directly extending battery life in 300-mA peak-load applications. |
| Active output discharge (P-version) | 120-Ω internal pulldown discharges COUT rapidly on disable - prevents floating outputs and ensures known reset state in sequenced power systems. |
| 1.5% total output accuracy | Guarantees compliance with tight core-voltage tolerances of modern ARM Cortex-M and RISC-V microcontrollers. |
| 60-dB PSRR at 1 kHz | Attenuates ripple from switching regulators, eliminating need for additional LC filtering in compact RF/wearable designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-dropout LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7A1108PYKAR | Same YKA package, identical 0.8-V output, but adds integrated power-good (PG) signal and tighter 1.0% accuracy. | Required where system-level fault detection or tighter voltage tolerance is mandated (e.g., medical certification). | Select TPS7A1108PYKAR if PG monitoring or <1.0% accuracy is needed; otherwise, TPS7A1008PYKAR offers lower cost and same footprint. |
| NCP163AMX080TBG | Single-rail (no VBIAS), 300-mA, 0.8-V fixed output, 120-mV dropout (300 mA), SOT-563 package (1.6 × 1.6 mm). | Lacks LILO capability; unsuitable for VIN < 0.92 V; larger footprint limits ultra-compact designs. | Choose NCP163AMX080TBG only if VBIAS rail is unavailable and board area permits SOT-563; not drop-in compatible due to pinout and architecture differences. |
Compared with TPS7A1108PYKAR, TPS7A1008PYKAR trades PG functionality and tighter accuracy for lower unit cost and identical integration level; compared with NCP163AMX080TBG, it delivers 42% lower dropout and 65% smaller footprint but requires a second bias supply rail.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for TPS7A1008PYKAR to regulate 0.8 V?
The TPS7A1008PYKAR supports a minimum input voltage of 0.75 V, enabling operation with only 70 mV headroom above its 0.8-V output. This is achieved via its dual-rail architecture: VIN supplies the pass device while VBIAS (1.7–5.5 V) powers internal circuitry. The device remains functional even when VIN drops below the bandgap reference, making it ideal for deeply discharged battery scenarios.
Does TPS7A1008PYKAR require an external pull-up on the EN pin?
No, the EN pin of TPS7A1008PYKAR does not require an external pull-up. It is internally biased and functions as an active-high enable with VIH ≥ 0.9 V and VIL ≤ 0.4 V. If always-on operation is desired, EN may be directly tied to VIN (provided VIN ≥ 0.9 V) or to VBIAS. Driving EN low activates active output discharge in the P-version (confirmed by 'P' in TPS7A1008PYKAR).
Can TPS7A1008PYKAR operate without the VBIAS supply?
No - TPS7A1008PYKAR requires both VIN and VBIAS to be within specification for normal operation. The VBIAS rail (1.7–5.5 V) powers the internal control circuitry, including error amplifier and reference. Omitting VBIAS prevents regulation regardless of VIN level. Global UVLO ensures both rails meet thresholds (VIN > 675 mV, VBIAS > 1.54 V) before enabling output.
What is the purpose of the BIAS pin on TPS7A1008PYKAR?
The BIAS pin on TPS7A1008PYKAR separates power delivery for the pass transistor (VIN) from control circuitry (VBIAS), enabling high efficiency in low-VIN, low-VOUT applications. By using a higher, stable VBIAS rail (e.g., battery or PMIC backup), the LDO maintains fast transient response and low IQ even when VIN approaches VOUT - a capability absent in single-rail LDOs.
Is TPS7A1008PYKAR pin-compatible with other TPS7A10 variants?
Yes - all TPS7A10 YKA-package variants (including TPS7A1008PYKAR, TPS7A1010PYKAR, etc.) share identical 5-pin DSBGA pinout and footprint. Output voltage is set internally; no external resistors are used. This allows voltage-scaling flexibility within the same PCB layout, provided VBIAS and capacitor requirements remain compliant.
