Product details
Overview
TPS7A2040PDQNR from Texas Instruments is a 300mA ultra-low-noise, low-IQ, high-PSRR LDO regulator in a 4-pin X2SON (DQN) package, delivering 4.0V output with ±1.5% tolerance, 7μVRMS output noise, and 95dB PSRR at 1kHz. It operates from 1.6V to 6.0V input and supports RF and precision analog circuits in space-constrained battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS7A2040PDQNR datasheet, TPS7A2040PDQNR pinout, TPS7A2040PDQNR application, or TPS7A2040PDQNR equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 300mA (140mV max), smart enable pulldown (500kΩ internal), stability with 1µF ceramic output capacitor, and thermal performance in the 1mm × 1mm X2SON package.
Technical Context
The TPS7A2040PDQNR uses a precision bandgap reference and adaptive biasing to achieve ±1.5% output accuracy across load, line, and temperature (–40°C to +125°C). Its internal soft-start limits inrush current, while the smart enable circuit integrates a 500kΩ pulldown resistor to ensure default disable state without external components.
Designed for noise-sensitive signal chains, it delivers 7μVRMS integrated noise (10Hz–100kHz) without requiring a noise-bypass capacitor, and maintains 92dB PSRR at 1kHz under 300mA load-critical for powering ADCs, RF transceivers, and PLLs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 4.0V with ±1.5% max tolerance over load, line, and temperature - ensures stable supply for 3.3V/4.0V logic and analog rails. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and RF front-ends in portable devices. |
| Output Noise | 7μVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) - eliminates need for external noise-bypass capacitor, reducing BOM count and PCB area. |
| PSRR | 95dB at 1kHz, 92dB at 1kHz @ 300mA - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding sensitive analog stages. |
| Quiescent Current | 6.5μA typical - enables multi-year battery life in always-on IoT sensors and wearables. |
| Dropout Voltage | 140mV max at 300mA (VOUT = 3.3V), 145mV max at 300mA (VOUT = 3.3V, DBV) - supports operation down to 4.14V input for 4.0V output, maximizing battery utilization. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.6V to 6.0V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), LiFePO4, and 3.3V/5V system rails. |
| Stability | Stable with ≥1µF ceramic output capacitor - enables use of small, low-ESR MLCCs; no tantalum or electrolytic required. |
Pinout & Package
The TPS7A2040PDQNR is housed in a 1mm × 1mm, 4-pin X2SON (DQN) package with wettable flanks. The thermal pad (Pin 5) must be connected to GND for optimal thermal performance (RθJB = 110.6°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 4.0V; requires ≥1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability and transient response. |
| 2 (GND) | Power ground | Common return path; connects to thermal pad (Pin 5) for enhanced heat dissipation and EMI control. |
| 3 (EN) | Enable input | Active-high logic; 0.9V min VEN(HI), 0.3V max VEN(LOW); internal 500kΩ pulldown holds device off when floating. |
| 4 (IN) | Input supply | Accepts 1.6V–6.0V; benefits from local 1µF ceramic capacitor to suppress source impedance effects. |
| 5 (Thermal Pad) | Thermal & electrical connection | Must be soldered to GND plane; not electrically isolated - improves θJA by ~30°C/W vs. floating pad. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low noise regulation | 7μVRMS output noise enables direct powering of RF receivers, high-resolution ADCs, and low-phase-noise synthesizers without added filtering. |
| Smart enable with pulldown | Integrated 500kΩ EN pulldown eliminates external resistor, preventing unintended startup during board handling or unpowered states. |
| Low dropout at full load | 140mV max dropout at 300mA allows >96% efficiency at 4.0V output from 4.14V input - critical for extending Li-ion battery runtime. |
| Micro-power quiescent operation | 6.5μA IQ enables always-on monitoring in battery-backed security sensors and real-time clock supervisors. |
| Small-footprint packaging | 1mm × 1mm X2SON footprint saves >75% board area vs. SOT-23-5 - ideal for compact wearables and camera modules. |
| Automatic output discharge | 150Ω internal pulldown on OUT during shutdown prevents floating rail and ensures predictable power sequencing in multi-rail systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPL7407LPGQDR | 7-channel 500mA N-channel array with 1.8–6V input; no fixed 4.0V option; higher IQ (25μA) | Targeted at LED/relay driving, not precision analog regulation | Select only if discrete FET switching-not low-noise regulation-is required. |
| TPS7A0540PDBVR | 200mA, 4.0V fixed, 1.6–6V input, but 25μVRMS noise and 60dB PSRR @ 1kHz - significantly noisier and lower rejection | Suitable for digital I/O rails, not RF or high-precision analog | Choose only when cost sensitivity outweighs noise/PSRR requirements and load current ≤200mA. |
Compared with TPL7407LPGQDR and TPS7A0540PDBVR, the TPS7A2040PDQNR uniquely combines 4.0V fixed output, 300mA capability, 7μVRMS noise, and 95dB PSRR - making it the sole option among the three for powering noise-critical RF and metrology circuits in miniaturized designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the TPS7A2040PDQNR?
The TPS7A2040PDQNR delivers up to 300mA of continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TJ ≤ 125°C, VIN ≥ VOUT + 0.3V). Current limit is internally set to 360–770mA depending on output voltage and package; however, sustained operation above 300mA may exceed thermal limits in the 1mm × 1mm X2SON package without adequate PCB copper area.
Does the TPS7A2040PDQNR require an external noise-bypass capacitor?
No, the TPS7A2040PDQNR does not require an external noise-bypass capacitor. Its proprietary internal architecture achieves 7μVRMS output noise (10Hz–100kHz) without one - a key differentiator confirmed in the datasheet's Features section and Electrical Characteristics table.
What is the purpose of the thermal pad (Pin 5) on the TPS7A2040PDQNR DQN package?
The thermal pad (Pin 5) on the TPS7A2040PDQNR must be soldered to a GND-connected copper plane to achieve specified thermal performance (RθJB = 110.6°C/W). Leaving it unconnected degrades junction-to-board resistance by >40°C/W, risking thermal shutdown under 300mA load at ambient >60°C.
How does the smart enable function behave when the EN pin is left unconnected?
When the EN pin of the TPS7A2040PDQNR is left floating, its internal 500kΩ pulldown resistor pulls the node below VEN(LOW) (max 0.3V), ensuring the regulator remains disabled by default - eliminating risk of unintended power-up and simplifying system-level power sequencing.
Can the TPS7A2040PDQNR operate with a 1µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes, the TPS7A2040PDQNR is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with a minimum 1µF ceramic output capacitor (X5R/X7R, ≤100mΩ ESR), as stated in Section 1 (Features) and Section 5.3 (Recommended Operating Conditions) of the datasheet - no additional compensation or larger capacitance is required.
