Product details
Overview
TPS7A4533DCQR from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output 3.3-V, 1.5-A low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator optimized for fast transient response and low-noise RF power supply applications. It delivers 1.5 A with 300 mV dropout at full load, maintains 1% output accuracy over temperature, and operates with only 1 mA quiescent current-dropping to <1 μA in shutdown. Its stable operation with 10-μF ceramic output capacitors enables compact, high-reliability designs in wireless infrastructure and industrial systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS7A4533DCQR datasheet, TPS7A4533DCQR pinout, TPS7A4533DCQR application, or TPS7A4533DCQR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3-V fixed output, SOT-223-6 package thermal performance (RθJA = 50.5°C/W), 35 μVRMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz), 68 dB ripple rejection at 1 kHz, and Kelvin-sense capability via the SENSE pin for precision load regulation.
Technical Context
The TPS7A4533DCQR uses a PMOS pass element architecture enabling controlled quiescent current in dropout and eliminating the need for external protection diodes. Its error amplifier features a dedicated SENSE pin that supports remote sensing to compensate for PCB trace resistance up to several hundred milliohms-critical for maintaining ±1% regulation under dynamic 1.5-A loads.
Internal protection includes reverse-battery protection, reverse-current blocking, thermal shutdown, and current limiting (1.6 A typical). The device achieves fast transient response through optimized loop compensation and low output impedance, verified by load-step test waveforms showing sub-50-μs recovery with ≤50-mV undershoot/overshoot at 1.5-A steps.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±1% (25°C), ±1.33% (–40°C to +125°C) - ensures stable logic-level supply for 3.3-V microcontrollers and RF ICs. |
| Max Output Current | 1.5 A continuous - supports high-current digital loads without derating at moderate ambient temperatures. |
| Dropout Voltage | 300 mV at 1.5 A (25°C) - enables operation from 3.6-V input (e.g., Li-ion battery at end-of-discharge) while sustaining 3.3-V rail. |
| Output Noise | 35 μVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) - meets stringent RF biasing requirements for LNAs, mixers, and PLL VCOs. |
| Ripple Rejection | 68 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Quiescent Current | 1 mA active, <1 μA shutdown - extends battery life in always-on IoT sensors and portable radios. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.3 V to 20 V - accommodates wide-input industrial supplies and unregulated adapter outputs. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-223-6 (DCQ) package with exposed thermal pad connected to GND; 6.50 mm × 7.06 mm body size; requires PCB copper pour for thermal management per RθJB = 5.1°C/W spec.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: SHDN | Active-low enable control | Pulled high to VIN for normal operation; driven low (<0.75 V) to enter <1-μA shutdown - compatible with 1.8-V/3.3-V/5-V logic. |
| 2: IN | Main power input | Accepts 4.3–20 V; reverse-battery protected - no external diode needed even if battery is inserted backward. |
| 3: GND | Power ground reference | Primary return path; internal connection to exposed thermal pad - must be soldered to large PCB copper area for thermal performance. |
| 4: OUT | Regulated 3.3-V output | Delivers up to 1.5 A; requires ≥10-μF ceramic capacitor at pin for stability - enables compact, low-ESR filtering. |
| 5: SENSE | Remote voltage sense input | Connects directly to load point to cancel IR drop in PCB traces - improves regulation accuracy to ±1% under 1.5-A load step. |
| 6: GND | Secondary ground terminal | Dedicated low-impedance return for sense path - isolates feedback ground from high-current GND paths to reduce noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast transient response | Sub-50-μs recovery from 1.5-A load step with ≤50-mV deviation - prevents brownout in burst-mode processors and RF transceivers. |
| Kelvin sensing | SENSE pin referenced to load point - eliminates up to 100 mΩ of trace resistance impact on output regulation accuracy. |
| No external protection diodes | Integrated reverse-battery and reverse-current protection - reduces BOM count and board space in battery-powered designs. |
| Stable with low-ESR ceramics | Works with 10-μF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitors - avoids bulky, aging-prone tantalum or aluminum electrolytics. |
| Controlled dropout IQ | Quiescent current remains flat in dropout - unlike many LDOs, avoids sudden IQ rise that destabilizes thermal design. |
Applications
| Wireless Base Station RF Power Supply | Industrial PLC I/O Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7A4701RGWR | Adjustable 1.4–20.5 V output; lower 4-μVRMS noise; 1-A max current; WSON-10 package. | Better for ultra-low-noise analog biasing but lacks 1.5-A drive and fixed 3.3-V option. | Choose TPS7A4701RGWR only when adjustable output and sub-5-μV noise are mandatory; otherwise TPS7A4533DCQR provides higher current and pin-compatible fixed-voltage simplicity. |
| MCP1826T-3302E/DB | 3.3-V fixed; 1.5-A; 600-mV dropout; 85-μVRMS noise; SOT-223-4 package (no SENSE pin). | Lacks Kelvin sensing and has higher noise/dropout - suitable for cost-sensitive non-RF applications. | Select MCP1826T-3302E/DB for basic digital rail regulation where trace IR drop is negligible and noise <60 μVRMS is acceptable; TPS7A4533DCQR preferred for RF or precision analog loads. |
Compared with TPS7A4701RGWR and MCP1826T-3302E/DB, the TPS7A4533DCQR uniquely balances 1.5-A output, 300-mV dropout, 35-μVRMS noise, and Kelvin sensing in a standard SOT-223-6 footprint-making it optimal for RF and industrial systems demanding both performance and layout flexibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the TPS7A4533DCQR?
The TPS7A4533DCQR has an absolute maximum input voltage of 20 V, with recommended operating range from 4.3 V to 20 V. Exceeding 20 V risks permanent damage. At 20 V input, the output must remain ≥0 V to avoid violating the ±20-V input-to-output differential limit specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does the TPS7A4533DCQR require an external capacitor on the SHDN pin?
No, the TPS7A4533DCQR does not require an external capacitor on the SHDN pin. The pin accepts clean DC logic levels (0 V for shutdown, ≥2 V for active); adding capacitance may slow turn-on/off timing and is unnecessary per TI's layout guidelines and functional mode description.
Can the TPS7A4533DCQR be used without connecting the SENSE pin?
Yes-the TPS7A4533DCQR functions correctly with SENSE tied directly to OUT, which is the default configuration for fixed-output operation. Leaving SENSE unconnected is not allowed; it must be connected to OUT or to the load for Kelvin sensing. Open SENSE causes regulation failure.
What thermal performance can be expected from the TPS7A4533DCQR in SOT-223-6 package?
In the DCQ (SOT-223-6) package, the TPS7A4533DCQR has RθJA = 50.5°C/W (JEDEC high-K board) and RθJB = 5.1°C/W. With a 200-mm² 2-oz copper pour under the exposed pad, junction-to-board thermal resistance drops significantly-enabling 1.5-A operation up to +85°C ambient without forced air.
Is the TPS7A4533DCQR qualified for automotive applications?
The TPS7A4533DCQR is not AEC-Q100 qualified. While it operates across –40°C to +125°C and includes automotive-relevant protections (reverse-battery, thermal shutdown), it lacks formal automotive qualification. For ADAS or infotainment systems requiring AEC-Q100, consider TI's TPS7B87xx-Q1 family instead.
