Product details
Overview
TPS7B8450QDCYRQ1M3 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive LDO regulator delivering up to 150mA output current with ±0.75% DC accuracy, 225mV max dropout at 150mA (VOUT ≥ 3.3V), and 18µA typical quiescent current - designed for always-on battery-connected systems such as automotive gateways and remote keyless entry modules.
For engineers reviewing the TPS7B8450QDCYRQ1M3 datasheet, TPS7B8450QDCYRQ1M3 pinout, TPS7B8450QDCYRQ1M3 application, or TPS7B8450QDCYRQ1M3 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-specific thermal data, cold-crank transient response metrics, functional safety documentation support, and validated alternative parts for automotive power rail design.
Technical Context
The TPS7B8450QDCYRQ1M3 implements a precision bandgap reference with UVLO (2.6V rising, 2.5V falling) and thermal shutdown (175°C trip, 20°C hysteresis), enabling robust operation across –40°C to +125°C ambient and –40°C to +150°C junction temperature ranges. Its brickwall current limit (180–260mA) and fast load transient recovery (<100µs) ensure stability during microcontroller wake-up events.
It supports both fixed (3.3V/5V) and adjustable (1.2V–18V) outputs via FB pin, with feedback voltage fixed at 0.65V ±5mV and input voltage range of 3V–40V (42V absolute max). The architecture minimizes overshoot during dropout recovery and maintains ±2% VOUT deviation under 3V/µs VIN slew rate during cold-crank conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output current | Up to 150mA - sufficient to power automotive MCUs, CAN transceivers, and SiC gate drivers without external boost stages. |
| Input voltage range | 3V to 40V (42V absolute max) - withstands automotive load dump transients and operates directly from 12V/24V battery rails. |
| Output voltage accuracy | ±0.75% over line, load, and temperature - ensures stable biasing for precision analog sensors and ADC references. |
| Dropout voltage | 225mV max at 150mA (VOUT ≥ 3.3V) - enables high-efficiency regulation even at low VIN–VOUT differentials in start-stop systems. |
| Quiescent current | 18µA typical, 4µA max when disabled - meets ultra-low-power requirements for always-on vehicle modules with multi-year battery life. |
| Thermal resistance | RθJA = 85.5°C/W (DCY package) - requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal management in space-constrained SOT-223 layouts. |
| Stability capacitor | Stable with ≥2.2µF ceramic output capacitor - eliminates need for large electrolytic capacitors and simplifies EMI filtering. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-223-4 (DCY) package: 6.5mm × 7mm footprint with exposed thermal pad soldered to GND plane for optimal heat dissipation and low RθJB (11.3°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: IN | Unregulated input supply | Accepts 3V–40V; requires ≥0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin for EMI suppression and transient immunity. |
| 2: EN | Active-high enable control | Drives >2V to enable; <0.7V to disable; must not float - internal high-impedance node requiring pull-up or MCU GPIO control. |
| 3: OUT | Regulated output voltage | Delivers up to 150mA; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic capacitor to ground for stability and transient response optimization. |
| 4: GND | Power and thermal reference | Must connect to PCB ground plane and thermal pad; primary path for heat transfer and noise return in automotive EMI environments. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the TPS7B8450QDCYRQ1M3?
The TPS7B8450QDCYRQ1M3 has an absolute maximum input voltage of 42V, with recommended operating range from 3V to 40V. This allows it to survive automotive load dump events while maintaining regulation down to 3V - critical for cold-crank operation in 12V systems. Exceeding 42V risks permanent damage per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does the TPS7B8450QDCYRQ1M3 support adjustable output voltage?
Yes, the TPS7B8450QDCYRQ1M3 supports adjustable output from 1.2V to 18V using an external resistor divider connected to the FB pin, with a precise 0.65V ±5mV feedback reference. This enables flexible voltage scaling for diverse loads like SiC gate drivers (12V) or low-power MCUs (1.2V), unlike fixed-output variants such as TPS7B8433QDCYRQ1.
What thermal performance can be expected from the TPS7B8450QDCYRQ1M3 in its SOT-223 package?
The TPS7B8450QDCYRQ1M3 in the DCY (SOT-223-4) package has RθJA = 85.5°C/W and RθJB = 11.3°C/W. With proper thermal pad soldering to a 2-oz copper ground plane, it sustains 150mA output at 125°C ambient when dropping 10V - delivering ~1.5W dissipation before reaching 150°C junction limit. Layout guidance is provided in Section 7.4 of the datasheet.
How does the TPS7B8450QDCYRQ1M3 handle cold-crank conditions?
The TPS7B8450QDCYRQ1M3 maintains ±2% output voltage deviation during cold-crank transients with 3V/µs input slew rate and recovers within 100µs after load steps. Its novel architecture minimizes overshoot during dropout recovery, ensuring uninterrupted operation of CAN transceivers and microcontrollers when battery voltage dips to 4.5V during engine start.
Is functional safety documentation available for the TPS7B8450QDCYRQ1M3?
Yes, Texas Instruments provides functional safety documentation for the TPS7B8450QDCYRQ1M3, including FIT rate calculations, failure mode effects analysis (FMEA), and diagnostic coverage reports - all accessible via TI's functional safety portal. These materials support ISO 26262 ASIL-B system-level development for automotive gateway and BCM applications.
