The TPS731 low-dropout (LDO) linear
voltage regulator uses an NMOS pass transient in a voltage-follower configuration.
This topology is stable using output capacitors with low equivalent series
resistance (ESR), and even allows operation without a capacitor. The device also
provides high reverse blockage (low reverse current) and ground pin current that is
nearly constant over all values of output current.
The TPS731 uses an advanced BiCMOS
process to yield high precision while delivering very low dropout voltages and low
ground pin current. Current consumption, when not enabled, is less than 1µA and is
designed for portable applications. The extremely low output noise
(30µVRMS with 0.1µF CNR) is designed for powering VCOs.
This device is protected by thermal shutdown and foldback current limit.
