3 Description

The TPS785-Q1 ultra low-dropout regulator (LDO) is

a small, low quiescent current LDO that can source

1 A with excellent line and load transient performance.

The low output noise and great PSRR performance

make the device suitable to power-sensitive analog

loads. The TPS785-Q1 is a flexible device for post

regulation because this device supports an input

voltage range from 1.7 V to 6.0 V and offers an

adjustable output range of 1.2 V to 5.5 V. The device

also features fixed output voltages from 0.65 V to

5.0 V for powering common voltage rails.

The TPS785-Q1 offers foldback current limit to reduce

power dissipation during a over current condition. The

EN input helps with power sequencing requirements

of the system. The internal soft-start provides a

controlled start up reducing the inrush current allowing

for lower input capacitance to be used.

The TPS785-Q1 provides an active pulldown circuit to

quickly discharge output loads when disabled.
