The TPS74701 low-dropout (LDO) linear
regulator provides an easy-to-use, robust power management solution for a wide
variety of applications. User-programmable soft-start minimizes stress on the input
power source by reducing capacitive inrush current on start-up. The soft-start is
monotonic and designed for powering many different types of processors and
application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). The enable input and power-good
output allow easy sequencing with external regulators. This complete flexibility
allows a solution to be configured that meets the sequencing requirements of
field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), digital signal processors (DSPs), and other
applications with special start-up requirements.A precision reference and error
amplifier deliver 2% accuracy over load, line, temperature, and process. The device
is stable with any type of capacitor greater than or equal to 2.2 µF, and is fully
specified from –40°C to +125°C. The TPS74701 is
offered in a small 3-mm × 3-mm VSON-10 package for compatibility with the TPS74801.
