The TPS76901DBVT is an integrated circuit (IC) voltage regulator component manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is a low-dropout (LDO) regulator with a fixed output voltage of 3.3V. The IC is designed to provide a stable and regulated output voltage for various applications.
This IC operates from an input voltage range of 3.5V to 16V, making it compatible with a wide range of power sources. It is capable of supplying a maximum output current of 100mA, which makes it suitable for powering low-power devices and circuits.
One of the key features of the TPS76901DBVT is its low dropout voltage. It exhibits a dropout voltage of only 150mV at full load, which means that it can regulate the output voltage even when the input voltage is only slightly higher than the desired output voltage. This low dropout voltage is particularly beneficial for battery-powered applications where maximizing efficiency is crucial.
Furthermore, this IC incorporates overcurrent and thermal protection mechanisms to safeguard itself from potential damage due to excessive load or high temperatures. It also has a built-in precision voltage reference and feedback loop that ensures accurate and stable output voltage regulation.
The TPS76901DBVT comes in a small SOT-23 package, which makes it easy to integrate into compact PCB designs. This package also offers excellent thermal performance and allows for efficient heat dissipation
